BASSIST DUFF MCKAGAN AND HIS MUSICAL PERFORMANCE IN THE BAND GUNS N´ ROSES

This article addresses a topic related to the genius of a contemporary musician who continues to present his entire creation to his fans, along with his bandmates. This is Duff McKagan, the original bassist for Guns n' Roses, responsible for producing international music classics that have become epic over the years. He became an erudite based on his musical experience, built through contact with the underground punk rock style and his time in around 31 bands of the genre, before joining Guns, playing several types of instruments. The linearity with which Duff explores the sound of his bass, leaving no open spaces, allows us to hear his melody as such, containing just the right amount of weight and the exact speed to prevent the listener from getting distracted by Slash's bold and radical maneuvers. This is a musical phenomenon, something that is rarely seen in the history of music, especially with regard to this instrument, in particular, since everyone is accustomed to its deep and heavy sound. Michael Andrew McKagan, born on February 5, 1964, became known in the world of international heavy music as Duff McKagan, especially driven by the success of his band Guns N' Roses. He is one of the rare musicians who did not make an extreme effort to let the shine of his success and his genius take him out of his quiet and reserved world, although he felt, late in life, that he was being overshadowed in his band, even though he was one of the pillars of their music.
