2026 Revised Edition eBook

During a family trip to Hawaii, fifteen-year-old Raz Cue suffered a life-altering spinal injury while diving into a shallow swimming pool. This is the story of Cue learning to thrive despite a life sentence of wheelchairs and paralysis.  A fat settlement check four years after his injury led Cue into the music business when he bankrolled his high school friends’ band, L.A. Guns.

Then in 1985, Guns N’ Roses formed in Raz Cue’s living room. And thus, Cue became the band’s first manager. It was a brief gig for Cue, but there were absolutely no hard feelings caused by the split. Mr. Cue remained a trusted member of G N’ R’s inner circle for the remainder of the decade, allowing him to witness the iconic band tour the world’s stages as they rose to the pinnacle of rock ‘n’ roll.

With good times and fun stories constantly swirling about in his mind’s eye, Mr. Cue resolved to set the standard for which all future memoirs should be judged. Four hundred and twenty drafts later, the product of that quest emerged: The Days of Guns & Raz’s. If you’ve longed for a highly accurate, satirical, blue-collar rock bio that delivers a stinging bitch slap to our current insanity-level political correctness, The Days of Guns & Raz’s is for you!
