Watch you bleed

From the New York Times bestselling author, the complete story of the last rock supergroup— from their drugfueled blast-off in the 1980s to the turbulent life of legendary singer Axl Rose and his fifteen-year, multi-million dollar effort to make the perfect hardrock album.With 90 million of the band’s records sold worldwide since 1987, Guns N’ Roses prolonged rock music past its sell-by date with controversial albums and immense, often riotous world tours. But the band’s complete story has never been fully told—until now. In his sixth major rock biography, Stephen Davis details the riveting story of a band that originated in the gutters of Sunset Strip and went on to set attendance records on the biggest stadiums on the planet.Watch You Bleed documents the improbable story of W. Axl Rose, the biggest rock star of his generation. Taken from an abusive father in his infancy, he was raised as “Bill Bailey” in a strictly religious Indiana household by a stepfather who beat him for playing Led Zeppelin songs on the family piano. After quitting high school, and on the run from the police in his hometown, Axl arrived in Los Angeles in the midst of the street battles for supremacy among the top music genres of the eighties—post-punk, thrash, hair metal, and glam. The book also charts the backgrounds of every band member, especially Slash, a Hollywood street kid whose designer mother dated David Bowie.Davis brilliantly captures the birth of Guns’ raw power, which—despite rape charges, drug-induced rampages, and a general appetite for destruction— launched the band into the pantheon of rock gods such as Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. With a wealth of detail, Davis looks at Axl’s unrelenting quest to release the long-awaited, mystery-shrouded Chinese Democracy album, as well as the further adventures of some of the Gunners under the banner of the hard-rocking band Velvet Revolver. For the first time, millions of Guns N’ Roses fans will learn the whole truth—sometimes funny, sometimes tragic—about the last of the great rock bands.

His many rock biographies include, most recently, Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend (Gotham Books, 2004) and the New York Times bestsellers Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith and Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga.

The Great Aussie Bloke's cookbook

According to Kim Terakes, when it comes to cooking, the needs of the Great Aussie Bloke are simple. He wants food that tastes great, makes him look good and doesn't take all day and numerous trips to the shops to prepare.
With over 120 tried-and-true recipes, this is a book for every man at every stage of this life: the 20-year-old who's just left home; the family man whose wife is busy running a small nation; the divorcee whose spare cash is going in maintenance; or the sports fiend wanting to feed his mates while watching a Significant Sporting Events on the telling.
Kim takes us on a whirlwind tour around the kitchen. We start with the basics - survival food for home-leavers, comfort food for hangovers, quick and tasty numbers for school nights - before moving on to the sort of sophisticated offerings (think souffles and beef fillet) that will impress Aunty Mavis as much as they will the gorgeous girl from Accounts who amazingly agreed to a date. Other useful tips include how to use a knife without ending up in Emergency, the rules of matching food with wines (there are none) and reasons to avoid tablecloths.
Beautifully photographed and written with wit, warmth and the odd tasteless quip, this book will help you, or the man in your life, experience the fun and adventure of cooking and the pleasure of serving good food for others to enjoy.
