R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

At 7:45am on 16th May 2010, metal music has lost one of its titans and some would even declare him as a rock god. Ronnie James Dio, we will miss you dearly...

Thank you for the music you gave us. Your voice will forever be in our hearts and minds. And the horns you gave us all, will live on forever. \m/ \m/

Now if you don't even know who Dio is... for f*ck's sake please find out about him and his music.

"Message from Wendy Dio (taken from his Website)

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends
and family were able to say their private good-byes before he
peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so
appreciate the love and support that you have all given... us. Please
give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please
know he loved you all and his music will live on forever. - Wendy Dio"

Once again, Ronnie James Dio... we will miss you on this earth, but your presence will forever shine down on us through your music and all metal music....

 

Duff McKagan's Loaded - Proof That Guns Work EVERYTIME.

Happy New Year Ya'll!

Alright let's kick off 2010 with something a bit more special. For all you Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver fans, and rock bass players alike... This time we've got Duff McKagan's..... Loaded.

 Line-up: (Left to Right)

Geoff Reading - Drums

Duff Mckagan - Vocals, Guitar

Jeff Rouse - Bass

Mike Squires - Guitars

Now although Loaded hasn't been around for a really long time... Duff McKagan has... and if you don't know who Duff McKagan is, then you're probably so young that you've never heard of Guns & Roses and their album Apetitie For Destruction... or... you should just go kill yourself.... simple as that.

Anyway, Duff McKagan was a member of the legendary band Guns & Roses and has influenced many a rocker to pick up the bass guitar. But enough of G&R for now... this time, its about LOADED!

Now in short, loaded is a full on rock & roll band that is all about having a good time, partying down and getting wasted. But of course, from a man who was in one of the world's most notorious bands... how could you expect any less.

As for their sound... well... if you're ever going down to Vegas clad in full on rock & roll leather gear swindling every chump at the tables, while packing heat to take down anyone else that cheats... you'll wanna have Loaded playing in the background.

Alright! Loaded released an E.P. titled Wasted Hearts back in 2008 and 2009 saw their first full length album release "Sick"... so let's get down to them vids~!!!!

Loaded - Flatline (from "Sick" Album)

Loaded -  No More (from "Wasted Hearts" EP)

and of course... everyone's gotta have a soft side...

Loaded - Mothers Day
