More About This Book

Overview

Forty years, twenty-eight ODs, three botched suicides, two heart attacks, a couple of jail stints, a debilitating stroke . . .

Now, Steven Adler, the most self-destructive rock star ever, is ready to share the shattering, untold truth.

Once upon a time, 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.

In My Appetite for Destruction, Adler digs deep, revealing the last secrets—not just his own but GN’R’s as well.

    Wow...

    I am glad I read this but it only makes me feel really bad for Steven Adler and even worse for his young wife. He seems like such a nice nice guy but also sooo... mentally not there. Wonder if he thinks it was all worth it now. I bet he does.

    Enjoyed...

    I really enjoyed reading about Steven Adlers life. He was very honest and he seems like a really nice guy whose been dealt a lot of crap in life. Pray his recovery goes well. Loved that he, Slash and Duff got together the other night for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!!!!

    Wow!

    This man is truly on the road to destruction. If you watched him on the reality series Sober House and Dr. Drew, you can tell what kind of a path he is/was on. His book makes you wonder how he made it this far still upright and breathing. If you like to read about the Rock n Roll lifestyle, than this is it for sure.

    Good read!

    Interesting story of Steven's life before and after Gn'R. His fight with drug addiction leaves me to believe it is a miracle he is still alive. For those who enjoy bio's of rock stars it is an interesting read.

    Honestly before watching a program that Steven Adler was on, I really had no idea who he was. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it. I have read other similar stories, i.e. Nikki Sixx - The Heroin Diaries and I felt this was just as interesting.

    Infinitely readable. I couldn't put it down

    He owns up to his part of all the drama, and he's incredibly lucky to be alive after all of this. Unbelievable.


    Amazingly, it made him more lovable and endearing to me.

    Highly recommended!

    This book is amazing! It is totally for those die hard GN'R fans like me. This book is filled with Steven's stories of early life, to his drug addictions, to seducing any girl he just so happens to walk by. It is very well written by Steven, and he is very open minded, and straight forward about things. He holds nothing back. I highly recommend this book, it is a great read.

    Good Read for GNR Fans

    I thought this book was good as it takes you from the early life of Steven Adler and how he went on to become the drummer for Guns and Roses. It also dives deep into his self destructive drug problems which led to him being fired from the band. It explains his friends with Slash (Saul Hudson) and the animosity he had toward Axl Rose. Although he seems grateful for his time in GNR -- I get the impression he is resentful for not being apart of the band for a longer period of time. It dives into the lifestyle of a rock and roll band and the pitfalls that can accompany success. In the end it's amazing that this guy is still alive with all the self inflicted wounds he caused himself. But it sure makes for a nice story....
