Just finished reading Steven Adler's book "My appetite for destruction".
He was the original drummer for Guns N Roses before he got kind of pushed out the band for being way to messed up on drugs.
I have also read Slash's book and this rock and roll lifestyle they led sounds crazy. A lot of fun, but crazy!

Yes Motley were featured in this book as well. I can imagine that they were worse than GnR! I can't believe that these things go on!

I recently read a biog on the Eagles, Now those guy's did a bit of the Columbian Marching Dust in their time!! and then some!!!! 
I think one of the motley crew died was resuscitated and went back party with in 5 mins.
That's all true. Speaking of the Eagles, I got to meet Don Felder, about a year or two ago, and that was the highlight of my year. As he's the genius behind one of the best solos IMO of all time, Hotel California, I am in sheer awe of the intelligence of that guy. Sure I could play it, but I dont know that Id have ever thought of writing it that way, it's brilliant.

That is certainly a cool solo - Do you think that solo was written or was it totally improvised?
I would say that if it was improvised all the way through, he's a monster. My sense is at least most of it is written out or at the very least, targeted for the ending notes. The pentatonic blues sections not so much, but definitely more than improvised.

Why do rock stars have to live so rough? They dying in their own vomit...heroin overdose... and so on. These rockstars should be out there and give us some rock!!! Damn the drugs. It took so many legends away from us.
I recently read Mustaine's bio, lots of drugs in that too...
I've got the Nikki Sixx book to read next...
