DUFF MCKAGAN Talks New LOADED Album In Video Interview

February 18, 2011

VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan recently spoke to the Artisan News Service about DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED's forthcoming album, "The Taking". You can now watch the report below.

"The Taking" will be released on April 19 via Eagle Rock Entertainment. The CD was recorded at a Seattle-area studio with veteran rock producer Terry Date (SOUNDGARDEN, PANTERA, DEFTONES). Two tracks from "The Taking", both available on all digital service providers, are already making a splash with the public. Anthemic rocker "We Win" was played during the World Series and riled up football fans for McKagan's hometown Seattle Seahawks. "Fight On" draws inspiration from our military veterans, and proceeds from these downloads go exclusively to the Puget Sound Healthcare System.

"The Taking" cover artwork can be viewed below. Also available are audio streams of three songs from the CD — "Cocaine", "We Win" and "Dead Skin".

"The Taking" track listing:

01. Lords Of Abaddon
02. Executioner's Song
03. Dead Skin
04. We Win
05. Easier Lying
06. She's An Anchor
07. Wrecking Ball
08. King Of The World
09. Cocaine
10. Your Name
11. Follow Me To Hell

Eagle Rock Entertainment will re-release DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED's 2009 album "Sick" in May. This special reissue of the CD also packs a bonus DVD, featuring 11 tracks from a live set at The Garage in Glasgow filmed in December 2008.

DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Monday, April 18 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with McKagan and the rest of his band by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).
