- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5At times the pants looked a little tight but the pictures are truly gorgeous; the guys looked like they had a lot of fun over the years. Some real nice guitars in here as well. My favourite band! Rock on!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It would have been nice to see a bit more from each band member, but that said, it is a photography book.
Serious fans will keep anyone with grubby mitts away from the pages, and keep it as a lovely coffee table book.
