Duff McKagan How To Be A Man (and other illusions) Book Review

Duff McKagan released his second book, How To Be A Man (and other illusions) in 2015.

Duff is known as the bassist of Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver, but is also the lead singer/co-guitarist of the band Loaded, and was in the bands Neurotic Outsiders and The Walking Papers, and is a solo artist also.

But outside of being a singer/songwriter/musician, he is also a writer.  And a very good one at that.

He has written for The Seattle Weekly (where he is from), Playboy.com, and ESPN.com, and released his first book/autobiography It’s So Easy (and other lies) in 2011.

Duff is very smart, well spoken, and well read.

In his second book, he talks about being a father, a husband, a musician, a writer, being sober, being a sports fan, stories of being in his bands, going back to school after getting sober, book recommendations (as I said he’s well read) and so much more.

I found this book to be an excellent follow-up to this first.

You don’t have to be a fan or even know who he is to enjoy this and his other book.

This is a very entertaining, enlightening, and even inspiring book.

Seek it out and his other book too.
