It's So Easy: and other lies

It's So Easy: and other lies

A founding member of Guns Nâ€™ Roses and Velvet Revolverâ€”and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducteeâ€”shares the story of his rise to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, his personal crash and burn, and his phoenix-like transformation.

In 1984, at the age of twenty, Duff McKagan left his native Seattleâ€”partly to pursue music but mainly to get away from a host of heroin overdoses then decimating his closest group of friends in the local punk scene. In L.A. only a few weeks and still living in his car, he answered a want ad for a bass player placed by someone who identified himself only as â€œSlash.â€ Soon after, the most dangerous band in the world was born. Guns Nâ€™ Roses went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide.

In Itâ€™s So Easy, Duff recounts Gunsâ€™ unlikely trajectory to a string of multiplatinum albums, sold-out stadium concerts, and global acclaim. But that kind of glory can take its toll, and it didâ€”ultimatelyâ€”on Duff, as well as on the band itself. As Guns began to splinter, Duff felt that he himself was done, too. But his near death as a direct result of alcoholism proved to be his watershed, the turning point that sent him on a unique path to sobriety and the unexpected choices he has made for himself since.

In a voice that is as honest as it is indelibly his own, Duffâ€”one of rockâ€™s smartest and most articulate personalitiesâ€”takes readers on a harrowing journey through the dark heart of one of the most notorious bands in rock-and-roll history and out the other side.
