In a recent episode of the Life In The Stocks<\/a><\/em> podcast, Guns N’ Roses<\/a><\/strong> bassist Duff McKagan<\/strong> hinted at the possibility of recording a full-fledged album with Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong>‘s guitarist Jerry Cantrell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n McKagan<\/strong> revealed that he’s currently lending his bass talents to five tracks on Cantrell’<\/strong>s upcoming solo endeavor, before saying the two have been considering teaming up for a more complete endeavor. <\/p>\n “We’re thinking about doing a joint record at some point. We made a video for that song\u00a0“‘Just Don’t Know’ [the first single off\u00a0Duff<\/strong>‘s 2023 solo album\u00a0Lighthouse<\/em>]. So we were hanging out with our acoustic guitars, and we wrote like four songs in two or three hours.”<\/p>\n Reflecting on the experience, McKagan<\/strong> expressed his admiration for Cantrell<\/strong>‘s dedication and artistry: “I really appreciate guys like Jerry<\/strong>. It’s really nice for me to work with guys who are basically the exact same age and have been through the exact same shit. I can see him write songs and fight his guitar for whatever lead. It’s so great to watch. He tortures himself to get to this place.\u00a0Goddammit!”<\/p>\n This potential collaboration isn’t the first time the two musicians have joined forces. McKagan<\/strong> previously lent his bass skills to Cantrell<\/strong>‘s 2021 solo release, Brighten<\/em>, while Cantrell<\/strong> has reciprocated by contributing guitar work to several McKagan<\/strong>‘s solo endeavors over the years: his most recent solo album Lighthouse<\/em>, the How To Be A Man<\/em> EP, which was a companion piece to McKagan<\/strong>‘s book How To Be A Man (And Other Illusions)<\/em> in 2015, and his 1993’s solo effort Believe In Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n
