Title: Duff interview at knac.com-Interesting Guns tidbit Post by: christina_rose on June 16, 2004, 04:27:34 PM I posted this at the VR section already, I don't know if it's considered a VR topic or a GNR topic, so I am posting it here as well. There is a rather lengthy interview with Duff over at www.knac.com (http://www.knac.com). I won't post the entire thing. The interviewer tries NOT to ask him a bunch of GNR questions, which I think is cool. There is one section that was rather interesting.
KNAC.COM: Okay. Now here?s the one GNR question I have for you. McKAGAN: Okay! KNAC.COM: If they were playing today, would you go see them? McKAGAN: Well? [Pauses]? Noooo? I doubt it. No. I ? I just, you know, really? especially once after I left and started going to school, I really put it all behind me. I haven?t really thought about it at all until I started doing all this press and been asked about it. So, it?s been kinda put in front of me. And, you know, I have a healthy past with Axl [Rose]. But Guns ?N Roses was Guns ?N Roses when it was Guns ?N Roses. If that makes any sense to you -- does that make any sense to you? KNAC.COM: That makes a lot of sense to me. McKAGAN: Okay? and now, it?s -- from what I understand -- it?s? an ever-evolving line-up. And? it?s, you know, it?s Axl?s? he owns the name. KNAC.COM: Oh, yeah? McKAGAN: Yeah. And that?s? that?s where you get the Guns ?N Roses thing. And that?s about? that?s kinda where it stops, too. You know? For me, at least. I wouldn?t go see it, myself. I hold nothing against Axl, it?s just? I have no interest in seeing it. You know? If you can?t do a record in a year or so? KNAC.COM: [Laughs] McKAGAN: ?you?re working too hard on something, or something?s not there. Something?s missing. Unless, you know? watch it be just amazing. It should be after 9 years or something. It damn well better be!

Im still inclined to think that the whole partnership lawsuit/issue is what is holding back the album, numerous people have said that the album is done and Axl is clearing up the legalities. and lawsuits involving partnerships are very difficult to resolve. Their is a thread around here somewhere with it all in: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=12839;start=msg223890#msg223890 Title: Re:Duff interview at knac.com-Interesting Guns tidbit Post by: Will on June 16, 2004, 04:39:32 PM Thanx but like you said it's already posted in the VR section.
