She's happy to come up there night after night, and she's been in the band for years now, so she's doing something, she doesn't seem bored of it, and the people at the top want her there.  her work isn't designed to be obvious; I wish there'd be a video interview with her, showing all the sounds she makes, or an isolated track, so we can appreciate her in an obvious manner. it reminds me of this futurama quote: "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all"

Has Guns N’ Roses actually been setting itself up for the future? To quote the opening lines of Terminator 2, which featured the band’s Illusion-era You Could be Mine: “The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." “I don't think we were thinking in those terms like setting a foundation for later,” says McKagan. “We just been going, like just kind of got the blinders on. We're just going for it. It's not like a plan. We don't have a big plan.”   It's great to hear that Duff feels that the band is in top form physically and mentally, but "We don't have a big plan.” 😭 Well I hope there is at least a small plan somewhere. Who's in charge of the planning?  

The headline is the same, so it's the same, I guess. Posted here, also: https://www.a-4-d.com/t7535-2022-12-04-stuff-new-zealand-guns-n-roses-on-that-time-axl-rose-wore-an-all-blacks-jersey-duff

There's  a New Zealand exclusive article in the newspaper! :O   [img description in case it disappears: Ratapu Sunday. 04.12.22. New Zealand Exclusive. Guns N' Roses. Duff McKagan on that time Axl Rose wore an all blacks Jersey and why the band are in their best shape yet. Big black and white photo of Duff holding his guitar, and his arm up, in front of a crowd.]   edit: this may be the online version? i don't have the paper so i can't check if they're the same. https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/300751677/guns-n-roses-on-that-time-axl-rose-wore-an-all-blacks-jersey--and-whether-theyll-do-it-again  

The “most dangerous band in the world” would still toss whistle and microphone into crowd.  Lame ass move on Axl to cave to the pressure.  Disappointing.
