Duff McKagan Reuniting With GUNS N' ROSES To "Help Axl Out", Says Tommy Stinson
April 1, 2014, 10 years ago
Billboard.com is reporting that bassist Duff McKagan is rejoining GUNS N’ ROSES for five shows in South America because current bassist Tommy Stinson will be on tour with THE REPLACEMENTS.
“I had those Replacement shows come up the same time the (South American) tour came up, and it got to be a scheduling issue right out of the gate," Stinson tells Billboard. "I didn't want to fuck anyone up in Guns by saying, 'Hey, I can't do this tour' or anything like that. Luckily someone was able to reach out to Duff and he was amenable to the idea and was into doing it. It's Duff being the kind of good sport he is, trying to help Axl (Rose) out. So I'm like, 'Thanks dude, for covering my ass on this one.' I think people are gonna be really stoked about it. It's gonna be fun for everyone."
