Guns N' Roses old drummer, Steven Adler, has published a new book called "My Appetite for Destruction: Sex, and Drugs, and Guns N’ Roses". The book serves as an autobiography and to a degree, a memoir of Adler's time with the band Guns N' Roses.
The book provides readers with a behind-the-scenes look at the early days of the band, and leads them through the final seperation of the most successful band. While Guns N' Roses has continued on and still exists today, it's under front man Axl Rose only.
In his new book, Adler also discusses a lot of his own demons, including tendencies of drug use, abuse and self-destruction - all of which began at a very young age.
Steven Adler served as the band's drummer from 1985 to 1990.
