內容簡介
It seems excessive…but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
The mass of black curls. The top hat. The cigarette dangling from pouty lips. These are the trademarks of one of the world’s greatest and most revered guitarists, a celebrity musician known by one name: Slash.
Saul “Slash” Hudson was born in Hampstead to a Jewish father and a black American mother who created David Bowie’s look in The Man Who Fell to Earth. He was raised in Stoke until he was 11, when he and his mother moved to LA. Frequent visitors to the house were David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Ronnie Wood and Iggy Pop.
At this time Slash got into BMX bikes and would eventually turn professional, winning major awards and money, but at 15 his grandmother gave him his first guitar. Sessions with numerous local LA rock bands followed until a fateful meeting with singer W Axl Rose…and the rest was rock history. Guns N’ Roses spent two years builiding their reputation before Appetite for Destruction was unleashed on an unsuspecting world.
Chart success and global domination followed but with it came the inevitable fall – addicted to heroin, booze and cigarettes the band imploded in a rift between Axl and Slash that is as deep today as ever. But with a new wife, kids and new band Velvet Revolver, Slash is back on track. As raucous and edgy as his music, Slash sets the record straight and tells the real story as only Slash can.

愛書的理由,很簡單——閱讀是讓自己在這個浮躁的時代裏默默超越大多數人的有效方式。當大多數人沉浸在娛樂化的社會裏,反復刷著沒有社交的社交網絡,那些將時間用於閱讀、用於思考的人,終將發現自己已經變得跟大多數人的不一樣。這就是書的魅力,偉大且潛移默化的力量。

可惜速度很慢······你們的營銷手段還真不是蓋的,第二天廣州就有貨瞭,我的還慢吞吞地從北京過來。不過······比亞馬遜便宜,這個我就不說什麼瞭。贊一個。大愛屎叔。

版麵小,但很厚,隻是不知道為什麼書上標價9.99鎊,而京東隻賣48.8。快遞略慢。總的來說還行,這本書夠我看一年啦。
