Report: Duff and Izzy speak out on the Hall of Fame Induction…

After Axl Rose wrote a letter to the Hall of Fame, announcing that he wants no part of it, other Guns N’ Roses members are starting to speak out. I just think that the other members want to show the Hall of Fame that they still have heart for the induction.

Duff McKagan responds to Axl’s letter saying that Axl backing out is okay with him. He said the induction is all about the songs. Celebrating the music of Gn’R. Read Duff’s thoughts, here.

Also, Izzy Stradlin one of the guitarists of Gn’R, released a positive statement, saying that he’s all for it, even though he didn’t say anything about Axl or his letter against the HOF, read it, here.

While, I’m sure everyone thinks that the induction is for the original members of Guns N’ Roses, I believe the induction is made for all members of the band over the years. The band went through so many members. Even Buckethead was a brief member, so I wonder if he’ll be part of the induction? As long as he was a member of the band, probably.

Report: Duff McKagan doesn’t like being called a rock star…

Duff McKagan a former Gn’R man wrote a very good blog on how he doesn’t like being called a “rock star”. He explains how he doesn’t see himself being famous over music. He sees himself as a normal simple guy enjoying life, spending time with family and making music. He sees himself as a regular music lover like all of us.

Read Duff’s blog on it here (Duff himself is even replying to reader’s comments in his blog entries):

Great post Duff! I agree with you 100%, it’s good to see you don’t have an ego attitude like most so called “rock stars” have.
