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. 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!
