It’s So Easy And Other Lies | Full Duff McKagan Documentary | Guns N' Roses

[@wwinky99]

My stepdad was a tour bus driver for so many incredible bands back in the 80s. He had worked in the rock n roll business since the 70s. He could handle any kind of situation as you can imagine being on the road with all these different bands. There was only one band he said was so rowdy even on the bus that made it dangerous. He came home from that tour and said “I will never again drive for Motley Crue!”

My first concert (Junior in High School) was GnR opening for Iron Maiden on the "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" tour. The show was in Seattle and my Step-Dad dropped off my best friend and I at a hotel near the stadium located at Seattle Center. Our first choice of hotel was vetoed by him, as it was the hotel GnR was staying at. Consolation prize was a 6-pack of beer. It was a big stadium type show. We waited for the lights to drop and when they did, total mayhem! We rushed to the front and witnessed greatness. GnR had not quite blown-up yet. That would happen a couple months later during the Summer. Axl stopped the show and introduced Duff to the crowd. Proclaiming his Seattle heritage and that it was his birthday that night. I was hooked for life.

CLOSING WITH JOHNNY THUNDERS cover!!! Just as amazing as the book!!! I had a SEVERE case of pneumonia and had said Duff on Dr.Philgood doing his press for the book. My ma asked me "is there any book or anything you'd like while stuck in here?" I said Duff's book! It's so Easy and other lies! Was a GREAT BOOK to have after a near fatal sickness almost took me out!

So cool. This really takes me back to Seattle 81'-83' hanging on "the ave" at 12-14 years old. We didn't believe in "rockstars" back then (still don't) but I admit to being a little starstruck by dudes like Duff, Slats from the Silly Killers and Blaine Cook. They were cool guys and were never assholes about being in the cool bands. I wasn't the least bit surprised when Duff went to the top with GnR, he had the dedication, the look and the talent, glad he survived it all and is here to tell the tale! Much love and respect to you Duff.

The debut Guns & Roses record was one of the bright moments in music for me as a singing drummer. Music was great in the 80s...Def Leppard/Motley Crue/RATT/RUSH/Ozzy/Van Halen etc...but it also took a very bizarre and frightening turn too...and it seemed to me like the dreaded DISCO NIGHTMARE was trying to creep back in in disguise to destroy us. If you don`t understand this look at some random Top 40 from back then!

Whiskey put me in the hospital at age 18 in 1983 with internal bleeding. After 2 weeks a doctor whispered, "You`ll die if you don`t get out of here and find some marijuana to stop the nausea." I was throwing up everything, even water, and lots of blood and had lost 35 pounds and I was a tall skinny guy. A few years later I was sentenced to jail for possession. Freedom? HA! Not in Louisiana! The police here will bury your rights right in the nearest landfill!

[@dynjarren8355]

The irony is that Duff moved to LA to make it as a Rocker and joined Guns N Roses. He became rich and famous with them and then the scene he left back in Seattle exploded with the Grunge scene that made his band Guns n Roses uncool. Because Grunge made the big Hair bands from LA look passé suddenly. And Cobain hated Axel Rose because he thought he was racist and sexist. Despite the hard rock of their debut album, Cobain didn’t like Axel Rose. They never got along well.

Genre rules and restrictions, no fun. I love an old quote by Miles Davis, in which he dismisses the category “jazz”. To him it was just music. Two categories~ is it good, or bad. I just go by whether or not I like, or love, IT. Other than that, who gives a shit?🗝🎶

[@tonyn5055]

Slash says he was a gritty street type. That's false. Dude is from Beverly Hills? Also I disagree with Duff and the AA model all together. If you tell yourself once an addict always an addict, then you're right. Same goes with telling yourself you are not an addict anymore. Negative affirmations are your worst enemies. They are never your best friend. I absolutely refuse to call myself anything negative just because AA says to... It's only the truth if you believe it. It's been working great for me for over 10 years now. I tried the AA paradigm for many years. And I kept failing, for many years. Now I'm doing great. AA people call us Dry Drunks? They refuse to accept calling yourself an addict or alcoholic is part of the problem. They even told me I wasn't truly sober? Said I was a dry drunk now. I do respect Duff and his musical abilities. The road to recovery could have been shorter had we just believed in ourselves...I consider myself recovered now. Not recovering...

@DelilaSloan yeah ,any hits,any decent riffs, any new charts? no . if you or I were that rich probably we would be even recording our farts and call them music. sadly all these guys sacrificed themselves to alcohol and drugs,and rockm roll, and talk about it for far more than their actually very short careers. this is the truth. you and me comes last. we pay still for shkws. listen to drug induced puking stories,er dying legends etc. what. a shame. if you look in actual gnr phase it's ended in 93.
