A must for a GnR fan

Steven Adler don't hold back!
His journey and time with GnR is openly revealed in this book.
the narration will draw you in as if you are watching it with your own eyes.

Great book enjoyed all the gnr band’s books

Really saw how gnr was and made me feel i had more information on how different sides of each person

great book but...

great audiobook but the narrator should have taken a few minutes to learn how to pronounce some of the names of people, especially well known rock musicians.

Absolutely worth a listen, narrator is not great

As a life long GNR Fan this was a great story. Lots of info and the down and dirty of rock and roll. The narrator is not my favorite. Story really hangs on the drugs, which feels unending but that's the nature of the beast I suppose. So much I didn't know, and so much I don't think I wanted to know. So ugly it's fascinating.

Hits Home For a GNR fan from day-1

The voice actor was outstanding, captured all the emotions that Steve Adler did such a great job capturing.

Great but heartbreaking

This was a fantastid audiobook. Not only as it's a great first hand account from a member of GNR but also as a first hand account of an addict. I myself am a recovering addict, and so much of this man's pain and ability to repeatedly destroy himself was incredibly relatable. I had to stop a few times because it was too relatable. The man is an addict, and addicts end up being their own worst enemy. Even so, it seems the world's cruelty was extra strong for Steven. His story is one of a fall...and then more falling...and then when a glimmer of hope and happiness comes around....more falling.

I don't know him personally, but I do know how addicts can think. I hope he finds his happiness and I hope that when he says it, he means it....

over all pretty good

Content is great. The reader sounds like he is just trying to hard to be dramatic.

Adler’s Appetite

Good to hear it from Steven’s perspective. Good book... It’s just my personal opinion but I think all rock n roll bios that go AUDIBLE are much better when narration is done by the individual. I know in Steven’s case it may have been a bit challenging but fk it, if he was cool with it they should have had him do AUDIBLE.....Otherwise, book is still good

Self loathing and need for attention

This entire book was based on Alder’s need for affection and attention. All the sex bragging, drugs and behavior issues clearly tell his yearning for attention. When his friends came around he loved the attention. I listen to allot of audio biographies for rock stars and not one seem to thrive on the attention as this guy needed. No sympathy for this dude, if you don’t help yourself I won’t help you. I del with allot of attention getters in life and they are the worse kind of person. This sounds really bad of me but all the sympathy went out the window.

Whatttt!!

I am a fan of the original Guns and Roses but didn’t realize / know how one sided things were. Young and dumb I suppose.

Anyway, don’t want to let anything out of the bag but it was a decent tittle and recommend reading / listening to it.
