Title: Slash Writing A Biography, Book To Be Delivered This Fall Post by: Grouse on February 17, 2007, 04:21:37 PM Thnx go to Madison for finding this one, This will be one of the most interesting books ever for me
New York, New York edited by Valerie Block 12 February 2007 Crain's New York Business Rocker gets booked Fans of guns n' roses may never hear a new album from the defunct band, but at least they'll be able to read about their favorite legendary rockers. Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash (right) just sold his autobiography to HarperCollins. The British born, California-raised ax man will work with writer Anthony Bozza, who helped drummer and carouser Tommy Lee pen his memoir, Tommyland. The manuscript is due to be delivered in the fall. Slash, born Saul Hudson, left Guns N' Roses in 1996 following a split with group leader Axl Rose. He went on to form the band Velvet Revolver. A HarperCollins spokeswoman confirmed Slash's deal. Also in the works is W.A.R.: The Unauthorized Biography of W. Axl Rose, by British rock writer Mick Wall. The book is due out in Britain in the fall and is currently making the rounds of New York publishers. ``[Guns N' Roses] is a great story, and it's not finished yet,'' says Mr. Wall's U.S. agent, Barbara Zitwer, referring to the unfinished album that Mr. Rose has been working on for years.

So you're easily influenced eh?... ;) Heh. Well, to be fair, I would be looking at the opinions of my fellow GN'R fans... since I would trust their opinions on a Slash book. I figure it won't suck though. We'll see.

Sure. Haha. I'm gonna check this out definately, but he is using a ghost writer, right? Title: Re: Slash Writing A Biography, Book To Be Delivered This Fall Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on February 17, 2007, 05:08:01 PM I'll get it, I wanna see what he has to say about my old boss and especially the other guys in the band.
Title: Re: Slash Writing A Biography, Book To Be Delivered This Fall Post by: sic. on February 17, 2007, 05:29:53 PM Will be very interesting to read what he has to say. Particularly on the the changes in GNR's dymanics when Steven and Izzy left, and during the "dead years" of the old lineup (94-96), where there have been a mere few comments from the band.
In the current situation, the VR chapter will also be concluded in a high moment, with Contraband out and a follow-up currently underway. A happy ending for what I expect to be quite a story.

Let's just hope he/Axls lawyers don't decide to cut back on the juice. Title: Re: Slash Writing A Biography, Book To Be Delivered This Fall Post by: GNRreunioneventually on February 17, 2007, 08:55:27 PM sweet :D
