Nobody hates Duff. In the old days, he was high or drunk all the time, didn't involve himself in the slash vs Axl conflict and now he is sober and a very pleasant man.

Duff is one of the best rock n roll bassists ever he has such a natural feel for music .

Duff's authenticity is very calming, and he's looking like Iggy Pop's good looking younger brother here.

They are not so old and all kicked the habit, even Steve Adler who was the biggest junkie of them all and was hospitalized twenty eight times for an overdose.

Duff was as close to the voice of reason you could get in a virtually insane band. He's still an awesome cat.

We need an interview like this with Axl Rose iiii]; )'

Duff is such a great inspiration. His book, It's So Easy & Other Lies was a brilliant read. Gotta love The Duff !!

whats wrong with everyone on here? this interview is awesome! i hate the stoic and stiff q and a sessions in every other interview. this is so relaxed and is almost a conversation between two friends. it so comfortable to watch and its almost like we are there with these two. excellent interview, congrats!

Waitaminnit... You mean to tell me there's a Duff McKagan interview out there with Ghost playing in the background? Jackpot! I love that Duff went to bat & stuck up for Axl here in this video from 2013 (before they reunited), at a time when too many people within the industry were leading unofficial campaigns to demean him and undermine his contributions; to the point of basically trying to expunge his existence from the record books. Hate him all you want, but Axl Rose remains one of the greatest frontmen in rock n roll history, bar none. He's given much to the rock n roll art form. Axl took the concept of 'rock star' to new heights; a place where no one short of Kurt Cobain has been able to reach in their own careers ever since. The dude is one of the immortals.

what a genuinely nice humble and non egotistical bloke duff really is , perlite with manners and a gentleman , fuckin good for him ..... An unbelievable bass player in the simple but genius form , it's just refreshing to hear someone of his statue to be so friendly and perlite to his interviewer..... Top man , Shane England......

I personally like these kind of interviews :) Its not a typical/generic of the list questions to ask kind of interview... I spoke to Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge when they toured here in April & he is the biggest sweetheart & even tho I told him his songs meant the world to me & saved me from destruction he was extremely humble & made my night at the enmore theater amazing!!! The defiant thing I love about this interview is she is been herself & been a fan who is beyond excited to meet someone she obviously looks up to :) & believe me guys when a musician is that comfortable with you they know how excited you are & at the same time know what it was like for them when they met their heros, So naturally most musicians are going to be like that :) At the end of down she isnt been a typical stick to the books interviewer rather have a natural conversation & believe me guys you will find that the musicians love that too... They are human too & its a nice change for someone to do that :)

I felt natural vibes in this interview good job. and Duff maan what a fucking rockstar with a huge W I love that man

I'd much much rather have an interviewer that makes a interviewee seem at ease and use the format as more of a conversation than try and get the nitty gritty details from someone who's life is pretty well documented. Kudos on the conversational side of interviewing and getting some tid bits of info from Duff that seems like pure insight rather than shitty rehashed info we've all heard before.

Thanks man, appreciate it and glad you dug it. We hung out for 40 minutes, so he seemed to be having a chill time. Most artists get asked the same questions over and over and over and seem to appreciate a more open conversation with some active listening. I got a bit animated at times in this because I was excited and had been on the tour for eight days with very little sleep, but he seemed to enjoy it overall. I always try and get to the humanity rather than what most interviews are set up for - to sell tickets/records. And he's a fascinating human being.

I LOVE DUFF!!!! great true soul!! I got ITS SO EASY when I was in the hospital with pneumonia! Id seen his interview on Dr.Philgood and hed talked about it a bit. Gives such an in depth view into him!! Just like Scott's "Not dead and not for sale" Weiland's is alot grittier though. Duff's is one of my fave book of all time!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘💚🧡💚🧡💚😎

Duff is an inspiration for all addicts. Thank you for stayin sober and live to tell about your private hell..

Nice interview Christina, Duffis really a nice Guy and a great writer. He's the glue in GNR and thanks him for this reunion.

+The Void with Christina Thank you for sharing! Duff and the original GN'R Line up gave me many happy moments in my teenage years with their music. It's so nice to know that He's still out there clean and still rocking and down to earth.

Really funny at the end too, when they are talking about Duff's baby.. The way she says: "You did your part, and I'm sure you done it well! You know?" HAHAHA! Cracks me up every time! I kept rewinding it and watching her say it again and again! TOO funny! :P Hahaha! What is this girls name by the way? I'd love to see her interview more people, as she just has that GREAT style of questioning... I mean Duff is so comfortable here, he's just talking as natural and as a result we get to learn a lot more about him than we would if he was being interviewed by a traditional type of reporter, with a dull and boring approach...

Hey Davey, sorry I only just saw this! My name is Christina Rowatt! I'm on instagram as xtina_rowatt if u wanna see new links and stuff, and used to host a backstage channel for the Soundwave Festival, over here: thanks for the kind words! My first job was making tea at a mastering studio so got pretty comfortable with bands pretty early, also learned how important respect and manners are in this business! This was one of those pich yourself moments when a band you respect is just as cool as you would have imagined. Appreciate you watching, have about 160 clips up across my channels, check them out :)

Duff is the sound of Guns more than Slash.. That Bass is so COOL..

You totally have the right to not like how I do this, but the fact of the matter is, if active listening (responding regularly, nodding, acknowledging, asking follow up questions) didn't work, he definitely would have cut the interview before forty minutes. If he found me disrespectful he would have left much earlier. You're completely entitled to call me whatever, but yeah ... I think the proof in the method is the content, and the duration.

Great interview, but, if a had a chance, I would've asked Duff about Steven Adler, more precisely: does he regret now that Steven was so disgracefully kicked out of the band back in the day? I, personally, think it was a terrible mistake! With Steven's departure, the unique chemistry within the band members was lost (so as the sound). Drugs? But, they were friends after all, weren't they? They should've help him rather than showing him the door! That's how I see it.

It's obvious, but, even now, they don't have enough courage to recognize it and finally reconcile with their own exaggerated egos.
