Synopsis

From Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns N' Roses, comes My Appetite for Destruction, the inside story of GNR. Offering a different perspective from the bestselling Slash, Adler chronicles his life with the band, and own intense struggle with addiction, as seen on Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.

About Steven Adler

Steven Adler-along with four uniquely talented but very complicated and demanding musicians-helped form Guns N' Roses. They emerged from the streets, primal artists who obliterated glam rock and its big hair to resurrect rock's truer blues roots . . . and took "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" to obscene levels of reckless abandon. By the late 1980s, GN'R was the biggest rock band in the world, grabbing headlines and awards while selling out huge arenas. But there was a price to pay. For Adler, it was his health and sanity, culminating in his brutal public banishment by his once-beloved musical brothers-a humiliating act of betrayal that caused him to plunge into the dark side and spend most of the next twenty years in a drug-fueled hell.

Goodreads review by claud. on July 05, 2017

The great thing about Steven's book was that he wrote about some things from the band’s history that Duff nor Slash didn’t write about.

Steven Adler certainly has experienced a rough life of the cliche world of sex, drugs and rock & roll. The question that I have to ask is why write a book about it?

Goodreads review by Bon Tom on March 30, 2020

This is a real rock'n'roller autobiography that fulfills every related stereotype you might have, when it comes to superstar musicians and their biographies. Because, on both accounts, it's hard-core as they get. Nothing is held back and, I must say, it's eye opening. At least in my personal case. F......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on November 10, 2011

I’m a huge fan of Guns N’ Roses, so I’ve read my fair share of biographies about them. After reading the band’s ex-guitarist, Slash’s autobiography, I was more than a bit dubious about picking up ex-drummer Steven Adler’s book. After all, he is the one that has the severest drug problems, and probab......more

Goodreads review by Josh on January 26, 2012

Former Guns and Roses drummer Steven Adlers' memoir begins like a carbon copy of all other rock star biographies. Born in the mid-west - Check. Troubled child hood - check. Moving out to LA based on happenstance - check. Famous folks drifting in and out of their lives - check. Wild groupies - Check......more
