Has anyone brought up the Sebastian Bach clip where he said Axl had 40,000 words written for his book when they talked in 2010

40000 words sounding like doom metal, with really high piercing font.

[SoulMonster]

As far as authorized GN'R books and Axl biographies, we have this:

Shattered Illusion that was worked on in the 90s and intended to be released in 1995. The budding conflict between Axl and Slash may have caused this to be cancelled. But at the very least, a manuscript for this book exists somewhere, surely. 

Then in the 2000s, Sebastian Bach would reveal that Axl was working on a book which Axl later clarified was more of a "legal record" of the breakup of the band. Maybe Shattered Illusion morphed into this new book more focused on the collapse of the UYI lineup? Regardless, in 2016, Axl would talk about it being quite likely he would release a book, which sounds more like a biography again, but it was obviously difficult to write about what had happened without opening old wounds:

 

So that's what we have on this matter.

I do love that even though Slash was back in the band a minute, Axl called him a liar.

I would love to read his story from his perspective.

And oh yeah, Axl first mentioned a book in 1988 but said it would take "two or three years" according to an interviewer in Screamer.

I read Slash's book back when it was new, and I saw things in there that were factually inaccurate. Maybe he didn't remember them properly because of his drinking and drugging. I also thought it could have been a better book if Slash had written the words himself instead of using someone (I think it was Anthony Bozza) to transcribe his spoken words.

Bach lost all credibility. I doubt Axl has ever said anything like it.

[allwaystired]

Could this become the new 'new album thread'? 

Years of cyclical speculation, thoughts, views, rumours and no substance arriving whatsoever?

I do hope so!

Yeah. And I wonder how much they have really talked since Slash being back in the band.

As for the biography, I guess the time was never right. Same goes for an album. Will it ever be?

How does Axl put out a book that is factual and also doesn’t burn bridges that he has spent so much time and effort rebuilding? I’m sincerely interested in how he would choose his words. Will he temper them to keep peace with the current money making machine that is the three union? Or will he go for broke and lay it all out there like Sorum’s first draft?
