Duff McKagan Impressed With Current Guns N' Roses

04/20/2011
. (Gibson) Last October, Duff McKagan made headlines by joining former bandmate Axl Rose and the latest version of Guns N' Roses onstage in London. The reunion, which only lasted four songs, set off a firestorm of speculation that the event might set in motion a reunion of the original GN'R lineup�speculation McKagan quickly dismissed. Still, the Loaded bassist says it felt good to get back together with an old friend.

"The cool thing about that," McKagan told Music-News.com, "was Axl and I got to reconnect. We're grown-ups, you know. There's been a lot silliness. Lawyers and (expletive). You know, lawyers like to create a situation so that their jobs go on. And I know that. But it was just nice to reconnect. We had a nice dinner. That was much more important to me than actually getting up and playing."

McKagan was impressed, though, with his old group's current lineup. "It was fun playing with those guys," he said. "There are some really good players in that band." more on this story
