Axl did sometimes have volatile actions, but I knew that guy as a whole - all the good stuff, too.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
It's volatile with GNR. Every night, it's anarchy on stage. Who knows what's gonna happen? That's rock n' roll, man.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
You can't mass produce somebody's heart and soul. It's a very delicate thing.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
We wrote the songs we wrote - we took from our own experiences, melded it together, and wrote what became 'Appetite For Destruction.'
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Music was going to be my thing. Was I going to make a living at it? That was kind of a joke. It was just my passion, and if I was broke doing my passion, so be it.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I read Slash's book because we were on the road together with Velvet Revolver when that came out.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I have a teenage daughter and a 10-year-old daughter. Things are pink and fluffy at my house, with two little dogs. It's pretty funny to be me now. And I'm in on the joke that is my life.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Three weeks into being in Hollywood, I was playing with Slash through an ad in the paper.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Everybody in Seattle thought I was the chosen one, musically wise. You know, if anyone was going to make it, it was going to be that guy.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Sometimes, when you get into a record, it's like writing a book, and you get so far inside the story you can't tell anymore if it's gonna be good to an outside listener.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
It's a modern world we live in, with everything at our fingertips, and if it's not at our fingertips, you can dot-com anything.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
When you know you have a good song, when you're onstage, even if it's just a weird, basic energy, you know your song is good.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I've been very fortunate. But rich? People make huge assumptions about the guys in Gn'R.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Writing's another expression of art, really, that I'm just kind of discovering as I go.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Personally, I had made a good amount of dough for a 30-year-old guy, but I didn't know a thing about money. I'm not a dumb guy, but I couldn't figure them out.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I'm a book nerd, and I've seen authors that I love, I've gone and seen them speak or read from a book.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I had a column for the 'Seattle Weekly' for five years, and there was one column that was called 'How To Be A Man,' and it was kind of tongue in cheek; it was really tongue in cheek. And I got a book deal from that column.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
One of my first memories is marching with my mom. I was in kindergarten with with the Catholic ladies when Martin Luther King Jr. got shot. We wore the black armbands and marched downtown.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I learned, by the time I was twenty, I'm not gonna die from a panic attack; you feel like you're going to.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I've had a panic disorder since I was sixteen, and they always said that's a subset of depression. And I'm like, 'I don't have depression.'
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I have panic attacks here and there, like in the weirdest places ever, and I've learned to deal with them.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I have always been a huge sports fan, but more of the pedestrian and 'homer' sort.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I don't know where I'm rated. I don't pay attention to that. I'm really so just all into my craft. It's not a contest. I try to play the best.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Any musician in any band - for a really good band - you know your part in the band.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
By the time Guns n' Roses spent 28 months from 1991 to 1993 touring the 'Use Your Illusion' albums, the tour staff sometimes approached 100 people. We were carrying not only backup girl singers, a horn section, and an extra keyboard player, but also chiropractors, masseuses, a singing coach, and a tattoo artist.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
When you're a musician, you are around your peers a lot, like Slipknot and Alice In Chains... you name the band. We're all just kind of friends.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that important to me? No. Is it something I've aspired towards? No.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I don't have resentments towards anyone I played with or to the guy who bullied me in the sixth grade. I've worked through it.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
One of the first 45s I ever bought was the Stooges' 'I Got a Right.' Probably one of my favorite singles, ever.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
Playing with Iggy pulled me back in for a while and reminded me of what I love about music.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I saw the Clash in '79 at the Paramount in Seattle, and it changed my whole life.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I started playing in punk-rock bands and touring when I was 15, so I missed high school.
Quote by -Duff McKagan
'The Joshua Tree' was the soundtrack of my life when we were making 'Appetite.'
Quote by -Duff McKagan
I saw some really amazing stuff with Axl. We worked really well together. We were good friends. And I hope to perhaps have that friendship back one day, although it's not something I wait around for.
