| Giuliano has written extensively on popular music, particularly ]. By 1999, he had authored 20 books, including ''Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison'' (1990) and ''Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney'' (1991). | |||
| Giuliano has written some thirty five often controversial biographies on 1960's musicians and several audio works (100 to date) on subjects as diverse as Frank Sinatra as well as archival interviews with survivors of the Titanic entitled, "That Fateful Night: True Stories of Titanic Survivors In Their Own Words." Giuliano has also authored two London Sunday Times bestselling biographies, "Dark Horse: The Secret Life of George Harrison" and "Blackbird: The Life And Times Of Paul McCartney." Along the way, he has collaborated with John Lennon's half-sister Julia Baird and British BBC TV personality Gloria Hunniford. Steve Holly wrote the backword to his Blackbird book, and Timothy Leary penned the backword to Giuliano's the Lost Beatles Interviews. In late 1998, Random House Audio asked Giuliano to form a company for them called Tribute Audio (see information regarding Giuliano's many audio releases on Amazon.com), which produced a line of celebrity, interview laced, original spoken word CDs, all written, produced and narrated by the author. He worked in that capacity for some five years. | |||
| In an interview for '']'' in September 1992, Giuliano offended ]'s wife ] by referring to the Beatles as "real shits in real life" and dismissing ] as "just shallow and vacuous".<ref>{{cite book|last=Badman|first=Keith|title=The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001|publisher= Omnibus Press|location=London|year=2001|isbn=978-0-7119-8307-6|page=486}}</ref> On October 5 that year, ''The Guardian'' published a letter from Olivia Harrison in which she wrote that "like a starving dog he scavenges his heroes, picking up bits of gristle and sinew along the way."<ref>{{cite news|first=Will|last=Woodward|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/31/willwoodward1|title='Mrs George' Shares Husband's Interests|newspaper=]|date=December 31, 1999|access-date=February 28, 2019}}</ref>{{sfn|Badman|2001|p=487}} She also complained about Giuliano's use of a quote by Harrison on the cover of ''Dark Horse'', saying: "My husband once made the remark: 'That guy knows more about my life than I do.' Giuliano missed the joke and used it to endorse his book."{{sfn|Badman|2001|p=487}} When interviewed in Los Angeles on December 14, 1992, Harrison said of Giuliano: "Yeah, I met him briefly.

| Giuliano has been a likely target for many fans of his biographical subjects due to his unrelenting warts and all writing style. On August 11, 1996 the Calgary Sun made the point in a review of his work on the life of the Who's ]. | |||
| "Unlike so many fawning rock biographers who lavish false praise on a bunch of worthless morons, Giuliano has the ability to get to the heart of the man and by doing so gives readers a glimpse of a period in history. Fans will never get closer to the man than in "Behind Blue Eyes" Unfortunately, Giuliano does such a magnificent job that many fans may wish they had never searched so hard." Giuliano told ''Eye Weekly'' that he briefly worked for Townshend, but was fired after stealing a tape from him.<ref> ''Eye Weekly'', May 11, 2000. </ref> | |||
| A research assistant of Giuliano's subsequently wrote to the newspaper to defend him.<ref> - ''Eye Weekly'', June 29, 2000 </ref> | |||
| A biography Giuliano authored about John Lennon (released in 2000) was similarly controversial. Giuliano claimed the book was based in part on transcripts of Lennon's journal given to him by the singer Harry Nilsson, who died on January 16, 1994.<ref>alt.obituaries usenet group,posted January 15, 2006</ref> The claim was made after Nilsson's death, and several people close to Nilsson do not believe he ever had the transcripts in his possession.<ref name ="Lennon, imagined" /> ''Washington Post'' reporter David Segal quoted Giuliano's response when he was asked to corroborate his claim that Nilsson gave him the diaries. "My wife knows, my son knows," Giuliano snapped yesterday, his voice rising in anger. "Look, I'm already a rich man. I own a $700,000 home that's paid for. It's obvious that I'm going to do things in an ethical manner." Segal also reported the view of Steven Gutstein, a former New York assistant district attorney who was asked to read the diaries during an early 1980's larceny lawsuit against former Lennon personal assistant Fred Seaman. After reading some of the more sensational claims in Giuliano's book, Gutstein commented, "This is a Mad magazine version of the diaries." Gutstein described his own memory of the diaries as "a lot of philosophical musings combined with mundane details | |||
| of everyday life." <ref> The Washington Post, Style Section, April 18, 2000</ref> Asked how she would respond to the book, Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono commented, "Ugh, Geoffrey Giuliano, oh, I don't want to comment on him. If you | |||
| follow all his other writings, you know all about him. We know him, and | |||
| that's what bothers him, I suppose. But I don't know what to do about all | |||
| that. Each person has an axe to grind--"If I do this angle, maybe I'll make | |||
| money; if I do that angle, maybe I'll make more money." But now, people are | |||
| starting to get wise. If a reporter goes to interview an old classmate, | |||
| people know a classmate would probably not say anything nice; they're | |||
| probably jealous. They know fired employees don't usually say anything nice. | |||
| So I'm hoping people will read those things with that kind of understanding. After so many lies being told, truth still has power, so we don't have to | |||
| worry about it. Just look at John's music, his art, his statements--and get | |||
| power from that. " <ref> Lou Carlozo, Chicago Tribune, Tempo Section, November 17, 2000</ref> | |||

I met him at the home of "Legs" Larry Smith for possibly thirty minutes. I visited with Mr. Smith and he was in his flat." In the same interview, he stated, "There is a certain trick to the way Giuliano goes about his work.

Geoffrey Giuliano (born September 11, 1953) is an American author of biographies of rock musicians.
Literary work
Giuliano has written extensively on popular music, particularly the Beatles. By 1999, he had authored 20 books, including Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison (1990) and Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney (1991).
In an interview for The Guardian in September 1992, Giuliano offended George Harrison's wife Olivia by referring to the Beatles as "real shits in real life" and dismissing Paul McCartney as "just shallow and vacuous". On October 5 that year, The Guardian published a letter from Olivia Harrison in which she wrote that "like a starving dog he scavenges his heroes, picking up bits of gristle and sinew along the way." She also complained about Giuliano's use of a quote by Harrison on the cover of Dark Horse, saying: "My husband once made the remark: 'That guy knows more about my life than I do.' Giuliano missed the joke and used it to endorse his book." When interviewed in Los Angeles on December 14, 1992, Harrison said of Giuliano: "Yeah, I met him briefly. I have no way of recalling what year it was. I met him at the home of "Legs" Larry Smith for possibly thirty minutes."
Giuliano's biography of John Lennon, Lennon in America: 1971–1980 (Cooper Square Press, 2000), was controversial. Giuliano said the book was based in part on transcripts of Lennon's diaries given to him by the late American singer Harry Nilsson and on audio tapes recorded by Lennon. Several people close to Nilsson said they did not believe that he ever had the transcripts in his possession; others familiar with the journal and the tapes disputed the accuracy of Giuliano's interpretation. Writing in The Washington Post, David Segal described Giuliano's text as "a highly critical, luridly detailed account"; he quoted Giuliano's response when he was asked to corroborate his claim that Nilsson gave him the diaries: "It's obvious that I'm going to do things in an ethical manner." Steven Gutstein, a former New York assistant district attorney who read the diaries during an early 1980s larceny lawsuit, recalled that they contained "a lot of philosophical musings combined with mundane details of everyday life". Colin Carlson of Library Journal said of Lennon in America, "Non-fans will be put off by this image of Lennon as cad, drug addict, and paranoiac; this often sensationalized account is for voyeurs and fans with deconstructive tendencies and is one of the best, most detailed books available on this subject." Less impressed, a Publishers Weekly reviewer commented, "If Giuliano's own double-talk isn't enough to diminish this work's credibility, his endless, voyeuristic descriptions of Lennon's sexual encounters are."
