Duff, former GnR bassist, has a new band, well, more than one, actually. This one, Loaded, are a four-piece that play glam-trash punk that is not disimilar from Backyard Babies and Beautiful Creatures. With LA references similar to BC, this is Hollywood glam punk at its best. Gritty and raw, but catchy as stink, you just know this shit is amazing live. Duff does the vocals on this one as well, proving he is not just some numb-nut ex-junkie bassist. Unlike GnR, Loaded, take a few spins before grabbing you, but it is well worth the wait. There is no fluff on this 12 track affair, from 'Seattlehead" to 'Your Way', this sucker rocks. Who knows if there will be another Loaded CD, but enjoy this one while they last. Too bad they bogged out on us here in the UK and we will never get to see them live. This should keep the GnR nutters happy untill Chinese Democracy hits our CD decks.
