Written by a band insider, this is the most comprehensive, fully illustrated, up-to-date unofficial exploration of Guns N’ Roses.
 Fans of Guns N’ Roses, one of the world’s most beloved and hardest-rocking bands, had long dreamt of a reunion—and in 2016, after 23 years, it finally happened. The classic lineup of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan, with guest appearances by drummer Steven Adler (minus original guitarist Izzy Stradlin), launched the worldwide Not in This Lifetime tour to rave reviews; the tour currently runs through early September 2017. Author Paul Elliott, one of the first rock journalists ever to interview Guns N’ Roses and their former PR officer, brings a real edge to this insightful examination of the group, its music, its success, and its struggles. The book contains 200 stunning color photographs from key photographers who have documented the band’s career.

I am a lifelong Guns N Roses fan growing up in the 1990's during there peak Use Your Illusion era and breakup before the end of that decade. I know a lot about my favorite bands and fellow musicians and have read many biographies and watched lots of music documentary's in my life and I learned about a few stories about the band that I did not know ,this book covers the early Hollywood Rose days to the Appetite Use Your Illusion albums and also there are a few chapters on the long delayed Chinese Democracy which has a lot of details on it's recording and the various producers and musicians who worked on the album finally it mentions the reunion of the band in 2017 and there sold out world tour. any huge fan of the band will enjoy this bio I highly recommend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Rehashed material
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021

There's pretty much nothing original in this book. If you've read Slash, Duff and Steven's autobiographies, you won't get anything new out of this book, because the author lifted so much from them, it was practically like having a cliff's notes version. Even the pictures are all taken from Reckless Road, and other places where everyone's already seen them. The real GNR aficionados out there will be let down by this, but maybe it's something a new fan could get into.
