Duff McKagan on Velvet Revolver, Scott Weiland & Guns 'N' Roses (Part #2)

[@thejohnson9204]

This guy has done life right. Party and fun to the max while you are young, then as you age, gain wisdom and an appreciation for how good life is and what really matters in life. Duff is a boss.

[@philphillips240]

Well, he practically killed himself when he was young, partying, but he got his act together and is alive and able to talk about it. Thankfully….

[@thesummerland6165]

Duff's a good guy..miss Scotty so much

[@marcogarofalo6343]

Definitely the coolest member of gnr. So glad he didn't die.

[@guyfaux900]

I'm always glad when people don't die but try not to get too hung up on that because he IS in rock and roll and some point the Reaper comes a-callin for his royalties.

[@guyfaux900]

it is pretty amazing that with AR is such a cartoon character and Scott was so into the theatrical Duff is SO down to earth still.

I love the way how he explains Axl, how he was, specialy the way he says "he didn't give fuck" sound like he is still impress after all this years of how Axl was real and dangerous, a badass

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Totally!

[@thebordenasylum7726]

Say what you want about Axl...yes, he was a dick, and didn't exactly do a lot of things the way they should have been done, but the dude was a complete badass- great singer, extraordinary songwriter- an aura like no other.

[@AnthonyColomboAppliedMath]

the first rule of interviewing your idol is to RELAX. BREATHE AND RELAX. man....

[@RyanCrase1]

That was one of the hardest interviews I’ve ever watched. Poor Duff getting walked all over before he could even explain things.

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

He explained plenty of things ... this was an interview scheduled for twenty minutes that went for forty minutes because it was fun and he was up for it. He also let me interview him two more times the next year, and it was even more chill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Gbp5avZpJ9ntU I know you're used to a different style of interview, but these guys get asked the same questions over and over again so a different style is appreciated, even if I spoke too much. Also, why watch the whole thing if you hated it?

[@RyanCrase1]

The Void with Christina that’s good you had more Duff time. Easy to get caught up in the moment and try to lead a little. He’s a good pal, and a sweet guy.

[@beyondbeleef1013]

@@TheVoidwithChristina Your fooling yourself. She cut him off after almost every question and you can tell you have a little attitude about people pointing it out. That's on you. Learn your craft and learn that sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing

[@nineteen8122]

Who’s interviewing who here? 🤔

[@timscott4435]

Yeah so I am sure someone has already said it .The girl already STFU. Duff would just start to answer and Yappy would step all over him and start answering the question for him. Almost seems like she is on a stimulant. So damn frustrating.

[@robbbdog2294]

She's obviously stoked to be chatting with Duff! Stop criticising her enthusiasm. Great interview.

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Thank you! I know I was a bit too animated, everyone had been on the tour for six days and I'd been shooting all day and editing all night so had about a million coffees. But he seemed chilled and the whole interview went for 40 minutes, so if he hated the style of conversation it definitely would have ended earlier. Thanks for watching! :)

Duff seems to be having a good time and I like your interview style.

As a bass player I think Duff is underrated. His bass lines aren't the generic bass lines you hear in rock music. And his sound is different than most rock bass players

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Thank you so much! Honestly one of my favourites of all time. I was heaps tired and buzzed from travelling on the festival tour all week, and he was all excited and psyched from playing amazing shows all week ... such a mad vibe. So sick when people you have admired for a long time are as humble and funny and clever and open as this dude. Thanks for watching :)

Fkin losers

[@ronwell2976]

Class Act.

[@ryansharp4691]

I love Duff. Kinda like James Hetfied, i just have more & more respect for them... how, as they've aged, they've matured & become wiser in a very rock & roll way. They, remarkably, seem fairly humble and self-aware. And they seem grateful & appreciative of life, in general, and specifically of the lives they've gotten to live. Also, as a recovering junkie myself, getting to look at Duff's life arc, its inspiring to see how he was able to courageously weather the storm, come out the other side, and live a new type of life that's still full of excitement & passion, just without the substances. It's inspiring. Thanks for being somewhat of a role model, Duff, for someone that wants to stay clean & sober but doesn't want to be a lame-ass living a boring, dull life.

[@foloyndersson5487]

Are all her interviews like this? I feel tired after 5 minutes. My god

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

No, this is from seven years ago. I was fucking tired after a week on tour and had had 12 coffees. There's literally a billion hours of other shit you can watch. You just basically texted me to tell me that, so cheers.

[@Crooked_Rhyme]

He seems so nice and down to earth.

[@Mollys-lips]

Duff wearing a Claddagh ring instead of the boring plain wedding band, if you're Irish (even if ur not) you should wear it ,the hands represent forever friendship , the hands hold the heart which represent everlasting love &the crown sitting on top represents unwavering loyalty to your partner. They're given (traditionally)as a "I'm in a relationship"promise ring, then as your engagement ring then ur wedding ring, to me they're the most symbolic piece of jewellery u can give someone or receive .I hv a 22ct yellow gold one with a diamond set in the centre of the heart ,so beautiful so thoughtful. U don't hv to be in a relationship to wear 1 ,they're timeless. I don't think there's a more beautiful piece of jewellery out there (I mean of known styles not one off pieces obviously)thank you to my honey fr mine, bought in Claddagh in Galway brought bck to Dublin fr me, go get ur selves 1 fr that special someone or just fr u. They've been given in Ireland fr centuries. Love Celtic design ,love my Ireland ,love my man💘💍🍀🔐

[@TheVoidwithChristina]

Awesome, so cool to learn the epic story behind something I know nothing about. Sending mad love to you and yours. Also, always happy to meet people like Duff who are so clearly still in love with their partner. Nice that he's expressing it in this cool creative way also. :)

Yeah, blame drugs for everything. Without it we wouldn’t have half the kickass music we’ve had. Sad but true. Very few bands peak creatively without plunging the depths of despair through excessive lifestyle choices. It’s the old “double edged sword” thingy. There’s a handful of bands that have made it big totally sober. Rush is one of those bands. Not too many though. It is was it is. Scott’s not the first, nor will he be the last. It’s just Rock n Roll. You can say “that’s stupid” all you want. Denial is easy. The “Truth”, well..... that’s a whole lotta hard. RIP Scott

I am really getting sick of this ridiculous assertion. I'd slept about ten hours in a week on a giant festival tour with 70 bands and an expectation to produce an immense amount of video content where I was in every shoot and every edit. I'd had about a billion cups of coffee and was pretty wired on that at this point ... but I don't do drugs and just being pretty animated isn't actually an indication of being some degenerate wasted at work.

Not to mention my wife has not recovered from an aneurysm and 2 strokes since then. This the end. She knew she sufferd until the end. just me experience. Now my Wife is suffering.
