Review:
I picked this book up safe in the knowledge that it was bound to be an eye-opening story of one of the most popular guitarists of the last generation or two. Whether or not I'd find it all that enjoyable was debatable but I'm pleased to say that I flew through it's pages as quickly as Slash etches out a guitar solo.
At over 450 pages it should satisfy any Guns N'Roses & Slash fans and I never once found myself bored. It's extremely well-written and as I've long admired Slash without knowing all that much about him the book really does open things up about the guy. I have to say I found myself often grinning at the larger-than-life character that I think Slash has created as much as is natural but I guess the same goes for the majority of big-time rock stars.
Whilst I wouldn't have expected or indeed wanted anything other than a tale full of excess, Slash does rattle on and at times boast about the vast amount of drugs he's consumed far too often. It obviously forms a large part of his adult life but it's the only aspect of the book that I found myself thinking "Here we go again". It also struck me that he paints a picture of being constantly, totally wasted back in the heyday of Guns but manages to recount in fine detail a large number of events far better than I can remember what happened to me last month ! There's also a sad account of a close friend who died of a drug overdose in his company and you can't help but turn your nose up at Slash's version of what happened. He's painted this picture of a wild, hell-rasing rock star yet the day his friend dies he goes to some lengths to convince the reader that he was being "oh-so caring" that day which really didn't sit right with me.
The above comments aside it's still a superb read & even though I've never been a fan of Guns N'Roses, I still think Slash is a great musician & his story is well worth a read.
