Erin Broadley: Slash and Marc Canter on Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction

Cool interview. Sounds like an interesting book.

Great job Erin.....I just finished Slash's book and am looking forward to RR.

Excellent interview.

Guns n Roses reinvigorated my love for hard rock music (and music in general) when I first became aware of them. And, I've never looked back. I was 18 the first time I heard "Welcome to the Jungle" and I went over the moon for them. I was lucky enough to see them three times during their peak. They were a breath of fresh air in a stagnant musical scene. My generation's Sex Pistols, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It was a special time and I'm glad I got to experience a little piece of it.

I was in L.A. earlier this month and I went to Canter's Deli at 4 a.m. before I left town. And, I noticed Reckless Road was on the counter and I couldn't stop looking through it... all those old photos from the early days. As corny as this sounds it almost brought a tear to my eye. Old memories of a wild-eyed teenager in love with his favorite band that have now become legends came flooding back to me.

After my six hour drive back home to Northern California. I got online and ordered Reckless Road. Slash is right... it is the best rock n roll coffee table book ever. Thank you Marc Canter for capturing a moment in time that will never be duplicated.

And, thank you Erin for an excellent interview. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Great interview. I'm definitely going to have to check out that book.

Awesome interview. I'll be picking the book up.

WOW...Another KILLER interview by Erin...Slash is the coolest. Can't wait to read Canter's book. Oh yeah and Erin..I've said it before and I'll say it again...YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF ROCK...what an awesome interview!

I remember when appetite for destruction came out ,it was like a shotgun blast to the face.

the record still holds up 20yrs later.
nice job on the inteview.

cool one

Just another lame-ass Sunset strip hard rock/heavy metal band. Pretentious crap with a midwestern white trash singer. Give me something that will stand the test of time.

I don't get this. It's not like I am a big fan of the band, but what is the point of coming in to the thread just to bash them? Aren't there plenty of other places to spew negativity & bile?

I still think this is a pretty cool interview.

Will have to watch the videos later but I read the whole text here. GREAT interview, Erin!
