I am a massive Guns N’ Roses fan. Seriously, its almost becoming a problem. I listen to Appetite For Destruction almost every day. It never gets old. I even went as Slash for Halloween, but I got super wasted and lost my top hat. Slash would have been so bummed on me. (Sorry, Slash.) So, when I read Slash’s book, I came across Marc Canter’s book Reckless Road. It’s the best documentation of a band’s early days I have ever seen. Marc grew up with Slash and documented all of his bands until Guns N’ Roses and shot of all their Club Shows in Hollywood and the Sunset Strip in the ’80s. It’s basically the closest you’ll ever get to seeing one of those shows if you weren’t there. There’s even an online part of the book, which you can access once you purchase it, where you can hear audio from the shows and some interviews, too. Not to mention prints of some of the best pictures.

Marc Canter is one of the coolest guys I’ve met in LA so far, and he even gave me a sandwich at his family’s famous deli on Fairfax, Canter’s Deli, which also has a huge rock and roll history. I’m really, really happy with this interview and stoked that Marc wanted to participate. To me, it doesn’t get much cooler than this.

Get your copy of the book now: at the deli, or at http://www.recklessroad.com. Fucking do it!
