The DePaulia

Jim DeRogatis knows what it’s like to face an artist’s wrath. The veteran music critic, who covered pop music at the Chicago Sun-Times for 15 years, was once on the receiving end of an enraged voicemail from singer-songwriter Ryan Adams following a particularly negative review of a 2003 concert.
The voicemail, which made headlines once it was made public, is perhaps one of the most well-known examples of music critics facing hostility for performing the basic tenets of their profession: providing criticism and analysis of an artist and their work. The rise of social media as a dominant cultural conversation-starter, however, has given critics both more visibility and greater access from angry fans and artists alike.
Ever wonder where some of that aggression and fury in early Guns N Roses music came from? Bassist Duff McKagan likely carried over some of that attitude from his teen years punk band The Living, who are now sharing their 1982 debut album, aptly titled
The Living: 1982.

McKagan was a 17-year-old guitarist and songwriter at the time of this recording, joining with singer John Conte, bassist Todd Fleischman and drummer Greg Gilmore on their fledgling effort. Gilmore s name may be recognizable to some as he went on to play with Mother Love Bone. And that Mother Love Bone connection also has ties to the new release as onetime MLB musician Stone Gossard and Satchel s Regan Hagar have decided to issue the record via their Loosegroove Records label.
