A big, brash history of Guns n' Roses charismatic, talented and idiosyncratic leader'An archetypal rock biography that captures the runaway-train spirit of the singer and his band You don't have to be a Guns N' Roses fanatic to dig this energetic, comprehensive, few-holds-barred portrait of modern metal's most charismatic figure. ' 'Kirkus Reviews'Even in the rock world, a figure like Axl Rose doesn't come along very often. Mercurial and brilliant, deluded and imperious, Rose defies easy description. 'W. A. R. ' reveals Rose's childhood influences (and how he got his name), tracks the birth of G n' R and delves into the stories behind their monster albums 'Appetite for Destruction' and 'Use Your Illusion. ' But with those successes came excesses drugs, infighting and a lead singer who morphed from eccentric to seemingly unhinged. Journalist Mick Wall had unprecedented access to Rose and G n' R during their heyday and gives a more richly detailed portrait of the band than you've ever read before. 'W. A. R. ' has fresh views on: --the death of two fans at the Donington Park concert in England--Rose's fallout with all the other original G n' R band members, including Slash--fights with Kurt Cobain, Vince Neil and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger--Rose's no-shows at concerts throughout his career--the lead singer's becoming a recluse at his Malibu mansion for most of the last fifteen years--the much-gossiped-about and long-awaited album 'Chinese Democracy''
