Legendary Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan tells in his book not only about the typical temptations of a rock star: fast fame, big money, and drugs, but also about how he came face to face with death and managed to rise from the ruins like a phoenix.
"Perhaps my friends and former bandmates remember some stories I told differently than I do. But I know that any story can be looked at from different angles. These stories are mine, told from my point of view. This truth is my truth." - Duff McKagan
"A straightforward story of true hell and rock 'n' roll heaven." - David Fricke, Rolling Stone magazine
Musician and multi-instrumentalist Duff McKagan played drums and guitar in various bands in his native Seattle, but gained true fame as the bassist of Guns N' Roses. The band's album "Appetite For Destruction" became the best-selling debut album in rock music history.
Duff was the youngest of eight children in a family that scrimped on everything. From an early age, he used drugs and alcohol, and dropped out of school at 18. It seemed like nothing good would come of his life. But Duff took control of his destiny. He turned out to be very talented and very determined. Avoiding a tragic death from overdose (McKagan drank ten bottles of wine a day!), he quit his harmful habits, earned millions of dollars, bought a house, started a family, graduated from business school, and founded his own consulting company in finance and investments. And, of course, he became a rock star.
Duff tells all of this in his autobiography. Through his memories, we will see how the star of Guns N' Roses rose, what the band members were like at that time (including the legendary Slash), and how the hits that topped the charts were created.
This is a book about pain and overcoming it. A book about the choices we make and their consequences. A book about a person who challenged himself and emerged victorious.
