Duff McKagan played bass but there's way more to this band. Jeff Angells talent for storytelling combined with Ben Anderson's wonderful keys makes for a wonderful record that will keep you guessing where its going next. Their self titled debut record from 2013 and subsequent tour in support of it was a great surprise to those lucky to have experienced it. The follow up WP2 showed they where no one trick pony. Duff would ultimately have to leave the group on account of the Guns N' Roses reunion but the albums are certainly worth delving into.

In 1998 Duff Mckagan was working on his second solo album when his record company informed him he was being dropped. Taking to the road to tour the material anyway Duff would create a new band 'Loaded'. A hard rock guitar driven sound fused with punk elements the band would release three records over its tenure. We take a look at the bands story.

Born out of a get together of veteran musicians playing a weekly slot at the Viper Room on Sunset strip. Duff McKagan and Matt Sorrum would spend their final years in the GN'R camp playing with Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) & John Taylor (Duran Duran) before landing a record deal. The project resulted in one album which we go through here and chart the bands story before its demise.

The live era disc was a double live album released in 1999. The album was a good representation of the bands powerful live sound. Put together by band members separately it wasn't a blockbuster in terms of sales. A farewell from the 'old' band, a contractual obligation or a way to keep the Guns brand relevant in the late 90'S? We discuss its backstory and reimagine a live album from the decades which followed the original release.
