"In his New York Times bestseller, Duff McKagan, founding member of Guns N&#8217; Roses and Velvet Revolver, shares the story of his rise to fame and fortune, his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, his personal crash and burn, and his life-saving transformation via a unique path to sobriety.In 1984, at the age of twenty, Duff McKagan left his native Seattle&#8212;partly to pursue music but mainly to get away from a host of heroin overdoses then decimating his closest group of friends in the local punk scene. In LA only a few weeks and still living in his car, he answered a want ad for a bass player placed by someone who identified himself only as &#8220;Slash.&#8221; Soon after, the most dangerous band in the world was born. Guns N&#8217; Roses went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide.  In It&#8217;s So Easy, Duff recounts Guns&#8217; unlikely trajectory to a string of multiplatinum albums, sold-out stadium concerts, and global acclaim. But that kind of glory can take its toll, and it did&#8212;ultimately&#8212;on Duff, as well as on the band itself. As Guns began to splinter, Duff felt that he himself was done, too. But his near death as a direct result of alcoholism proved to be his watershed, the turning point that sent him on a unique path to sobriety and the unexpected choices he has made for himself since.  In a voice that is as honest as it is indelibly his own, Duff&#8212;one of rock&#8217;s smartest and most articulate personalities&#8212;takes readers on a harrowing journey through the dark heart of one of the most notorious bands in rock-and-roll history and out the other side."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
