Seattlehead

"Seattlehead" (also typeset Seattle Head) is a song written by American musician Duff McKagan.

[1] It also references McKagan's move to Los Angeles from Seattle in 1984[2][3] with the lyrics: "Movin' to the city sight unseen/19 years of age I'm packing my bags/Hollywood was all the rage/I came to you in 1984/You showed me in, then you shut the door."

The first version of the song was released as the B-side of the 1996 single "Jerk" by the supergroup Neurotic Outsiders, featuring McKagan, Guns N' Roses bandmate Matt Sorum, Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and Duran Duran bassist John Taylor.

"Seattlehead" was later re-recorded for McKagan's second solo album Beautiful Disease, which was ultimately shelved after Geffen and Interscope Records merged.

A 2001 music video by Eric Waggoner featuring clips of the band performing live in Japan was made available on Loaded's YouTube page in 2008.
