Duff mcKagan's "Sick" to be re-issued

With the wild buzz of Duff McKagan’s Loaded’s new CD The Taking (released April 19), Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its Armoury Records subsidiary, is re-issuing a special edition of the band’s second album Sick on May 24 [MSRP $15.98].

The album, originally released in 2009 to critical acclaim, strikes a precarious balance at the juncture of metal, punk and grunge. The specially-packaged double-disc comes complete with two additional bonus tracks on the CD—“Roll Away” and an acoustic version of “Wasted Heart”—plus a 94-minute bonus DVD featuring the band in full force from The Garage in 2008 Glasgow, Scotland. The DVD also features the band’s “No More” music video and five “webisodes,” four on the making of Sick and one of the ‘08 UK tour.

Originally formed in 1998, Loaded is fronted by Grammy/American Music Award-winning songwriter/recording artist/bassist Duff McKagan – a founding member of Guns ‘N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver. With Duff stepping up to the front as lead vocalist and guitarist, bassist Jeff Rouse picks up the low end duties. Guitarist Mike Squires and drummer Geoff Reading round out the band line-up on Sick (Reading was replaced by drummer Isaac Carpenter before the release of The Taking).
