Re: Duff McKagan Says Taking Stage With Guns N' Roses Was Meant To Happen
Anybody that pushes that card, I respect. Same thing goes for Dre, NWA all those guys back in the day.
One thing that really has to suck about being famous today (other than the lack of privacy) is fact that you really can't say anything remotely interesting for the rest of your life. Any strong remark you make will be held against you forever. You can't give an opinion on anyone else's talent or say you think someone is an ass or what not. Not unless you want the world judging you, the media attacking you and everyone brining it up every time you do an interview.

Good of Duff to clear the air.
It's beyong me how the media decided it was a reunion when he pretty much said all along it was a chance meeting and a one off for a bit of fun and mostly about fixing a friendship.
Starting to wonder how many years VR can drag on the singer search for though and still be considered an actual entity.

Well I don't know him as a person, so it would be kinda wierd to have a firm view that he's wonderful, or a firm view that he's a prick. Like we really only have the public apperances and words of others and so on.
I must say from that Eddie Trunk interview he seemed funny and intelligent and the kind of guy I'd like to be friends with in real life - even if he wasn't Axl and famous and all that.
Then again there's women who say he's abusive and so on...so I guess there's as much "bad" evidence as "good". So i can't really form an opinion.
But i will say I don't dislike him, and from that interview it sounded like I might well like him. As I was saying earlier we all have good and bad points.
The thing is, it does not matter how nice and geninuine you act when you are on camera (or radio), its how you act behind closed doors, that is what really matters. Just because one one occasion Axl seemed chill does not mean that is how he always is as a person.

Also it's worth mentioning if someone has emotional problems of some kind (rage, sadness, anxiety, despression etc) that doesn't make them a bad person overall. A lot of people are good people in general but have these 'problems' that occasionally make them difficult to be around or cause them to suffer sometimes.
I've never met axl, but he seems intelligent, funny and he's sure as hell talented creatively....which makes him a cool person on paper to me.
But I can't really say much more than that without meeting him in real life.

I don't understand being anti Axl or anti Slash, or Bumble, either. Kind of silly stance to take.
