What’s that?

It's beer you get by putting Duff McKagan in a barrel, and letting him ferment in it.

 Not one fucker here can prove Harry Potter wasn’t named as such because JK Rowling was a Debbie Harry fan. Not one of you. Go on, have JK tell me in no uncertain terms. I will never believe it. There is a minuscule chance she did it and forgot.

I also can’t believe this thread has got to 8 pages!

It’s been incredibly interesting to see how people interpret information and how biases and allegiances colour judgements, and how ultimately challenging these biases or an individuals comprehension (or lack of) ultimately leads to those viewpoints becoming entrenched. The verdicts of those outside of this forum in the real world, from people and friends who aren’t GNR fans, have honestly been completely unanimous.
 

im not even talking about @SoulMonster, because in case you haven’t noticed, he is leaning toward thinking the Simpsons staff are correct in their recollection. He did mention that, at some point. 
 

but definitely others.

May I just add that I actually think the most likely explanation is that Duff is wrong? We might soon find out if Axl knows anything about it, though.

Somewhere in the women's thread there's a photoshop of the cover for the 1994 film 'Junior' where Axl is pregnant hahahaha it's so beautifully insane. I wish someone would show it to Axl and record his reaction.

Side note: I found this whole gnr world during the Pandy and one week, with too much cannabis access, went down the rabbit hole of the Women’s Thread 🤣  wowzers, wild shit indeed on so many levels!

Ask the sexed up ladies what they think on the duff beer debate. i’m tired of the quibbling and i’m keen for this thread to take a pornographic and unsettling turn.

Here’s a refresher for you, and everyone else, with all ‘opinion and conjecture’ removed. 
 

Jay Kogen, man who created Duff - https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0463124/

firsthand confirmation from Jay -

further confirmation from showrunner at the time Mike Reiss 

https://time.com/5310066/duff-beer-origin/?amp=true

 

until you provide a similarly conclusive quote from Alan Niven, Doug Goldstein, Duff’s PA at the time, or somebody who worked in Geffen, you have nothing to back up your hypothesising. 

if you blatantly ignore the above due to some parasocial allegiance to Duff, I am compelled to question your basic comprehension skills. 

 

I just wish there was some solid evidence one way or the other.

I guess we'll never really know for sure.

Duff should live up to his nickname. Wear assless chaps for the next tour and show his duff to everyone.

I’d say he already is living up to his name:

duff

ADJECTIVE

Ginger, Scottish heritage and a loose cannon

I can't believe you didn't include a VERY glaring clue/comparison. Both Groundskeeper Willie and Axl both being named Willie.  🤣 To Fans who might not know, Axl's birth name is William(Willie).😀

It’s a common Scots name, red hair is common with Scots also. Nothing more to it I promise 😅

😀 You may be onto something. 😀 William Wallace was also Scottish and red haired and named William! 🤣 I wonder if Axl could be the reincarnation of William Wallace. 🤣🤔

As Duff himself has admitted, his memory of those years is very patchy. Because he was drunk or high nearly all of the time. 

What could have happened is that The Simpsons' writers came up with the name Duff without initially thinking about Mr McKagan. But perhaps later on they thought they'd better reach out to him to check that he was ok with their fictional beer being the same as his fictional name.

 

Or maybe their lawyers suggested they should do that?
