Duff McKagan is back in the game again. For
those of you who don't know who I am talking about this is one of the
founding members of the mega-popular Guns'n'Roses, a band responsible for
some of the best metal / hard rock crossover releases in the history of music.
When the bass player stepped out of the band in 1997 he moved back to his
native Seattle he first sobered up (wow, does a rock'n'roll musician really
need that...) and then he went back to school. Mr. McKagan is now a business
major and finishes his freshman year with a 4.0 average. As it seems this is a
man of many talents but unfortunately the debut album from his new band Loaded
doesn't impress me nearly as much as Guns'n'Roses did back in the good old
days. These twelve tracks are all rather dull and ordinary hard rock tunes
that doesn't really excite me even though they are played very well. The
other members of Loaded are drummer Geoff Reading (New American Shame, Green
Apple Quickstep), guitarist Dave Kushner (Danzig, Infectious Grooves) and bass
player G. Stuart Dahlquist (Goatsnake, Burning Witch). This album was actually
released last year already in Japan through the Toshiba-EMI label but now it
is time for Europe to listen to Loaded as well. Rather dull songs but if you
are a sixties type of guy / girl you might fancy this more than I did. A
little too hippie sounding for my taste. Not really bad
though.
