Goodbye Guns N' Roses : The Crime, Beauty, and Amplified Chaos of America's Most Polarizing Band
Guns N' Roses - Book - by Art Tavana
(2021)
Goodbye, Guns N Roses is a genre-rattling attempt to explain the appeal of Americas most divisive rock band. While it includes uncharted history and the self-lacerating connoisseurship of a Guns N Roses fetishist, it is not a recycled chronicle this book is a deconstruction of myth, one that blends high and low art sketches to examine how Guns N Roses impacted popular culture. Unlike those who have penned other treatments of what might be considered a clichéd subject, Art Tavana is not writing as a GNR patriot or former employee. His book aims to provide an untethered exploration that machetes through the jungle of propaganda camouflaging GNRs explosive appeal.
After circling the bands three-decade plundering of American culture, Goodbye, Guns N Roses uncovers a postmodern portrait that persuades its viewer to think differently about their symbolic importance. This is not a rock bio but a biography of taste that treats a former hair metal band like a decomposing masterpiece. This is the first Guns N Roses book written for everyone; from the Sunset Strip to a hyper-digital generations connection to Woke Axl, it is a pop investigation that dodges no bullets.
