McKagan's PlaylistThe Life asked columnist Duff McKagan to give us some music recommendations. Here's what he had to say:
Down: "Bury Me In Smoke" from "Nola" (iTunes | Amazon) -- Maybe one of the most epic live songs ever. It is no wonder that the fierce Down choose to end their live set with this damn fine rock song. I love this band.
Faith No More: "Easy" from "Angel Dust" (iTunes | Amazon) -- Yes, yes. I know it's a cover song and all, but FNM's live version of this R&B classic is not ever to be missed! On a side note … I witnessed FNM cover Peaches & Herb's "Reunited" a couple of years ago when they got the band back together. A priceless moment.
Alice in Chains: "Would" from "Dirt" (iTunes | Amazon) -- I just saw 50,000 Chileans lose their minds to this song the other night. You couldn't even hear the band, the crowd was just that loud.
