New Products, Improved Website...

Today is the official launch of our newest Reckless Road product line: Exclusive Collectible Prints.

We are making available some of the best and historically relevant photographs from Reckless Road to collect and display. This collection represents important milestones in the band's history, including the first time the Appetite for Destruction line-up played together at the Troubadour in 1985 and several from the first time that legendary Appetite songs, like Sweet Child O' Mine, were ever played.

If you like the images from the book, these 11'' x 17'' will blow you away. They are printed on Enhanced Matte Paper, a bright white paper that is perfect for images that do not require gloss. The images are highly saturated and maintain excellent highlight and shadow detail. These images were digitized directly from Marc Canter's and Jack Lue's negatives from the mid-80's, then cleaned up and color corrected. They look beautiful.

The prints are available for an introductory price of $14.95 each, plus s&h. Don't forget about our book/print promotion as well - buy the book and get a special Limited Edition print free.

The official Reckless Road website is the only place to get them. Email us to let us know what you think.

Slash and Reckless Road Cast of Characters @Guitar Center for Sessions and Reckless Road book signing event


Well, our scrappy team pulled it off! This event started with a casual conversation with Dave Weiderman of the Hollywood Guitar Center who thought it would be cool to combine a Reckless Road launch party with a Sessions event. And he was right.

Guitar Center has gone above and beyond to make this Sessions event and the RR book signing the biggest one they've hosted. Moving the event from the Hollywood store to the Northridge store was a necessity due to the huge turnout we expect. Instead of waiting in a line in the summer heat during rush hour on Sunset Blvd hoping some security guy will let you in, the event has been moved outside, in a parking lot with huge hi-def screens so that everyone will be in on Slash's performance. Pre-show, there will be live music and a Guitar Center tent where you can purchase your copy of Reckless Road. Slash will be on hand to sign books after the show.

The outdoor lot can easily accommodate 2,000 or more, so don't be shy...come to the valley... and... remember... hydrate!

We have many special guests coming...think "Cast of Characters" from the book. Just to name a few... Duff McKagan, Steven Adler (if he can get out of rehab), Mike Clink, Tom Zutaut, Adriana "Rocket Queen" Durgan and more.

Marc Canter will be there. Be sure to thank him for the great work he did to put this book together.

If you want your book signed by Slash, we suggest picking up a copy at the event. Guitar Center will be selling copies at the event site and only people who have a book will be allowed inside for the signing. There will only be a few hundred copies available, so with an expected turnout of 1,500+, plan on getting there early to pick up your copy.

See you there!

The Reckless Road Team
