Title: Re: Duff Playing Cleveland on 4-13 Post by: AxlReznor on March 08, 2012, 05:19:38 AM is it duff or loaded?? Duff doing his solo album would be ace. It's Duff and a few other people doing a performance reading of excerpts from his book. So it's like a mixture of songs, and reading to music... he did it a few times when the book was released. I believe Jeff Rouse was one of the backing musicians. Title: Re: Duff Playing Cleveland on 4-13 Post by: reayj2003 on March 08, 2012, 06:31:47 AM Here is the info - (It does not say he will be playing....) Got my ticket. Row C of Balcony.
On the eve of his induction into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, this intimate gathering will feature a multi-media exploration of Duff ?s career in music, words, video, and sound.

Title: Re: Duff Playing Cleveland on 4-13 Post by: FunkyMonkey on March 14, 2012, 02:27:53 PM From an interview with Duff:
March 13, 2012 His appearance at HOB is billed as ?A Punk?s Revue.? McKagan will read selections from his memoir, ?It?s So Easy (And Other Lies)? (out Tuesday, March 20, in paperback), with musical accompaniment by Mike Squires on guitar, Jeff Rouse on bass and Paul Huxtler on pedal steel guitar. The multimedia presentation will include photographs and video, too. ?I want to make my book come alive,? said McKagan, 48. ?I?m a book nerd. . . . I?ve been to readings. Henry Rollins is a great reader. But I?m not that intense, like he is. ?When I read Upton Sinclair?s ?King Coal? or something, it?s a 3-D story. You?re on that mountain. And you?re in that coalmine. And you smell the mules. ?I thought, ?How do I do this?? My story is 3-D, too, hopefully. ?So I got this band behind me. . . . These guys play music, little snippets from my whole career. Even punk-rock stuff that I read about. It?s really interesting. Really cool. Really fun.? He did a similar event last year in his hometown of Seattle. McKagan and GN?R parted ways in 1997. He later hooked up again with Slash and Sorum in Velvet Revolver. Never mind the inductions for now. Any chance one or more of his erstwhile GN?R bandmates might join McKagan onstage at HOB? ?I don?t know,? he said. ?That would be awesome. I should probably put the invitation out first. I think it would be a lot of fun to get somebody there. ?I?m doing this book thing because I?m gonna be there. If I find out somebody else is going, I?m gonna definitely invite ?em. And maybe get somebody to read a chapter. ?Who knows? I don?t know. That?s a month away, and it seems like it?s about five years away. There?s been so much made of this thing.? Title: Re: Duff Playing Cleveland on 4-13 Post by: billsguy on April 08, 2012, 01:43:22 PM Anyone else getting excited for this show? Cleveland craigslist had a single VIP ticket for like $275 but I'm going with a friend so I didn't jump on it. I'm still thinking this will be a show with some cool guests.
Title: Re: Duff Playing Cleveland on 4-13 Post by: lynn1961 on April 09, 2012, 12:41:33 PM I'm looking forward to it. Should be interesting. Yeah, you never know - there could be some "surprise special guests"! ;)

Sorum added percussion, draped an arm over McKagan?s shoulder and planted a kiss on his cheek. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQJu4b0o9qs Duff McKagan talks about the first time he met Slash and Steven Adler. Cleveland 2012. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31x3-OMvnHw |
