Duff McKagan Attended Lemmy's Memorial Ceremony

Duff McKagan attended the memorial ceremony held for Lemmy at the Download festival. At his home, Duff McKagan keeps Lemmy's ashes stored inside a small hat container on top of his fireplace mantel. Duff McKagan noted that the album Ace Of Spades was an influential factor that led him to focus more on playing the bass guitar. In addition to this, during the period of Guns N' Roses' first concerts, the band received an invitation to visit Motörhead's studio.

Duff McKagan's former band Loaded also had direct touring experience with Motörhead. Loaded went on tour with Motörhead in Germany. While Duff McKagan was on tour with Motörhead, he went on stage every single night in order to play the song Overkill. Motörhead officially declared Duff McKagan to be an honorary member of the band and presented him with a plaque to mark the honor.

Duff McKagan likes the new band James And The Cold Gun.
