Duff McKagan and Steve Jones Perform "Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" | Jonesy's Jukebox

[@rudytaneloruxy9491]

Duffs vocals sound pretty dam good.

[@macchina13]

have you heard "so fine"? he kix ass!

[@x_mau9355]

why do u have my same pic?

[@nattyboyo2404]

Exactly what I thought. I don't think he normally has that strong a voice, but this was spot on. This song could've been made for him.

[@cyrus1357]

Rudy Tanelo Ruxy he sang killer back vocals in GnR

[@georgeross7531]

Rudy Tanelo Ruxy Good.... fuckin terrible more like it

[@stephanyjane]

Johnny doesn't get the love he always deserved 😤 🥺 I fuqing love this 😭 💗💔

[@oldfriend327]

The "Spaghetti Incident" album is one of the most underrated hard rock albums ever. I still love that cover album. GNR completely turned those songs into unique and original material.

[@likkidixx]

Well I hated it as a kid, but it's grown on me through the years

[@davidmellish3295]

I can't agree with that statement with regards to this song,I think the guns cover is VERY similar to the original. I don't think they changed it in any way really, just a straight cover

[@mikaelcardell194]

the boocklet or whatever its called for that album said something like "go out there and find the songs yourself" so we did. Man, I found some of my now favorite bands there. Thank you Guns N Roses!

[@johnnyandersson5622]

Well,... Aint it fun at full volume in my sons car with two 12", eight 8", two 6x9" and four 6,5" speakers usually put tears in my eyes.

[@peterdaigle7249]

RIP Johnny. That was a nice rendition.

[@sovaine]

Cheers lads for keeping the good things about Johnny Thunders alive...I can assure people will still be listening to Johnny in 25 years time...cannot say the same about Green day etc.

[@chrislecompte4694]

Duff is no joke! Excellent version. RIP Mr Thunders

[@hjrr6471]

His voice never gets old mysteriously.

[@chalkbunt81]

" This one's for you Johnny".

[@jamesbutler8643]

Duff sings this amazingly

[@roverp5car]

This one's for you johnny....and nearly seven years wife, i still miss you every day. This song brings me to tears everytime.

[@revol148]

always had as soft spot for Duff - he always came across as a more thoughtful member of Guns'n'Roses

[@mikerusty7703]

I was on an Amtrak train back in 2008 travelling to Buffalo from Chicago sitting opposite a retired couple. They'd been neighbours of Duff's family and said he was a lovely guy.

[@ruiplas]

Duff is the most well educated member in GnR, dude went back to school after the crazy rock star life.

[@PedroYippeekayaye]

Slash is the thoughtful sensitive type aswell.

[@likkidixx]

He's not stupid and has his heart at the right place.

[@revol148]

@@likkidixx totally agree - the lyrics to Sweet child of mine is evidence enough of the literate intelligence of Axl Rose and one of Duffs favourite books was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair which is fine by me !

[@Isaiflamand]

This one is for my friend who decided that life was not worth to live anymore. I miss you every day buddy

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Just had a GNR "Patience" flashback with Duff counting off followed by acoustics playing.. Good on you gents

[@andremesquita9317]

Bodyknowledge 77 The guitar he is using has exactly the same tone. I dont doubt its the same guitar 30 years after...

[@afrocoolio25]

Nope. Duff used a Guild when he was in GnR. That looks like a Gibson B-25, presumably from the mid-60s. I would guess a '66 or '67 - they sound amazing but they really didn't sell too great so they are moderately rare.

[@revolutionday1]

Fuckin'~A!

[@rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543]

two fucking legends jamming together! And what a bloody decent tribute to our Johnny!

[@bobgreene498]

I was lucky to see Matt, Duff, John Taylor and Steve Jones At the El Corazón in Seattle as the neurotic outsiders

[@jedijud]

Duff covered this on the spegethti incident for all them young pups out there

[@casimiromachanguana7974]

Crack

[@freethis222]

Who took the jam out of your donut?

[@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825]

I'd be surprised if any of these "die-hard" fans knew whose song it is originally.

[@armoredmetalhead1257]

Yea ...youre right man...learn young pups

[@armoredmetalhead1257]

@@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825 Jonesy just said it man...no worries we know who did..

[@kilid.9161]

I love duffs voice! Its pure punk but a little more refined.

[@DeVonZeal]

I died and I'm in heaven. Such beautiful rendition...

[@CelestialWoodway]

Exaggerate much?

World's coolest accountant. Thanks for popularizing the original version Duff.

[@dimitrakarag2546]

I just LOVE his voice.God,I could hear him singing for the rest of my life!

[@florianhoffarth8309]

Impossible not to love Duff!

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

Duff gave Johnny Thunders the best tribute with So Fine on Illusions 2 and Memory on Spaghetti Incident!

[@Jackcapaudio]

Never actually heard the original but grew up listening to this via GnR, loved it for so many years, awesome work Duff,

[@rocknjbindad3707]

A stone cold classic. A hear a little bit of Eve of destruction on the intro.

[@paulnerval7632]

What a great tune. Duff and Steve sure do it justice!

[@DavidFournet-p2o]

Duff is great person,musician..... respect man!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘,he play... he's rock n'Roll

[@sylvianikolaus9673]

I love this song. Espacially sung by Duff and Steve Jones. There is so much history in it.

[@alrightspider9930]

Great musical communication between these two. So much experience.

[@JPo.404]

Did Mr.Thunders justice... Love it

[@sarahbarnett8312]

Duff sounds awesome. Not much different sounding then when he recorded it on Spaghetti Incident.

[@MikeyRo]

Duff sings the ever loving shit out of this song!!!

[@TeddScheckler]

Great vocals and love the melody picking by Steve.

[@ustheserfs]

Both these man have my unreserved admiration

[@pablomanrique]

such a beautiful song, such a great performance

[@ricky8188]

Jonsey accentuates the notes beautifully. From 'bodies' to this in about 40 yrs. Steve and Duff 🇮🇪 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

[@azulsinleyRC]

❤❤❤❤❤ la voz de Duff es perfecta, sobre todo para esta canción

[@gbones99]

Duff's autobiography is phenomenal, its a must read if ya love GnR and especially if you enjoy punk.

[@natagapik8642]

thank you so much

[@LeszekSlowinski]

If it weren't for Duff, GnR wouldn't exist. He was _spiritus movens_ of the band. Do not forget it.

[@jingalls9142]

I like Duff as much as I dislike Asshole..Axel!!

I was lucky to see Matt, Duff, John Taylor and Steve Jones

Very cool ! I would have loved to see Johnny survive himself

[@MaloneysDigest]

This is an awesome video. Great cover. Duffs the man.

[@mikaelekstrom4333]

I met Johnny back in the 80s in Sweden. Billy Rath Syl Sylvain Jerry Nolan was there to. He was great. The gig stsrted with Elmer Bernstein "Man with the golden arm" intro. Then come the band out and Pipeline was played. Se the movie. Framk Sinatra is great.

[@elevatordan6082]

Fantastic!

​@DuffMckagan--😊 well from down under at the moment ❤. Admire your inspiring interview clips & singing always beyond bass. Will keep coming back for more. Amen.

[@amandeepnagpal129]

@DuffMckagan-- Thanks for reaching out, how can I support pls let me know ✨. Cheers.

[@rollacoastaride1937]

that was cool, very heartwarming to see Jonsey playing lead, he's always been a bit of a dark horse on lead solos, good stuff, or should I say "Good Duff", btw, why let Axle ever do vocals in the first place????

[@mikebrown8577]

What do you mean "dark horse"? His leads were simple in the Pistols days but great and he's just gotten better since then. He's not a guy who's going to solo for 10 minutes or try to melt any faces but his leads always suit the song and sound great.

[@fredcollierfinishingtouche6701]

Rolla Coasta Ride I don’t get? He didn’t? Wtf

[@austinraftery6957]

This is just a beautiful version. I far prefer this acoustically

[@ittybitty6474]

Beautiful...

[@nelsonjosuefernandezsolano5409]

Johnny Thunders should be proud of you Duff and Steve.

[@marchechter5047]

add on ...thats a fun cover.. well done duff & steve jones... fun cover.. .works. I know the guns cover album, but i thought its like a one off covering whatever crossed their minds, but covering thunders, respect.

[@karynsheer4304]

Love this version. More polished than the original.. Duff's singing is flawless!

[@javatimeline]

[Verse 1] It doesn't pay to try All the smart boys know why It doesn't mean I didn't try I just never know why Feel so cold and all alone 'Cause baby, you're not at home And when I'm home Big deal, I'm still alone [Verse 2] Feel so restless, I am Beat my head against a pole Try to knock some sense Down in my bones And even though they don't show The scars aren't so old And when they go They let you know [Chorus] You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try [Verse 3] You're just a bastard kid And you got no name Cause you're living with me We're one and the same And even though they don't show The scars aren't so old And when they go They let you know [Chorus] You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try

Duff is a key off guns N roses.is a salt gnr. Thanks Duff youre the master

[@Mikee535]

this is tuned down a half step and Duff is singing some different notes in the melody. I don;t know what everyone is raving about here if it were 2 unknown musicians people would say it sucked. they make quite a few mistakes to boot.

[@glasgowisblue5366]

Great vocals.

HELL YES. :-) xxx
