Duff Mckagan singing...

[lynn1961]

I love Duff.  Attitude - that was great and he sounded very good.  Very punk.  However, with all due respect to him, there's a reason why he plays bass & doesn't sing lead..... (let's leave it at that!) 

[GNR - CROATIA]

Don't know about that one.
Know something else,  thought...
LET SLASH HANDLE THE WRITTING PROCESS!
VR needs what Slash' done best in GNR and 'Pit days,  blues sound and long solos!!!

I think Duff is a great singer, he has a great vibe. Granted back in the Believe In Me era he was a mess but that is a great album to listen to . After Duff got clean his vocals greatly improved imo. His vocals on Dark Days are top notch. When i first got Contraband i actually thought Duff was singing lead on Spectacle. Anyhow you can hear Duff alot on Contraband. Not to turn this into a GnR thing at all but that is the one thing that i really miss from the new Guns is Duff's backing vocals.

Duff has a great punk rock voice, he sounds great on TSI tracks New Rose and Raw Power, and the songs he sang on the Neurotic Outsiders album sound great too.
VR are very much a band, so I don't see why Duff couldn't contribute some vocals or at least backing vocals.

I think Duff sounds great. He may not be a great singer but he sings well if you know what I mean... I don't think there is any need for him to sing with VR though.

I just got ahold of Loaded's live disk 'Episode 99'. I am very impressed with Duff's live vocals on that cd, it is really good, especially the songs 'Sycophant' and 'Riding Home' that were not included on BD. I listened to that back to back with a bootleg from the Believe In Me tour and it really is amazing how much Duff has improved his vocals since gettting clean. I highly recommend getting that cd if you can find a copy. It is killer.

Duff is great,  just remember New Rose, ... awesome.

he toured for that album? who was the band?

[myrnarh]

The band was Taz Bentley on drums, Dez on guitar and the I can not remember who the other guitarist is. I have the albumn but it's at home and I am at at mom's right now. If I remember I will let you know. Both of the Loaded Cd's kick ass. Love Believe In Me. His vocal have improved and gotten better since he is sober. He rocks.

The other guitarst was Michael Baragan. Duff played bass and sang. Loaded went thru quite a few members after the 1999 release.

doesnt dez and taz bentley play with izzy on his albums? hehe...

[myrnarh]

Yeah I think they play on Izzy's albumns

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Taz Played in the last izzy's album, and Duff in some other.

[Jizzo]

yeah they do, and duff usually plays bass on izzys records

[IzzyDutch]

You've got:

Ju Ju Hounds (1991)
117 degrees (1998)
Ride On (1999)
River (2001)
On Down The Road (2002)
Like A Dog (2003)

Taz Bentley plays drums from 117 degrees till Like A Dog, Duff plays bass from 117 degrees till On Down The Road and would've been on Like A Dog aswell if he wasn't in VR.

Taz is an amazing drummer, great variety of sounds and groove, his drum tracks fit the songs great..
Ridin' Home by the way is written by Izzy just like Put You Back. But Izzy doesn't play on Ridin' Home (altough he was there at the gig when they recorded it and he took the band pictures on the album)

Duff McKagan singing is a joke.  When my band plays "Out Ta Get Me", I do the backing vocals, and I try to sound as drunk and off-tune as possible to be just like Duff!  It's hilarious!

"They won't touch me" (drunken stuper)
"You can't tell me" (even drunker)

Those backing vocals by Duff sound great. Fits the vibe of the song.

[WhatIsItMan]

Gotta love 'em.

[Butch Français]

Im listening to the Neurotic Outsiders album now, he does pretty damn well on the songs he sings on IMO! I like his voice, rough punk voice.

VR SHOULD have backing vocals. Duff would be fine. Almost all GN'R songs had backround vocals.. and they ruled cuz of it. It gives songs more.. "meat"
