Duff McKagan Classic Rock Magazinelle: ”En usko, että Izzy Stradlin koskaan halusikaan mukaan näille Guns N’ Rosesin keikoille”

Yhdysaltalaisesta rockin jättiläisestä Guns N’ Rosesista tunnettu basisti Duff McKagan on antanut Classic Rock Magazinelle hiljattain haastattelun, jossa hän on avannut hieman taustoja liittyen Izzy Stradlinin puuttumiseen Guns N’ Rosesin ”Not In This Lifetime” -paluukiertueelta. Duffin mukaan hänestä tuntuu siltä, että Izzy ei koskaan edes halunnut osallistua Guns N’ Rosesin paluukeikoille, koska bändi kyllä yritti saada kitaristia suostumaan mukaan. Duff kertoi aiheesta seuraavaa:

”[Izzy] and I have done a lot together in all the years in between. But this tour, I just don’t think he ever wanted to do it. We tried to make it work, but it just didn’t. And in a situation like this you’re really in it, man. You either get on it or you don’t, because the train’s moving forward. The good thing is, Slash really likes playing with Richard Fortus [GN’R guitarist since 2002], and Slash is somewhat picky about that kind of stuff. They get on great as far as a two-guitar player relationship goes.”

”To be honest, I haven’t taken a lot of time to go back on the Izzy thing because we just move forward, and things are so good. And as I’ve found out many times in my life, things are supposed to happen as they happen.”
