About this ebook
From the original Guns N’ Roses drummer comes a tale of sex, drugs, excess, hairspray, and an intense 20-year struggle with addiction.
Guns N’ Roses is one of the world’s most successful rock bands, with estimated sales of 90 million albums worldwide. Steven Adler is the original drummer, with an infamous past of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll that led to his removal from the band.
And here, for the first time, Steven Adler tells it all. In My Appetite for Destruction, he reveals with wit and candour his personal struggles with drug addiction, including the financial ruin he faced after being kicked out of Guns N’ Roses and the health problems that almost claimed his life several times—two heart attacks, a suicide attempt, and a debilitating stroke, as well as an epic 20-year addiction to crack and heroin.
Now clean and sober, Steven sets the record straight on his life and his time with Guns N’ Roses, during the rise and collapse of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
“Great for the die-hard GNR fan . . . This is a cautionary tale, all the way.” —Penthouse

Duff's book was the best, then Slashs', this guy is just full of himself. All the sex talk this guy thinks he's gods gift.

Pretty good until the last few chapters. I got the sense that the stories near the end were biased and seemed to be repackaged to make Steven seem a bit more likeable.
