'This could be heaven or this could be hell...'So sings Don Henley on their biggest hit, 'Hotel California', yet for The Eagles their story was one where the dividing line between ultimate Hollywood highs and subterranean LA lows was blurred beyond recognition, blinded by white-powdered double-visions and buried beneath greenback mountains. The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in the road behind them. The story of The Eagles is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private.Now, for the first time, esteemed music biographer Mick Wall will provide the definitive insight into America's best-selling band of all time, a band who have sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined, exploring their meteoric rise to fame, and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the world.

"Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people. But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play. Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways, and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock. And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death. Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon."--Publisher's description

Guns N’ Roses zawsze żyli w bezczasie, byli „ostatnimi z gigantów”. Nawet w latach osiemdziesiątych, kiedy dopiero zaczynali i byli wytatuowanymi, spiętymi gołodupcami z LA, nie chcieli grać według zasad. W czasach gdy rządził pogodny, promujący bezpieczny seks i sprzeciwiający się narkotykom... číst celé

In this candid, intimate and definitive biography of rock's larger-than-life legend, the extraordinary story of Meat Loaf is brought up to date by international bestselling author Mick Wall.'A passionate, pacey tome you should do anything for a copy of' KERRANG

Im Original Lineup wiedervereint, füllen Guns N´Roses erneut Stadien, 30 Jahre nach ihrem Debütalbum „Appetite for Destruction", das als Meilenstein in die Musikgeschichte eingegangen ist. Guns N' Roses sind, was jede Rock Band seit den Rolling Stones versucht haben zu sein: Gefährlich! Sie explodierten aus der 80er Glam Rock Szene und defi nierten eine neue Ära des Rock N' Roll. Mick Wall traf Guns N' Roses, als die Band im berühmt-berüchtigten „Hell House" zusammenlebte und wurde Teil des inneren Zirkels. Dank seiner langjährigen Freundschaft und Verbindung zu Guns N' Roses, konnte er exklusive Interviews mit allen Originalmitgliedern führen. Außerdem gelang es ihm, mit den ersten Managern der Band zu sprechen, die in der wilden Zeit von 1986 - 2004 für die Belange der Band verantwortlich waren. Sie alle trugen neue Enthüllungen und interessante Geschichten aus dem Studio, auf Tour und hinter den Kulissen bei. „Last of the Giants" ist eine Hommage an Guns N' Roses: Die letzten Rock Stars einer Zeit, die geprägt war von wilden Exzessen und einer „not-giving-a-shit"-Attitüde.
