WATCH YOU BLEED Hardback - 2008
by Davis, Stephen
From the NewYork Timesbestsellingauthor, thecomplete storyof the last rocksupergroup from their drugfueledblast-offin the 1980s tothe turbulentlife of legendarysinger Axl Roseand hisfifteen-year,multi-million dollareffortto make theperfect hardrockalbum.
With 90 million of the band's records sold worldwide since 1987, GunsN' Roses prolonged rock music past its sell-by date with controversialalbums and immense, often riotous world tours. But the band'scomplete story has never been fully told until now. In his sixth majorrock biography, Stephen Davis details the riveting story of a band thatoriginated in the gutters of Sunset Strip and went on to set attendancerecords on the biggest stadiums on the planet.
Watch You Bleed documents the improbable story of W. Axl Rose,the biggest rock star of his generation. Taken from an abusive fatherin his infancy, he was raised as 'Bill Bailey' in a strictly religious Indianahousehold by a stepfather who beat him for playing Led Zeppelinsongs on the family piano. After quitting high school, and on the runfrom the police in his hometown, Axl arrived in Los Angeles in themidst of the street battles for supremacy among the top music genresof the eighties post-punk, thrash, hair metal, and glam. The book alsocharts the backgrounds of every band member, especially Slash, aHollywood street kid whose designer mother dated David Bowie.
Davis brilliantly captures the birth of Guns' raw power, which despiterape charges, drug-induced rampages, and a general appetite fordestruction launched the band into the pantheon of rock gods suchas Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. With a wealth of detail, Davislooks at Axl's unrelenting quest to release the long-awaited, mystery-shroudedChinese Democracy album, as well as the further adventuresof some of the Gunners under the banner of the hard-rocking bandVelvet Revolver. For the first time, millions of Guns N' Roses fans willlearn the whole truth sometimes funny, sometimes tragic about thelast of the great rock bands.
