When I was offered the opportunity to review Marc Canter’s Reckless Road Guns N’ Roses And The Making Of Appetite For Destruction I jumped on it. Let me tell you first off that it’s not a biography of the band but a trip into yesterday with Marc Canter and the members of one of the greatest Hard Rock bands in the last 20 years.

Loaded with vintage pictures of the band and the bands they were in before Guns N’ Roses was formed this book takes you on a trip through history. The history of the entire band. From Axl hitch hiking from Indiana to LA to form form several bands to finally end up with the behemoth that was Guns N’ Roses.

Reckless Road puts you right in there with band members busting their asses in bars and broken down cars just trying to make it happen. This book has nothing to do with the future of GNR or the release of Chinese Democracy. Like the title says “The Making Of Appetite For Destruction“. Marc Canter is close friend of Saul Rosenburg (If I have the spelling right) Better known as Slash and went about documenting the bands beginning to later release thousands of photos, excerpts, and band member statements in this book. If your the type that has a short attention span then this book is for you. So many pictures and you don’t have to read it from front to back afraid of missing important information. You can thumb through it, check out the pictures read the short runs and history of each band member and the timeline of bands and events that lead up to the making of Guns N’ F*ckin Roses!!
