Man, almost unrecognizable compared to how he radically changed his life shortly after this. Glad he survived it. Loved his first book.

When this video shows up right above the one where he's newly repaired and in great health, the side-by-side images don't even look like they could be related. That's an amazing turn-around. He's so fortunate.

So glad you made it, Duff 🙏🏼

He was truly on the brink of dying When you see weight change it can indicate there’s some organ failure going on and you’re having metabolic problems. I admire Duff for turning it around, he needed so much medically and needed to accept mature guidance He’s a very special person who never lost his humanity and is compassionate They were SO young when they got famous Duff had a beautiful beautiful face

A friend of mine died of pancreatitis caused from alcohol. Swelling of the face was really noticeable with him too. Like you said, 'Organ Failure'. Always loved Duff and glad he made it!

Terrible here! that's pity ,he was such a stunning guy before this period. I'm happy he was so strong and resilient to bounce back from all his troubles while he was almost dying. I love and admire you Duff !

It's crazy how diffident he is just a couple years later. He really came in clutch on his own life by cleaning up when he did, he faltered in VR but hes doing right again

He said the only thing he ever drank was alcohol. I don't know much about substance abuse, but I guess it causes all that puffiness. It's so good to see he turned his life around after almost losing it.

Man he looks so much better now….. SO FINE he is♥️♥️ Glad he got it together

The worst days of his Drinking/ Drugging. Its amazing how he turned his life around.

Man, he was in seriously bad shape here, I can hear his pancreas bubbling now, ready to explode

Duff is the one rockstar that looks better NOW than he did when he was younger!

Just listen to his autobiography. Holy shit they went through a lot.

Yeah this was the peak of his worst time too. I loved his book. You can see how overweight he is from the drinking and all that. Glad he made it through. One of my biggest influences. On stage and off-stage.

I became a Gn'R fan when the video for _You Could be Mine_ came out and Duff used to look like this when I first began watching interviews and collecting magazines with articles and pictures of the band. This is how I knew him and when he sobered up and turned into how he looks like now, I was shocked! Now, after so many years seeing him as he is now, when I watch some old videos like this one, now I am shocked to see how bloated and messed up he was!

Juxtaposed to what he looks like and what a role model he is now.

Man he looks like Hell here. Glad he got cleaned up. The Use Your Illusion Tour really took its toll on him.

@@Danimal77 He never said this was before he became a chronic alcoholic. He just commented how good looking he was before he became one, suggesting that he looks like shit here and was at the peak of his alcoholism. How did you not understand that, and thanks for Putting “(Him at his worst)” In parenthesis. I would’ve never figured out what you were talking about, otherwise. (I would’ve been confused)

Nessa época o Duff estava inchado. As drogas e principalmente o álcool estavam tomando conta da vida dele. Um ano depois ele quase morreu devido a uma pancreatite.

He likes Prince.

Toda la papa tenia encima en esa época , un groso que nació otra vez .

What a proof you can change and survive from The Hell of addiction So Happy for him and that hed speaking about IT so many youngster can skip this rockroll lie of drugs

Just reading his book, nearly finished it. This time of his life he was super fked up

No they scaled down the tour back to just them because they made no money while touring with all those people. After concert themed parties, overhead, etc. They didn't make as much money so they went back out with just them and made money
