Duff McKagen is arguably the most humble member of Guns n Roses. He is truthful, sincere, speaks with dignity and has absolutely no arrogance at all. He is a pure "good person" in today's society of swindlers and con artists. We need more people like Duff McKagen who tell it as it is and are not afraid to admit their flaws.

Everyone who is into rock should read his autobiography "It's So Easy." This interviewer is typically British in that they have the Rupert Murdoch school of journalism which is too focus on the sordid, in particular sex and drugs and put people down unless they are "establishment. As sated by other people she keeps interrupting Duff and after he is candidly honest she keeps bringing up the past. Like all Brits they envy wealth and there seems to be some hidden spite in her approach. It is obvious she is used to interviewing British parliamentarians who lie about everything, The whole interview is negatively framed and she focusses and re-focusses on the negative. Misogyny - why bring it up. That's all she can focus on the lyrics to "It's So Easy." He admits that when he wrote It's So easy the song he was uneducated and driven by "survival." Most of the people he grew up with In LA are dead from overdoses. Why focus on the so called misogyny repeatedly when he was starving, addicted to drugs and alcohol. Notably it was Nirvana who told traditional rock fans that homophobia, misogyny and bigotry was uncool. Duff succinctly tells her that he was not making a political statement but rather living a rock and roll lifestyle. Duff loves raw punk and lived the lifestyle he could at the time.Would she ask Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page and Rod Stewart the same questions. The answer is a resounding 'NO'" .

She's making assumptive statements based on what she IMAGINES it must've been like for someone so deep in the thick of addiction. But there's a lot of shorthand in the music business that doesn't apply to a conventional addiction story. Factors, influences, motivators, are very unique to musicians caught in addiction. He was trying to explain to her the ACTUALITY of his situation which, as a musician, rang true for me. But she kept reverting to her preconceived "well it must've been this, or that...". His pauses show that he's looking at her wondering: "What are you on about?" But when he tries to clue her in, she's not receptive to it. She has no concept of it, first hand, so she doesn't get it.

+plutorama What you say is all true. If she had first hand experience of what their lives were like back in the day then I guess she wouldn't have a job working at BBC. But she isn't there to empathize with him. She's there to question him. It's still a good interview though! Rock on!

I'm not a GNR fan, but very impressed with this. Duff is so articulate and self aware. Nice guy.

He's being judged by this woman, i don't think he came there to confess his "sins".
