LAST OF THE GIANTS: THE TRUE STORY OF GUNS N’ ROSES
Book ID/图书代码： 10010016B95095
English Summary/英文概要： Many millions of words have already been written about Guns N’ Roses, the old line-up, the new line-up. But none of them have ever really gotten to the truth. Which is this: Guns N’ Roses has always been a band out of time, the Last of the Giants. They are what every rock band since the Rolling Stones has tried and nearly always failed to be: dangerous. At a time when smiling, MTV-friendly, safe-sex, just-say-no Bon Jovi was the biggest band in the world, here was a band that seemed to have leapt straight out of the coke-smothered pages of the original, golden-age, late-sixties rock scene.
’Live like a suicide’, the band used to say when they all lived together in the Hell House, their notorious LA home. And this is where Mick Wall first met them, and became part of their inner circle, before famously being denounced by name by Axl Rose in the song ’Get in the Ring’.
But this book isn’t about settling old scores. Written with the clear head that 25 years later brings you, this is a celebration of Guns N’ Roses the band, and of Axl Rose the frontman who really is that thing we so desperately want him to be: the last of the truly extraordinary, all-time great, no apologies, no explanations, no giving-a-shit rock stars. The last of his kind.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 关于枪炮与玫瑰的故事数不胜数，但却很少有真正挖掘真相的。枪炮与玫瑰一直以来都是一支不合时宜的乐队，他们是危险的，自滚石乐队以来，许多乐队都试图尝试危险但却没成成功……
“生活如同自杀”，当这支乐队一同住在地狱般的房子（他们位于洛杉矶的臭名昭著的家）里时曾说过这样的话。那里也是Mick Wall首次遇见他们的地方，并且成为了他们核心圈子的一员。
但这本书并非关于“翻旧账”，25年后清醒地撰写这本书，是对枪炮与玫瑰这支乐队的庆祝，也是对该乐队创始人兼主唱Axl Rose(艾克索•若斯)的赞扬，Axl Rose是一名传奇的、伟大的摇滚乐巨星。（LYR）
