Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction

Reckless appetite for Guns'n'roses
This book certainly was more than I expected. Great collection of old Guns'N'Roses pictures,plenty of information regarding the recording of my favorite rock album of all time, interviews and opinions from "key factor" persons in that process.It helps you understand the state of mind and the situations that defined that raw power and the aggressiveness of the album.Although Use Your Illusion albums are great pieces of music they lack that element of "street gang style" of the AFD album!And the state of the band in each period is explanatory.The only negative is the fact that the internet site that should give you access to all the relative concert clips is no longer active and all the dialogues from each concert make no sense alone!

Excellent Pics
Almost like a scrapbook of pics. Almost felt like a diary. Great for true GnR fans. Thought it was a bit short for the price. I was enthralled and it was over.

Awesome for any Guns N’ Roses fan
Love this book but I’m also a huge Gnr fan. The only thing I wish was different was the cover. It would have made more sense to have a hard cover

Good book if you just want pictures
This book had a lot of great pictures but I wanted more of the stories that I knew Marc Canter had to tell. Lot of pictures of tickets, flyers, song lyrics boring stuff.

A first person true experience.
Internet is full of people that don't know anything and yet dare to write a "memoir" of something they didn't witness or care to investigate.This book is the total opposite.The author, was there, Live there, experienced everything.I won't detail on the pictures, they will leave you speechless, mention your favorite band, all of us wish our chosen band had a book at least as half as good as this one.The photos, are the sort of, raw but clear, all detail giving images that we fans of crude, rude music rave for.It's also important to notice that is printed on high quality paper.Thanks for documenting all of this priceless moments.

A Crazy Fun Time
I remember when Guns hit the scene and everything changed. I was looking for a type of music that matched my emotions and lifestyle. My groups of people rode motorcycles, partied 24 hours a day, and loved chaos. Guns was perfect music for that time in our lives. We hated glam rock. We loved bands like AC/DC and after we saw Guns open for Aerosmith in 1988 we adopted the band as our music for our time give young and reckless. Some of us are still alive and free and still love the band. I had some of the craziest times of my life with songs like Nighttrain in the background. It was the last of the good old rock n roll party til you die fun to be had in the United States. I am very fortunate to have lived during a time when a person could be reckless and free. Guns and Roses were a perfect band for a reckless time.

"Fan"tastic Photo Scrapbook!
Marc has just done a great job. Loved the way it was put together with the setlists, comments, backstory on the making of the greatest rock album of all time, Appetite For Destruction. I just loved seeing all his personal scrapbook items: ticket stubs,posters, flyers, etc. Of course, you buy it for the photos! They are amazing as Marc was front and center, backstage, offstage and he takes awesome photos yet humbly calls himself an amateur photographer. The grammar and spelling might not be perfect, but the photos are. I've read all the member's books and this is great to put the photos with the detailed stories they tell about each particular gig-the little notes of what went on and dialogue onstage that Marc actually recorded (part of the enhanced features). Loved the sexy info and photos. Like that Michelle Young contributed, how cool, "My Michelle" is one of my favorites. I was a little worried that since Marc was Slash's best friend, there might not be enough Axl in the book. Don't worry, there is plenty of Axl in some of his best outfits from the club days. Buy it already!

The Making of Appetite for Destruction
Gutes Buch über die Geschichte der Band bis zur Entstehung von AfD, mit vielen Fotos und Interviews, leider mit einigen Rechtschreibfehlern. Gehört in jede GN`R-Fan-Bibliothek.
