Just reading the book "Watch you bleed" about Guns n Roses

By Stephen Davis who did well with Led Zepellin so I bought this one too.

So far I'm on page 165 and it's "Apetite for Destruction" recorded, and it seems they really were something close to what I always thought they were, sometimes it's hard to figure out truth from myth but I guess it's more truth than myth in this book.

I mean I love their music, and they were one hell of an exciting act, it's a part of my upbringing and great memories, but I always thought many of the original members were fucked up in severe ways.

Did you know the super praised "Sweet Child o Mine" riff was originally meant as a joke? I believe that.

My props to Duff and Izzy, I always had a good feeling about those guys, Duff to be musical, Izzy to be musical and smart.

Geffen had serious concerns if they survive the original recording contract, I don't have doubt about this either.

Anyway, fuck I would so love to see them live in their early club years in Whisky A Go Go or Troubadour.



Ain't a bad read, I do recommend.
