Dorkin' with Duff McKagan

In case you didn't know this, the tall dude in the pic played bass on the greatest Hard Rock album ever made. His autobiography recently came out, It's So Easy, and he spoke at Powell's Books for a short while then answered a few questions, mostly stupid (like what do you think of "Chinese Democracy"?... C'mon.)

(My co-worker bro Justin Drabek, is the other short hairy dude.)

He gave a great answer to another stupid question. Question: What advice do you have for starving artists in Portland looking for inspiration? Answer: It's about telling the truth, right?

Duff seems really cool, and in touch with today's great rock bands. He loves Ghost and Red Fang. Me too! He's 10x cooler than Dave Mustaine. Mustaine just sat at a table and signed books. No pictures allowed. Duff's book was 10 bucks cheaper than Mustaine's, too. McKagan>Mustaine. (LC)
