  • W. Axl Rose: The Unauthorized Biography

    Axl Rose is one of rock's most colourful figures and yet his story has never been properly told until now. Mick Wall knew the original line up of Guns N' Roses before they were famous and has interviewed them many times. Drawing on exclusive unpublished material he has written a no-holds barred study of the turbulent life and career of the group's singer and leader.

    Wall describes Axl's difficult childhood in Indiana and how, after escaping to LA he and his fledgling band struggled to survive until they were signed up by Geffen in 1986. The first album Appetite for Destruction turned them into stars but the band's lurid lifestyle took its toll - they embarked on a two-year tour that sounded the death knell for the original line-up. As their lives slipped out of control, the original members bar Axl all left. Axl himself turned into an increasingly reclusive figure. For the past thirteen years he has been working on a long-awaited album, Chinese Democracy, and finally in 2006 re-emerged into public view as the lastest Gun N' Roses line-up embarked on a world tour.

    Scrupulously researched and vividly written, W. Axl Rose is an explosive biography of rock's biggest living legend.

    Axl Rose is in my top 5 of English mother tongue (I love a number of Asian singers that I rank separately) singers. In no particular order, he, Steven Tyler, Freddie Mercury, Robin Zander and Steve Marriott are my all time favorites. I've known that Axl was a troubled personality but I did not know to what extent until reading this book. After reading this, I guess I am one of the lucky ones who saw the original Guns 'n Roses without waiting a couple of hours for concerts to start, etc. I play their cd's to this day just about every week, especially "Use Your Illusion" which I think is just as good as 'Appetite for Destruction' Different but brilliant. I'm giving a generous 4 stars to this because I think the author gave as much information as he could about Axl Rose. I found it interesting. And, of course, tragic that someone as uniquely gifted as Axl does not seem to have any happiness from his success. I got the feeling he might have been better off if he had not become a 'legend'. Many do not handle fame and fortune well, it damages them in unpredictable ways and I feel this applies to Axl Rose, who already had issues before he became famous. I love his voice and I may be in the minority but I like 'C
