    DUFF McKAGAN

    Dec 17, 2019 5 minutes
    Interview: Paul Elliott

    It has been a busy year for Duff McKagan, with the release of his solo album Tenderness, a few low-key gigs to promote it, and a return to being the bassist in Guns N’ Roses for the completion of the Not In This Lifetime tour, a marathon global trek, begun in 2016, in which McKagan and lead guitarist Slash were reunited with singer Axl Rose after two decades apart.

    McKagan enjoys having his hands full. As he tells Classic Rock: “You know the saying: ‘fortune shines on those who put in the work’.” And as he reflects on this year, his thoughts also turn to the good old, bad old days of the 80s, when Guns N’ Roses conquered the world with the biggest-selling debut album of all time, Appetite For Destruction.
