Primal Scream - Loaded


Primal Scream are a Scottish alternative rock group formed in 1982 in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie (vocals) and Jim Beattie. The current lineup consists of Gillespie, Andrew Innes (guitar), Martin Duffy (keyboards), Gary "Mani" Mounfield (bass), and Darrin Mooney (drums). Barrie Cadogan toured with the band in 2006 as a temporary replacement after the departure of guitarist Robert "Throb" Young. Young's permanent replacement has not yet been announced. They have sold 10 million albums to date.

Primal Scream is the 5th band to play @ Sonisphere Festival.
Todays tune "Loaded" was the first single released from the group's 1991 breakthrough album, Screamadelica.

The song was conceived by Andrew Weatherall who later went on to produce it after he was asked to remix "I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have", a song from the band's eponymous second album, Primal Scream.

At the start of the song, Weatherall added an audio sample from the Peter Fonda film The Wild Angels.
