Download or read book Guns N Roses Trivia Book written by Dale Raynes and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of rock bands are wild. Many of them cultivate that sex, drugs, and rock and roll image. But Guns N' Roses is the real thing, so hedonistic and haunted by demons that they are ready to spin off the tracks at any given minute, as we will see. They did so. Repeatedly. Many of the questions and facts here will deal with their outrageous lifestyles and seemingly endless capacity for petty and profound feuds. The stories are jaw-dropping, and hopefully, you will enjoy every salacious detail. But let's not forget why we care in the first place: the amazing music. Sure, everyone appreciates Appetite for Destruction for what it is, the perfect debut album. But returning to their music today gives us a remarkable (though all too sparse) body of work. Patience is far more interesting than it seemed at the time. Use Your Illusion is not the bloated mess that critics made it out to be. It is a masterpiece. Even the troubled Chinese Democracy is far superior to what we had a right to expect. Guns N' Roses is a phenomenal band first-debauched train wreck second. We are excited that the boys are back together. While we wait for their next album, let's take a trip down memory lane. Do you know rock's ultimate bad boys? Let's see.

Rediscover your favourite music and memories, from punk to EDM, the Rolling Stones to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, pop videos to iconic festival headliners, with questions crossing multiple genres and decades. Sourced directly from the NME archive for added authority, the quizzes are supplemented with exclusive quotes and facts from the original magazine. An extract from the book: "We're at something of a watershed in pop history. There's never been so much music readily available, both ancient and cutting–edge modern, and we're consuming it in more ways than ever. But what place is there for albums in a world where fans can simply cherry–pick their favourite tunes and forget the rest? Is it simply the artists' love of the album that keeps it alive? And have we seen the last of the seismic currents that reshape pop into something strange and new? Some might say that new music is too heavily in debt to old music to be truly original: to paraphrase one of the Eighties' most endearing left–field acts, Did Pop Eat Itself? Whatever the truth, it seems like an excellent time to look back on the ground we've covered since rock'n'roll's infancy. From Christmas novelties to the blackest of metal, timeless soundtracks to music's on–off relationship with the Grim Reaper, this quiz book is a celebration of pop's diversity, eccentricity and downright oddness. Within these pages, you'll find brain–teasers on some 70 years of music–making, including sections on major artists and genres, best–selling releases, highly dubious rock–star behaviour, foot–in–mouth disease and the urban legends that we dearly hope are true. Hopefully, it'll feel like a good maze – offering easy progress one moment and head–scratching dead ends the next. So dive in! And if these 62 quizzes inspire you to broaden your own musical radar, all the better."
