Watch You Bleed: The Saga of Guns N’ Roses

Description

With 90 million of the band’s records sold worldwide since 1987, Guns N’ Roses prolonged rock music past its sell-by date with controversial albums and immense, often riotous, world tours. But the band’s complete story has never been fully told – until now.In his sixth major rock biography, Stephen Davis – author of the legendary Hammer of the Gods – details the riveting story of a band that originated in the gutters of Sunset Strip and went on to become the biggest, baddest band on the planet.Davis brilliantly captures the birth of Guns’ raw power, which – despite rape charges, drug-induced rampages and a general appetite for destruction – launched the band into the pantheon of rock gods such as Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. With a wealth of detail, Davis looks at Axl’s unrelenting quest to release the long-awaited, mystery-shrouded Chinese Democracy album, as well as the further adventures of some of the Gunners under the banner of the hard-rocking band Velvet Revolver.In Watch You Bleed, for the first time, millions of Guns N’ Roses fans will learn the whole truth – sometimes funny, sometimes tragic – about the last of the great rock bands.
