Query: Being from an insider, I expected more

The book deals way too much with the tabloid-y aspects of the band. Yes, we knew they were hardcore partiers, we knew they were into the booze and drugs. Yes, Cole was there so his perspective means something, but no real insight into the genius of the members, the stories relating how the songs came together, etc. What a shame. Cole could have had something special, but instead choose to over-emphasize the frat boy mentality of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll world.This book is no better that Stephen Davis' Hammer of the Gods.
