I picked this up at HK International on my way back to Korea and it was a surprisingly good, interesting and at times quite humorous read. It really shows how G'nR could have been even a much bigger band than they were if it weren't for Axl's attitude and the fact that at almost any given point several of them were junkies, often Slash himself.

Haven't read it, but Anthony Keidis's autobiography is awesome if your into that type of thing.

i read both slash and kiedis' biographies. i've worked with and counselled junkies in the past, and the 2 books gave me remarkable insight into the way the mind works when you're that messed up. fascinating.

i've heard criticisms that much of slash's book smooths over a few incidents, i.e. when his friend OD'd and died, but it was a very entertaining read.

Slash was on Letterman a while ago and he sounds like a nice, mellow guy now. He's definitely done a lot of living. on the other hand, Axl seeems like a loose cannon but Slash said that he hopes he can make peace with him though he isn't holding his breath.

hey, slash almost died. drank too much and his body was shutting down. the doctors told him he had like 6 months to live or something so he stopped drinking and started exercising. his body recovered and he's alive. he said he'd seen a friend die of the same thing, so he was pretty scared.

the interview is on Youtube.

Rock Star bios all ultimately derive from Jim Morrison's, as read by Dennis Leary:


" I'm drunk, I'm nobody; I'm drunk, I'm famous...... I'm drunk, I'm dead."

I guess Slash is just waiting for the right timing to release the last chapter.
