Hey aloha! Join me in the 2008 Interviews section starting in the second week of July for a brand new interview with Velvet Revolver’s Duff McKagan!
An original and crucial member of Guns N Roses from the beginning and lasting over 13 years with them, bassist Duff McKagan is in the hugely successful Velvet Revolver now, with fellow bandmates / ex-G N R members Matt Sorum and Slash. He has a very cool side-project called Loaded, which is getting some juice, especially via these creative webisodes about the making of their latest project. Recently, you may have also seen Duff in the news talking about the new Nutsie online music service, which is a new share and sync application he’s gotten behind. With the way file sharing and digital copying is impacting many industries (music, film, radio – take your pick), this is a pretty relevant topic. Another hot one: Scott Weiland’s departure from Velvet Revolver — you’ll hear about it from the inside. Did the way the Velvet Revolver tour ended, and Scott’s sudden reunion with Stone Temple Pilots, seem ironically timed? Perhaps, even convenient? Find out what he had to say on the Saga with STP and Scott.
Duff was a very cool guy to speak with, and you’ll be able to be part of our chat in a brand new interview coming in two weeks to my 2008 Interviews page. Look for an update here and on my blog when it’s posted.
