From one of the greatest rock guitarists of our era comes a memoir that redefines sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll
He was born in England but reared in L.A., surrounded by the leading artists of the day amidst the vibrant hotbed of music and culture that was the early seventies. Slash spent his adolescence on the streets of Hollywood, discovering drugs, drinking, rock music, and girls, all while achieving notable status as a BMX rider. But everything changed in his world the day he first held the beat-up one-string guitar his grandmother had discarded in a closet.
The instrument became his voice and it triggered a lifelong passion that made everything else irrelevant. As soon as he could string chords and a solo together, Slash wanted to be in a band and sought out friends with similar interests. His closest friend, Steven Adler, proved to be a conspirator for the long haul. As hairmetal bands exploded onto the L.A. scene and topped the charts, Slash sought his niche and a band that suited his raw and gritty sensibility.
He found salvation in the form of four young men of equal mind: Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler, and Duff McKagan. Together they became Guns N' Roses, one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time. Dirty, volatile, and as authentic as the streets that weaned them, they fought their way to the top with groundbreaking albums such as the iconic Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion I and II.
Here, for the first time ever, Slash tells the tale that has yet to be told from the inside: how the band came together, how they wrote the music that defined an era, how they survived insane, never-ending tours, how they survived themselves, and, ultimately, how it all fell apart. This is a window onto the world of the notoriously private guitarist and a seat on the roller-coaster ride that was one of history's greatest rock 'n' roll machines, always on the edge of self-destruction, even at the pinnacle of its success. This is a candid recollection and reflection of Slash's friendships past and present, from easygoing Izzy to ever-steady Duff to wild-child Steven and complicated Axl.
It is also an intensely personal account of struggle and triumph: as Guns N' Roses journeyed to the top, Slash battled his demons, escaping the overwhelming reality with women, heroin, coke, crack, vodka, and whatever else came along.
He survived it all: lawsuits, rehab, riots, notoriety, debauchery, and destruction, and ultimately found his creative evolution. From Slash's Snakepit to his current band, the massively successful Velvet Revolver,Slash found an even keel by sticking to his guns.
Slash is everything the man, the myth, the legend, inspires: it's funny, honest, inspiring, jaw-dropping . . . and, in a word, excessive.

Introspective talented guy who just happens to be an `eternal teenager`
By George M.
While Saul Hudson (Slash) turns out to be a warm and friendly, introspective talented guy who just happens to be an `eternal teenager` with a few idiotic premises, I'm going to drop one rating star on this oversized treatment of his life because of narrative repetition. We get it that he was heavily into booze and opiates all through his youth and adulthood until age 41, a year before this 2007 autobio ends. There is a solid 30% of the book describing the details of how the music was created through chaos and the amazing GNR story from top to bottom -- which is done very well -- and his unique upbringing by his very talented parents. But most of it is saturated with continuous drug exploits, each of which had a sameness to them. Drugs were a big part of the rock star image back in the day and these guys were all throwbacks; I have no argument about what they did or didn't do to party. That's life. The reader does realize this is a big part of Slash's life story, and he does clean up at the very end as the Velvet Revolver stage emerges, but Saul's booze-to-heroin-and-vice-versa addiction cycle is so repetitious in the book's pacing and so similar each time he describes it, that his narrative drags because you've heard it many times already. Coupled with the manuscript's long length, it did get a little monotonous. However, if you hang in there to the end as I did, you will discover a truly compassionate, intelligent, thoughtful man with the bright spirit of a great musician!

Excessively long and boring
By Sarahlea
Slash talks about a lot of things in this book, but most of them don't go anywhere to form much of a plot. It gives it the feel of reading a journal, but a very boring journal, more intent on documenting what drugs he did, where he was, and all of his relapses than anything truly meaningful. The juicy subjects he brings up that you really want to know about, he skims over, and seemingly doesn't know much more than anybody else why Guns broke up. I think the fact that he was on drugs so much of the time made the telling of his story disappointing, because there's a lot he wasn't fully present for, and doesn't remember enough to recount meaningfully. Not only that, a lot of misprints, errors, and awkwardly worded sentences make it difficult to enjoy this book. It was interesting to read about his early years, but other than that, he comes off as sounding very flip about everything. It makes me wonder if he even really wanted to write his story, or if he felt pressured to for some reason, and just wanted to get it over with. I was pretty disappointed with it.

Slash the Likeable Rogue
By G. YEO
My fourth rock biography in a row brings me to Slash of G & R. Slash is one of the last few classic rock icons from the modern era, which is why I read this. And as he describes it himself, Guns and Roses might well have been the last of its kind before Nirvana and grunge came in & morphed rock music.
I've always appreciated Slash as being a great axman and someone who could have gone further with G & R and rock music had they continued. But as we all know, G & R became Axl Rose Inc. and that was that.
As an individual, Slash has a tabloid worthy past and personality of his own that keeps his tale an interesting one. Despite careening through a chaotic childhood as a juvenile shoplifter, Slash eventually found his true calling through the guitar. It's like Arthur finding Excalibur, as recounted by Slash. Without the guitar by his side, he would have remained a misfit without a focus. In the book, we find out about how his dedication to his craft kept him going until his fateful encounter with Guns & Roses. Although the story of G & R's rise has been documented here and there, it's nice to hear from one of the seminal members.
As with most rock bios - drugs, booze and sex come with the territory. A chronic dope fiend, there isn't much to admire about Slash, but his honesty, childlike charm, and mostly likeable personality come through. In spite of everything, Slash's life really was a train wreck from which he re-emerged from again and again. From being the biggest band on earth, we get some insight into how Axl Rose's need for control torpedoed the band's future - and Slash's ability to continue. But the story's not done yet...this book was released back in 2009 and takes us halfway into Velvet Revolver's journey, so the book is probably due for an update...
Whatever the case, kudos to Slash for a highly readable story, and moving on after G & R to other pursuits, and starting a family.
