Customer Review: Open, Honest and revealing
As a Fan but not a fanatic of Guns and Roses i bought this book because i was more interested in the life Slash had lead and i was not disappointed. This is a book about a life that has been lived to the full and as such is honest and very revealing about who slash is and how he gets his kicks. By the end you don’t really like him and as a person he comes across as a selfish and flawed individual. But the honesty with which he approaches his many drug and drink addictions and relationships shows a maturity that you wouldn’t really associate with a rock star. It is a really good read and very well written although i was expecting more pictures until i read at the end of the book that his best mate and long time photographer has released a companion piece of just photographs which i will be searching out. Well worth getting and you will enjoy it!
Customer Review: Slash - cutting a short story long
I bought this book based on the other recommended reviews but fail to see what the fuss is all about? The early chapters on Slash’s childhood and how he started plating Guirar are interesting but frankly it all gets a bit repetitive and quite boring after that. I think the whole thing is purely to (a) have a rant over Guns’n'Roses and (b) plug how good ‘Velvet Revolver’ are. The main part of the book is endless stories of places in LA that most of us would not know and people in LA that most of us would not know. It is all cleverly written to avoid anything that could be libellous and is just a series of opinions and one-sided views. To save you all the money, the reason Slash left G’N'R was because (a) he did not like the way the band were always late, (b) the whole legal thing between Axl and other other members and (c) Izzy and Steven left so the essence of the band was gone. That’s really all there is in it. Spend your money on some G’N'R CDs instead as they were a truly great band. Listen to them, don’t read about them!
