Cat Burrito Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Personally I think since cleaning up his act I think Duff is pretty genuine and doubt this is about money for Duff at least. http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/guns-nroses-duff-mckagan-return-confirmed/ I like Duff, liked his book and on some level he is probably a small factor as to why I've been a bassist since the late 80s.

Lozz196 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Andy mentioned this last night thinking it could be an April Fool gag, but looks genuine from the article. Having also read Duffs book it seems exactly the sort of thing the nowadays Duff would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It's only 5 shows due to regular bassist having previous commitments, not quite the story it first looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempy535 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Now if only Slash and Axl can bury the hatchet. Closest I got to seeing the original line up was a Velvet revolver show. Duff is one of my top 5 favourite bass players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) What a shame. Someone needs to throw dirt on this sh*t. I love Duff. If there was ever a gig I wish I could have been at or even played at, it is Guns & Roses live at the Ritz in 1988. That thing sends chills up my spine every time I watch it, which is often. And I am being a bit of a hypocrite here because I don't usually care if a band goes off in another direction or just goes to pot, because I will always have the stuff I loved, no one can take that away from me, but Axl has done nothing but piss all over the memory of Guns & Roses. He might own the name but the band left him way behind. He's the last person mentioned in the video at this link. I should warn you, some of those videos might make you cry. http://www.cracked.com/video_18831_4-musical-performances-that-will-ruin-your-childhood.html Edited April 2, 2014 by KingBollock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1396464988' post='2414059'] It's only 5 shows due to regular bassist having previous commitments, not quite the story it first looks. [/quote] It's why I tagged the thread with "for a few shows". I guess this is comparable to Izzy stepping back in during the early 90s when Gilby Clarke had his motorbike accident. Personally I'm not in the remotest bit under any illusions that this is anything more than what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 From reading his book, duff and axl are still friends, albeit not as close as they used to be. Who wouldn't help a mate out in a bind?? I think all of us GnR fans would love to see the full line up, but it's not likely to happen, especially since they have gone on to have successful careers individually out side of guns, but we can dream!

Bassman Sam Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 [quote name='Kempy535' timestamp='1396467426' post='2414101'] Now if only Slash could bury a[size=4] hatchet in Axel's head then I would be interested. Axel is a twat. Duff is one of my top 5 favourite bass players.[/size] [/quote] Fixed. Axel makes fans wait for hours to see him before being bottled off stage. Why would Slash want to be part of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Saw them at Rock City in Nottingham on the Appetite For Destruction tour with the classic lineup, I'll settle for that. Rose was up himself even then, refused to do an encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone else singing guns songs just isnt the same. [/quote] Nah, Slash has Myles Kennedy (one of the nicest and best rock singers out there) now - why would he ever return to Axl?

Why would Slash want to be part of that? [/quote] Agreed. Arsehl Rose needs to think about who put him where he is now, and treat the fans with a bit more respect. This swaggering on stage two hours late crap is simply not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
