AskMen.com: Sick sounds amazing and I think reflective of some of your earlier influences, but it's a departure from your days with Guns and Velvet Revolver. What would you say to fans of your more well-known work who are interested in picking this album up?

Duff: I think Loaded is its own standalone band and I think a really good band, from my experience, is the greatest sum of all of its parts. Every guy brought something to the table and we took the best of those parts and made it a whole. Same thing with Velvet Revolver; you still had Slash and I, you had those elements, but you got Scott Weiland in there and Matt [Sorum] as a songwriter and even Dave Kushner � you take the best parts of them. With Loaded, we've always been sort of left of center; we're not a straight-up commercial rock band. People are saying it's [Sick] more punk rock, but punk rock to me was something that I experienced and I played in a lot of punk rock bands, but that was a long, long time ago. I'm certainly not going back; I'm not harkening back to those times.
