Only Duff has the financial acumen to take us all to economic Paradise City. Where the cash is green and all the banks have liquidity.

He's doing better than Steven Adler, if anyone has had the misfortune of watching VH1's Sober House.

To be fair, he can't do any worse than Paulson or Bernake, and one of the reasons that Scott Weiland left Velvet Revolver is because he said that all Slash and Duff ever wanted to talk about was ways to make more money.

And, anyone who can survive a crack/heroin addiction and not end up going bankrupt is doing better than most.

Let me guess- he wants me to go heavy into pharmaceuticals and get rid of my options on prophylactics?

If you were an international rock star for years but now need to write for cash, you shouldn't be giving financial advice.

If there is a "Behind the Music" featuring you, you shouldn't be giving financial advice.

If you're understanding of "day-to-day money issues" consists of deciding which roady is trustworth enough to make an ATM run, you shouldn't be giving financial advice.

"... To sum up, I highly recommend beer (NYSE: BEER) as a low-risk investment vehicle that pays immediate dividends. If you're in the gambling way, a riskier investment--but one with a lot of upside--is cocaine (BLOW), although if you go that route you may want to balance your portfolio by allocating some funds to investments such as sailor tattoos (TATT) that pay out over the long term.

And a word to the wise: If a guy named "Mad Dog" tells you he can replace the fuel hose on your Jeep for less than $100 DO NOT INVEST WITH HIM. He is a fraud and a criminal and will steal your new rims.

That's all for today's edition of Rock and Roll is Dead, until next time, I'm DUFF MAN, OH YEEEAH!" [crotch thrust].

My dad liked Gn'R. And so do I, but only when I'm piss drunk at some shitty dive karaoke bar and I want to totally piss off/annoy everyone by singing (term used lightly here) "November Rain" or "Estranged". Yeah, outside of the situation I don't need any Gn'R in my life. But, um, none of the alternatives listed here (Def Leopard?! for Christ's sake) are any better, except *maybe* Iggy Pop, and even then it's still meh-tastic. I'll stick with Rush :P

@BookishLookish: Oh, get over yourself, it's all the same. Besides "I wanna be your dog" & "Search and destroy", can anyone name other tunes that don't suck (besides you, you've had enough to say)? His best work is still his bit parts on "The adventures of Pete & Pete".

@R.J. Zavala: Oh, R.J., don't be like that, honey. Let me school you a bit. It is not the same at all. Like, the Stooges are one group with one set of musicians, and Iggy Pop's solo stuff is another set of musicians. Get my point?

I haven't been able to look at Axl Rose since I realised his name is an anagram of oral sex. Shudder. Now there's a visual image I don't need.

Way to ruin a perfectly magnificent pastime, Axl. Why couldn't you have gone with Axl Otyl?

So, I've had to avert my eyes since the mid '80s. And, the bigger he gets, the more difficult it is to banish him from my line of sight.

@ginger rant: Oh, you again! :)

Nah, I have no particular beef with this group, it's just that Gawker only seems to post stuff about Axl and Guns. There are plenty of other lousy cock rock bands I would also make fun of, given the chance.
