DUFF McKAGAN - "Lemmy Will Instantly Start A Conversation About WWII"
November 15, 2012, 12 years ago
Bassist, vocalist, guitarist Duff McKagan (LOADED, VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) has penned his latest blog for Seattle Weekly's Reverb titled, This One's For The Road Dogs; an excerpt follows:
"As a traveling musician, I have been blessed with a modicum of durability in my career. I have met and stayed friends with a whole heap of people who have been out doing the same thing as me for a long time. We cross paths often, and whether it is another musician, guitar tech, bus driver, sound guy, or promoter, we all have developed a sort of road family. We understand the triumphs, and tragedies even, that have become an almost blase and everyday occurence in this field.Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD is one great example. He knows I am into history (I'm reading Battle of Britain on this most recent trip to the UK). Instead of talking music and distances between this town or that, Lemmy will instantly start a conversation about some WWII book he has read or some historical war factoid about whatever European city we happen to be in.
On a recent tour with ALICE COOPER, he and I spent more than a few hours talking about raising girl-children... in depth!"
