Book Reviews of Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction
Book Review: Interesting, but bogged down by errors
Summary: 4 Stars
It's of course very rare to have so much documentation of a then-unsigned band, especially in the early 80s. The authors do a nice job of putting things together, though I'd personally like a little more narrative as it would have helped me get the bigger picture.
Nearly every page has some type of spelling or punctuation error. Seriously. A person's name will be spelled one way, and the next sentence will spell it a different way. A spellcheck would have solved many of these problems. I found it to be very distracting and made the book amateurish.
If you buy it, be sure to register for the online version so you can see and hear many of the scenes from the book. Very nice addition.
Summary of Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction
When teenager and amateur photographer Marc Canter set out to document his best friend Saul Hudson's rise as a rock guitarist in 1982, he never imagined he was documenting the genesis of of the next great rock 'n' roll band. His friend became the legendary guitarist Slash, and Canter found himself witnessing the creation of Guns N' Roses front and center. The candid shots contained in Reckless Road, taken as the band toured in 1985-1987 and made the legendary album Appetite for Destruction, capture their raw, blood-sweat-and-tears performances as well as their intimate moments. Containing original gig memorabilia including show flyers, ticket stubs, set lists, press clippings, and handwritten lyrics as well as in-depth interviews with band members and the people closest to them, Reckless Road offers an explicit, first-person perspective readers won't find anywhere else.General Books
