2023.11.30 - AXS TV's Now Listen - Interview with Duff

Excerpts from Blabbermouth:
-------------------------------------

In a new interview with Katie Daryl of AXS TV's "Now Listen", Duff McKagan was asked to name his favorite Guns N' Roses songs to perform at various points of his life, including in 1987, in 2016 and in 2023. He said (as transcribed by Blabbermouth.net):

"My favorite song [to play in 1987 was] 'Rocket Queen', just because we found this groove and we found all these cool connector parts that put that song together. Axl wrote a really cool lyric for it, and it became this soaring kind of song. 'Appetite' was this little record we made that was gonna be for us and our friends and some rocker people that [were into us]… We were just going in and recording the songs that we wrote for ourselves and that some people in clubs really dug. So 'Rocket Queen' seemed this kind of next step, sort of next-level song, to me. So then you flash forward to 2016… I've always loved playing 'November Rain', 'cause it's just such a moment. Axl gets to sit down and you see all the lighters come out and Slash's solo is such a larger-than-life thing. [And now] I do like playing the few new songs we have — 'Hard Skool' and 'Absurd' and 'The General' and 'Perhaps'."
