About this listen
In his New York Times best seller, Duff McKagan, founding member of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, shares the story of his rise to fame and fortune, his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, his personal crash and burn, and his life-saving transformation via a unique path to sobriety.
In 1984, at the age of 20, Duff McKagan left his native Seattle - partly to pursue music, but mainly to get away from a host of heroin overdoses then-decimating his closest group of friends in the local punk scene. In LA only a few weeks and still living in his car, he answered a want ad for a bass player placed by someone who identified himself only as "Slash." Soon after, the most dangerous band in the world was born. Guns N' Roses went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide. In It's So Easy, Duff recounts Guns' unlikely trajectory to a string of multiplatinum albums, sold-out stadium concerts, and global acclaim. But that kind of glory can take its toll, and it did - ultimately - on Duff, as well as on the band itself. As Guns began to splinter, Duff felt that he himself was done, too. But his near death as a direct result of alcoholism proved to be his watershed, the turning point that sent him on a unique path to sobriety and the unexpected choices he has made for himself since. In a voice that is as honest as it is indelibly his own, Duff - one of rock's smartest and most articulate personalities - takes fans on a harrowing journey through the dark heart of one of the most notorious bands in rock and roll history and out the other side.

Loved Duff’s book so much
I am a huge reader of music autobiographies and Duff’s book is absolutely one of the best. What a talented, insightful, smart and resourceful person he is. A wonderful story of the ups and downs of rock and roll stardom and the dark reality of drug addiction. So glad Duff found a way out of it. At the heart of it all Duff is a beautiful family man. Sometimes you just need a bit of patience to find your way in life. Go Duff!

A great storyteller
As a GnR fan it was a great insight to the band. But Duff as a man with his trials and tribulations is the real star👍👍💥🍺

Great insights, super delivery
I was a GnR fan bitd and witness their garbage performance in Melbourne 1993, so was curious about an inside story. Duff’s done a super job is stepping through origins, the pinnacle, and his recovery. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the book
Really enjoyed the book as I was a huge GnR fan back in the 80s, it was interesting to hear what was going on inside the band. I found the reader was trying a bit hard to be rock'n'roll sometimes.
