Slash biography pdf

Read Online. Your review Optional. Guns N Roses is, hands down, my favorite band of all time. I was excited to red this book because there are tons and tons of "dirty little secrets" from the heyday of hair metal and I hoped Slash would drop some of them. The book does detail his wild ride through drugs and debauchery, but I found the way he always seemed to dodge the blame for nearly every situation to be a little irresponsible.

Also, we all already know how big of a douche Axl Rose is, but I really didn't want to hear it all the way though this book. With that said, the book was a very good read, and explained a lot of the motivating factors behind the rise, fall and music of one of the greatest bands of all time. Long live metal! I was really dubious about reading Slash's self-titled autobiography when it first hit the shelves.

Slash spent his adolescence on the streets of Hollywood, discovering drugs, drinking, rock music, and girls, all while achieving notable status as a BMX rider. But everything changed in his world the day he first held the beat-up one-string guitar his grandmother had discarded in a closet. The instrument became his voice and it triggered a lifelong passion that made everything else irrelevant.

As soon as he could string chords and a solo together, Slash wanted to be in a band and sought out friends with similar interests. His closest friend, Steven Adler, proved to be a conspirator for the long haul. Least Likely To Succeed 6. Appetite For Dysfunction 8. Off To The Races 9.
