Sweersa Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 5 minutes ago, Blackstar said: Yes, he says this (which he has said before) - and then, like other people in the thread who read the book when it was accidentally released said, he doesn't have a single good word to say about Slash in the whole book. We don't know, but I think it's too much of a coincidence for it not to be the same song. Apparently it was reworked in early the NuGnR era and Axl added lyrics to it. I agree, plus a lot of people feel the song has a classic GN'R sound compared to other CD-era stuff. Maybe the clip of the version we heard in live rehearsals was closer to the early instrumentals old GN'R played. I too prefer a physical copy over digital, especially for a lengthy read. Hopefully it gets released. I guess someone could print it out, I have a spiral binder haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 It's not hard to find, if you know where to look. I'll probably give the GNR chapters a read over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post estrangedtwat Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 This pile of tabloid trash was so poorly written it only took me about 2 hours to finish. I started at the chapter when he joined Guns of course; I don't give a shit about his childhood. Holy shit, this guy clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore. He has burned every single last bridge with every member of GNR, even going as far as calling Fernando the "ten year old manager." It's actually really fucking funny, but in an unintentional way. It's nothing but gossip and trash talk. Just drugs drugs drugs and sex sex sex. Everything was everyone else's fault of course. Axl was an asshole. Slash stabbed him in the back over and over. Duff was spineless and betrayed him. Weiland was a fucking junkie mess. Frank Ferrer is a shitty drummer. The only ones he says nice things about about were Gilby and Izzy. If it ever gets officially published he'll be an even bigger laughingstock than he is. This book is utter trash....I was shocked at the end it revealed he even had ghost writers to help him! Holy shit that's embarrassing. Download and read it.....it's extremely entertaining, but it's also hilariously bad!! 7 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post estrangedtwat Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 PS......the passage where he claims that Stephanie Seymour starting RUBBING HIS BALLS while sitting right next to Axl was probably the most entertaining GNR moment of 2020 for me so far. 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of information being revealed in this book is pretty sensitive and puts the relationship between the Big 3 at risk. It deserves to be told and out in the public tho IMO. The only parts I'm interested in are the ones about Axl, to be honest. I had a feeling that he would try to get the book censored, or canceled.

I wonder if Matt sent a the galleys to him to look at first - not sure if they're that close tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfisman Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don't know if GNR would have the power to block this in any case. I mean its Matt's book, he doesn't need any approval to tell his story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) There isn't anything more about Axl in the book than the usual Matt said in his interviews. Duff is the one who is put in the most awkward position. Not only about the reunion stuff, but even maybe about the Stephanie stuff - it's possible that Axl never knew about this. 14 minutes ago, Whigged said: Well, Axl censored part of Sebastian's book, but they are apparently good friends.

Nothing confirmed, but there were some unflattering asides about Axl - one in particular where Bach said he was introduced to crystal meth by him and how the two used to smoke it together - that were excised from the final copy of the book. Something like that would likely be fodder for some pretty sensationalized headlines and I wouldn't be surprised to find out Axl kindly asked that portion be removed.

The Holographic Universe Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The book sounds disappointing. I was expecting a well written book with insights on recording sessions and touring with GNR and VR. Not Stephanie Seymour rubbed my balls. That sets the tone for me. Axl “mean eyes” and “mean aura”. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream of the Butterfly Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Why can't anything be released the normal way? I don't know where to find the book in its entirety but I've enjoyed the quotes I've read so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Cautions Made Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Thank you Matt Sorum by take care us. This is fucking great. Too bad it got cancelled I would have definitely bought it.

AtariLegend Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) He buries everyone by the end (except Izzy, Dizzy and Gilby who are rarely mentioned). - Slash constantly screws him over throughout (every few chapters) be it money, getting into arguments or not wanting him to play at the Hall of Fame - Makes claims like Duff said, Fuck Izzy and Frank can't play - It's bitter by the end tbh and cannot imagine the band wanting to have him guest. - Matt being furious when Axl, Duff and Slash went for an extra bow at a gig/Slash telling them they get to do it, because they started the band. It's pretty tame on Axl compared to Slash and Duff. I'm skeptical about some of the stories, because by his own admission he's drunk out off his mind through most of vr and gn'r.

James Bond Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 As much as there's the whole "truth is somewhere in the middle," the signs really do point to Slash and Duff just being over Matt's ego at this point in their lives and not wanting to have any full time commitments with him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackstar Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 Matt even talks shit about Axl's vocal coach, Ron Anderson, calling him a "creepy person" without really elaborating. I think the one who comes off the worst in the book is Matt himself. This is a guy who brags about coming up with a "system" for picking up girls backstage and marking the ones who had given blowjobs to crew members so that the band avoided them. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people want that....those UYI albums were legendary ...to me Slash has one of the best tones of all time on that album. I'd love to see the recording footage one day released. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
