Last of the Giants: The True Story of Guns N' Roses

“Mick is able to weave together what can only be referred to as the most complete and accurate portrait on the band ever published. Yes it is THAT good and that well researched! . . . Thorough research and eloquent writing is a beautiful union and Wall’s successful deployment of both, coupled with the fact that he is writing about one of the most incendiary rock bands of the past thirty years, makes for an absolutely enthralling read from beginning to end. . . . Last of the Giants: The True Story of Guns N’ Roses takes you on a journey where you can not only live vicariously through their sordid exploits, but you can also get some invaluable insight into what made this band an absolute rarity.” ―Classic Rock Revisited

"Any story about Guns is worth reading. But when the author is Mick Wall it's absolutely essential.―Kerrang!

Guns N' Roses is what every rock band since the Rolling Stones has tried to be: dangerous. They exploded of the 1980s glam metal scene and boldly redefined rock 'n' roll for a new era.

Author Mick Wall met Guns N' Roses when the band's members lived together at the infamous "Hell House" in Los Angeles and became a part of their inner circle. Thanks to Wall's longtime friendship and connection with Guns N' Roses, he conducted exclusive interviews with all the original members and, for the first time, their original managers, who were down in the trenches with the band from 1986 to 2004. They share all-new revelations about the band's rockstar debauchery in the studio, on tour, and behind the scenes.

Last of the Giants is a celebration of Guns N' Roses: the last of the extraordinary, excessive, not-giving-a-shit rock stars.

Mick Wall is the UK's best-known rock writer. He is the author of W.A.R.: The Unauthorized Biography of William Axl Rose, When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin, and Enter Night: A Biography of Metallica.
