From the few excerpts I've read here and there he did VR for the money (ironic title for the book in that case).
I also give him minus points for apparently including the sentence "We were dangerous" when describing the band onstage.


I can't see myself reading it but then again I didn't think I would read "The Dirt" either. 
:lol:

I've seen some random little bits posted about.. like the fact he only did VR for the money, and it was one line of cocaine that was the downfall of the band, and that he was apparently raped when he was young. Who's he trying to be? Axl?!

I won't bother, I tried to read a little bit of Adler's "book." Terribly written and terribly conceived.

I'll probably skip too, partly because I get hung up on poor writing, partly because I'm a pretty judgemental guy (yeah, I know, you wouldn't have guessed..) and it's just one more way for me to think lesser of people whose work I enjoy.

I think the boundaries between books as proper and cohesively written pieces of work, and the language and style of 'online' writing such as blogging is being mixed around to create something, well terrible. 

That is scary.

(loose though)

You're welcome.

I blame the the garbage stuck beneath my keyboard. 


How do you clean that stuff?

Toothpick. (Just don't use it after.)

And don't blame me for all the disgustingness that comes out of your keyboard.

toothpick?

Somehow the Slash book was written decently, it told a story without sounding as if the writer is high on glue. Same with Clapton's book, which I think was one of the best biographies I have ever read. 

But Adler's book and a few other recent books on artists has just put me off reading on such topics. 

I agree about Clapton's and Slash's book. But I also think that Adler's book wasn't bad. I think the main thing that made it work for me is that it really sounded like him... Yeah, not a literary masterpiece but it still worked.

I didnt think Adler's book was too bad either. Try and read Vince Neil's! Haha.

I agree with u on that too Attila, Heroin Diaries was a tough one, and This Is Gonna Hurt isn't much better... Lucky the albums kick total fucking ass to make up for it :)
