Duff McKagan by Charles Peterson
It’s Duff McKagan’s first bit of solo music in nearly four years.
Duff McKagan has shared a video for his new solo cut This Is The Song.
It’s the title-track of an EP – also containing the songs Pass You By and It Can’t Come Too Soon – which has been released by the Guns N Roses bass player to coincide with the US’ Mental Health Awareness Month.
This Is The Song was written in the middle of a panic attack. I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t see straight, and lately, I have thankfully found my acoustic guitar as a refuge. If I just hold on to that guitar, play chords, and hum melodies, I can start to climb my way out of that hole.
“For those of you who have never experienced something like this, count yourselves blessed,” he continued. “To those of you who recognize what I am talking about: YOU ARE NOT ALONE!”
