Excerpts from Blabbermouth:
----------------------------------------------
In a brand new interview with Meltdown of Detroit's WRIF radio station, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan was asked if he ever feels underrated as a bass player. He responded: "I don't know where I'm rated. I don't pay attention to that. I'm really so just all into my craft. It's not a contest. I try to play the best…
"Any musician in any band — for a really good band — you know your part in the band," he continued. "If you're a drummer, be the best drummer you can be. If you're a bass player, make yourself as valuable as you can to that band. If you're a rhythm guitar player, lead guitar player, singer…
"I didn't start off as a bass player, and Guns was the first band I really, like, 'Oh, I'm gonna be a bass player. This is what I'm gonna do,'" he added. "And I really dove into it head first. And [I] listened to Prince, I listened to John Paul Jones, I listened to Paul Simonon from The Clash and Lemmy, and Killing Joke — all these cool, different bands that really inspired my bass playing. And I just kind of took it from there."
