Guns N’ Roses‘ bassist Duff McKagan has defended the band playing three-and-a-half-hour sets at their live shows.According to Setlist.fm, the band has been playing shows that are roughly three and a half to four hours long, with their setlists having about 24 songs on them. During a new interview with Heavy Music on YouTube, McKagan addressed the long set times saying: “Man, Axl [Rose] loves – you know, I think it’s – goddammit, it’s like, what songs do you take out, you know, if you wanted to play shorter?”He continued: “Don’t get me wrong – my body would love it if we only played two-and-a-half-hours.

“He’ll still wanna play the show, and the doctor will be, like, ‘You could ruin your voice forever’,” he said. “We canceled one [show] in Glasgow a couple of years ago. We made it up.”Earlier this month, the band released ‘The General‘, the B-side of the band’s limited-edition seven-inch vinyl
