That would be awesome if Slash did another book now, or even a new edition of his previous one with some new chapters talking about his solo record, trying to find a new singer for VR, SMKC, divorce and the return of Meegan, and GnR reunion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does. Nikki sixx seems to do a new book every few years, sebastian bach is aparently writing a second edition, and sixx is doing an update to the heroin diaries. Axls book should he ever do one, would be the one to read. He would have an astute memory, and is articulate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt really get into the nitty gritty of why he left skid row. Was nice to read a few of the ancedotes of him drinking with other muscians. Not a very in depth book. Thought he could talk more about when him and axl met in 05 or 06 . Would wait until you can buy it on the cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that would kick ass! I am kind of glad that Slash released his book when he did though because if he and Axl made up before it, I bet that most of the stuff on Axl in that book would have been taken out or amended where all the dirt would have been cleaned - so to speak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunsJail Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I bought the book in digital format. It’s an interesting read. Don’t go into it thinking you’ll wind up liking the main character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it take long before he gets there? Not really interested in his life before GNR of after VR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of GNR, not so much VR. However, his discussion of life after VR is the most interesting. Lots of interesting material about NITL and his sour grapes of not being asked to be the drummer. It has wrecked his relationship with Slash and Duff.

His attitude towards Slash and Duff is incredible. He really isn’t positive about them at all throughout the book. He acts as if they’ve left him hanging. I never came to an understanding of what he thinks he’s owed by these guys. There is some behind the scenes dirty laundry on the NITL lineup. He’s airing some shit that probably should have remained confidential. Edited April 9, 2020 by LunsJail Adding to thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that the GNR camp would not have wanted this aired publicly and I don’t personally think he should have. I feel Matt has wrecked his chances of working with Slash and Duff again, maybe he doesn’t care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general he doesn't seem that interested in doing long tours again (unless it was GnR). Like deadland ritual, they released only 2 singles and did a handful of festival appearances (playing mostly covers). 7 minutes ago, Walapino said: where can you get it?

StrangerInThisTown Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Alright just bought it, can't wait to get into it. Perfect time right now instead of July like it was supposed to be, might even re-read Slashs book to see both their perspectives, and how things match up!
