Don't Try This at Home by Dave Navarro

One day, Dave Navarro decided to open the doors of his house in the Hollywood hills to the chaos of the valley below. The only rule was, "You come in the house, you get in the photo booth." The result is a diary, a sociology experiment, a documentary of Hollywood, and an exercise in exhibitionism: strippers, Kurt Loder, Marilyn Manson, pizza delivery boys, Rose McGowan, Keanu Reeves, record executives, Scott Ian, Billy Corgan, hookers, Flea, Billy Zane, drug dealers, Angelyne, Leonardo DiCaprio, the cleaning lady, Leif Garrett, Natalie Imbruglia, and everyone else who came into the house are all caught on film-whether zany, inebriated, naked, hamming it up, looking beautiful, or looking ugly, the photo booth tells no lies. Accompanying the strips are hilarious stories, musings, tell-all anecdotes, and other glimpses into the lifestyle of a one of the most decadent rock stars of our time. His chronicle of a year in Navarro's life is also a gritty portrait of his descent into drug use and self-destructiveness, and his struggle to find meaning. Designed by the mad genius that produced "Manson's", "Motley Crue's", and "Mankind's books", "Don't Try This at Home" is a visual masterpiece, a celebrity expose, and a shocking, hilarious, and irresistible read.
Dave Navarro racked up four platinum records as the guitarist of Jane's Addiction and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He has played on albums by Alanis Morissette, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and Porno for Pyros, has appeared several times on the covers of Rolling Stone, Spin, Musician, and Guitar Player. Neil Strauss is the co-writer of three New York Times - bestselling autobiographies: Marilyn Manson's The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Motley Crue's The Dirt, and Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Porn Star. He writes for the New York Times and Rolling Stone.
