Guns N’ Roses bassist, Duff McKagan, has posted a first video update on the band’s 2025 world tour. Watch the clip below.
Says Duff, “ These first few dates of the Guns tour have been fucking awesome, starting in Korea, which I’d never played before, in Seoul, which was super cool. I really, really like that country. I like how they roll. It’s fucking awesome. The crowd was amazing.
“Yeah, while I was in Tokyo this time, my wife [Susan] and daughter Mae were there and a couple of her friends, so we did some fun stuff. But I had a Fender event at the only Fender store in the world. It’s a three-story, very impressive store, right in Harajuku, where my favorite kind of punk rock clothing shop is. It’s called Jim Sinn. It’s in Harajuku. It’s right by the Fender store. They’ve become friends of mine over the years. They love Susan. We’ve made that our pilgrimage to that punk rock clothing store.
“Then at the Fender event, I had [new GN’R drummer] Isaac [Carpenter] come and play. Instead of me just playing bass and having like a clinic, I had Isaac come, and he played drums and we played little bits and pieces of a bunch of Guns songs, and it was super fun. Playing Taiwan again was great. Taipei’s a great city. We are now in Bangkok, and more to come on that.”
