I don't remember getting this for my Kindle but I noticed it the other day and figured what the hell, I'll give it a try. It was pretty boring for me because I'm not a hardcore fan. I'm sure real fans would love it, there's tons of pictures. I do think Appetite for Destruction is a great album and like reading about the making of albums but it still didn't do much for me. Although that was definitely the best part of the book, when it actually got into the making of. I do think I would enjoy a trashy biography of the band, ala Hammer of the Gods, cause trashy rock bios are a guilty pleasure of mine. The 2 stars are mostly for the messed up editing and formatting which I'm sure is Kindle's fault and not the fault of the author. Otherwise I'd probably give it 3 stars cause it's clearly a labor of love and I admire that, even though I wasn't the intended audience.

I mean, you mostly get this book for the pretty pictures. But I almost gave it only three stars because there are so many typos and grammar mistakes that I wonder if anyone ever proofread the text. To be able to follow the story, it also didn't hurt to read Slash's and Duff's biographies first.

A big picture book of my favorite band before they made it big? Yes please.

I love guns n Roses. Always have. Fave band....but this book disappointed me. The pics where good. A lot of club Pics etc. The writing tho turned me off. I dont need to know every set list from every gig and I honestly was waiting for body flatulence to be noted in between songs to be written out. Also even as I skimmed and tried to just see the pics....so many errors 😰😰

I love biographies and rock. When those two are combined in such a visual manner, the effect is just...awesome! Marc Canter has been around Guns N' Roses since the beginning. As a high school friend of Slash's, he had the opportunity to be around when the band was at its infancy. Thankfully, Marc is really handy with a camera and a meticulous collector. This book is essentially a compilation of photos and stories chronicling Guns' rise to fame.

I thought the book was done very well. Although I have read books penned by members of Guns N' Roses and have a pretty great knowledge of the band, I still enjoyed reading the interviews and excerpts featured here. The best part is that, you don't have to know anything about the band before picking this book up because you really do get a great biography.

The only downside to this book was the flooding of grammar and spelling errors. It seems like the book was ran through a spell-check but not really proof-read - common mistakes feature using the word "hear" when it should have been "here" or "quite" when the proper word should have been "quiet." It takes away from the experience a bit because the wording is a bit sloppy. Overall though, I do think it's a valuable book for any beginner or die-hard fan of Guns N' Roses.

Pretty much just a picture book. Not much information. Could have been so much better.

It's not a book that takes over a month to read. It would take me less than a single day but I went out of my way to prolong the pleasurable experience. Hands down, "Appetite for Destruction" IS the best hard rock album ever made. I say this with conviction and belief nothing will ever trump that. The passion put into that record is incredible. There's nothing it could be compared to. It's genius and this book says as much. You laugh and you cry simultaneously. Thank you, Marc, for putting this together and for believing in those guys.
