Duff McKagan inspired Duff BeerIn his autobiography It's So Easy (And Other Lies) - slated to hit shelves October 4 - McKagan reveals that he was actually the inspiration for the cartoon beerDuff Beer is a household name - the trademark brew of "The Simpsons" is almost as recognizable to American boozers as Budweiser. But did you know that Homer's beverage of choice was inspired by ex-Guns 'N Roses bassist Duff McKagan? In his autobiography It's So Easy (And Other Lies) - slated to hit shelves October 4 - McKagan reveals that he was actually the inspiration for the cartoon beer. According to loudwire.com, McKagan's tome recounts the story behind the iconic Duff Beer: "When Guns N’ Roses began to break into the public consciousness, I was known as a big drinker... In 1988, MTV aired a concert in which Axl introduced me — as usual — as Duff 'The King of Beers' McKagan. Soon after a production company working on a new animated series called me to ask if they could use the name 'Duff' for a brand of beer in the show. "I laughed and said of course, no problem... The whole thing sounded like a low-rent art project or something — I mean, who made cartoons for adults? Little did I know that the show would become 'The Simpsons' and that within a few years I would start to see Duff Beer glasses and gear everywhere we toured." And the rest, as they say, is history. Anybody else thirsty? www.wtam.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=104766&article=9097578

DUFF MCKAGAN Interviewed On 'Connie Martinson Talks Books'Connie Martinson, host of the syndicated television show "Connie Martinson Talks Books", which airs on public television, recently conducted an interview with Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES, DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED) about Duff's new book, "It's So Easy (And Other Lies)". You can now watch the chat below. "It's So Easy (And Other Lies)" landed at position No. 17 on the New York Times "Hardcover Nonfiction" best sellers list. The book arrived on October 4 via Touchstone Books (formerly Touchstone Fireside), a division of Simon & Schuster. The first 80 pages of "It's So Easy (And Other Lies)" can be read at this location. In this raw, utterly candid memoir, McKagan, the rock legend and founding member of rock supergroups GUNS N’ ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER, shares his story of excess, angst, struggle and triumph. "It's So Easy" details Duff's rise to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, his personal crash and burn, his phoenix-like transformation via a unique path to sobriety, and his success as a savvy business investor and loving husband and father. In a voice that is as honest as it is indelibly his own, Duff — one of rock's smartest and most articulate personalities — takes readers on his harrowing journey through the dark heart of one of the most notorious bands in rock-and-roll history and out the other side. Duff's VELVET REVOLVER/GUNS N' ROSES bandmate Slash has published his own book, as has ex-GUNS drummer Steven Adler, who released his life story, "My Appetite For Destruction: Sex And Drugs And Guns N' Roses", in July 2010. source: www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=165038
