Publisher Description
From original Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler comes the inside story of Guns N’ Roses through a new perspective and his own intense struggle with addiction.
Guns N' Roses are one of America's most successful rock bands, with estimated sales of 90 million albums worldwide. Steven Adler is the original drummer, with an infamous past of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll that led to his removal from the band.
And here, for the first time, Steven Adler tells it all. In My Appetite for Destruction, he reveals his personal struggles with drug addiction, including the financial ruin he faced after being kicked out of Guns N’ Roses and the health problems that almost claimed his life several times – two heart attacks, a suicide attempt, and a debilitating stroke, as well as an epic 20-year addiction to crack and heroin.
Now clean and sober under the watchful eye of family friend Dr. Drew Pinsky, Steven wants to set the record straight on his life for all Guns N' Roses fans and anyone else who is interested in discovering what really happened during the rise and collapse of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Customer Reviews
Good read
Any fan of Guns would be a fool not to give this a read. The Adler story is shameful, daring & bursting with amusing anecdotes about a reckless life driven by extreme substance abuse.
As a character he's funny, his life experiences shocking, as a person you may find him less likable than his musical peers, but that doesn't stop this being one of the edgiest rock bios in recent memory. Not up there with Slash's or Duffs (my personal favorite) but still essential reading if you want a taste of what these guys really went through.
Fantastic Read !
This book is well worth a purchase,doesn't hold anything back,highly recommended !
GREAT!
Although the price of the book may put you off this book is a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed every page but I think you most certainly have to be a GNR fan to appreciate it fully :)
