Q: Duff, am I allowed to ask if Guns N' Roses are going to do a new album?

Duff: You're allowed to ask whatever. I mean, there's things that have happened and more things to happen. So I think you'll see - that question will be answered soon enough.

I hope Duff means it more like I do.

Excerpts from Far Out:
--------------------------

Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan has recalled how Iggy Pop came to his aid as a teenager during a negative experience on psychedelic drugs.

At the time, McKagan was an ordinary 14-year-old, and Iggy could never have predicted how his show would inadvertently play its part in rock history. Nevertheless, it proved to be a poignant moment for McKagan. He was in a world of struggle after taking a dangerous substance before the brilliance on show by the former frontman of The Stooges brought him back to life.

McKagan made the revelation during a new episode of the Rockonteurs podcast, hosted by Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp and esteemed session musician Guy Pratt, who also performs with Kemp in Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets.

The bassist told the two musical hosts: “Iggy Pop got me through a bad mushroom trip. I went to an Iggy show way too high on mushrooms, thinking I was going to have to go to the hospital, freaking out.”

Before Iggy took to the stage, McKagan was in another universe, but when Pop started playing, his external fears immediately dissipated. The bassist left the building in utter awe of the iconic rock ‘n’ roll singer.

McKagan continued: “I just watched Iggy the whole, just tripping way too much on psychedelics. But he brought me down. And I was already a big Iggy fan, but then I was like, he means more to me. He’s a waypoint for me in my life.”
