About the Book

Victory or Death: I Guns N' Roses e il suono di Appetite For Destruction, opera prima dell'autore Simöne Gall, è un testo ossequiosamente incentrato sullo storico debutto realizzato dalla formazione classica dei Guns N' Roses, quella composta da W. Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff 'Rose' McKagan e Steven Adler.

Quando il 21 luglio del 1987 i Guns N' Roses consegnarono al mondo Appetite For Destruction, nessuno poteva prevedere che un disco così ruvido e brutale sarebbe arrivato a toccare livelli di popolarità così imponenti. Eppure, nonostante le sue quasi trenta milioni di copie, Appetite For Destruction resta, per molti versi, un disco per intenditori. Uno degli album più completi, oscuri e decadenti della storia della musica.

Oltre a riservare una particolare attenzione alla sua natura sonora, il testo si propone di indagare i retroscena di quello che può essere considerato, in un certo senso, il più grande debutto della storia del rock, la cui inviolabilità può essere accostata a quella di altri capolavori come Dark Side Of The Moon o Led Zeppelin IV. Il volume contiene una guida ai 20 dischi ideali post-Appetite, selezionati accuratamente dall'autore stesso.

"Avvalendosi di una indubitabile competenza, e forte di una corposa varietà di fonti principalmente internazionali, l'autore ricostruisce minuziosamente le vicende della band che sarebbe diventata i Guns N' Roses dagli inizi alla pubblicazione di 'Appetite for destruction' (21 luglio 1987), l'album di debutto della formazione. L'intento è sostenere la tesi che quello sia 'per molti versi il più grande debutto della storia del rock'; Gall lo persegue appassionatamente, e in maniera convincente anche per un non adepto quale sono io. Poi, certo, è il libro di un fan per i fan: quindi è estremamente dettagliato, approfondito, minuzioso, fitto di rimandi comprensibili solo da chi maneggi la materia. Ma non commette l'errore di dare le cose per scontate: le racconta, le motiva, le spiega, e così risulta leggibile anche da un 'non adepto'." (Franco Zanetti - Rockol)
