Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan has praised Justin Bieber, calling him a true rocker!

He said that even though many are skeptical about the teen singer, he is impressed by Justin’s musical talent and ability to put on a good show.

He said, “Do you know what? Justin’s a rocker. Man, he actually sings at his gigs, and the band’s a real band, and he plays the drums and he’s f**king great.”

Duff admits to first hearing about Justin from his two daughters and says that he wouldn’t mind going to see him in concert. He added, “I take them to every gig they want to go to. Justin Bieber concert — great. Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift.”

What is taking so long with Velvet Revolver coming out with some new music already?!?? I saw them in concert and the whole freaking thing was electric, all the way down from Slash’s guitar skills to Scott Weiland’s singing into a megaphone.

The band says that they are in no hurry to make anything new, insisting they will regroup “when it is supposed to happen.” So I guess they want a singer to just fall from the sky?

Bassist Duff McKagan said, “Either you’ve got the guy or you’ve not and we’ve worked with some really talented guys. The trick is getting the chemistry right. Slash is making his solo record, which he’s desperately needed to do for years, so I’ll keep working with my other band Loaded, he’ll do that and music will happen when it’s supposed to happen. The right guy will fall into our laps when he is supposed to and maybe that’s why it hasn’t happened yet.”

How about them all working together to give Axl Rose another try? Is that reaching?
