In May, the publishing house Sidgwick & Jackson will publish "Axl Rose - The Unauthorized Biography", written by longtime rock journalist Mick Wall.

Mick Wall's unauthorized GN'R biography, "Guns N Roses: The Most Dangerous Band In The World", first published in 1991 incensed Axl Rose so much, that he wrote a song, dedicated to Wall, "Get In The Ring" –  filled with curses and insults.

The official book description reads as follows:
"Axl Rose is one of rock's most colorful figures and yet his story has never been properly told until now. Mick Wall knew the original line up of GUNS N' ROSES before they were famous and has interviewed them many times. Drawing on exclusive unpublished material, he has written a no-holds-barred study of the troubled life and turbulent career of the group's singer and leader.

Wall recently wrote an article about GUNS N' ROSES' long-awaited new album, "Chinese Democracy", for the U.K.'s The Mail, stating, in part, "The last time I actually saw Rose, though, was when he and three menacing 'cohorts' cornered me in a Los Angeles bar and threatened to murder me if I went ahead with a planned book on his band. 'If I see anything with my name on it, I promise you this,' he said, pausing for effect while peering at me through his long red hair, 'I will track you down, and I will kill you.'
"Of course, I went ahead with my book. By then, Rose threatening people with violence was a fairly regular scenario.
