About this ebook
Even if you're not familiar with the band's music, there's hardly a baby boomer in the world who hasn't heard of Guns n' Roses, the most dangerous hard rock band in the world. Frontman Axl Rose has a reputation for being disagreeable and volatile. But how did he get this reputation? Is he really a creative genius or is he just plain crazy?
