www.duffmckagans-rawpower.com has all the info..

I couldn't seem to find any info on what musicians play on Beautiful Disease on that website.

I'm pretty sure Mike Bordin plays drums on the album on all tracks, and there's guest appearances by Slash & Izzy on some songs, and I'm guessing that Duff played the rest.

i thought duff played drums on all the tracks..

afterall, he did it on the first and on the loaded album....

[IzzyDutch]

On Beatiful Disease it's Abe Laborial Jr who plays drums (I think the same guy who's drumming in Paul McCartney's band) and some others and Duff doing bass/vocals and some guitar parts.. there are a lot of guests on the album. Izzy wrote "Put You Back" and plays the slide guitar on it and he wrote Ridin' Home (which is on Loaded's Episode '99) as a b-side.

Here's a great interview(s) on it http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Lobby/1117/duffsbeautif3.html

+ other info on it

Beautiful Disease (Geffen Records) is Duff McKagan`s first solo release since his departure from Guns N?Roses (one of his previous bands, 10 Minute Warning, re-formed and put out a self-titled EP on Sub Pop in June 1998).
While still a member of Guns, McKagan logged a side-project stint with hard rock supergroup The Neurotic Outsiders (featuring former GnR drummer Matt Sorum and ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones). More recently, he played gigs with 10 Minute Warning.
Beautiful Disease was co-produced by McKagan and Noel Golden (Sammy Hagar, Dakota Moon, Beth Hart). Recorded at McKagan?s L.A. home studio, it features contributions from former Guns axemen Slash and Izzy Stradlin, as well as Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin, Plexi guitarist Michael Barragan and jazz drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr.

The Album? is alternately serious and playful, furious and joyful, thunderous and tranquil. Says McKagan of the inspiration behind it :"To be really honest with yourself - I?d never done that. Once you start being a little bit honest, it get?s bigger. I began to appreciate the little things in life."

A lot was on Duff?s mind when he made "Beautiful Disease". Here?s the lowdown, in his own words:

[BluesGNR]

Awesome post.  Thanks for that.  I've got the advance master copy from Geffen.  Only very few leaked... awesome album! 

[way]

I love the song Missing You. It's about West Arkeen

[IzzyDutch]

^ Yeah me too, awesome song... just like Put You Back.

[Darkburst]

Where can I get my hands on some MP3's of this album?

 

[BluesGNR]

I wonder why noone ever asked me for the flacs... I'm the guy with the master copy 

[AxlsRoses]

Where can I get my hands on some MP3's of this album?

I was searching the forums at rosesofvelvet.com and found it there. do a search for it in some forums or on google. "missing you" and "whos to blame" are the best songs on there!  good luck.

[tomass74]

I never got this.. Is it worth it? I remeber hearing a couple clips back in the day.. After reading Duff's comments on all the songs, I am interested in getting it.

[IzzyDutch]

^ yeah it's worth it... some really cool songs on there. it's got Slash and Izzy on it aswell, the song "Put You Back" written by Izzy and him on electric slide on it is worth it alone

[Steve McKagan]

I wonder why noone ever asked me for the flacs... I'm the guy with the master copy?

Ok, could you please upload a lossless version, that would be sweet!

[BluesGNR]

Working on it.  Give me a day - it wont be posted in the forums for obvious reasons, but I have a feeling it may get around!

I never knew the songs were that in depth, thanks for posting this?
