Duff McKagan

Posted by Playlisted on May 18, 2009 in music artists

Duff McKagan (Loaded, Velvet Revolver, Guns N’ Roses) opens up his iTunes and gives us a look at what rocks his world…

A Taste:

Alice In Chains, ZZ Top, The Gutter Twins

Duff McKagan wants you to get Loaded.

On his new solo album with Loaded, Sick, he delivers thirteen hard rockin’ anthems that are just as down and dirty as any of his Velvet Revolver output is. Putting down the bass and taking over guitar and vocals duties, Loaded shows another side of Duff. He’s quite the rock and roll songwriter, and given his time in Velvet Revolver and Guns N’ Roses, it all feels real.

Duff shared his playlist with us for this exclusive feature. Check out what he’s spinning below.

Duff McKagan’s Playlist:

1. The Gutter Twins — Saturnalia

You want a record to be a journey from the beginning to end. The Gutter Twins made that record last year.

2. Shiny Toy Guns — We Are Pilots

The White Tie Affair’s Chris Wallace shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Lady GaGa, The Script, The All-American Rejects

The White Tie Affair will make you dance. Stirring up a mix of vivacious synths and vibrant riffs, the Windy City dance pop pundits know how to get a club grooving for sure. On their debut album, Walk this Way, they fire off one delectably danceable ditty after another. If you didn’t catch them rocking with Lady GaGa, you’ll have a chance to see them on this summer’s Warped Tour.

Vocalist Chris Wallace sat down with us for this exclusive playlist feature. He turned on his iTunes and gave us a look at the music that moves him.

Check out his playlist below!

Chris Wallace’s Playlist:

1. The Script

They’re on Epic too, and they have a Maroon 5 meets U2 vibe.

2. The All-American Rejects — When the World Comes Down
