Mike Ladano, from Grab A Stack of Rock, and I had a chance to sit down with former Guns ‘N Roses and Great White Manager, Alan Niven to discuss his upcoming book. ‘Sound N’ Fury: Rock & Roll Stories’ will be out on June 24th so go pre-order your copy now at any fine bookstore. Appetite for Destruction! Once Bitten! Twice Shy! This is the guy who made Guns N’ Roses into superstars, and gave Great White their big second chance.
Alan talks about the great stories in his book. So many Axl Rose stories, Slash and Izzy as well as some great stories on Great White. We even talk Shakespeare, sending the cops to get a band member to a show, the art of saying yes, Def Leppard is a boy band, Bon Jovi is cliche and the fact there are only 7 songs you can write plus a whole lot more. We got to spend an hour with him, so get ready as the interview IS UP RIGHT NOW!!! (Monday, June 2, 2025 at 7PM) on Youtube. Get ready as Alan unleashes the Sound N’ Fury and it will also put everything I said above in context.

Cool interview.
As an Aussie, I liked how the Angels/Face The Day connection was mentioned.

Is your copy of Shot in the Dark on vinyl back there a Capitol Records version or the original independent Telegraph release with the different versions of “Shake Me” and “Run Away?”

Nice! I have that version too. Great interview by the way. Your skills as an orator match your iridescently handsome sexuality, and tonsorial shine.
