GUNS N’ ROSES First Manager Vicky Hamilton Says She Can Reunite Original Lineup – “I Sometimes Think That If I Had Axl And Slash In A Room Together That I Could Fix It”

The former manager of Guns N’ Roses has lifted the lid off life with one of the world’s most notorious rock bands – revealing how she once had to harbour a fugitive Axl Rose on her sofa as he hid from cops over an alleged rape charge.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.co.uk, Vicky Hamilton tells of the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll-fueled debauchery she witnessed – including how she had to stop volatile frontman Axl from ‘killing’ drummer Steven Adler just a day before a huge showcase event which would help catapult the rock band to stardom.

Almost three decades after Guns N’ Roses conquered the world with their rock anthems, Vicky has penned an as-yet published book chronicling her journey from small town Indiana to the burgeoning hair metal music scene of Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip. She details how she rose from cocktail waitress to become the manager of Guns N’ Roses in just a few years.

Vicky said she would love to be able to bury the hatchet with the rock star and also believes she could be the key to mending the long running feud between Axl and Slash, and getting the original line up of Guns N’ Roses back together.

“We shared so much history it would be nice to be able talk to him and give him a hug and say it’s all good,” she said. “I sometimes think that if I had Axl and Slash in a room together that I could fix it. There’s a difference in how you deal with people when you grow up together with them. They know I love them for who they are. I loved them when they were nobody. I didn’t have an ulterior motive other than to help them be as good as they can be and I think I was successful in that. I saved them from making major mistakes.”

Vicky Hamilton is set to release her memoir, entitled Appetite For Dysfunction. Various crowd-funding options are available at this location.

Says Vicky, “I have been writing this book for seven years. While I was living it, I was as high as the bands I was working with. So in recounting the stories and going through the pictures I really thought about what I was saying and feeling about these experiences and was really wanting to bring my true story of the 80’s music scene to the page. I feel I have accomplished my goal.

Though I have had a very rich rock experience, I didn’t make the money I would have liked, so I have chosen PubSlush to help me raise the money needed to put the finishing touches on the book.

I have finished writing the book, but it needs a professional edit, the book needs to be laid out by a professional. I need to pick the pictures, pay photographers for their usage and make sure everything is nice and legal. I want to pay artist Maxine Miller to do a painting for the cover art. Once the package is complete, then I need to print the books.

Once the book is in print and ready for sale as an ebook, I want to promote the book through social media channels and hire a PR firm. I would love to do book signings and readings around the world.

So that’s my plan… I hope you will consider helping me and I THANK YOU  in advance for your support. I hope you enjoy my book!”
