Believe in Me (Duff McKagan album)

Believe in Me features McKagan's Guns N' Roses bandmates Slash, Matt Sorum, Dizzy Reed and Gilby Clarke plus Skid Row members Sebastian Bach, Rob Affuso and Dave Sabo, Lenny Kravitz and Jeff Beck.

"I haven't really listened to it," Slash admitted. "I heard it when he was making it. I mean, I don't listen to our records when they're finished either."^[3]

"You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory", from the Guns N' Roses album "The Spaghetti Incident?", was recorded during sessions for this album.

"Man in the Meadow" is an elegy to McKagan's late friend Todd Crew of Jetboy.

In 1993, a three-track single "Believe in Me" was released with B-sides "Bambi" (a cover of Prince) and "Cracked Actor" (a cover of David Bowie). The promo singles "Punk Rock Song", "Man in the Meadow" and "I Love You" were also released.

A music video for the song "Believe in Me" was also released in 1993 and received minimal airplay on MTV. It is mostly compiled of low-quality videos of Duff McKagan during his touring and recording time.
