Voodoo Dolly Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I feel as if i've missed something and that everyone knows except me. On Mick Walls blog (where he talks endlessly about Axl) he mentions the Axl Rose book he's writing and Ross Hafin mentions it to in his blog.Is it true or am I being gullible believing them?? Does anyone know anything about this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Dolly Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks but I don't think it's that one. He's says that he's writing it at the moment and that its about Axlspecifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonx12 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Edit:- Just read ur other post, maybe it is a new one, seems a bit pointless though since this new one is due to come out pretty soon!Yeah, i doubt he would be writing another one, although i wouldnt put it past him. Mick Wall loves getting attention from the GnR name, every fucking article about Guns or Axl that he writes he just has to go into how he was "imortalized" for all time in Get In The Ring. Fine! he has written other articles and books, but he needs to move on from GnR, all he wants to do is stir up more fire, luckily i doubt Axl would give him the time of day!There is another book out there by Sorelle Saidman which is currently in the works, she has been writing it for a couple of years and has done some extensive research and interviews with people who know/knew Axl. I believe at the moment Its currently getting looking over by Axls lawyers to check the validity of the information inside and i think she recently came across some new info that she has gone back and addeded in!Jonx Edited August 16, 2006 by jonx12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Dolly Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks but I thought that the book in the above link came out years ago. Maybe i'm confused in my old age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonx12 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Looks like your right, see for yourself why what i said in my above post still stands!I am, however, writing a book about someone who makes Syd's so-called 'madness' seem like a bit of a headache the morning after one too many alcopops - namely, my old sparring partner, W. Axl Rose. My occasional running jokes about the nonsense old Waxy is currently getting up to on his comeback tour notwithstanding, this is actually going to be my serious attempt to try and put the feller's extraordinary story into some kind of proper perspective - i.e. the life, the music, the man, the bullshit, the brilliance, the bathos. The full banana.At the end of the day, who is this guy? And why - why? - is he like he is? I'm gonna try and tell ya. And no, it's not about payback for 'Get In The Ring' - that song made me a lot of money 15 years ago. In my own way, I'm rather proud of it. Except for the fact that it's not that great. Certainly not by classic GN'R standards anyway. It's not even the first time a pissed off artist put my name in a song. (That honour goes to Gary Numan - another story for another time.) No, this is going to be a serious journey and even I don't know yet what the final outcome will be. I promise you this though - it wont fuck around.In order to complete it though I'm gonna have to bury my head in work for the next few weeks. For a writer, that's a double-edged sword - it's as exciting as it gets for a wordsmith. It's also as boring as hell for all those that have to put up with him while he's doing it. By the time it's over I almost always vow I will never do anything like it again. So much so, in fact, that right now, as I think about it, I worry that I wont be able to deliver. That I'll crap out halfway through, out of gas, my balls completely deflated. It's happened before.Except this time it's personal of course so that can't happen. Instead I'll probably just shave a few more years off my life in the process. Will it be worth it though? You can be the judge of that when you get a chance to read it some time next year.http://www.mickwall.com/blog/blog.phpJonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Wall has seen how successful the tour has been and has pound/dollar signs in his eyes. He's rushing a book out to cash in on Axls name.

It is called "Axl: The Life and Times of Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses (Hardcover) by Sorelle Saidman and you can pre order on amazon.com as I did. The cost is $16.97. The book was supposed to be completed at the end of July, however it has been delayed and has not yet been released yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
