Beautiful Disease was to be the second solo album released by then ex-Guns N' Roses's bassist Duff McKagan in 1999. However, it was shelved after a merger between McKagan's parent label Polygram and Universal.[2]

Overview

In the studio, Duff recorded all instruments and vocals on the album, by himself, with the addition of guests Mike Bordin and ex-Guns N' Roses members Slash and Izzy Stradlin.[3] On tour, McKagan was joined by Dez Cadena of Black Flag, Taz Bentley of the Burden Brothers and Michael Barragan of Plexi.[4]

Live versions of most of the songs (including some outtakes like "Ridin' Home", which was also co-written by Izzy Stradlin) were eventually released on Loaded's Episode 1999: Live live album. A different version of "Mezz" can be found on the record McKagan made with 10 Minute Warning in 1998. This alternative version has different lyrics and a different vocal melody.
