Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) | Broken Record

- In the minds of many rock fans, Duff McKagan will forever be known first and foremost as the bassist for Guns N' Roses. The band’s white-hot reign in the late '80s through the early '90s is the stuff of hedonistic, hard rock legend. And for anyone interested in reading a detailed account of that wild ride, check out Duff’s memoir, “It’s So Easy and Other Lies.”
After turning 30, Duff got sober, eventually left GNR, and then went on to play stints in Alice In Chains and Jane’s Addiction-and he helped form the supergroup, Velvet Revolver. In 2016, he rejoined Guns N' Roses following their induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Outside of his contributions to big name rock bands, Duff has also been releasing solo material since the early '90s. His latest album, Lighthouse, signals a new musical direction for Duff-one that focuses on reflective, personal lyrics and stripped-down rootsy-rock.
On today’s episode Leah Rose talks to Duff McKagan about his decision to leave the heroin-infested punk rock scene in his hometown of Seattle for LA. He also shares stories about Axl Rose and Slash while recording Appetite For Destruction. And he reminisces about the time his musical idol Prince was trying to get Duff to reveal the real reason why Guns N' Roses broke up.

ABOUT BROKEN RECORD
For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory-maybe even an invented history. We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world.
Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations-in a world without liner notes-for a new audience of music lovers.
Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews by producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell, and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.

Duff is one of my hero’s. I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago in Glasgow, Scotland at a book signing of his. Down to earth working class hero, done good. ❤️🤘
Duff was always very bright, well spoken, and clearly had a good head on his shoulders. Not surprised he got his act together and came out stronger.
Duff McKagan has lived a varied and very exciting life. He's been through so much. I'm glad that he is sober now. What surprised me is that he got sober at 30 years old. He's very well spoken and articulate. Humble and down to earth.
Duff will always b apart of my life I picked up the bass cause of him thank u for everything nothing but respect 🙏 and here's to many more years of ur success 🙌
The best gig I ever saw was The Stooges doing 'Raw Power' in 2008. Motorhead were always amazing but Iggy is just another breed. I don't know how he does it. There's a beautiful testimony to him by Herny Rollins on live performance on You Tube somewhere. Great tributes from Duff.
Duffs tone is chrome. Jaco meets sting and lemmy.
Best hard rock bass tone of all time. There are certain people jaco chris squire sting. Duff and mark lanagens audiobooks were a huge helping me clean up
That was great. Cheers😉
Hey Duff 👋
You have inspired me that you can reinvent yourself, no matter whether you're a famous rockstar or whether you're not ❤
PS: I've got the same bass as you 😎✌️🎸

I’ve listened to every Duff interview more than once, the slurring I’m hearing tonight is a concern. Hopefully sobriety hasn’t slipped because healthy Duff is the best version.
everyone deserves a measured break from "sobriety".
What slurring are you referring to?
i hope it was good crack and you had a good "comedown". no big deal just don't do prince.
