“We thought it was good idea to put out a couple of fresh songs right here on the eve of the Lighthouse tour,” said McKagan in a press release. “Choosing David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ seemed to be a natural subject matter for me (I am of course, a massive history nerd) … star-crossed lovers in the shadow of the mid-’70s cold-war era Berlin Wall.”

He added, “To try and compliment this era, I chose a sort of ’70s glam-rock song that I wrote some time last year, ‘True to the Death Rock N’ Roll Ballad,’ another lyric where love and lust and time are the central figures. We hope you dig this ‘single’ and thank you all for just being you!”
