Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki

Celebrate four exhilarating and rebellious decades of Guns N’ Roses with this lushly illustrated journey through the band’s biggest moments.

Formed on Los Angeles’ famed Sunset Strip in 1985, Guns N’ Roses worked their way up from the club scene in less than three years to become a best-selling recording act and a top tour draw. Along the way, there was no shortage of controversy to accompany the accolades. In Guns N’ Roses at 40, prolific rock biographer Martin Popoff curates 40 key touchstones in GN’R’s career, charting their formation and early history, key concert appearances, groundbreaking releases, notable collaborations, business challenges, personal difficulties, band quarrels, and more. This beautifully produced tribute features:

  • Stunning photography, both on and off the stage
  • Images of band memorabilia
  • Guns N’ Roses timeline
  • Complete studio discography

Popoff covers it all:

  • A history of the band’s scruffy early days on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip club scene
  • Backgrounds of founding members Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, and Steven Adler
  • Rundowns of the key studio albums and the processes behind them
  • Analyses of the infamous incidents and controversies that seemed to follow the band
  • The departures (and sometimes the returns) of key members
  • First-person interviews with bassists Duff McKagan and Tommy Stinson

In examining 40 key pivot points in GN’R’s now-forty-year history, Guns N’ Roses at 40 provides a concise documentary-like view of the band that as much as any other helped drive a spike through the heart of hair metal. Combine this unique perspective with a gorgeous package and you have an indispensable addition to the collection of every fan.
