SOUND N' FURY : ROCK N' ROLL STORIES
Εκδότης Ecw Press , Κωδικός 040100093720
Most rock 'n' roll books are a bore. They all have the same narrative arc
and are aimed at the dwindling following that now follows an artist that
has long passed their AARP date.
SOUND N' FURY does not have a story arc. It is a collection of anecdotes,
like a record comprised of various tracks - each one has its point and
purpose. Alan Niven, who guided Guns N' Roses from the gutter of Los
Angeles to Wembley Stadium, shares stories from his remarkable life as
a manager with an immediacy delivered by an extraordinary recall of
dialogue. Readers will encounter not just Guns N' Roses (who have sold
almost 10 million tickets to their shows) but The Rolling Stones,
Aerosmith, Clarence Clemons, Whitesnake, Elton John, and others who
came from humble origins and experienced fame known only to few.
Small-town minds collided with worldwide adulation, expectations, and
demands. The results are amusing, affirming, and, predictably,
disastrous. Keep in mind that rock 'n' roll is God's occupation for the
unemployable.
Written with a crisp and fluid style, the magnificence and idiocy of the
music world will dance off the pages and engross even those who are not
rock fans.
