A big, brash history of Guns n' Roses charismatic, talented and idiosyncratic leader

An archetypal rock biography that captures the runaway-train spirit of the singer and his band--You don't have to be a Guns N' Roses fanatic to dig this energetic, comprehensive, few-holds-barred portrait of modern metal's most charismatic figure.--Kirkus Reviews

Even in the rock world, a figure like Axl Rose doesn't come along very often. Mercurial and brilliant, deluded and imperious, Rose defies easy description. W.A.R. reveals Rose's childhood influences (and how he got his name), tracks the birth of G n' R and delves into the stories behind their monster albums Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion. But with those successes came excesses--drugs, infighting and a lead singer who morphed from eccentric to seemingly unhinged.

Journalist Mick Wall had unprecedented access to Rose and G n' R during their heyday and gives a more richly detailed portrait of the band than you've ever read before. W.A.R. has fresh views on:

--the death of two fans at the Donington Park concert in England

--Rose's fallout with all the other original G n' R band members, including Slash

--fights with Kurt Cobain, Vince Neil and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger

--Rose's no-shows at concerts throughout his career

--the lead singer's becoming a recluse at his Malibu mansion for most of the last fifteen years

--the much-gossiped-about and long-awaited album Chinese Democracy

Works perfectly with FireTv!
Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar
Plug and play with a smallish FireTv in a bedroom. Sounds great and works seamlessly with a FireTv remote using the included HDMI/arc cable. Exactly what I needed at a great price.

Good soundbar for a bedroom
Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar
I own a Fire TV (not the stick) and kept having volume issues on everything so finally picked up this sound bar by Amazon. It's an excellent value for the price on Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Football games, TV shows, Netflix movies &, Amazon prime now sound clear and good and the movies get brought to life with bass. Just don't expect the movie experience to be like your media room or main TV where you have a proper audio setup. This is meant for a bedroom not a family room. When doing setup be sure to select eArch in the FireTV audio settings I found if you leave it set as AUTO the SoundBar tends not to automatical turn off. Pros: Setup is simple and takes five minutes or less (unless ur doing a wall mount). Mine is setting on a TV cabinet. The original FireTV remote works with out needing to switch to the one that is in the box (unless want to change the EQ settings). Came with an HDMI cable as most sound bars by the bigger brands do not include one. Sound quality is impressive along with the bass (I haven't changed any settings).. I do car audio installations I was impressed by the bass as to no subwoofer. It's not going to rock the room but for a bedroom it provides enough. If you expected to shake the room then you need the Amazon 3.1 soundbar which is made for a family room. Bluetooth audio also sounds great when connected to a mobile phone as the source. Cons: Seems a few times the volume settings has a lag when you increase or decrease the volume by a few seconds. Final impression: I found it to be a good purchase with good sound quality.

A Solid Entry-Level Option!
Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar, Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar
The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar offers a decent audio upgrade for those looking to improve their TV's built-in sound without breaking the bank. Dolby Audio, along with the convenience of Fire TV integration. However, it's important to have realistic expectations given its price point. What's Good: Easy Setup: Connecting the soundbar is a breeze, especially if you already have a Fire TV device. The setup process is guided and intuitive. Fire TV Integration: This is a major selling point. Seamlessly controlling the soundbar with your Fire TV remote is incredibly convenient. No juggling multiple remotes! Improved Sound over TV Speakers: The soundbar definitely provides a noticeable improvement in clarity and depth compared to most television speakers. Dialogue is clearer, and the overall soundstage is wider. Compact Size: The soundbar's slim profile fits nicely under most TVs without being intrusive. Affordable Price: This is a budget-friendly option for those wanting better sound without a huge investment. Bluetooth Connectivity: The ability to stream music wirelessly from your phone or other Bluetooth devices is a welcome addition. What's Not So Good: Limited Bass: Being a 2.0 system, the bass response is somewhat lacking. While it adds some low-end presence, it won't satisfy those looking for deep, rumbling bass for action movies or music. Consider a subwoofer if bass is a priority. Virtual Surround Sound: While DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio are present, the simulated surround sound effect is subtle. Don't expect a truly immersive experience. It provides a slightly wider soundstage, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated surround sound system. Sound Quality Could Be Better: While better than TV speakers, the overall sound quality is adequate, not exceptional. The mid-range can sometimes sound a bit muddy. Limited Connectivity: The soundbar primarily focuses on Fire TV integration. While it has Bluetooth, it lacks other input options like HDMI ARC, which could limit its versatility. Overall: The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is a good entry-level soundbar for those primarily focused on improving the audio from their Fire TV and who are on a budget. The seamless Fire TV integration and improved dialogue clarity are its strongest points. However, if you're a serious audiophile or crave powerful bass, you'll likely need to spend more for a higher-end system. This soundbar is best suited for casual viewers who want a simple and affordable upgrade to their TV's built-in speakers.
