Nice man. I'll be trying to find it today then.

Do you have Izzy's albums too? I have a few tracks from here and there but haven't bought an album yet. Know which is his hardest (rocking)? I heard a song of his called "Drove" that I really like..

  • Every act has a universal dimension
I've bought the CD + DVD + poster limited edition too.
The packaging is really nice IMHO and is graphicaly pretty similiar to the limited edition of Wasted Heart EP

I haven't had the time yet to listen carrefully to the album, only listened to it in the car and just a couple of songs, but it sounds great. Solid album. I can't wait to hear it in perfect conditions. I've already watched the DVD though.


The DVD has the following setlist :

- Sick
- Queen joanasophina
- IOU
- No more
- Dark days
- Superman
- Sleaze factory
- Executionners song
- 10 years
- Translucent
- I wanna be your dog

Great concert, very powerful, authentic, I love it.

The promo video of No More is also on the DVD as well as 4 other promo videos called Webisodes.

Oh and by the way... 'No More' is one hell of a song :nod: :thumbsup:

No... In fact the ChiDem star ressembles just about Loaded logo.

The star was already on first Loaded's album, back in 2001.
But anyway, a star always looks like a star.

Solid album gentlemen. Bought it and have listened to it 3 or 4 times already.
No More was good man.. nice intro.

Individually these guys still rock.

"No Shame"  :rockon:

My album review:

Duff McKagan's Loaded has reassembled seven years after their studio debut Dark Days (and only prior studio full-length) and ten years after forming following the collapse of the monumental Guns N' Roses era. Even to the Velvet Revolver fan base, this is likely news to practically everyone. There are so many rumors and so much associated hype surrounding the quest for a new singer to front Velvet Revolver that Sick will probably lie under the radar for some time. But with the super group amidst a changing period, it's the perfect time for McKagan to make some music of his own and get on the map. Even Slash is working on a solo project of his own.

Going back to Velvet Revolver for a moment, everyone expects a second-coming of Guns N' Roses, but Loaded is actually more suitable of the tag. They're more ragged and rock and roll than Velvet Revolver has ever been. It's just that McKagan and three guys no one knows won't get as much attention and play because of who they are... or rather, who they aren't.

Moving on to Sick, this is even better than Dark Days, which was reasonably good for a side project debut. The sound is a little bluesier this time around, but still maintains punk and rock tones. If only the entire album were like the first half, though. The first six songs are all fast-paced and rockin', essentially what should be expected. But the second half's songs vary in style - "Mother's Day" is a ballad, "I See Through You" has a punk lining, "No More" is grounded with a funky bass line, etc.

The opener/title track is hasty and a perfect way to kick things off. And "The Slide" would be a welcomed choice as an alternate opener. It's not as sleazy, but what makes it so strong is McKagan's lack of range - it actually works in the song's favor because there's nothing fancy about the riffing and drumming. Throw it all together and it's pretty catchy. But speaking of range, "Translucent" is perplexing. Is that Duff? Why can't he be like that every song? You can feel some emotion and power there, which is impressive for him. The only truly lacking aspect of Sick is a guitar lead. There really isn't any soloing, and it doesn't necessarily set the band back, but a solid lead would do nicely.

Is this a serious band to stick around, though? The answer lies in the fate of Velvet Revolver.

Are the songs on the Wasteed Heart EP exactly the same as the ones on Sick, or are those new recordings, different mixes?
