Duff McKagan’s column runs every Thursday on Reverb. He writes about what music is circulating through his space every Monday.I am pretty fucking psyched to say that my band Loaded is doing a record this month with legendary Seattle-based producer Terry Date.If you haven’t heard of this guy, well then, you must have skipped over the genre of “hard rock” over the last 25 years or so. A recent glance at his Wikipedia page reminded me just how much he has contributed to the cause. Here are just a very few.Soundgarden, Louder Than Love (1989): The sound of this record back in the late ’80s really changed how records were made after its initial release. Gone was the histrionic “metal” drum samples and wimpy guitars.Screaming Trees, Uncle Anesthesia (1991): It is nice to do a record with someone whose very work has been an inspiration.
