An animated scene from the movie

Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan has premiered a trailer for documentary movie It’s So Easy And Other LIes, featuring guest appearances by bandmate Slash, Nikki Sixx and Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready.

The film is based around scenes shot during a solo show in 2013, along with animated sequences and exclusive interviews.

In one section, Slash recalls how Guns N’ Roses recruited the bassist, saying: “I put an ad in the Recycler, and in walked this six-foot-plus guy in a red and black trenchcoat.”

McKagan says: “I walked in, looked at the first booth on the left and saw all this hair.”

It’s So Easy And Other Lies – named after his 2011 autobiography – will be screened in various locations starting on May 26, with a future DVD release expected.

McKagan and Guns N’ Roses continue their reunion activities in Mexico tonight (April 20), while singer Axl Rose is gearing up to replace Brian Johnson for the remaining dates of AC/DC’s world tour.
