Music Review: Get it used and cheap,but worth having for Guns N' Roses fans
Rating: 3 Stars
"Believe In Me"(1993). Duff McKagan's first solo album.
By the time it was the early 1990's,even though Duff McKagan had had a very succesful career as the bassist of Guns N' Roses,things were not going exactly well for him. Not only had several problems arised in Guns N' Roses(mostly due to GN'R frontman Axl Rose),GN'R rythmn guitarist Izzy Stradlin,who was an important part of Guns N' Roses music,had left the band. And as a result,Guns N' Roses had been left in a little bit of a hassle. However,in the midst of two Guns N' Roses crises that Duff McKagan had been put right in the middle of,McKagan was able to release a solo album at a very critical point in his career,entitled "Believe in Me". How did the album meausure up? Read on for my review of this:
While this album may not be up to par with the music that Guns N' Roses released and the music that Velvet Revolver has released,it is an underrated record that shows the talent that is really possesed by Duff McKagan (for the most part). This album opens up with it's title track,which,while it is a little bit corny,is catchy,likeable,and is a good combination of the talents of both Duff McKagan and Bobbie Brown(the model who was in Warrant's "Cherry Pie" music video)as the songwriting and performances on the track are really good,as well as Bobbie Brown's dialogue and background vocals. And besides the album's title track,this CD has several fine moments to offer--"Man In The Meadow" is a good and interesting track that could have used by Guns N' Roses,"(F****d Up)Beyond Belief" and "Punk Rock Song" are very tough and strong songs,while the closing track here,"Lonely Tonite",is a really good jazz influenced track that has some of Duff McKagan's best lyrics and singing. It was a really good way for Duff to close his first solo record. This CD does sound flawed in some areas(especially with the rap song "F**k You" which is a duet between Duff McKagan and Doc Newmann and was written by both McKagan and Newmann),and while it does aim a little bit too much towards ballads,it is,for the most part,a good mixture of hard rock,punk rock,rap music,and jazz all on one album. Duff McKagan's talent as a songwriter and a bassist,for the most part,show here,and while McKagan's singing takes a little getting used to,is actually a bit catchy and pretty much works for any type of music. And not only did Duff do a really good job at putting this album together(there are some tracks on this CD that Duff performs on all by himself!!!),some of the celebrities that appear on this CD as guests(Slash,Lenny Kravitz,Jeff Beck,Sebastian Back,among others)also play a good part in helping make this album bpth sound and be really good.
If you happen to be a huge fan of Guns N' Roses and like/liked the contributions Duff McKagan had to GN'R(singing the GN'R song "So Fine",and co-writing some of GN'R's best material,some of which includes "It's So Easy","Dust N' Bones","Civil War",etc. that are fan favorites among a lot of Guns N' Roses fans)this album is worth checking out. I recommend getting it used and cheap(I like this album,I can see where both the good and bad reviews of this CD are coming from,and this CD is a bit of an acquired taste that is mostly for die hard fans of Guns N' Roses/Duff McKagan),but if you don't own this album and are interested in owning it,you should not hesitate in buying a copy of it.
