GUNS N' ROSES Bassist DUFF McKAGAN Talks New Solo Album Lighthouse - "Writing Mode Is Kind Of A Constant Thing"

In the video below, Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan sits down with Katie Daryl of AXS TV on Now Listen to dive into the creation of his new solo album Lighthouse. Explore the themes, the making of the album, and discover Duff's all-time favorite songs to perform throughout his incredible career.

Duff McKagan is a great American songwriter. His extraordinary 40-year musical journey has taken him from tiny punk clubs to sold-out world stadium tours. Along the way he’s become a founding member of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver and has most recently collaborated with legends including Ozzy Osbourne and Iggy Pop, and has produced a versatile catalogue of solo material.

McKagan’s new album, Lighthouse, is a homespun, heartfelt celebration of life in the round. It’s the first full selection from a session of more than 60 songs McKagan recorded at his studio in Seattle between 2019 and 2022. By turns personal and philosophical, intimate and anthemic, the album captures the essence of McKagan’s four decades at the beating heart of American music.
