By Ramiro on September 24, 2011
Appetite for Destruction is still one of the greatest rock albums of all time and one of the most innovating debut albums to ever be released. This book illustrates the band's recording over that album and the band at their peek of their career upon recording what has been known to be 80s metal best album to have ever seen the light of day. I highly recommend this to fans of Guns N Roses and the album in general, it's a great read overall.
