slash approves The band that time forgot

[lynn1961]

So if this is not the best bio, which is the best out there? Any suggestions?

There are none.? A really good bio has the band members participating with it.? I just think you will never see this with this band.? Something about everyone & anyone who was involved with the band having to sign confidentiality agreements so no one could tell the dirt.? Probably an Axl paranoia thing, at the time.? But, bottom line, there is nothing out there that is good.? ?

I've read Walk This Way (Aerosmith) and No One Here Gets Out Alive (The Doors).? Those were, in my opinion, very good books, with band members involvement.? And I think I read some book about the Stones, a long time ago, in which they were involved with the writing of it.? The next thing I'd like to see is a GnR book - we all know about the songs and how they were written and the recordings and videos.? I want a book that is "telling" about what it was really like.? ?But, I don't think we'll ever see it, just because of the "confidentiality" thing.? I learn more by reading interviews with former band members.? ? ? ? ? ? ?

That's a point to be taken in consideration.
I mean i'd love to read about technical info about how many takes were used in any particular song, or the process of composition (which is easy to find having interviews spread all over the net). But to be honest, yeah i'd love to read about the dirt as well. And someday if it's considered to publish an "official" book, it must include controversy, for good or bad.? But yeah there's the confidentiality factor you mention, which sucks, but it's understandable.?
I'm a happier person since i entered Gn'R on Google, believe me in comparison to the years when all i had was my AFD LP sleeve and a ocassional article on the news.
