"Duff MacKagan = 9. Duff is a great bass player. How about that first GNR record? That's one of my "if you were on an island and could only have one album" records."

Duff:the one and only

Duff usually gets a pretty high rating on those Rate-the-Bassists questions.

[DOASHK]

thats weird why does he always get such a high rating

[IzzyDutch]

Cause he?s good

[Butch Français]

Cause he?s good

good guess, I agree!

[DOASHK]

i dont think duff is techincally that good, as much as i hate to admit it
he definetely does his job but thats about it, i think it was joe perry that said he was like the bassist from ac/dc, very simple but got the job done or something like that

in bands such as GN'R and VR, that is the definition of being a great bassist! steady as a tank.
guys like Flea and Les Claypool is probably more technically skilled, but they would never ever fit in those two bands!
Duff has a great feel and makes very interesting basslines too, but slapping and popping isn't his style, just like tapping isn't Slash's style.

I think Duff is a lot better than Cliff Williams from AC/DC.  Most of GN'R's baselines aren't that complicated I guess, but they're still way more complcated than AC/DC baselines.  I always thought Duff was very underrated.
