More Duff on the songwriting thing..

[Top-Hatted One]

as far as im concerned no news sorces picked up the news because no one really cared but us. So it's no big deal. The same few that did will pick this up

[Brighty]

Jesus people this is clearly sarcasm as son of a preacher noticed. Its Duff saying he was misquoted but also adding a little dig at axl's more experimental songwriting side.

We all know these songs were a big factor in the band splitting and duff would hardly pick this song as being representative of Axl's songwriting gift if he was offering a genuine opinion.

[PhillyRiot]

Class move by Duff in my opinion.  Mabey My World is an inside joke between him and Axl who knows?    Can't wait to see Duff tomorrow night for my 3rd rockin VR show at the Spectrum.  ALLLLL yeah!!!!!!

haha thats what I first thought after reading that all of songs he mentioned 'my world' Maybe he is being sarcastic

[mikegiuliana]

Everyone is taking stuff to serious, he said he was sorry, he said he was misquoted.. What more can one want? I mean there was no need to even fix the problem..

I don't know what he meant by my world, could be he actually likes the song, or could be saying the only thing axl did alone was my world and I liked it or, my world stinks and this is what he did alone..

Either way this doesn't affect anything, the band split ages ago, this doesn't have any bearing on a new gnr album, it's nothing important nor does it weight on anything..

[shaun]

?'my world' is still one of my favorite songs!!!? - Duff


I kind of read that as sarcasm, as My World possibly rates as (in my own personal opinion) one of the worst GN?R songs ever. No offence intended 

[jarmo]

Yeah, "My World" probably is the GN'R song that the most fans hate.

That comment can be read both ways and the people who have issues with Duff will see it as a dig towards Axl.

So, we're basically back at square one.

good point. That's what I though when I first read his comment too. But I don't think ironic in fact. Maybe he really like this song who knows?

[Tied-Up]

Actually "My World" is one of my favorite songs, I'm only disappointed that it was so short, so I don't necessarily view Duff's words as sarcastic. 

Duff apologized.  I think it's cool of him to actually take time to do that, whether or not you think it's sincere. 

[starchild_666]

nice that Duff cleared this up 

[norway]

My world starts rather rough but developes pretty well
I think axl using all his vocal abbiltys on that, great intenseity

[Doc Emmett Brown]

I dont have issues with Duff, but his comment did make me blink and scratch my head... humorously tongue-in-cheek.
But yeah, Square One is where it's at.     At least he tried to clear up any misquotes by the poison pen press.

[Scabbie]

It just ain't fun with Axl not about to reciprocate...

Talking of Axl, is he still alive? I mean, when was the last actual confirmed sighting of the guy?

It makes me wander....if he's kinda unreliable - (assuming the reports of desert wandering are true), do you think Merck and the engineer are left to try and make whats best of the material lying around? Are they playing the role of motivators in an effort to get the CD released?

God I'm so confused!

[AxlFink]

i dont think duff was being sarcastic but if he was fuck him.  My World is cool.  Matt Sorum made his retard comments on BTM about how he walked in and there was a piano.  His opinion was that this isnt GnR?? So I dont think it was My World.  It was November Rain, Estranged and and song where Axl wanted to stretch out musically,  The old members wouldnt want the blues, madagascar etc....

I wonder when he did the parts for GTA??

I had no clue the guy was alive really through the (94=98) 90s..

The only thing we heard was from rio 4..

[AxlFink]

I wonder if the fans were telling Duff to fuck off or if Axl contacted him and told him to fuck off.  Something must have led the retraction.  maybe Axl's lawyers.

[SADIS]

I think Duff is being sincere when he says he likes "My World". Because he is a Punk rock fan. And "My World" has a punk vibe all over it. I think Duff's all about the "fuck you" songs. Like he wrote "It's So Easy" and "Get In The Ring".... if he wasn't meaning shit, he wouldn't have made this much effort to deny all this crap.

So I do think he actually likes the song and by saying that, he wants to show he respects Axl for doing what he wants to do?

[younggunner]

Duff is being sarcastic.

[MadmanDan]

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 !!! '

Yeah,this "retraction" means exactly what he said in the first place. I doubt he even rebembers who wrote GNR songs because the drugs and alcohol.


Slash gets all my respect because he's a fuckin genius,but Duff can do fuck himself

[Mikkamakka]

Lol. How sad to be a GN'R fan. We haven't got anything for ages, we've discussed everything, had fights over everything, and then, after we had pages focusing on the 'when did Axl lose his virginity?' problem, and had bashed every other musicians who don't like GN'R or Nu-GN'R or Axl, the whole board turns into a hermeneutics course over 'what did Duff mean by saying this and that?'?

Axl, you'd better release the album?
