For more than 40 years, Duff McKagan has been an unstoppable creative force, spanning a multitude of bands, tours, collaborations, and writings. LIGHTHOUSE marks the first full length collection born in McKagan’s studio. Songs like HOPE (featuring veteran Paul McCartney drummer Abe Laboriel Jr and melodic lead guitar from Slash) and the philosophical I JUST DON’T KNOW (featuring contributions from McKagan’s longtime friend, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains) see McKagan baring more of his artistic spirit than ever before, fusing acoustic elements with hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll to land at the sweet spot between soul-searching reflection and pure energy. The 11-song collection is further highlighted by an additional take on the title track, LIGHTHOUSE (REPRISE), joined by the one and only Iggy Pop.
Starting at just 15, McKagan has been a part of such diverse and influential bands as The Vains (1979), The Fastbacks (1980), The Living (1982), The Fartz (1982), 10 Minute Warning (1983), and Loaded (1998), along, of course, with his historic role as founding member of both Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver. Produced by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Shooter Jennings, McKagan’s 2019 second solo album, TENDERNESS, marked a powerful new chapter for the ever-evolving artist, taking on societal ills and his own personal transgressions against a rich sonic backdrop of Americana-fueled arrangements. Named by Loudwire as one of that year’s “50 Best Rock Albums” and hailed by Rolling Stone in a three-and-a-half (out of four)-starred rave as “an album full of beauty and heart…It’s music of conscience, heavy songs with a light touch,” the album includes the volatile rocker, “Chip Away,” which earned extraordinary praise from the Maestro himself, Bob Dylan, who recently declared the song a personal favorite.

I would love to see Rock N Roll Hall of Fame member Duff McKagan in concert. The Aladdin theater is such an intimate venue that every seat is a great seat. Fingers crossed that I win.
Duffff!! Please pick me.
This would be very cool!
Be a great show to see
Luv me some Duff
How Awesome to see Duff ! I love his music and Guns & Roses
I would love to see him
Yes! Please and thank you!
I’d easily give up my Monday night to see Duff!
Yes, please!
I think it’s going to be rough,
not to be able to see the Duff.
This is thoroughly off-the-cuff,
but I do really like your stuff!
Picking me will be just enough
to take Karl as my handcuff. This ain’t no wolfin’ huff-n-puff,
we both want to go see the Duff!
Love this you poet.
Duffs the Dude! Let’s go!
I have entered numerous times for Karl. I have never won maybe this will be the one.
Would love to see G & R guitarist from Washington
Great opportunity in a great venue.
One of the most solid members of GN’R along with Slash.
Always the most steady and under appreciated GNR member
Yes please!
I was a crazy little 8 year old, going around our house singing Welcome to the Jungle when Appetite for Destruction burst into the world, which my dad sadly did not think meshed well with his gospel opera. heh. But oh, the joys of having a teenaged sister in the 80s who forever influenced my music choices;-) I have been a ride or die fan since the first time that music touched my cassette player… Not to mention the multiple tapes I had to keep sneaking, because my parents kept tossing them out… heh. Since then, somehow, so many huge moments in my life ended up with GnR as the soundtrack, whether by intent or happenstance. If this girl wanted to rock, dance, rage, cry, there was always a song that gave me just what I needed. I went against every logic of an entrance song, and walked down the aisle at my wedding just a few years ago to Sweet Child of Mine. Normal Bridal march? Hell no. Perfect to anybody who knows me? Hells yes. There was no other choice. There was also the night my husband picked me up to try to race me down to say goodbye before my dad passed. I got in the car, turned the radio on just in time for Knockin on Heaven’s Door to start playing. My poor guy was SO lost on what the hell he should do… Leave it playing because he knew to never change the radio when one of those songs was on? Or turn it so I did not hear a song about Heaven’s door while my dad was standing at it…. He stumbled over the question, saying he didn’t know what to do, and I simply told him not to touch that button. I sat there with tears streaming down my face while I sang along. I was so wrapped up in the song, and my feelings, that I missed my phone vibrating in my purse. Only when it was over did I reach down to grab it to call my mom and let her know we were on our way. Instead, I listened to the VM from her telling me that he had taken his last breath a few moments before. I guess while I was singing about it, he walked through it…. Somehow, I actually feel like that is exactly how it should have been. And while it took a while to hear that song again without the tears, anybody who knows me still knows that when Guns comes on… Don’t try to change it, don’t bother with conversation for a bit. Just go along for the ride, because my mind, heart, and voice are all in on the songs:-)
I can’t help that GnR is how and why I know Duff, and will always cherish that connection. But the man is beautiful in every way that matters, and in every single thing he plays, and everything he does, from music, to family. All the years, all the bands. Due to a currently crazy life, I somehow JUST found out today that he was going to be here at the Aladdin, and about flipped. I don’t know what will be played that night. But if I I am lucky enough to get the chance to be there, I will love every single moment. Though I admit that if I get the chance to hear “Pass You By” live? Well, that night, I will be the world’s most contented woman;-)
Would like to take my wife to see Duff , I believe she would enjoy the show also to see Joe from D.O.A would be interesting.
You need at least one redhead to attend… I’m your girl
