Good to see misquotes get cleared up from the man himself.

Plus - "'my world' is still one of my favorite songs!!!"
What a cool thing for Duff to say!

The Axl's ambition of doing "experimental" music meant the end of Guns N'Roses as a band. "My World" on UYI 2 is not only the last "song" on the record, it is also the "song" which meant the end of GN'R.


If Axl wanted to do experiments, he should have had a side band. Guns N'Roses wasn't the right place to do that kind of music...


"Songs" like "Oh my god", "Silkworms" or "My World" can't be considered as GN'R songs !

well, you forget that "my world" is more of a provocation-fun-thing than a real song. "oh my god" is a great track, but oviously nothing for soemone who lives in that past. and "silkworms", well, that's really no song at all, just crazy jamming stuff.
but why did you forget to mention, madagascar, the blues, chinese democracy and rhyad? i guess those are songs either?!

+1. I totally agree. To be honnest, I'm not against modernity, Madagascar is great, U2 with Archtung Baby did a fantastic job, but there are limits. "my world", "oh my god" or "silkworms" are not good songs for Guns n' Roses.

I'm happy to read Duff thinks otherwise and consider OMG  a great song ! 
And I'm happy he made that statement too ! That's really being respectful of his fans !

And please get over the side band stuff ... it's really getting old and ridiculous ! 

[GNROSAS]

to all concerned
i will know officially retract a statement made in an interview for the voodoo-fest in new orleans a couple of weeks ago. to paraphrase, i was quoted as saying that axl wrote non of the music for guns n' roses(supposedly in the time that i was in the band). this was an ABSOLUTE mis-quote and i do believe that my past record in doing interviews period, would show me saying something like this as a serious deviation from my normal responses to 'guns' quetions.
axl, and all 'guns' fans, i wholeheartedly apologize and am quite embarassed by this whole episode. i have always looked at the 'glass as half full' when it comes to the amazing things we accomplished, and the amazing songs we wrote as a group. 'my world' is still one of my favorite songs!!!
much respect and love....duff

Thanks god. Duff is sane.

"My World" is my fav. I prefer "Oh My God" far better tho.

This faulty press should be dammed. Or was it intentional?

[Cocaine__tongue]

Still "My world" is better than most of the stuff duff has written by himself in loaded.

hmmm....No. Duff is very underrated in my opinion. Don't forget he is the man who wrote most of "paradise city"... He also wrote "it's so easy" I think. and they are great songs. I was very impressed when I saw him in Paris at the VR concert. Duff is awesome.

Yes, someone who has written "It's so Easy" deserves somes credit. I even think of "So Fine" as a better song than "My World". Just my taste though......and he has written "Loving the Alien"together with Scott. LTA is one of the best songs I have heard in years....

[Christos AG]

Respect the Duff.

[jarmo]

Cool. 


The worst thing is that the damage has already been done. I wonder how many of those news sources will report this.....

I'm not underestimating what he did on the past as a member of gnr, I was just talking about his work in Loaded.

And by the way, I can't understand the comments he made even though he has now said "au contraire". It was a dummy thing to do and has no excuses what so ever.

[SON OF A PREACHER]

I think what Duff said about My world was sarcastic   

It's a way of saying...'of course axl contributed to GNR musically..but it sucked !!! '

[mikegiuliana]

Nice to see duff clearing the air..
