DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED — the band led by VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan — will open for the current version of GUNS N' ROSES on the following dates:

Dec. 16 - Seattle, WA - KeyArena
Dec. 17 - Vancouver, BC - Pacific Coliseum

McKagan made a surprise guest appearance in October 2010 with GUNS N' ROSES at London, England's O2 arena. He told Seattle radio station KISW last year that playing in London with the current version of the band he left in the mid-Nineties was "great." McKagan came onstage during the group's October 14, 2010 gig to play on "You Could Be Mine", "Patience", "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and "Nice Boys", sticking around to take a bow with Rose and the rest of the group at the end of the show. The gig marked the first time McKagan had performed with GUNS N' ROSES in 17 years.

Still not sure how I feel about this.

It's kinda cool that Loaded can do this, but in my opinion, Duff shouldn't be opening for the band he helped create, he should be headlining the show with them...:ummm:

i dunno pretty cool if you ask me. its probably a 2 way bonus

shows acceptance that both guys have moved on and it shows good will towards the RNRHOF

if duff was still in GnR i'd want Loaded to open for them

i don't think it's weird. it's just the way it is. duff coulda still been in GnR but he isn't & he's ok w/that. he couldn't make the sacrifices & that's understandable & unfortunate but it's just how it is & they've accepted it..

I don't think it's weird at all. Now if VR was opening for GNR, THAT would be wrong.

If you look at interviews with Duff he is genuinely confounded as to why people still ask him about GNR, its half his life ago.

So awesome, and it shows a LOT of growth on both sides. And yeah, this may be one of the more unique situations in RnR history. What a bunch of lucky fans on the left coast!

Pretty lame....  If you can't see it, one isn't being honest. It was lame when Ace opened a show for Kiss too....

Weird- not sure if you're talking to me or just in general. But I can't see "it", and in the words of Grandpa Simpson "I don't even know what 'it' is!"

I think it's cool, but I'd love to know what the really obvious problem is.
