Rattlesnake Suitcase Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) After yesterdays fiasco of a radio interview with Tommy Stinson, where the part-time G'n'R mercenary refused to even talk about Guns and instead gushed about his solo work and gig in SOUL ASYLUM, the question has to be asked, should he be fired and the door be reopened for the most loyal and last to leave original member of the band, Michael 'Duff' McKagan to come back in? Let's not forget Duff (who has shown respect to Axl by not getting involved in the recent pissing match) co-wrote such seminal Guns songs as 'It's so Easy', 'Nightrain', 'Paradise City', 'Civil War' and 'Dust n Bones', is an accomplished lyricist, guitar player, pianist and drummer and of course has great stage presence with that low slung bass playing deep in the pocket as he so aptly puts it... or should Stinson, who has obviously used Axl to gain a solo recording contract which Rose got him, openly stated that he doesn't like G'n'R's older music and is now promoting and playing as a fully fledged member of Soul Asylum while the rest of Guns are busy preparing for the European shows be allowed to compromise the integrity of the band we have held in our hearts for so long (well some of us)...

Appetite For Waiting Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Duff would rejoin GNR in a second. To me, he had far better stasge presence than Stinson and he was a truly nice guy to boot. But the way I see it is this: Stinson has the choice of been a two-bit solo artist, playing shitty songs in small arenas (at best) without any hope of recognition. Or, he could play bass in a band that only has to rear its head to command world-wide attention and stadium gigs. I don't know which I'd choose? Anyway got that interview?

Rick Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Duff was definatly more loyal than stinson ever will beTommy has shown alot of loyalty to Axl - loads infact.I really like Tommy's live playing. Duff was a great player, but was often too pissed to play as well as he should have done. I think I liked VGH and Believe in Me about the same.R.

To them, Nirvana and the original G 'n' R are virtual 'rock dinosaurs'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlesnake Suitcase Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 Duff---the most overated bass player i ever heard---and yes Tommy runs circles around him as far as skillNot overrated because he himself states that he plays 'in the pocket', which is the perfect way to play for Guns and any true rockin band. You obviously don't know that Duff is actually a GUITAR player who realised that he would have to switch to bass when he moved to LA in order to even get in a band as the place was awash with wannabe guitarists. Smart move in hindsight. Besides this he's playing GUITAR alongside Jerry Cantrell in AIC this summer and that in itself proves the playing worth of the man. You cocksuckers really don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about on here. Try watching Duff command the stage in the intro to 'it's so easy' on old G'n'R live footage and opening the show for VR with his Suckertrain Blues intro. The guys a fucking living legend while Tommy Stinson is shit on my shoe in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn_It_Up Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Duff is a fucking tool!Seriously, how can anyone dislike Duff? He's as solid as they get across the board: writer, player, performer and friend/bandmate. Even if Slash reteamed with Axl, it would not feel like true GNR without Duff. And Axl and Duff always seemed to genuinely get along, law suit aside, so I don' t think there would be any personal issues there. Would be an easy fit, IMO...
