Members Phantasm Posted November 13, 2007 Members Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm almost done with it. He goes in pretty good detail of when a lot of the songs were written, what they were thinking at the time, and it filled in a lot of the blanks of how Guns and Roses was what it was at the time. I was surprised that Izzy wrote a lot of the songs that I liked, I had no idea what his level of contribution was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted November 13, 2007 Members Share Posted November 13, 2007 I read an extract from it online and it was really promising.Rock'n'roll craziness to the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phantasm Posted November 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2007 He does mix the stories of craziness in there, but it's in a very cool way. He doesn't overdo it, and he does focus a lot more on the actual musical aspect of it than I expected that he would. He also goes in-depth trying to explain his relationship with Axl.

Members jasper383 Posted November 13, 2007 Members Share Posted November 13, 2007 In interviews, Slash has always struck me as intelligent, open, and even a little humble. I bet the book is a very good look into what that band was like. Izzy was the Gunners' secret weapon. Along the lines of JPJ in Led Zeppelin. Unheralded, but impossible without him.
