Guns N' Roses ex-manager reveals what the 'nightmare' rock 'n' roll band were REALLY like as he exposes antics


Alan Niven, the former manager of Guns N' Roses, is pulling back the curtain on his time with one of rock's most infamous bands in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com

The New Zealand-born mega-producer, songwriter, and manager — who's also worked with the likes of Great White, Dokken, Berlin, and Mötley Crüe — is detailing the wild ride in his upcoming book Sound N’ Fury: Rock N’ Roll Stories, out August 5. Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com ahead of the release, Niven recalled how he turned down the job three times before finally agreeing to manage the band—whose unhinged reputation was already well-established long before their 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction hit shelves. The band’s present-day roster includes Rose, Slash, McKagan, Richard Fortus on guitar, Isaac Carpenter on drums, and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese.
