GUNS N' PROSES Slash's memoir riffs on his wild drug years, and comes clean on what ripped apart his band

Slash chronicles the rise and fall (and rise, and fall, and — look, he did a lot of heroin, okay?) of the Guns N' Roses guitarist.

Surprise Revelation Axl Rose? Billy Joel fan! (On meeting a ''very, very drunk'' Joel, Slash says: ''I had no idea that he was such a f---up, and I loved it.'')

Lowdown Too much time is spent reliving the days of getting high and crashing through plate-glass windows, but Slash is wonderfully frank about the factors (Axl, heroin) that led to Guns' implosion. B
