Title: Old Gn'r n' Danny Sugerman Post by: RoCoKiN on May 23, 2006, 11:15:58 PM Hey, any of you guy's read Danny Sugerman's book Appetite For Destruction: The Days Of Guns N' Roses? If any on wants to make the Guns out as Gods of Rock and Roll this guy does. And I quote from the book:
" Whatever rock 'n' roll is, Guns N' Roses personify it today like no one else. No one even comes close." (1991) And I agree in 2006 that is still true in 2006. Whether you think it's Guns or not!

Title: Re: Old Gn'r n' Danny Sugerman Post by: jimmythegent on May 24, 2006, 06:25:09 AM I found this book a bit trying myself
Not much content on Guns, more ramblings about the link between Jim Morrison and the greek god of excess Dionysis (sp?) Title: Re: Old Gn'r n' Danny Sugerman Post by: Locomotive98 on May 24, 2006, 06:31:50 AM Pretty crap book imo. Some good photos but nothing new. Sugarman just spends half the time comparing Axl to Morrison which doesnt really work. Especially as there is no comparison really. Apart from they both like leather trousers. Morrison in my opinion is THE quintessential rock star, even Axl doesnt come close. Morrison is the blueprint for all rock stars after him.
So in a nutshell, dont bother reading it mate. Title: Re: Old Gn'r n' Danny Sugerman Post by: titchy on May 24, 2006, 08:10:35 AM good book on GNR is " The band time forgot" by Paul Stenning, even has a chapter on VR
