Duff Mckagan (bassist for Guns ‘N Roses and Velvet Revolver) writes this interesting article for his recurring column with the Seattle Weekly. Here’s an excerpt:
“Last Saturday in Detroit, Alice played their first gig in the campaign that will support the release of their first record this decade–a tour that I think will cement them as the premier rock band on this planet.”
Premier rock band on this planet? Really? I mean they’re good and all, but that’s quite a statement. Later he states:
“I remember a musician telling me sometime in 1996 that Kurt Cobain had made it OK for the rest of us not to have to learn our instruments–I guess he assumed Kurt couldn’t play? That guy had it so wrong. ALL the guys in Nirvana were such good players that they made it all SEEM so easy”
Riiiiiight… as if technicality were one of Nirvana’s hallmarks or something. But then he partially redeems himself with this one:
“Best Buy and Target can promote and advertise and generally make a great fuss, but all the fluster about the Metallica and AC/DC records last fall kind of fell flat after the first couple of weeks.”
No complaints with that statement.
