Sales and Market Bullets PEACOCK SERIES: With a remarkable recall of dialogue that immerses readers in the action, Niven stands out as the sole personality featured in every episode of Paramount Plus's Nothing But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of 80s Hair Metal INSIDER'S FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES: Forty irresistible anecdotes of musical mastery and mayhem. Niven takes readers through his sometimes-torrid tales as though they were listening to an album from start to finish. These stories reveal what it's really like to be a rock music manager and live the apex rock 'n' roll life. THE BIGGEST NAMES IN ROCK: Niven's intimate accounts of some of rock 'n' roll's most tumultuous times with bands like Guns N' Roses, Berlin, The Angels, Great White, Dokken, and Mötley Crüe are unforgettable. Countless other musical powerhouses are featured throughout the book as well, including The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Cardinal Black, Clarence Clemons, Whitesnake, Scorpions, and Judas Priest. ORIGINAL MANAGER OF GUNS N' ROSES: Niven was with the band from 1986 to 1991 and worked with them on their seminal records Appetite for Destruction , Lies , and Use Your Illusion . He took a band deemed "unmanageable" from the gutter of Los Angeles to Wembley Stadium. Dismissed by Axl Rose against the wishes of the other bandmates, he went on to produce and compose much of Great White's successful material, resulting in the sale of 10 million albums.
THE CENTER OF THE ACTION: His riveting stories prove that truth is stranger than fiction -- like the time Niven had to hire the police to ensure a reluctant Axl Rose even made it to the venue to open for The Rolling Stones. His remarkable recall of dialogue puts the reader in the center of the action. Adept with a pen as much as with a guitar, Niven has been a contributing writer to Classic Rock.
