HollyWoodRose84 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Just met Duff at his first book signing. Cannot tell you just how much of a cool and laid-back class act he is. I was there with my wife and my 2yr old daughter whom he held for a picture. Funniest moment is when he looked at my wife and said , " are you sure you trust me with your child??" I refrain from asking anything relating to a reunion because I heard a lot of people ask him that I just heard him say that it would be great but it wasn't up to him. For those of you that haven't met him yet I highly recommend getting to one of the signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Duff is awesome. The strength behind Axl and GNR. He's fucking tall also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludurigan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Cool. Id love to ask him if they could release the sessions they had with Izzy on the Project (pre-VR). Slash has said that they had like 10 or 15 songs and that it was the best instrumental GNR record ever. Id love to listen to those songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff is awesome. Most likely, he is the guy that inspired me to go back to college and get invested into the field of business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Can't believe it's been 4 years since my now ex-girlfriend got me Duff's first book signed. Man, that was a nice gesture and surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyWoodRose84 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I've met lots and lots of celebrities, especially with my line of work and I always try to come off acting not like a "fan." At the end of the day there just human beings exactly like us and I find that the more you treat them like a "normal" person the more pleasant the experience will be. I had a similar experience with Billy Joel a number of years ago who is normally a complete dick to everyone but was cool when I met him. He did however get mad when I wouldn't have a drink with him lol. Edited May 12, 2015 by HollyWoodRose84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ill be honest. I don't give a fuck if Slash ever played with gnr. Id be happy with the current lineup with duff on bass. He's nice and really down to earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR41 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I am traveling for work today and had to miss the signing. I am very disappointed about it. I met Slash last Thursday when he came into my office before his NYC show. He signed my AFD vinyl which was amazing. I am getting it framed.

Val22 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah, Duff looks cool and laid back! I think that's how he goes through life and that's great!Glad you got a chance to meet him with your family. I've met a few rock stars and everyone of them was super cool! I love when you meet someone you admire and they turn out to be such nice super cool people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDay7 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Personality-wise, Duff is my hero! Of all the people I could have chosen: MLK, Gandhi... I've chosen the this bass player as my hero! I always read his first book when I need a boost or just a laugh. I love how he turned his life around dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I've only met him once, when he played in Paris with the Walking Papers. Talked to him a bit before and after the show. Really friendly person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Saw Duff a couple of years ago with Walking Papers in Grimsby! He signed my Loaded t-shirt and ticket - he was really cool (although the photo quality was is really bad!!) Edited May 13, 2015 by AndyM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
