Book Reviews of Slash
Book Review: Slash and Roses
Summary: 5 Stars
I really recomend this book to all Guns and Roses lovers, You will enjoy and experience good and bad tales in the life of this great guitar player trough all amazing pages of this book.Book Review: Slash book made me forget I was in jail!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found out that I was going to jail in Arizona's infamous Tent City, I had many concerns. Finding a good book was only one of them.
Being a big Guns N' Roses fan, I purchased Slash's fantastic book on Amazon.
Not only was I entertained by Slash's hilarious and insightful anecdotal prose, I was able to ignore my surroundings when reading about the top-hatted one.
Reading about Slash's story from his interesting childhood (which is sometimes the least interesting part of biographies, but not here) to his rise to fame with GN'R, helped me realize how important it is to see the positive in my own life.
Slash's love of pinball, snakes and music, only reinforce how cool he is. Everything thing you ever wanted to know about Slash is in this book from Michael Jackson to Scott Weiland, all personalities and issues are addressed.
I recommend this book for readers both in and out of the joint. Slash will not disappoint.
Book Review: Someone needs to hire a proof reader.
Summary: 3 Stars
I was excite to read this book if only to get the inside story of the MELTDAOWN of one of the best Rock 'N Roll bands. They should have hired someone to proofread this book. Double words where there shouldn't be, wrong words, for example, when he talks about watching kids stand in line to buy the Use Your Illusion records, the sentence in the book reads "Watching the kids stand "on" line to get the new album". There are words in places they just shouldn't be. I'm no English major but come on; this is supposed to be a professional job.
The book does give you an interesting look at the build up to GNR. Showing how so many of the Rock 'N Roll people and bands of that era intermingled. You'll find things out about people you would have never guessed. It's a good inside look at the all of the band members as well.
As far as Slash himself goes, Which I have to say, I did pay to see him on Valentines Day touring along with Ozzy, Before I bought the book, it simply showed me that he his your average, everyday drug addict who simply got lucky. You'll also find that he feel that he is the only person in the world who can dislike Axl Rose because he knows him and anyone who does not know Axl personally can't dislike him. Well I Dislike Axle Rose......, He was a big part of bring that band down, also in the book, I don't care how Slash feel about that.
All in all. I guess it's not a bad book if you're into that kind of thing.
Book Review: The True Story of a Real-Life Guitar Hero
Summary: 4 Stars
It's unfortunate that Guns n' Roses often gets lumped into the same category as trendy hair and glam bands from the 80's like Poison and Motley Crew, because in many ways they were the last real authentic rock n' roll group.
Rising from the gutters of Los Angeles to world-wide infamy and superstardom, G-N-R blazed a trail of debauchery and destruction everywhere they played. Leading that charge were Axl Rose and Slash - a musical union that was as chaotic as it was perfect.
Slash is the brash and uncensored story of a living rock legend that's fortunate to be alive - a real guitar hero. His story is wild, excessive and sad. He delves into detail about his private and musical relationships, addiction to drugs and alcohol, and love of rock.
Only in the bizarre world of rock n' roll could Slash's combination of naivety, raw talent and reckless determination have led to success.
No way will true rock fans be able to put this book down.
Book Review: The problems with this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
The problems I had with this book. I have just finished reading it tonight. The first problem was it took up a lot of my time without me realising it. I could not put this book down. This book literally is the second book I have read from start to finish and I was absolutely mesmerised by it. If you like Slash, GNR and the rest of the guys then this is the book for you. I would say it gives you a good insight about the band and Slash's life. The second problem I have now is I don't think the rest of the guys have done the same and it is such a shame that they haven't because the world from their mouth would complement this book so well. The thing that interested me the most when reading the book is that Slash talks about a documentary they were working on during the Use Your Illusion tours. Because of the demise of the band all the film reels have been locked away never to see the light of day. This is a Guns N Roses Film that needs to be completed for all the fans. I will give this book 20 out of 10 and advise all hardcore GNR fans to buy this.
