DUFF MCKAGAN Named Grand Marshal Of 'Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade' - July 28, 2012

Seattle musician Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, GUNS N' ROSES) will be this year's Grand Marshal of the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade in downtown Seattle, Washington.

This year's parade takes place tonight (Saturday, July 28) at 7:30 p.m. As always, it starts at Seattle Center and heads downtown along Fourth Avenue on a 2-1/2 mile route.

A couple of photos of Duff being "knighted" as Grand Marshal of the parade can be seen by following the links below.

"Duff is a huge Seattle fan, he loves all things Seattle, including Seafair. He grew up enjoying the hydroplane races and coming to the Torchlight Parade," Seafair President Beth Knox said in a statement. "He's just a big advocate for all things Seattle. One of the things he's most excited about is being knighted by our Seafair Queen and King Neptune."

I would rather have my head loped off then hang out with a bunch of people dressed in period clothing.

"he's most excited about is being knighted by our Seafair Queen and King Neptune."

I'm sure he's most excited when he gets a royalty check.

I'm not gonna bash the guy for doing what he wants to and I think he's a pretty cool dude. At least he doesn't sound retarded when he talks since he quit drugs. He's in fact quite intelligent. Hey, after you've been on Dr Phil your street cred is already kinda fucked anyway.

People always said that Duff could NEVER be the Grand Marshall of the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade. He proved them wrong. Dreams do come true.
