[jfv2312]

Duff McKagan, Flea, Sting... all of them are the rason i prefer bass to guitar and i play it in a band

[19grand]

Don't use leather straps they probably sourced the leather form Brazilian ranches where they destroy the rainforests to set up ranches to produce cheap meat for ready meals and leather for you know...

[MegaDarth666]

Its 2011 and Velvet revolver have no vocalist.

[SparcoC4]

@margaretszuky Yeah... .You`re an idiot.

[venomize1]

its impossible for him to drink anymore if he does i could very likely kill him, he even mentions it in a bio he did, his pancreas exploded and it almost killed him so now he's diabetic. he may be stoned but not drunk.

[sausageNmash1990]

he has totally been drinking..... he nearly died frm drinkin 4 litres of vodka a day dammit.... what is he thinkin snowballing again...

[Omdullla]

[DaltonGhostTours]

[LeggendCanals]

[gloople]

why is there a bottle of Jager on Duff's taple? i thought the guy quit drinking years ago. anyway, awesome interview and Duff is a great guy.

[sausageNmash1990]

@gloople he has been drinking and he is wasted thats why he is where ing his shades

[evil797]

shittiest interviewer EVER. i stopped watching after less then a minute.

[thatsafreakbaby]

hahahahaha duffs funny as hell it would be fun to get fucked up with him

[axlnfinke]

he is a truly nice guy! he is not vindicktive like slash

[MultiApostate]

Lol, Duff's not taking this seriously at all :p I think he's messing w/ the guy all over the place

[thethethetheluis]

GOD that guy sucks at interiewing! hold the goddamn mic to yours/his face not in the middle fucking asshole

[CarlosTevezNR1Fan]

duff is right chinese democracy is a great album

[trygvi1]

he sounds completeli different now that he exersizes and stoped smoking and drinking sorry not good a spelling

[klementinukeaa]

He looks more likely with long hair ;]

[eklebert2x]

i always thought duff was the coolest guy in gNr

[ADPFUCKER]

Ojala me vea como y el y con esa onda cuando tenga su edad !! jaja, estos tipos son increibles, con la vida que llevaron y todo aun se siguen viendo juveniles a su edad. Ojalá yo llegue asi !! jeje

[phish1085]

whats NAMM stand for ?

[jameskillparty]

National Association of Music Merchants. If you ever get a chance you should go.

[SOYUNPINCHEBOY]

he's a great bass player

[QJustijola]

nie dość, że z angielskim się męczę, to jeszcze coś przeżuwa, nic nie rozumiem :D

[CaptainAtheist]

this is one of or probably the best bass player ever... and yes like i saw written somewhere down on this page.... he has had a huge musical influence on my bass playing... it's very hard not to get influenced by him.... because he's catchy... his playing stays with you in your mind

[WhoKilledCallo]

no way. he is nowhere near the best. i love him, the stuff he plays, but not one of the best

[trulysarcastic]

narrowed it down to two or three guys? 9 months later and nothing

[Jmastanaru]

lol i think he may have just been fucking with him.

[firegeek22]

@trulysarcastic he was just fucking around with him dude he even said it.

[Ryntaki]

*looks at Duff's arms* Did he have his GNR tattoo covered up???

[Lukith66]

he becomes nearly speechless when he asks about chinese democracy. it seems like he doesnt want to be saying all those nice things 'bout it. but duff is a nice, fair guy and he would never talk shit bout axl

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@Lukith66 he is... Seriously nice guy !

[Whiskey04]

firme

[Jordo1900]

him and flea are the reason i started bass

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@Jordo1900 phil lynott n such are the reason you'll play it even more...

[uzavas]

scott weiland with slash and duff just didnt sound right...i wish axl and slash would get back together for 25 new songs..that would be sweet

[Ryntaki]

That would be the most EPIC reunion in rock history! (Next to The Beatles getting back together, if all the members were atill alive).

[Lulaneih]

@Ryntaki Ahhaha the beatles are one of the most overrated bands in the world.

[trisha197237]

There`s a bottle of "Jägermeister" on the table....... :)

I love Duff...even with short hair :))))

[1mentality]

crack -head!!!good musicians tho!

[vainparasite]

Its a pity weiland and revolver split, contraband and libertad were fucking top albums.

[wrigglesmca]

ACDC playing in the background :D. Duffs a legend :D

[trygvi1]

@mmmtomtoddles dude you´re joking right okey ya fuck sorum but slash i mean c´mon every real gnr fan loves slash

[johnsmdm]

please sirs..jegermeister on the table kicks my ass sirs...Im sorry sirs...

[oye2a2000]

what a legend. he's one of the reasons i started playing bass

[UnknownxAbyss]

Guns aint coming back the truth hurts but Axls is just to much of an ass to everyone

[colosalguitarist]

barolol,never gonna hapen,shame =[

[xoxkirstiexox12]

when was this? like what month

[evh5150316]

Joe Bosso is one of the best interviewers I have ever seen!

[barolol]

duff please back guns n roses

[bigsyke2]

@pinkpanther446, Agreed about Slash

[pinkpanther446]

@bigsyke2 -Duff has joined Jane"s Addiction pluss with his own band and I'm happy for Duff. Sure, slash may had been a good guitar player put as a person that's whole different story and I feel that nobody from Guns as we knew want to get mixed up into drama again and as anyone can see, slash is the only VR member left. The only one who aren't speaking is slash and Axl.

[pinkpanther446]

@pinkpanther446 -This is the truth and Guns fans know it.

[217zenki]

he is clean finally.

[internalpeaceseeker]

he has been clean for at least 10 years or otherwise he would have died, he used to drink so much all the time til he went to the hospital and recovered and quit

[richymoore]

Or is he, isn't that an empty bottle of jegermiester on the table, he sounds a little rubber when hes talkin

[LBjim]

I heard he went out recently. If he did that is too bad..

[xxxdarkmexxx]

omg how old is he now? and how fucking hot does he look, think im gonna go all girly........

[emeriesan]

wow! is this really Duff? He looks 20 years younger and fresher and 100 times more attractive than back in the 90s.

[internalpeaceseeker]

in the 80s he was even cuter

[cubancg212]

this interviewer is a FUCKING ASSHOLE

[droog0011]

wow.he's sober, but the effect of the drugs is so apparent on his speech. he can't even fucking talk!it's like the brain-speech communication is delayed like 15 seconds. i fucking love duff,though.

[wiresystem]

Wau.....he can read and write?......amazing

[soltipnek]

Well....they can bring Duff in as well if they wish....but PLEASE not Matt....he is worse than the drumer of Def Leppard!

[Rathalos887]

The drummer of Def Leppard has one arm x_x

[georgeisupset]

Duff seems annoyed at this clown, or maybe he's right out of it. Is he sober now??

[Snakepit4321]

yup. he got pancreatitis i think. whatever it was called it swelled his pancreas to the size of a football and he almost died. since then hes been sober.

[perfectcrime96]

lol at around 2:12 someone starts playing "you shook me all night long" by AC/DC in the background :D:D

[lucaalloccaofficial]

@perfectcrime96 he's not someone, he's Donato Begotti from Italy...

[AmnellAndreas]

haha you can see that duff was trying too find anything good about C.D but he canä't so he jsut tells some lies x) rotfl

[TheGlow101]

That explains why he said the same thing in three different interviews and he invited Bumblefoot ( GnR lead guitarist ) to jam at two Loaded shows and called him an "killer player and incredible virtuoso"

[AmnellAndreas]

yeah well i was meaning that the amish guy who used to be in gnr sucks! ron thal is good but not so close to for example joe perry, angus young or slash or any of those guitarists who actually are really famous!

[chrisis138]

Chinese wasn't as good as the Use your Illusions album. .... So it was a failure, mainly because it took 15 years to make. But the record is an ok record I have it, but it's the worst Guns record.

[soltipnek]

Chinese Democracy is by far the worst GNR Album if we consider axl and these session musicians as GNR. I don't. Can't understand why it took AXL 15 years to write this crap (pardon me...) but it is nothing like Appetite, Lies or Use your illusions, not even close! Damn!!! I wish axl could join with Izzy and Slash and maybe there is a chance they do smth good altogether as the real GNR....!!!

[rockdaddio]

Haha, Duff has the munchies.

[axl77]

Chinese Democracy is an excellent record. I think the thing that will make it better is if Axl brings another one out SOON!!

[grassh0pper2]

Duff is cool. Chinese democracy is not.

[nakedrider10]

chinese democracy is good, but its not GnR

[nakedrider10]

chinese democracy is good, BUT its not Guns N Roses

[MssAlchimist]

Chinese democracy can be a good record...but, come on, it's not Guns 'N Roses!

[axlfied123]

golsk8 what the fuck! chinese democracy is fuckin good! id like to see you release a record like that that the whole world was waiting for for 14 years!! good luck on that

[HugoRune1976]

yeah we waited 14 years for an album with 2 good songs on it YAY! WTG AXL!!

[auston5001]

the only way chinese democracy is good is if ur so high on crack and meth that ur about to od and its still not dat good then sorry democracy fans i got the APPETITE FOR THE DESTRUCTION!!!!!!

[goldsk8]

chinese democracy sucks dick

[ashiqhaider]

who the fuck is the interviewer he cant even hold the microphone right!!

[RosarinoGNR]

no entiendo nada

[Panzerstahlkorps88]

Chinese Democracy=awesome!

[Nasher900]

It`s not a great record but it`s a good record.

[yoyohop]

this guy's more coherent and ass-kicking then when he was with GNR

[Nicoln78]

This is pretty badass bro
