Slash is to write his autobiography, reports New York Business.
Reporter Matthew Flamm writes that the guitarist - formerly of Guns N' Roses and presently Velvet Revolver - has sold the story of his life to publishers HarperCollins. He will work with Anthony Bozza, who previously assisted Tommy Lee on his book, Tommyland.
Slash - real name Saul Hudson - was a member of Guns N' Roses until 1996; Velvet Revolver's Contraband LP was released in 2004, with its follow-up Libertad due for release later this year.
A book on GN'R frontman and sole original member Axl Rose is also forthcoming: W.A.R.: The Unauthorised Biography of W. Axl Rose is being penned by British writer Mick Wall and will be released in the Autumn.
Axl Rose's biography forthcoming?
Yeah....... right!
Figure it comes w/a free CD?
Heh.
seriously..
with the amount of drugs/booze slash has consumed, i'm surprised he remembers how to play guitar, never mind enough of his life to write an autobiography
I've a couple of friends
that met Slash in a bar in New York and said that he seemed like a really nice guy and fairly with it. I'm sure it would make an interesting read. I think I may get it when it comes out.
I've
always preferred slash to any of the other GnR members. This could be a good read, kind of like the Motley Crue autobiography where they fuck the burritos, expect some Spinla Tap style stories.
Awesome
agreed....I hope it's as good as The Dirt......arguably one of the best rock and roll books around.
the dirt is amazing
probably the most rock'n'roll thing ever commited to print
my favourite was always
Izzy Stradlin
Axl's book is being written by Mick Wall?
Doesn't Axl have a dig at him in Get In The Ring?
"That goes for all you punks in the press...
...that wanna start shit by printing lies instead of the things we said. That means you Andy Sescher at Hit Parader, Circus Magazine, Mick Wall at Kerrang ... fuck you, suck my fuckin' dick"
In short, yes. But I bet he loved that. He's been immortalised in song.
I think there's a Slash biog coming out soon
too, on IMP
