Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan tells in his book not only about the typical temptations of a rock star—fast fame, big money, and drugs—but also about how he faced death head-on and managed to rise again from the ruins like a phoenix.
A multi-instrumentalist, Duff McKagan played drums and guitar in various groups in his hometown of Seattle. But he gained real fame as the bassist of Guns N’ Roses. The band’s album Appetite for Destruction became the best-selling debut collection in the history of rock music.
Duff was the youngest of eight children in a family where they saved on everything. From early on, he used drugs and alcohol, and dropped out of school at 18. It seemed like nothing good was in store for him. But Duff took control of fate. He turned out to be both very talented and extremely driven. Avoiding a tragic death from an overdose (McKagan drank ten bottles of wine a day!), he quit harmful habits, earned millions of dollars, bought a house, started a family, and after graduating from business school, founded his own consulting company in finance and investments. And, of course, he became a rock star.
In his autobiography, Duff tells all about this. Through his memories, we’ll see how the star of Guns N’ Roses rose, what the band members were like back then (including the legendary Slash), and how the hits that conquered the charts were written.
This is a book about pain and overcoming it. A book about the choices we make and the consequences they bring. A book about a person who challenged himself—and won.
