"How to release an album in one month"  :P

meaningful post! ? : ok:

Personally, I would recommend a marketing text book so that he learns how to promote his band properly. ?;D

but seriously,

 if no one here has read them, i recommend

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

and

The Rum Diaries by Hunter S. Thompson


also, im expecting this thread to be shut down.

"Axl is from Mars, Slash is from Venus"?

 :hihi: :rofl:

not the way i thought the thread would go, but entertaining still.

Seriously, though...book recommendations are tough...tougher than music, IMHO.?

With the way GnR has gone, I'd recommend the Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, for sure.? Axl seems to be a bit into the whole conspiracy theory thing, so....I think he'd like it.

I'd also recommend The Alienist by Caleb Carr

and Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson.

Also, the Goodkind "Sword of Truth" series.? It's got some neat underlying political themes and allegory.

Edit: Oh, and there's NO WAY your avatar could kick my avatars ass...it's BATMAN, for Gods sake! :)

Sabriel, Lirael & Abhorsen. An absolutely amazing trilogy by a very talented author called Garth Nix! But in all fairness I sure Axl will read whatever he wants! Mike

That was hilarious  :rofl:

More serious: Romanov Prophecy

Guns n Roses- The band that time forgot.

LoL

what a waste of internet space

Then why did you post  ::)

How to stay public for dummies   :hihi:

Fuckin' hilarious ? :hihi: :rofl:

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
the Deverry series by Katherine Kerr
the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
The Farseer Triology by Robin Hobb
 : ok:



(Don't know if he would like them,but I do)

 ;D

Kalevala, in finnish of course ;)

Do you want him to disappear for another 10 yrs!?  That series is enormous!! Personally, I'm waiting for the series to end so I can read it all the way through. 

Other then that, I agree with the recommendation  ;D

I only have one book to recommend to Axl Rose.  It's called, "Hurry The Fuck Up And Release Chinese Democracy, I'm Getting Fucking Tired Of Waiting".

"The Road Less Traveled" - deals with growing up, parents, issues, forgiveness, and acceptance. I liked it. It was a good read. :smoking:

The SOT Series by T Goodkind.....it will help pass the time while waiting for CD

"How to Finish a Tour" for Dummies

your an opening act, us headliners dont care what you have to say!

Scar Tissue. The auto-biography of Anthony Kiedes.

Solipsist- Henry Rollins

Heh. I actually decided to read "A Scanner Darkly" on the advice of Uncle Axl when that Rolling Stone interview came out. I had always meant to read something by Philip K. Dick, I was in between books at that time and the movie is forthcoming, so the timing was perfect. And I have to say, I really enjoyed the hell out of that book. It wasn't what I expected, but it was definitely worth reading and I am intrigued to see how they handle certain things in the movie version.

Thanks Axl!

I would recommend the "Otherland" series by Tad Williams. There are 4 books: just read the first one to check it out (City of Golden Shadows) and I guarantee you will want to read the others. Picking other books at random off the top of my head, I would add "Franny and Zooey" by J.D. Salinger, "The Book of Daniel" by E.L. Doctorow and "Wouldn't it Be Nice?" by Brian Wilson.

erotic fairy tales ,im not sure of who wrote it now.but it's a wild book.

The book of think: how to solve a problem twice your size  by Marilyn Burns - I'd recommend this book to everyone :D

How about Quit Letting Your Fans Down and Release CD after 15yrs.  This is one of my favorite.  I hate to be so negative but I hope Axl reads this.

The book that he stole his album title from ( Chinese Democracy written by Andrew J. Nathan). He's probably already read it though.


that's the main thing that gets me about when he sent the offspring the c&d order when they were gonna call Splinter, Chinese Democracy (you snooze you lose). not only can you not copyright or trademark a title, but he didn't even come up with the damn title himself!

Chicken bones for the Axl Fans who want a record soon Soup


Rock ON   :peace:

Great choice!!! : ok:

 "Fight Club" & "Survivor" by Chuck P.

I like the dummy books

"The SOT Series by T Goodkind.....it will help pass the time while waiting for CD "How to Finish a Tour" for Dummies"

how bout

How to "get to the church" on time for Dummies

Arthur Koestler's " thirtheenth tribe"

Complete works of shakespeare  :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Butterfly by Kathryn Harvey

Didn't thought about that ;D

I had read like ten books when i decided to quit and wait for it to be finished : ok:

Yeah that's it....Axl Rose needs our recommendations on books......because he has'nt had enough time to research them on his own.................

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

lol i posted something similar to that before. Ya know......I started reading that series when it started....1989.....Jordan is now writing the last book as we speak he says he's finishing in book 12 it no matter how many pages it is :hihi: he also says that you may need a luggage cart to take it out of the bookstores :rofl:

 :hihi: Yeah, there are alot of parrells between that series and Chinese Democracy.  I think before the last 2 books, they've been saying "It'll only go 1 or 2 more books, guaranteed"  :rofl:  "CD will be out in another year, absolutely"  :rofl:

I also stopped reading a few books ago.  When I got to the point where I was hallucinating the plots and characters during the birth of my daughter, I figured it was PROBABLY time to take a short break.  I have to reread all of them every time a new one comes out, and it was getting ridiculous!

When I have CD and the last book, my life will be complete...nothing more to wait on the edge of my seat for! ;D

You took my joke  :(
I was going to say "how to finish an album" for Dummies
