best Guns N' Roses memoir

Slash with the eponymous concision.

This is between Duff and Slash. Slash's stories are more exciting. Duff is more amiable and believable. Steven's is pretty much depressing through and through.

It's hard to beat the little blue predator guys.

Steven vs. Slash:

"Saul and I would hang out at Osco's disco on La Cienega just across the street from the Beverly Center. Of course it wasn't normal for fourteen-year-old kids to hang out at a disco, but we had an older look to us. And even if we got carded, Saul, who was an expert artist, had taken our IDs and changed the date to make us of legal age. We never had a hard time getting alcohol or getting into the place. We went there just about every weekend of 1977 and 1978. There were like ten different theme rooms in the place. They were mostly sexual in nature, with settings like the baths of ancient Rome, open deserts with rolling dunes, a fully equipped dominatrix chamber, the wildest shit."

"The Cathouse inhabited the building that used to be Osco's, the ridiculous disco that was featured in the movie Thank God It's Friday. I remember Osco's being the spot for all of those 'crazy' people when I was a kid, but I never went in there."

I've read Duff's and Slash's, and I'm going with Duff. The anecdotes may be better in Slash, but Duff's was engaging as hell.

Was surprised by how much of Duff's book amounted to "this is what it is like dealing with Scott Weiland" I guess no amount of fish and honeydew and karate can wrangle in a true rock and roller

don't want to read any of em but post more anecdotes.

Another time that she might have caught on to my nocturnal activities but didn't was the morning that she woke me up on the couch in the living room. Apparently I'd nodded out with the needle right there next to me.

"Sweetie," she said. "I think the cat is playing with something."

I looked down to seee one of my cats smacking my needle around like it was a mouse.

At least there was booze.

That evening, there was a knock at my door. I opened it. The hallway was dark. The soldier was gone. Instead there was a guy in a suit-also carrying a machine gun.

"Yayo?" he said. I had learned this was slang for coke in South America.

"Yayo?"

I slammed the door and locked it.

Shit.

I'm being set up.

I've read them all and Duff's is the most lucid, insightful, and detailed. Slash's is a straight retelling, fairly fluffy. Steven's is the most sentimental. The order of which to read:

Duff
Steven
Slash

nice interview. I'm ashamed that I didn't even realize Quinn was still with MTV as late as UUI. like, I had watched mtv a lot, but my memories of watching it on heavy rotation are all kurt loder and tabitha soren.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Didn't put this together until now, but the guy who wrote "W.A.R.: the Unauthorized Biography of William Axl Rose" was one of the guys Axl called out in Get in the Ring.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
