OmarBradley Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've only read Slash's book, though I've heard good things about Duff's, Steven's, and of course Marc's. A story that I always remember from Slash's book was about him driving drunk in LA - probably early to mid 90s. If I recall correctly, it was very late at night with not many people on the road. Slash, being drunk, got into an accident with another motorist. Apparently, that driver came up to Slash and said something like, "Hey man, you're drunk, wtf." So Slash, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "Well... you're drunk." And the two continued on their merry way, not involving the police or insurance companies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Steven's book, he mentions getting raped by some guys who offered him pot. Not that it's a good story, but it explains a lot why rock stars are so messed up and become addicts and live the rock n' roll life style.

Popular Post axlsalinger Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2019 My favorite GNR story is one told by Matt Sorum in a magazine article. I read this a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) so I might be a little off on the details, but here it is: It's the UYI tour, another night where the band's been sitting around for a long time drinking and waiting for Axl, so they could go on stage. So finally Matt's had enough, and says "I'm going to find out what the hell is taking him so long" (to the horror of the rest of the band). He heads out to look, and eventually enters a room where Axl is sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, holding a shotgun. Axl says, "You can leave now". So Matt turned around and got the hell out of there as fast as he could. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinaleblood Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 My favorite are Duff's books. It's So Easy And Other Lies is great, How To Be A Man is not half bad either. They make you appreciate the man even more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Tino Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Yeah the Slash speedball hallucination story sticks out for sure But the stories I appreciate most are the ones of how the writing of appetite went down. How WTTJ was quick and spontaneous. The SCOM story, Nighttain story, paradise, etc.. that’s what makes slash’s book my favorite rock memoir.

The aspect of this that I find really interesting is also that both Slash and Duff claims to have written the main riff to WTTJ and the chorus to PC, respectively. Duff has proof for his claims of the WTTJ riff, so clearly Slash's memory is tainted there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^^^^^^^^ In one of Mick Wall's books, like 1/4 of the book was about Axl's like in Lafayette. I think it was the W.A.R. book. That was awesome to learn!

appetite4illusions Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 There was one story I remember reading in an unauthorized biography, years ago. At some point, Duff McKagan became convinced that Steven Adler had been abducted by drug dealers that he supposedly owed his life to. Duff got a sawed-off shotgun and drove down to a suburban neighborhood where be believed Steven to be located. He stormed in this house (don't understand why he was so sure it was the right one) and waved the shotgun around, demanding to see Steven. Some Korean or Vietnamese woman confronted him about breaking in her house and Duff started trashing the kitchen, still convinced Steven was hidden in one of the pantry closets. I really don't know if that's true but I hope it is, I can see it clearly in my mind and it belongs in a GN'R movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Fan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I find duffs book the best, especially as he was scathing of gnr management during illusions with them not looking after the bands welfare and not dealing with it as he should have. Also rebuilding himself after his pancreas exploding. I wish he could have covered more on his marriage with linda. Theres not much known about her....im curious about her.

Popular Post EvanG Posted January 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2019 Duff's story about how he was hanging out with mountain bikers and they were hungover and told Duff that they ''partied like rockstars'' the night before because they drank a six-pack by themselves. Then Duff told them some of his rockstar stories, like drinking throw-up because there was alcohol in it, and so the mountain bikers had to admit that they ''partied like mountain bikers''. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A naked Slash, covered in blood, screaming, running, hiding... It wasn't even Goldstein who brought him there. Goldstein brought Steven there and Slash thought it's a good idea to visit that resort too.
