...and other lies is the title of my second favorite rock biography so far (Ozzy is still on the first place ;). Duff McKagan is definitely a rock star, but he also seems to be a very good writer. After finishing this book I was wondering, how is it possible, that so many stories about his early life, G'n'R era, his personal transformation and family could be told in such short biography. Well, there is no beating about the bush. Merciless truth about the real rock'n'roll life in the 80's and 90's wont let you feel bored while reading this book.
But what fascinates me the most is how incredibly intelligent Duff is. His willingness to educate, to help the others (e.g. Scott Weiland), to have a normal family and to leave all drugs an alcohol problems behind makes this book a very good story told by a very honest and mature guy.
