'Last Of the Giants is the mad, funny, dark and often painful story
of a lost band from a now-distant time' CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE
INCLUDES BRAND NEW CHAPTER COVERING GUNS N' ROSES EPIC WORLD TOUR
'Any story about Guns is worth reading. But when the author is Mick
Wall it's absolutely essential' KERRANG Many millions of words have
already been written about Guns N' Roses, the old line-up, the new
line-up. But none of them have ever really gotten to the truth.
Which is this: Guns N' Roses has always been a band out of time,
the Last of the Giants. They are what every rock band since the
Rolling Stones has tried and nearly always failed to be: dangerous.
At a time when smiling, MTV-friendly, safe-sex, just-say-no Bon
Jovi was the biggest band in the world, here was a band that seemed
to have leapt straight out of the coke-smothered pages of the
original, golden-age, late-sixties rock scene. 'Live like a
suicide', the band used to say when they all lived together in the
Hell House, their notorious LA home. And this is where Mick Wall
first met them, and became part of their inner circle, before
famously being denounced by name by Axl Rose in the song 'Get in
the Ring'. But this book isn't about settling old scores. Written
with the clear head that 25 years later brings you, this is a
celebration of Guns N' Roses the band, and of Axl Rose the frontman
who really is that thing we so desperately want him to be: the last
of the truly extraordinary, all-time great, no apologies, no
explanations, no giving-a-shit rock stars. The last of his kind.
