Search review text. Displaying 1 - 10 of 10 reviews. Welcome to the photographic Jungle, fans of GNR allover the world! This visually arresting coffee table book is certainly raw, boisterous and unique, exactly like our beloved group. Filled with photos that once adorned countless of teenage bedrooms -and probably still do- and many little gems that you surely won't find anywhere else this is the book for every GNR fan.

It's actually so good that i had a pretty a hard time selecting the photos to use in this review. So why 4,5 stars and not 5? Simply because the photos were haphazardly arranged and the captions were too generic and lacking of any character. Of course i enjoyed it immensely so i'm not really complaining. Note: The forward is written by Axl Rose.

This has been one of my coffee table books for years! Oh Oh Oh.. What is that you want? This book has it all. Brilliant compilation of GN'R in their glory days. You know you're a fan when this becomes a part of the basic things you pack when moving.. Indah Threez Lestari.
