Seems former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan had one hell of a great birthday recently. He got together with former band mate rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin' to record a new song together for the first time in about 25 years.
In an interview with Vorterix McKagan says:
“We were talking on the phone, and [Stradlin'] said, ‘Let’s go record a song.’ I have it. It just got mixed. It’s a super kick-ass song, and we just had fun.”
Stradlin' and McKagan managed to do the song all in one day at a studio owned by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age; having Taz Bentley of the band Reverend Horton Heat on drum duty.
When asked about how far this collaboration will be pursued, Mckagan says:
“We’ll probably do it some more. We’re gonna maybe record some more. But we just enjoy making music together and enjoy each other’s company. We’re allowed to do that.”
Personally, I'm stoked for this tune. It's always great to hear any of the ex-GN'R crew do anything; especially when two or more of them do it together. Granted, none of it will ever come close to the magic that was Guns N' Roses in their heyday but these guys are incapable of putting out anything that doesn't rock. A full album from these two would be fantastic; especially if they can get Slash in on it.
