I’m an alcoholic . Makes me cry listening to these stories but also brings me back to why I quit.6 yrs sober now. GNR was “my band” and have seen them live in different iterations like 6-7 times . Miss the old days but man 😥🙏

Duff, you are not only an amazing musician, but also extremely intelligent person who has humility and grace, which is rare in the world we live in today. 10 yrs sober here. I understand the grips of despair that addiction takes you to, and im forever grateful to have a chance to be sober one more day👍

Duff singing "So Fine" basically changed my POV as Duff as a rock performer. He is one class act!

This show never disappoints! both Duff and Sammy are great musicians!

Named my dog Duff back in 93! His album Believe In Me was and still is a great listen! Great musician. Glad he's still with us after his life of excess.

Out of all the Gunners, Duff seems like the only one I'd like to hang out with. He seems like such a nice dude.

What else can you say about Duff, he's very talented, very smart, cool guy. A true Legend! Glad his doing great.

"On the road he (Slash) plays guitar from the morning till the night." And that's why Slash is so fucking good. Playing don't mirror his life, it is his life.

Had a major eating disorder and seeing duff in another interview two years ago made me seriously consider my health. While he had drinking I’m so glad I watched him open up about his sobriety. I became a better person and changed my attitudes and I’m so much healthier now. Joined a cycling club and drinking water has done wonders. Thank you Duff for being the awesome guy that you are and helping me change myself for the better.

Dude Duff is the most underrated bass player and I don't know why?! The bass lines are genius in GnR! The bass lines are all over the place but still in timing and sound with the band, especially with the drums!!!!! Seems to be a great guy!

2 of my favorites. Back in 1993 I at the Winnipeg Arena I saw Van Halen during For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge with and Guns n Roses during the Use Your Illusion tours.

Maybe put up part 2 with Duff we saw no jamming.. I want to see these boys jam 😎🤘🏼🎸

Duff is truly one of a kind. So sweet and giving. His work with one of my biddies in the Walking Papers is amazing. We are all better for him surviving and carrying on!

Saw G&R on one of their tours, I think they called it "Not in this lifetime." I could not believe how hard they worked! Duff played and looked like the most grateful man on the planet. Superb show. You know how, at the end of a concert, the audience still wants more after the final encore? This audience had nothing more to ask. Guns left EVERYTHING on the stage and in the air. We were as wrung out as the band. Could not ask for anything more. Quite a contrast to when I saw them touring Appetite, back in the 80's. Aerosmith opened for them. Newly reinvigorated, clean Aerosmith. Guns looked & played like 50 year old junkies, while the recovered, 50 year old junkies ripped it up with the energy of teenagers who had the chops of journeymen. That contrast stuck with me. So great to be able to take my 20 year old son to see one of Rock's great bands, playing their best.

If you haven’t read Duffs biography It’s So Easy And Other Lies I highly recommend it. Incredible what he’s been through and the way he turned his life around is nothing short of a miracle.

These two legends put a lovely notch in the music world , so glad they are both here.

Duff is the most nicest guy in all of rock n roll. love this. thanks for posting!

Duff’s book is so incredible! His book really help me get sober, of course I had lost everything but it was super motivating

Dude Duff seems like the coolest down to earth guy. Him and Slash seem like some of the best people to hangout with

Sammy did a great job of interviewing! Kudos! He should do more interviews with rockers!!!

Duff looks so healthy. What a blessing. He really shows people they can completely change for the better. And become a person they never thought possible.

While I'm not a huge GNR fan I read Duff's book and have loved the guy ever since. Great episode, Sammy!

I'm an alcoholic. I read Duff's book when I was 29. At that point I was binge drinking on a regular basis, but never thought this would happen to me. When I was 32 I woke up one morning in excruciating stomach pain. I remembered Duff's story. Had to call a cab to take me to the hospital. It was severe pancreatitis and I spent 15 days at UCSD Hospital, three in ICU. They let me out with a bottle of morphine pills and a 30 day script. Got addicted to those. I was able to get another script from a clinic. When they ran out, I started drinking again. Then, back to the hospital. This went on for almost 3 years. Thirteen times in the ER. I was hooked on both. When I was about to run out of the pain pills again, I went to a head shop in Ocean Beach and asked a girl there if she had any herbs for opiate withdrawal. She introduced me to Kratom. It worked.

Awesome!!! I saw Duuf in 21.06.1992 with GNR and Soundgarden and Faith no More in Basel Switzerland..... Long time ago!!!!

Back in 78, 79 I went to a Heart concert in Oakland Ca. there were 3 bands The first was Earthquake 4.0 or something like that, Sammy Hagar & Heart. I had no idea I was about to see the singer from Montrose. During the concert Sammy Hagar sat down on the edge of the stage with a steel guitar & when Bad Motor Scooter started I finally realized what I was seeing & hearing & I was in euphoria. It was great.

My step-dad brought a stereo back from Vietnam and still has it...Reel to Reel and all...Still the best stereo I've ever heard

I loved both of your music when I started understanding music but it is so much better understanding the people behind the music. It really makes me appreciate so much more about appreciating music and understanding it with the relevance to things in my own life. These nuances are what connects the artists with their fans.

I love these guys. I listened to both these great musicians since the 80s and 90s in all their bands they were in.

2 legends of music ...My appreciations spill over for sure! Read Duffs first book...it was great

Awesome interview! I love ❤️ the short but important questions with each answer! This part of program makes me have fun most times at answers!💯❤️🌟👋

I loved the Believe in me album. One of my favourite songs is in there, 10 years.

Love Duff. Guy turned his life around during the '90s and helped so many others. I actually am falling in love with GnR all over again. Slash, Duff, and especially, most especially Axl genuinely turned their asses around and took their lives and music to the next level. Cheers Sammy, love the chat.

Congratulations on your sobriety….you got a second chance at life….and you took it. You are in phenomenal shape now keep it up you are awesome

Duff you are AMAZING Duff is SO tall. He’s done a lot to build up his body and health. I’m so happy for Duff. I always love sweet Sammy

This was great, I was a huge GnR fan when they first hit the scene. They were the bad boys and wild west of Rock nRoll...duff seems so gentle

Both great musicians. Great video Sammy and thanks for sharing 👍

I’m really happy he’s getting some playtime guys and gals, he’s super talented and a super cool man. Total respect

Love these two, truly hard rock royalty.

What I like about Duff the most, he is real..and a great kind person. respect👍

Seen GNR a few weeks ago in Dublin. Fabulous show. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪....

always loved duff, we share a birthday. february 5. wish this was longer!

Duff is 58. Sammy is 74. Let that sink in.

Duff is an absolute sweetheart!

Excellent Interview, Excellent People!!!👍🤘🏼

Such a great interview!

This came out a couple years ago I think. And they jammed. It’s a great song and duff sounds awesome.

WOW...just WOW! Fascinating personal experience in his life! 💜

I LOVE this channel

O my god!!! DUFF I Just saw you in Milan you are always so beautiful ❤️😍😍😍 great voice and sound. So nice to see the great Sammy Hagar too!

Duff and Sammy are so down to earth its silly. Could be my bestest friends. Same age as me probably. I miss the 1990s.

I really got the phrase “I’m Done” I had been doing & dealing a bunch of meth. 7 years of my life. I drank and snorted enough speed for 10 people. One day I woke up with about 5,000 dollars worth of speed in my possession. When I woke up I just said to myself “I’m Done” No rehab. No help. That was in December 4 1985. Haven’t had a drink or done any drugs since then. I’m Done!!! Now at 71 years old. I really wish I had stopped a lot sooner. Like maybe the day I started !!!

Sammy Hagar...always comes in clutch! Great to see Duff too!

I actually have more admiration, respect and love for Duff, than anyone else in Guns and roses. He always seemed to have it together more than the rest of the band.

Tasty footage here, awesome!

I never knew his pancreas burst that's insane! He's amazing!I remember hearing a part of his story on doctor Phil 1 day I really wanna read his book because his story is incredible a total survivor I just admire somebody things about him

Duff is a great bassist, and I purposely pay attention to his back up vocals with GNR. He has some cool rhythm in his playing style.

My bass tone idol. Im happy we still have him. Looking good. Like a tall bowie. 🤜🤛

Hagar is the perfect interviewer. It takes a special kind of "star" to humble themselves to interview another "star". He's able to allow the spotlight off himself, and placed on another.

God bless you Duff! Greetings from Argentina!

Duff is almost like 60 years old and he looks like he's in his 30's or 40's! He looks great! Hope he has a long and healthy life!

Duff 's album ' Believe in me ' Is still deadly 👍,to this day!👍

Two of my favorite guys in the world.

Damn great interview but way too short 😕 Love to hear more from Duff!

I saw GnR 37 years ago I can’t believe they are still at it they gotta be close to 60 years old geez that means I’m a senior citizen now dang time flies

Buckets!!!!! I loved you in GnR I love you even more as a reg guy livin, and I’m proud of you man. You’re a great guy and ripped! Look at the pipes on Duff!? AWESOME

I expect a new video every day !!

This was an excellent interview by Sammy. It gave us a great insight of a man that has somewhat taken a backseat to Axel and Slash. I will be 34 years sober on Dec17th, God willing. I wish you nothing but the best Duff. Best decision you ever made in your life. I am 100% sure, you would agree with me. Be well !!!!!!

Love these 2 artists

A great gentleman now. Long may he Rock

Love Duff! Great guy and my 80's idol!!

I am glad you made it Duff!!! Very Glad!

Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff.

In my opinión...his voice in "believe in me" was so great

Glad to see he made it thru. Enjoy the rest of life man . And he gave kudos to Axel .very true .singing is work

Two cool guys, two great musicians.

Que grandes músicos 🤟🤟

thanks, Duff needed a story, May 28th 1991 I got clean and sober as an addict and a alcoholic no bad days since in all these years not always the way I want them but, I can deal with anything keep the faith

Basketball Jones reference from Sammy, and Tom Waits mention from Duff! Niiiiiice!

“I wouldn’t let YOU let me!” ......Fantastic, thank you for being a real person instead of a persona

Good for Duff… Glad he’s still here…

SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} and sooo cool....LOVE YOU BROTHERS..!!!

Duff My fav bass players all the time, even I'm fans with Chris novoselic to

I too am an alcoholic. I'm 27 years sober. Keep digging man. It's all good. God bless

I learned how to play the bass by learning appetite for destruction from start to finish. Duff's bass lines are so good.

There is a guy named Grant that lives here in my home town... He used to be a part of some recording associated with Duff, he commented to me that Duff was one of the nicest guys in the whole world 🌎...

It's good to see him clean and sober because he is a good musician and singer.

What? No music after This and That? Great interview. Real interesting guy.

Wonderful...😎👍🎸

Saw that Buck Owens guitar in the back.

I love your music forever legend ♥️🎶🎸🤘♥️

Sammy is so down to earth.

This was great. When was this recorded?

Legends together.

Duff is such a great guy 👍 Best from MUC... 🇩🇪 😉

si estuviera traducido al español !!! tendiras mas vistas , somos muchos en el mundo comunicandonos en ese idioma... Algo entedi de todas maneras. Gracias por el video. Duff es un gran ejemplo e inspiracion para muchas personas. Lo admiro mucho. if it were translated into Spanish !!! You will have more views, there are many of us in the world communicating in that language... I understood something anyway. thanks for the video. Duff is a great example, a great inspiration to many people. I admire him a lot.

Thanks Duff ,,,, from Mark 🎩🌹

HAIL the great Hagar for what he is bringing us in these times, God Bless this man. and God Bless Duff for being a soldier of light .Hagar ..is like the Elon Musk of today's politics just hitting us out of the blue with great moves.

i still remember he have other band the name Neurotic Outsider. amazingly he still looks like 20 years ago

I'll stand by this statement Duff McKagan is the most talented guy in GnR

Duff te amo ❤️
