Review

''When Guns N' Roses formed, Marc became like the sixth guy in the band. He was always around and had unlimited access to the band, especially in the early days... He believed in us from the beginning and had a much broader view of what the band was about than we had from the early stages. He documented the whole thing, tirelessly.'' --Duff McKagan, on Marc Canter, Author of Reckless Road --This text refers to the kindle_edition_av edition.

SLASH

“When Gun’s N’ Roses formed, Marc became like the sixth guy in the band. He believed in us from the beginning and had a much broader view of what the band was about than even we had. He documented the whole thing tirelessly.”

Great pictures of the days gone by

By looking at the backcover of this book you can see that the author Marc Canter is definitely a Guns n' Roses
inside man. There is a lot of great never before seen pictures of the band just moments before their big break.

You find a lot of poor, rip-off books about Guns N' Roses but this one is not one of those. Do yourself a favor and
order yours today. No GN'R fan should let this one pass.

Enough said.

Really cool book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2013

Verified Purchase

Really cool book worth buying in my opinion. Many pictures and a lot of detail of what was going on while the formation of Guns was taking place. Worth buying as a collectible item, I am sure I will re-read it again at some point, its quite pleasant and not tiring at all. :)
