There are a lot of books about--U2, Cobain, R.E.M., Eminem, Morrison, Lennon, but not Axl Rose. That sucks monkey balls.

Dont be surprised if the album drops and a book follows, itd be pretty cool to have some kinda insight into the Chinese D saga and Axl's life in general..Id be far more interested in a memoir or autobiography written by Axl himself then any other author. At the moment I think its just theres a bit of relaxed interest in Axl and GnR, that a large scale novel wouldnt be profitable..

I think its just cause nobody knows enough about the guy to write a book that people would want to read. To write a really interesting book about Axl it would have to include some new stuff that people didn't already know about. And to find that stuff out you'd either need to get Axl to tell you about it, or someone that knew Axl well to tell it.

Probable afraid of getting sued.
And like other have said know really know that much about Axl . And getting the info you would need to write a book on him ,would probable be hard then actually getting a copy of Chinese Democracy.

If I had a dollar for every book that has been written on Kurt Cobain and Nirvana I would have a private jet on standby.

I think a big part of it is that people don't take him seriously. Compared to Jon Bon Jovi, David Lee Roth, Vince Neil, and most of his peers, he looks pretty impressive.
Compared to Lennon and Morrison he doesn't seem as impressive.
Songs like Get in the Ring and Shotgun Blues don't help the cause very much. Maybe the new album will change all that. Maybe he knows that and it's the reason he's so afraid to put it out.

There would be a billion things to write, but are yo uall sure you want to know them ?
You like axl as a myth, as he was portrayed by medias, by people who come from his past too, you like the wild axl, what would you want to know if you were to get told he has quieten down so much that he liles gardeing and reading ?
I mean, are these really things you want to know ?
As for his past, are they things you " ought" to know ?

The only official book that's out there is the Photographic History one.

Or maybe there's nothing so particular to write home about
....as far as he hasn't fallen into net addiction, hopefully.
I read somewhere that he spent a lot of time reading and painting after he quitted school.
If so, his likings haven't changed much apart from... er, gardening.........garden....atishoh!!! <- bless me, Hay fever

You can't write a book about a guy who doesn't leave his freakin' house.
first you dont know if he leaves his house or not , just because the general idea is that "Axl is hidden" doesnt mean that he is in fact in a room of his house hidden from the public.
but if thats the case and you are Axl Rose that makes a book . like a howard huges of Rock .

No.... I like Axl the mad musician. Never really bought into anything the media had to say about him.
