Quotes:

When we arrived at the O2 arena, everyone there made us feel welcome, and that went a long way toward making it an enjoyable experience. I had always wondered what it would be like to see this band called Guns N' Roses from anywhere but the stage. The guys in Axl's current band are great players and good fucking guys. I'd had a chance to hang out with a few of them in other contexts over the years. And I'd been a fan of the guy who replaced me on bass - Tommy Stinson - for decades. He was an original member of the legendary The Replacements, underground heroes of the 1980s. I must say I had a blast watching them all at the O2 arena - and the band played awesome. Then, during the encore, they hauled me out to play "You Could Be Mine," a song I hadn't played since the Use Your Illusion tour. I heard the crowd of 14,000 gasp and then go crazy when I emerged from the side of the stage and Tommy handed me his bass. Then I kind of forgot about one of the bridges in the song. Oops. At least Axl sounded good. A little later I had the chance to go onstage and play along with "Patience" [Duff's autobiography, "It's So Easy", 2011, p. 358.]
