Duff McKagan Argues About Whether Rock Is Dead | Jonesy's Jukebox 

but it happened...wouldn't that make it reality and not fantasy?

I still look back on The Sex Pistols 2007 gig when Steve opens on Pretty Vacant. Just effin awesome.

winstoneism Yes, but because it was so short and sweet, it was so memorable and intense as the punk genre was.

Dont forget velvet revolver and hes solo stuff..

You called it. He seems like quite a humble and reasonable man

Fortunate, not lucky. He's not one of these conceited "its a miracle I'm alive" type of guys. He's more down to earth than that

totally share your sentiments. Jonesy is 100% "London Cool" oratory with not insignificant dusting of relaxing elocution style & calm confident command of his mother tongue typically indicative of the relative quality of the education system once upon a time back when the ranks of talented teachers were abundantly stocked with locked & loaded live ammo proven methods 4 solid learning 3R outcomes inc. corporal punishment not least such that a disaffected truant street urchin from the 60s & 70s fond of "nickin' stuff" & all other types of rebellious wrong ide of tracks skull-duiggery can also not infrequently pull upon the most tasteful top shelf elegantly stoned "decorum " & eloquence, proper table manners, flattery & charm simultaneously delivered whilst sneakily taking the piss with dry as a chip metaphoric irony dusted off with a not infrequent refreshing capacity 4 brazenly honest revelations of measured self deprecation & authentic shows of grounded humility that equally makes no apologies in healthy respect for the proud ego of one who not only was a certain "famous someone" from the golden age of rock n roll but who now clearly still is kinda "someone" that somehow miraculously managed to survive after living through the eye of a violent hurricane vortex of what essentially is an extended period of wild & unhinged ultra hedonism as a destructive cultural change agent whatever be the nihilistic rock n roll swindle moment in true Dionysian times past under the microscope topic of rolling unscripted candid discussion conducted totally on the fly with scant chronological details now often barely recalled by the rose coloured sensory shades of Steve's synapses flicker & fire 2 faintly form a persuasive point of view about something of genuine intrigue no doubt boundlessly interesting tales from the bottomless bag of infinite artistic creativity, hard core debauchery & rolled gold scandal, ripping yarns with endless appeal & why ?? They're told with real heart.

Agreed. Duff always surprised me with how well-spoken, intelligent and humble he is (both he and Slash)... maybe I expected him to be kind of a burn-out?

Their first album was awesome and their second..after that....nah

It truly sucks a big one.....horrible shit.

Maybe now it does but in the 80's and 90's there was great Rap music around

...and stuff like "I hope we're not interrupting you over there", at 9:28 :-)

There's still fantastic hip-hop kicking around. Death Grips, Kanye's early 2010s stuff, Tyler the Creator, you just need to know where to look

@@mjh5437 Some hip hop sucks and some of it is awesome. You shouldn’t generalize a whole genre of music.

one of the last of a rare breed. 🏴‍☠️

Hahaha

Duff is too nice to be punk rock

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Casey Damari instablaster :)

I really hope so, coming from someone of this generation

Covid Vaccines are more popular than rock. Rock is dead and Axl is full of soy. The reunion never should have happened because he's using the band to destroy its own legacy.

@@TheKitchenerLeslie Man are you serious? Vaccines are more popular because its a VACCINE to help fight off a deadly pandemic that is currently happening.

@@Jluna_nyc Not according to its inventor.

@@Jluna_nyc All states and countries that didn't lock down are fine. How stupid are you?

You are right about all that and it’s why I think this society not just in music but also film, tv and entertainment media in general has been degenerating for decades! As the years go by it seems as though originality, true uniqueness is lost or ridiculed and conforming to act, look, talk and use social media in the same mannerisms and aesthetics is praised. You can easily say f off to those people and have many reason to justify why you don’t associate with them!

There's loads of great rock music. It'll never die. So much new stuff. And so much old stuff. Enjoy.. ✊

Doesn't matter what anyone says just keep doing your thing and everything will be fine. Besides fuck pop culture and fuck mainstream music.

I agree with everything you said above are u a musician urself.

Good lad!!

Absolutely

Reborn into what? What are you talking about?

It will never be the same, though.

More congrats guys👍

He looks like a giant Jelly Baby lol!!

@Tararyze 11 I guess I would have been shunned. No girls would like me.

That’s impossible to say for complete certainty.

@@nox4298 I've said it so it's not impossible to say.

@@BLUEMONDAY99 Take a look at the charts and compare the number of guitar bands to 30, 40, 50 years ago. As I said already, it's not dead but it's no longer the force that it was.

John Stewart I agree rock doesn’t give us rebels anymore that era is long gone and dead now we have terrible greta van fleet.

@@BLUEMONDAY99 How many of those bands were truly original though, offering something new? How many had really, really great songs?

Now you're getting into the philosophy of the life of rock n roll,I've thought this before. I'm curious as to what,or if you've come across anything nowadays that is in the same vein of gnr,or rolling stones or something. Because I have come across quite a few modern hair bands,but it's just so gay,unlike the ones from the 80's wich there were a few then that peoplethought were gay,but these guys now take it to a whole new level. And you got those kids that sound like zepplin,but that's just it we all know who they're ripping off. And so called what's consided rock now has taken so much influence from the whiny grudge crap. It makes me just fucking sad hearing that shit,like the seether type crap you best believe there's a new version of those type of bands every day. You can look up modern rock playlist and it'll just be nothing but those guys,I once thought Attila would bring it back a little at the very beginning,but of course they went more Down their grindcore rap way,to appease the fans.

@@ryandlion6961 Most modern music lacks the blues influence, and that is the major issue. The badass rock and roll sound comes form the blues. You don't even need to listen to actual "blues" but those beautiful string bends with epic feeling definitely come from that time period. It's extremely difficult to play like this so most people skip it. But guys like Clapton? Slash? It's all they knew... My own band Night Mission is directly influenced by Iron Maiden/Queensryche. Our singer is the x-factor, he can actually sing and hit those high notes. Metal has devolved into blowhard growling because again, it's too hard to actually sing, so any asshole can scream into a mic and bam, you have a "front man."

Aidan Rix don’t worry. I am 40 years old and I can confirm that there was always a whole load of rubbish music in every decade. It’s just that the good stuff continues on in people’s memories, whereas the rubbish stuff is forgotten. There’s great music happening now just as there was “back in the day”, it just takes the passage of time for great new music to become classic music.

Do you know whether Jonesy Jukebox is still on air? He's active on Instagram but there doesn't seem to be any radio updates.

@@huntsman1234 No, they took his show off the air.

That's like saying Jazz is not dead.

Come on man you are in denial..I wish it wasn't but seriously...

@@peaceonearth351 Franz zappa.... "just smells funny"

Ojala el publico de Guate se porte bien a la altura para que sigan llegando artistas de este calibre. Muchos rockeros se van tan lejos como Chile e ignoran a Guate por no tener un buen lugar ni alguien que los promueva. Que lo disfruten!

@Mikie E yeah come to my house and say that walls of Marshall stacks

@Mikie E check out all the young kids doing classic rock like greta van sustren you're high bro rock lives

@Mikie E who is they? i have marshall stacks and rock is alive while im alive.

@@truescotsman4103 Greta Van Sustren?

@@mjh5437 it's a joke the band is called Greta Van fleet and it's that Zeppelin cover band actually they don't do Zeppelin songs they just sound exactly like them except for a really bad version

he says it a lot, he loves to spam that hahaha from crazy train all the time too

fairies wear boots man you gotta believe me saw it with my own two eyes .....All right now!! oh yeah!!

@@bonnerscott5374 this is spooky I'm here listening to sabbath dvd gathered in there masses and on the song fairies wear boots when ure reply came in on my phone. That's not a lie.

@@martymartin2894 Lol

Sweet leaf. I remember where I was when my little sister first told me to listen to it and put that vinyl on tt. Unbelievable.

Agreed. I would like to know the opinion of veteran rockers on this subject. Last ten years everything mainstream is pop, rap and country. Sad times.

That's because there is none..same with real metal.

@@hotlanta35 Yeah the worst for real metal. Only death metal and "progressive " type metal now.

@@hotlanta35 I'm not into "real metal" or "new metal" - but there are several new rock bands that have something new with old blues roots to offer. Dirty Honey, which GNR supports, South of Eden - very new with little on the the web to show but I can't wait to hear more, RIval Sons...I'm pretty old school so that's all I've found that I love!

Rock music is alive an well.. Garyclark junior. Joanne Shaw taylor. Grianne Duffy Ghost BlackBerry smoke Blues pills

corndog1868 R.I.P ROCK 🤗🤗

@@dannyanime3468 Good music never dies

I hate those

I much prefer those to the standard "rock died 20/30/40 years ago" - typical response from boring old geezers who simply stopped listening to new music 20/30/40 years ago.

@@DaveBoofhead1972 I don't say that rock is dead, but it's clearly not where it should be. And a bigger problem is it's lacking of variety.

+hotlanta35 ha,ha,ha - I used to say that up until a few years ago - I just don't believe it any more...

gotta capture the moment when ya can huh? give them their roses while they can still smell them... 💔🌹🎸

Dam Brooks white people killed rock

@@dannyanime3468 well they certainly stole it, is how I'd describe it personally, but I see entirely what you mean.

Dam Brooks “stole” as if a musical genre and general influence is something that can be stolen.

@@nox4298 music is now defined as "intellectual property" and as such is one of the most gaurded items that has no physical presence, has no metter and is truly just a collection of agitated layers of air. Yet if I was to, without asking permission or paying for the privilege for doing so, put out a version of 'Paint it Black' writen originally by the Brian Jones of Rolling Stones fame both his family and the bands legal team would be well within their rights to sue me for theft of intellectual property; that such attitudes or behaviour wasn't a part of the country blues tradition doesn't stop it being were the Stones stole lots of their sound from, in fact Kieth Richards said as much in his book "Keith" but feel free to dispute this further.

Danny anime your opinion is not the truth in the slightest.

what other songs did he do it on? there's been a bunch

@@moreblack "Loner" from 13

Ozzy used "alright, now' a LOT and not just with Black Sabbath.

" I love you", wasn't it?

Murdered by grunge? That’s the strangest comment ever

Grunge was a genre of rock, homie

VJ SWORD “panic attacks” are very real
