Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) has released a new double-sided single featuring a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” and an original song titled “True To The Death Rock N’ Roll Ballad.” You can stream those tracks below. McKagan had the following to say about the release:
“We thought it was good idea to put out a couple of fresh songs right here on the eve of the ‘Lighthouse’ tour. Choosing David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ seemed to be a natural subject matter for me (I am of course, a massive history nerd)… star-crossed lovers in the shadow of the mid-70’s cold-war era Berlin Wall. To try and compliment this era, I chose a sort of 70’s glam-rock song that I wrote some time last year, ‘True To The Death Rock N’ Roll Ballad’, another lyric where love and lust and time are the central figures. We hope you dig this ‘single’ and thank you all for just being you!”
