Duff Talks About His Stint In Janes
http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/features ... ff-McKagan
The relevant part:
Faster Louder: Why did you really leave JANE'S ADDICTION? At the time you cited "musical differences."
Duff: I didn't actually say that. I never did the "musical differences" thing, because I don't think it was. It was more to service that band … for a minute. And I've known those guys for a long time, and I got to play a couple of gigs with them, and help them write some songs. They were back on their own feet, and it's weird for me, a guy who's always started his own bands, it's kinda hard to come into a band with a 20-plus year history and try and fit in. They were really trying to make me feel like I fit in, but I did my service and I knew when it was time to say, "I'm good. Are you guys good? I'm good." It wasn't musical differences at all, it was just an unexplainable thing.
Faster Louder: What was the most embarrassing part about being involved in Married to Rock?
Duff: The whole thing. But you know what? My wife has been there for me through a lot of shit. She got the opportunity to do that show, and I was like, “How much do you want me in the fuckin’ show?” cause I live with three girls, and it was very present in our house. I fuckin’ hate it, well I don’t hate anything … It’s just not my thing. But I love my wife, and she was excited about doing it. So I don’t think I was really embarrassed, but they wanted me to do all kinds of stuff that wasn’t me, like her and I getting in a fake fight. They were like, “Get in a fake fight about finding a new house”, and I was like, “That is such fuckin bullshit, I won’t do it.” Marriage is hard enough without getting in a fake fight on TV, you know? And I couldn’t fake fight, I couldn’t do it. But the girls got to wear all fancy clothes and we got the makeup people and stuff so that made them happy for a while.

Duff's always seemed like a charitable bloke.
Re: Duff Talks About His Stint In Janes
wow what a shock....married to rock was staged. that was the most unrealistic reality show ever.
Re: Duff Talks About His Stint In Janes
WHAT?? you mean reality TV isn't real???? Shocker!!
So that whole BFF of Perry's hitting on Etty was all made up

Heh, so the new celebrity thing to placate your woman isn't to buy expensive clothes, jewelry or exotic vacations, but to let her do a reality tv show.

Just chew...
Re: Duff Talks About His Stint In Janes
Not really a fan of Duff's musical output since Appetite but the guy seems real standup.
Re: Duff Talks About His Stint In Janes
I respect him for allowing himself to make brief cameos in that show for his wife, but drawing the line at the real bullshit aspects.

He came across pretty cool in his book. I'd buy him a beer.

Duff can't drink...his appendix burst one year because of his alcoholism...if I read it right another drink could kill him...
Re: Duff Talks About His Stint In Janes
not his appendix, his pancreas!
He was very close to death.

Yeah a near death experience that put things in perspective for Duff for sure...I still remember Stuttering John from Howard Stern running up to a drunken Duff years ago and asking him if he was a jew to which Duff replied "huh?...FUCK YOU HOWARD"...
