(Another) Interview with Alan Niven

"Rock and roll is God's occupation for the unemployable."

Alan Niven returns with another unforgettable conversation—this time with a new book in hand, Sound and Fury (out June 24). In this wide-ranging interview with Ruben Mosqueda, Niven opens up about the process of writing, the memories that refused to stay buried, and why he initially hated the idea of a memoir.

From Slash’s surprising encouragement to the moments he chose not to include, Niven reflects on honesty, imperfection, and the rawness of real storytelling. Along the way, he shares tales of GNR pranks, Great White mislabeling, the rise and fall of Havana Black, and his unfiltered opinion on Rick Rubin.

This is Niven at his best—thoughtful, sharp, and ready to challenge the myths of rock history.
