Duff McKagan’s Loaded fans and for those that enjoy rock music……April 19th, 2011 marks the release date of their latest album from Eagle Rock Entertainment entitled “The Taking”.
Here’s what the press release had to say:
-McKagan once again takes front and center on lead vocals and guitars. Long time Loaded members Jeff Rouse (bassist) and Mike Squires (guitar) return along with drummer Isaac Carpenter who joined in late 2009. Recorded by Terry Date (Soundgarden, Avenged Sevenfold), the album follows the band’s 2009 debut Sick. A feature-length film, The Taking (in the style of a Hard Day’s Night crossed with The Song Remains The Same), is due this summer. – Additonally Duff McKagan had this comment about the album: “This record really sort of took a life of its’ own, and the songs really revealed themselves to us as we went along. Terry Date came into the picture at a time when his genius ear helped to capture a sonic theme for the record. You can’t underestimate what a guy like TD brings to the table. The Taking is the closest thing to a ‘concept’ record that I have ever been involved with. Pain, loss, triumph, and redemption. Life. Bring it.”
