My stepdad was a tour bus driver for so many incredible bands back in the 80s. He had worked in the rock n roll business since the 70s. He could handle any kind of situation as you can imagine being on the road with all these different bands. There was only one band he said was so rowdy even on the bus that made it dangerous. He came home from that tour and said “I will never again drive for Motley Crue!”
He couldn't handle the bjs and drugs
@@thedonofthsht76-58 😆
that's cool and funny at the end about the Crue story that would be a cool job to have back then so thanks for sharing ROCK ON 🎸
@@rayfabris2512 thanks. I had an interesting childhood and went to lots of concerts.
that's great stay cool remember those memories ✌ my friend
So moving, Duff!
I wish I’d have found this earlier.
I have such respect for each and every addict who finds some way to survive, let alone thrive like Duff has done. Good for you sir!
i been sober for 17 years i love the come back story
I cried 😢
9 years for me. I remember seeing this documentary around the 3rd or 4th year of sobriety and it made me look at things differently. I'm happy now.
My first concert (Junior in High School) was GnR opening for Iron Maiden on the "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" tour. The show was in Seattle and my Step-Dad dropped off my best friend and I at a hotel near the stadium located at Seattle Center. Our first choice of hotel was vetoed by him, as it was the hotel GnR was staying at. Consolation prize was a 6-pack of beer. It was a big stadium type show. We waited for the lights to drop and when they did, total mayhem! We rushed to the front and witnessed greatness. GnR had not quite blown-up yet. That would happen a couple months later during the Summer. Axl stopped the show and introduced Duff to the crowd. Proclaiming his Seattle heritage and that it was his birthday that night. I was hooked for life.
Great time u witnessed id kill to see guns at that point they were special Live especially with the real Guns IZZY AXL SLASH DUFF N STEVEN
By the time they rolled into Sacramento (had to be the first week of June cuz I got the tickets for my birthday) GnR was having some sort of issue. They didn't play. Iron Maiden made up for it by playing extra long. So GnR was a huge disappointment that night.
@ damn…😭. That is a shame
Me too! But in Spokane at the Colesium! I snuck in a camera and still have the pictures! I was 17! ❤❤❤
Panic attacks ruined my teens & 20's. The only thing that kept them at bay was alcohol which just made life more chaotic. I know exactly what Duff is talking about.
Try that shit in your 40s after a divorce of 15 yrs of marriage & 2 kids
@@Solar-Busterssome brutal WAKE up calls ARE said in this. Like ONCE you have that in you. It doesn't go away....😢😢😮😮
@Solar-Busters it works the same. As long as you don’t mistake chicken nuggets for food
CLOSING WITH JOHNNY THUNDERS cover!!!
Just as amazing as the book!!!
I had a SEVERE case of pneumonia and had said Duff on Dr.Philgood doing his press for the book.
My ma asked me "is there any book or anything you'd like while stuck in here?"
I said
Duff's book!
It's so Easy and other lies!
Was a GREAT BOOK to have after a near fatal sickness almost took me out!
I was 12 yrs old when I saw Motley Crue & Guns n Roses tour in ‘88 & at first we were like who is this band & by the end of their set we were fans! So cool to see them on the come up then make it big 🎉 Congrats on everything you have accomplished, you came out on the other side healthy & sober. Much love 😎🎉
This is a great find. Stumbling across this is like an unexpected present
Most definitely ❤
No doubt you have made your whole family proud, you seem like one of the good ones.
I’ve seen Duff twice with GnR and once with Velvet Revolver. I read ‘ It’s So Easy &’ when it was first released and thought that I couldn’t admire Duff anymore than I already- I stand corrected. Heartfelt❤.
he's one of my inspiration during my high-school days back in 90s and now I'm a bassist. ✌
I met Duff Once in an elevator at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt.Pleasant Michigan back during the Velvet revolver days..had to be close to 20 some years ago now..I totally freaked out..but he was such a nice guy and didnt mind..It is still to this day one of the coolest things that ever happened to me..
I have a place on School Section Lake West of there.😊
Duff es una increíble persona !!! Siempre mejorando la vida de los demás con su personalidad y actitud ,es el punk más rockeramente respetable !!!! Saludos Mr ,Duff Mckagan
Wow, amazing. I would love to see him perform this live. This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. I have known a lot of Duff's story for a long time but I learned a lot of new things here. Excellent work on this show.
I wish they would bring Steven back in on the drums. Nobody plays like him and he was a big part of that GnR sound
Steven Adler's drumming was a huge part of Appetite's debut success.
. They sounded like a garage band with extra good equipment 🤔
What, 35 years ago? How old are these guys? Highly unlikely they have a hit album recapturing any sort of long gone chemistry of days gone by amongst the original members, c'mon. I understand the nostalgia of good times, doesn't mean I wanna see Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt, and Jackie Stewart as my driver lineup in this years 24 hours of LeMans...
@@carlsaganlives5112 Tell that to the Stones.
@@dantequick8678 Fair enough, although personally I put the Stones body of work slightly more extensive..
Wow!!! It's amazing the way you told this story of your life so far...you are truly amazing...sometimes all a person needs is a second chance, and people who truly love them!!! This was so cool!!!!
Wow duff thank you for being you and having the nutzz to share so much of that
Amazing!! Duff is a living legend.. a force of good out of the most evil hell he came back to bring soul and light to us!
This is the BEST documentary I've seen in years. ❤❤❤
I thought this was extremely well produced and nicely done!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Your story is honest. Success and failure is true life. I am happy you're still amongst us. No doubt your story will help others.
There is no greater honor than being a father, especially to a daughter.
guns literally saved me and got me through hard toimes saved my life love ya duff man ax slash all of you
This is a really good watch! ❤❤ So glad I came across it. Duff is awesome, so humble, so layed back. ❤
Great doc,loved the stories told with the unplugged music in the background!
I actually own a set of Steven's Black Pearl Drumsets!!!
My uncle had a drummer that grew up with him and was really good friends with him!
Got Steven Adlers drums and the drummer from RATT... I have a set of his sticks!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻
They need to get the original lineup back together! Steven and Izzy
A bolt Bass Guitar player!!! he shared it I'll take it. 🤘💪🔥
From A Fan of all Your work and A recovering Alcholic, Rocking thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Keep Rocking.
Good for you Duff! The homecoming theme one year in high school was Welcome To The Jungle. GNR was my generation's Rolling Stones.
A evening with duff and partial memories.
That steel slide is so amazing 😊
Amazing touching piece of work that so many can relate to. Thanks for sharing it with us !
Great documentary, put together very well. Never realized the struggles @DuffMcKagan fought through. Newfound respect for the music and the men that were part of my formative years.
One look at Gnr tokyo 92 and you see Duff in full non sober mode
Most alcoholics don't last that long and even less make it out at his age in one piece and then here's Duff full circle ❤
Stuart, read his autobiography‘it’s so easy’ whats on here only scratches the surface on some of the stories
@thejonessx3302 Thanks, will look for it now 😀
Outstanding Duff. Thank you and God bless.
Beautiful rendition to your life. Captivating and heartfelt. Thank you
that drummer does the, "can you play it with brushes" thing just right. hard skill.....kudos
What a life Duff has had. wow.!
Awesome video! Best to you and your family, Duff!
What a Show, very creatively put up all together. Love it Duff and everyone involved.
this was awesome
Delirium Tremens is so fun, I had to go through it multiple times, but after all is said and done I'm now 5 years sober. I'm glad you made it through and keep up the hard work, Duff!
I had psychosis and delirium after a coma..I was tripping my balls off
Best beer in the world baby. Follow the pink elephant
@@andrewoverhere8525 my Seattle shirt doesn't mention beer 🤔
RAIN & COFFEE & SALMON & WEED all standard Seattle stuff.
The debut Guns & Roses record was one of the bright moments in music for me as a singing drummer. Music was great in the 80s...Def Leppard/Motley Crue/RATT/RUSH/Ozzy/Van Halen etc...but it also took a very bizarre and frightening turn too...and it seemed to me like the dreaded DISCO NIGHTMARE was trying to creep back in in disguise to destroy us. If you don`t understand this look at some random Top 40 from back then!
All those bands are crap LMAO
@@DERRTYCHYBO Says a talentless loser....
Scott's Book, he states it was "Black Velvet Revolver" they eventually dropped the Black and had the band name
Hang in there Duff . Appreciate you .
Great documentary. A moment of silence for those who were not as lucky as Duff....
I could've accidentally died from DT 's shivering Cold in bed for 3 days, coming off alcohol
It hurt but (Lucky) it Worked , I called it Getting the Pain Out
Because every morning was a little more painful than yesterday's morning I knew it was only getting worse and worse and worse 🤔
great documentary!!!!! awesome job Duff
Beautiful
Jeff Fielder on guitar. So good.
Duff is the best member of guns n roses
I literally just stumbled across this tonight. Is this as old as the book, or was it literally just put together recently? I read the book years ago. Either way, this was an excellent video! I can't wait to watch more videos like this about some of my favourite musicians.
I think it was recorded in 2015
@@PrettiestRocker thank you for filling me in!
Me too, read the book a few years ago & just stumbled across this tonight (October 24) both as honest as each other & we put together 👏👏 Duff
I too ran acrossed this tonight going to have to read the book!
i luv u duff...very smooth move...shift lifes my friend
So cool. This really takes me back to Seattle 81'-83' hanging on "the ave" at 12-14 years old. We didn't believe in "rockstars" back then (still don't) but I admit to being a little starstruck by dudes like Duff, Slats from the Silly Killers and Blaine Cook. They were cool guys and were never assholes about being in the cool bands. I wasn't the least bit surprised when Duff went to the top with GnR, he had the dedication, the look and the talent, glad he survived it all and is here to tell the tale! Much love and respect to you Duff.
Inspiring. Always loved Duff
I love Duff.
Very freaking cool! The band is amazing.
Duff kicks ass
Duff a good soul!
Beautiful 🙏
Censoring a few fbombs?? Seriously??
World gone soft dude...
No children were traumatized for life by the reprehensible filth thanks to some stellar editing, preventing pristine ears from ever even guessing what might have been said. 🐩
Excellent !!
So Fine
Min 46:09 …Dr. is like : I don’t know what the cristal ball holds…
Iam like : Cristal ball ..???
The Lord Jesus gave Duff a second chance. Pure Mercy and ❤️ Love.
#Exalcholoic@Beingther#
I give my Lord JesusChrist all the Praise and Glory!!
They're lost , they don't understand... And duff can quit everything he wants
But hell will be his home without being spiritually born again.

That's the power of music. Sorry you went through that with no support.
Best doccie I EVER watched🎉
lovely piece !
Whiskey put me in the hospital at age 18 in 1983 with internal bleeding. After 2 weeks a doctor whispered, "You`ll die if you don`t get out of here and find some marijuana to stop the nausea." I was throwing up everything, even water, and lots of blood and had lost 35 pounds and I was a tall skinny guy. A few years later I was sentenced to jail for possession. Freedom? HA! Not in Louisiana! The police here will bury your rights right in the nearest landfill!
What r u talking about? This is the United States of America...
It's a FREE COUNTRY, man. Have u been living under a rock? LOLHAHAHALOLHAHA
Free to do whatever you GET AWAY WITH, SUCKERS!!!!
Great!🎼🎸🎤🎼
Right on dude, I absolutely loved it!!! 🫶 Thanks for sharing & more'so Thanks for still being around 🤘 Music has helped me through so many levels in life, this is another real-good-feel-good 🤘💜😁
Those were the best days
Duff and Susan❤
i’m just into 18:55 but i can’t explain this fuckin’ euphoric trippin’ … … … i’m only just drinking coffee n working late but fuck wow! what and how did i stumble into this… am i glad though… thanks a lot for this content. let’s go duff rose mckagan… said my piece n’ now back at it ;)
The irony is that Duff moved to LA to make it as a Rocker and joined Guns N Roses. He became rich and famous with them and then the scene he left back in Seattle exploded with the Grunge scene that made his band Guns n Roses uncool.
Because Grunge made the big Hair bands from LA look passé suddenly.
And Cobain hated Axel Rose because he thought he was racist and sexist.
Despite the hard rock of their debut album, Cobain didn’t like Axel Rose. They never got along well.
Yea, well, Curt was not in a place to preach.
IDK about all of that my friend. The grunge era of music didn't really effect Guns n' Roses at all. Not only did Gn'R survive during the grunge era, they were one of the most successful music artists in all genres of music during that time, including a few grunge bands. Just saying... ++Peace Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘
Good for Duff... i'd be pissed if he could actually sing ... cuz everything else seemed to work out more than fine for the lad.... & thanks you tube for at least 30 ad breaks thru this 😵💫😵💫
Ad block, i saw none, f' u tube!!
Duff McKagan south of the border's fan waching on tears..
Man, I sure can relate to him, finally free..
Great documentary but every time Duff spoke I kept hearing it in the voice of Zach Galifianakis's character Alan in The Hangover lol
When and where was that theatre event?!
lpm llore un mar entero
💥📖 I read Duff's book, "It's So Easy And Other Lies," in treatment while getting sober from alcohol and heroin (i.e. opiates in general) 8½ years ago. My then counselor Aimee (now a good friend) had it on her desk and loaned it to me upon request.
🎶 Aimee and I were only a year apart in age and infamously got along incredibly well, being that we shared so many of the same tastes, interests, and opinions. She had not read the book yet, so had inquired what I thought of it after I'd returned it. I told her it was not only a phenomenal read, but also incredibly well-written by Duff alone (i.e. no ghostwriter or assistance), and that she needed to prioritize reading it; especially as it had a lot to do with addiction, and the critical life lessons therein. When I borrowed it again a couple of weeks later to reread, I felt I had cemented that endorsement.
📝 As a writer myself, and a massive music fan who had grown up in the 80s and 90s (graduating from Stillwater Area High School in '95) I was profoundly blown away at how much of a seasoned, great writer Duff is. As a fellow addict in recovery, I was inspired by his rise from the ashes of such a demonic hold that alcohol and drugs had on him.
I cannot more highly recommend reading this book! Truly, a prescient and poignant journey through sex, drugs, & rock 'n roll; a 10/10. 🎸🤘🏼
Genre rules and restrictions, no fun. I love an old quote by Miles Davis, in which he dismisses the category “jazz”. To him it was just music. Two categories~ is it good, or bad. I just go by whether or not I like, or love, IT. Other than that, who gives a shit?🗝🎶
DONDE ESTA ESTE DOCUMENTAL SUBTITULADO!!??
nice to see benny the jet urquidez here
wow
#99 🤘😎
He’s mighty fine looking
Steroids. GnR could get any drug on the planet, so.. 🤔
❤❤❤
❤
Night Train being played with brushes is surely against the law somewhere.
Slash says he was a gritty street type. That's false. Dude is from Beverly Hills? Also I disagree with Duff and the AA model all together. If you tell yourself once an addict always an addict, then you're right. Same goes with telling yourself you are not an addict anymore. Negative affirmations are your worst enemies. They are never your best friend. I absolutely refuse to call myself anything negative just because AA says to... It's only the truth if you believe it. It's been working great for me for over 10 years now. I tried the AA paradigm for many years. And I kept failing, for many years. Now I'm doing great. AA people call us Dry Drunks? They refuse to accept calling yourself an addict or alcoholic is part of the problem. They even told me I wasn't truly sober? Said I was a dry drunk now. I do respect Duff and his musical abilities. The road to recovery could have been shorter had we just believed in ourselves...I consider myself recovered now. Not recovering...
Fuckin great 👍
Why does duff look so drastically different immediately after 1994? Is it just because he lost weight? Cant put my finger on it but some changes include his eyes became smaller and his nose became sharper. Its like hes a different guy.
From what I knew of that type of music of that time, I Wasn't interested . Was chasing other things, I'm fairly sure others were doing the same. Either way I was a fan of the music and not the singer. At that time there wss much more choices suiting our favorable if not specific preferences ...
👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
🇨🇦👽🎸👍🏼
i guess axl didn't want his face showing on this thing.. i wonder why
SLASH IS AN AMAZING LEAD GUITARIST AND WRITES GREAT BUT THE TRUE GREAT SONGWRITERS THAT MADE GNR SPECIAL IS IZZY N DUFF, I MEAN THEY ALL WROTE AND THAT MADE GUNS AMAZING ESPECIALLY APPETITE AND LIES BUT THE BEST INGREDIENTS AS FAR AS TBE WRITING IN IZZY N DUFF IN THAT ORDER
I liked this story in its earlier iteration. The stage presentation with pregnant earnest importance to every utterance is a bit too syrupy. Duff telling this story in simple radio interviews is much more true.I kinda liked the musical readapted score in the background. Dave grohl is writing a book and befriending McCartney, why not Duff?
32.00 what is it?
Does Duff think he is Mick Jagger??
Does he tell the fake story where he flew in with Kurt ?
