July 04, 2010

"Hey everyone! Sorry that things have been quiet here for awhile, we have all been busy doing what we all do between making records, touring etc. BUT! The time has come! We have been writing for the last few months and next week we start pre-production on the new Loaded record! We couldn't be happier and we think you fuckers will be too! As it is looking, we will be recording it in August and thus begins Loaded Mach III! In the upcoming weeks we will be shooting more webisodes documenting the shenanigans that always surround us, and also coming up with cool things to keep you all a part of this whole thing. We can't wait to get it all going. We miss you all!"

That's awesome, I thought the album SICK was a very strong rock record, and one of my favourites to come out that year.
Definitely looking forward to the next one!

oh yeah! Sick is awesome and also one of my fave albums of that year.

Id much rather hear Loaded than Janes Addiction any day of the week. Hopefully he gets away from that soon

i know Duff is a nice guy etc but he makes it sound like TOO much of an honor to play with JA.. u are Duff McKagan, u were in a way bigger band than JA. Stop acting like its the greatest honor of ur life.

It has just been announced by Isaac Carpenter (the drummer) on Facebook, that work on the album begins today, with Terry Date producing.

Wow, Terry Date?
He's more well known for working with heavier bands (Pantera, Deftones), so it will be interesting to see what he brings out of Loaded!

DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED Taps Producer TERRY DATE For New Album - Aug. 4, 2010

DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, the band led by VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan, has tapped veteran rock producer Terry Date (SOUNDGARDEN, PANTERA, DEFTONES) to helm the sessions for the group's new album. The band is scheduled to enter a Seattle-area studio tomorrow to begin recording the effort, which is tentatively due in early 2011.

DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED recently parted ways with Century Media Records after releasing one EP (2008's "Wasted Heart") and one full-length album (2009's "Sick") through the label.

Drummer Isaac Carpenter (LOUDERMILK, GOSLING, OURS, THE EXIES) joined DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED as the replacement for Geoff Reading, who left the band last year.

"Sick" sold around 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 43 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Sick" was released in North America on April 7, 2009 via Century Media Records. An e-card for the CD, which was produced by Martin Feveyear (PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, KINGS OF LEON), is available at this location.

Loaded's Headed Into the Studio With Terry Date, the Guy Behind the Records That Inspire the Records I Strive to Make

By Duff McKagan, Mon., Aug. 9 2010

I am pretty fucking psyched to say that my band Loaded is doing a record this month with legendary Seattle-based producer Terry Date.

If you haven't heard of this guy, well then, you must have skipped over the genre of "hard rock" over the last 25 years or so. A recent glance at his Wikipedia page reminded me just how much he has contributed to the cause. Here are just a very few.

Soundgarden, Louder Than Love (1989): The sound of this record back in the late '80s really changed how records were made after its initial release. Gone was the histrionic "metal" drum samples and wimpy guitars.

Screaming Trees, Uncle Anesthesia (1991): It is nice to do a record with someone whose very work has been an inspiration. Many times in the studio over the years, I will have to audibly reference sounds of other records to a producer so that we can get on the same page. Terry Date has made many of those records. This Trees record is one of them.

Slipknot, "Vermillion," Vol.3 (2004): Need I say more?

Still can't see the first video, but in the second there's some pretty cool music I hear!

[AxlReznor]

You're not missing much with the first video. It's like 50 seconds of Duff's dog snoring, with some close-ups of the dog's face and balls. And that's it.
The second video, however, is awesome. I wish more bands would make their webisodes worth watching.
