  In the late Eighties, Guns 'n' Roses were the biggest, baddest, band on the planet, a rock 'n' roll juggernaut that played era-defining songs like Sweet Child 'O Mine and Welcome to the Jungle to packed stadiums around the globe. They were a band so utterly convinced of their own greatness that they released not one, but two double albums on a single morning. But their excess was not just a feature of their recording career. Their offstage antics were legendary. Spleen bursting quantities of drugs and booze fuelled a rapacious appetite for groupies and bad behaviour. They learnt from the debauchery of the seventies and they topped it. And in the end it all crashed down in flames. Now Steven Davis, author of the classic rock bestseller Hammer of the Gods , his biography of Led Zeppelin is telling the whole story for the first time. Years of research and exclusive interviews make this the definitive story of the one of the greatest rock bands the world has ever seen.

But the band's complete story has never been fully told - until now. In his sixth major rock biography, Stephen Davis - author of the legendary Hammer of the Gods - details the riveting story of a band that originated in the gutters of Sunset Strip and went on to become the biggest, baddest band on the planet.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. In Watch You Bleed , for the first time, millions of Guns N' Roses fans will learn the whole truth - sometime funny, sometimes tragic - about the last of the great rock bands.
