Duff McKagan continues to insist that he inspired The Simpsons’ Duff Beer. “So I was Duff, the King of Beers,” the Guns N’ Roses bassist explained to Stereogum. “But this is 1988, 1989 and our management, I remember they called me and said some arthouse-like cartoon wants to use your name as the beer, like a college arthouse cartoon. There weren’t any adult cartoons at this point.” McKagan agreed and initially didn’t think much of it. “I didn’t know about branding or anything like that, but that show took off,” he explained. “And then they started selling merch and stuff. I never went after hi...

Duff McKagan has detailed the conflicting feelings he experienced following the success of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child o’ Mine.” The single, released in 1988, became GNR’s first No. 1 hit. In a conversation with Stereogum, McKagan recalled how strange things felt at the time. “It was kind of mind fucking blowing,” the bassist admitted. “You go through life, nobody recognizes you in a grocery store, why would they? And then suddenly, people are looking at you at the grocery store, because you’re on the cover of Rolling Stone, where they have the magazines right by the checkout stands. And you’r...

Guns N’ Roses have been involved in their share of drama over the years, so keep reading to see their five most insulting diss tracks. Back in the late ’80s, Guns became known as “America’s most dangerous band.” Led by fiery vocalist Axl Rose, the then-quintet had developed quite a reputation. It’s no surprise that some of that anger and attitude made it into their music. The rockers have only put out a handful of really delicate, loving and happy songs, such as “Patience,” “Yesterdays,” “Think About You” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Instead, many of them are about breakups, dealing with the per...

According to Slash, Guns N’ Roses are at work on a new album and he’s involved in the process. “Guns N’ Roses are trying to make their own record,” the guitarist recently explained to the Daily Star (via NME) when asked about why people like Axl Rose or his Conspirators collaborator Myles Kennedy did not appear on his new solo album, Orgy of the Damned, released on May 17. “And I’m working with them in that capacity, but this [solo album] didn’t involve anyone else. It was my own side thing, so I wasn’t dragging my own guys in.” Orgy of the Damned did, however, feature a number of other guests...

Slash gave fans at Budapest’s MVM Dome a special treat on Friday, dusting off the Guns N’ Roses deep cut “Perfect Crime” for the first time with his solo band. You can watch the performance below. Bassist Todd Kerns handled lead vocals on the high-speed Use Your Illusion I rocker, approximating Axl Rose‘s alley-cat howl with ease. It’s one of several GN’R deep cuts that Slash has revived on his current tour with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, along with the Illusion tracks “Don’t Damn Me” and “Bad Apples,” both of which Kerns also sings. Guns N’ Roses themselves haven’t performed “Perfect...

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has launched his own official website. This is Rose’s very first website that isn’t associated with the Guns N’ Roses name, so it’s unclear what the page means. The homepage features a few draggable photos of the singer and video clips in the background, with his name and a quote that reads, “You gotta live to learn and run, or you’ll die trying.” The “About” section at officialaxlrose.com reads, “Unmistakeable vocal style, he has carved out a legendary status in the rock history,” with a brief biography underneath about his career with GN’R. There’s also a “New...

Rockikone Slash (58) von Guns N' Roses probiert in der Musik gern unterschiedliche Sachen aus. Was andere davon halten, ist dem Gitarristen, der nun in der Formation Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators (SMKC) in Deutschland auf Tournee ist, nach eigenem Bekunden egal. «Es hat mich nie gekümmert», sagte Slash der dpa in London. «Ich mache mein Ding, und entweder es gefällt den Leuten oder nicht.» Sein Musikgeschmack sei vielfältig, erzählte der Gitarren-Virtuose, der am 17. Mai erstmals ein Blues-Album («Orgy Of The Damned») mit vielen Gaststars veröffentlicht. «In der Musik gefa...

In a new post on social media, Nikki Sixx said that a Motley Crue tour with Guns N’ Roses was on the table, but it didn’t work out, at least for now. Of course, the bands did tour together once upon a time. Both hailing from Los Angeles, Guns N’ Roses came along a couple of years after Motley Crue’s debut Too Fast for Love came out in 1981. Thus, Crue were one of the bands Guns opened for when they were touring in support of their 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction. Both groups had a bit of a rough relationship in the years that followed that tour, mainly due to a spat Izzy Stradlin had with ...
