The following is a description for Duff McKagan's Loaded:
Loaded (also known as Duff McKagan's Loaded) is an American hard rock supergroup that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1999. It's current lineup consists of founder Duff McKagan of Velvet Revolver, formerly of Guns N' Roses, on lead vocals and guitar, Mike Squires formerly of Alien Crime Syndicate and Nevada Bachelors on lead guitar, Jeff Rouse formerly of Alien Crime Syndicate, Vendetta Red, and Sirens Sister on bass and drummer Isaac Carpenter formerly of Loudermilk, Gosling and The Exies. They have released two albums (Dark Days and Sick) one EP (Wasted Heart) and one live album (Episode 1999: Live) since the groups inception.
Originally comprising vocalist, bassist and songwriter Duff McKagan (formerly of Guns N' Roses), guitarist Michael Barragan (formerly of Plexi), guitarist Dez Cadena (formerly of Black Flag) and drummer Taz Bentley (formerly of The Reverend Horton Heat), the band released Episode 1999: Live in 1999.
In 2000, McKagan began recording Dark Days, which was released in 2001, with drummer Geoff Reading (formerly of New American Shame and Green Apple Quick Step) and Dave Dederer (formerly of The Presidents of the United States of America) with additional guitar parts added by touring guitarist Mike Squires (formerly of Nevada Bachelors and Harvey Danger). For the tour, bassist Jeff Rouse (formerly of Alien Crime Syndicate) was added to the group. During the tour, both Squires and Rouse left to rejoin Alien Crime Syndicate with gutiarist Dave Kushner, formerly of Wasted Youth and Electric Love Hogs, and bassist George Stuart Dahlquist, formerly of Asva and Burning Witch, replacing them.
With both McKagan and Kushner going on to form Velvet Revolver with McKagan's former Guns N' Roses bandmates, Slash and Matt Sorum, and then former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland in 2002, Loaded were put on semi-hiatus with the band playing a few shows each year with former members Rouse and Squires returning to the group.
Loaded regrouped in 2008, with the lineup still consisting of McKagan, Squires, Rouse and Reading. The band released extended play Wasted Heart in September in support of their UK/European tour. The follow up to Dark Days, Sick, was released on April 7, 2009 and charted at number 43 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart. A tour of the US and Europe as well as South America followed along with stints supporting Black Stone Cherry and Mötley Crüe.
In September 2009, drummer Reading announced his departure from the group with Isaac Carpenter, formerly of Loudermilk, Gosling and The Exies, announced as his replacement. The group are currently working on new material for their next release.

Loaded Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can find my way there on my own
Isn't it enough to say you don't want me no more
You walk right out that door
Left me so stranded and wanting something more... no more
Why don't you just stab and twist it
What makes you wanna see me crawl for my life
So go ahead and say it one last time
You don't believe no more... No more
Couldn't you have turned away from me
Without dragging my heart through this misery
It's cruel enough alone that you don't need and want me no more
You walk right out that door
Left me so stranded and wanting something more... No more
Why don't you just stab and twist it
What makes you wanna see me crawl for my life
You like my pain you can't resist it
So go ahead and say it one last time
You don't believe no more... No more
Why'd you have to break apart and throw it away
I loved you
You used to be so sweet, you called me five times a day
My rescue
I never thought I'd see the day that I'd have to fight
And lose this war
You told me that you loved me and you would all your life
But now no more
The song No More by Loaded talks about the aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The singer feels hurt and betrayed by their partner, who didn't even have the courtesy to break things off gently. However, instead of wallowing in self-pity, the singer takes responsibility for their own emotions, saying that they can find their way to healing without the help of their ex. They find it unbearable that their partner seemingly takes pleasure in their pain, twisting the knife into their heart even more by telling them they're no longer wanted.
The emotionally charged lyrics showcase the feeling of abandonment and the struggle to move on from a broken relationship. The singer is left with a sense of longing for what they once had, but also anger at how their partner treated them in the end. The raw emotion in the lyrics perfectly captures the feeling of someone who has been hurt deeply by someone they trusted.

You don't have to cut me to the bone
You don't need to hurt me deeply
I can find my way there on my own
I can suffer on my own, I don't need your help
Isn't it enough to say you don't want me no more
Is it not sufficient to tell me that you don't need me
You walk right out that door
You just went away without thinking about me and my feelings
Left me so stranded and wanting something more... no more
You left me empty and wanting something more but now I don't want it anymore
Why don't you just stab and twist it
Why don't you hurt me in the most painful way possible
What makes you wanna see me crawl for my life
Why do you enjoy seeing me suffer and beg for survival
You like my pain you can't resist it
You enjoy my pain, you can't avoid it
So go ahead and say it one last time
Say it one last time to deliver the final blow
You don't believe no more... No more
You no longer have faith, you won't believe anymore
Couldn't you have turned away from me
Couldn't you have left me without causing so much pain?
Without dragging my heart through this misery
Without causing me so much suffering and sorrow
It's cruel enough alone that you don't need and want me no more
It's already cruel enough that you don't need me anymore
Why'd you have to break apart and throw it away
Why did you break our relationship and throw it away?
I loved you
I had strong feelings of love for you
You used to be so sweet, you called me five times a day
You were very caring before, you used to call me five times every day
My rescue
You were there to help me when I needed you
I never thought I'd see the day that I'd have to fight
I never expected that I would have to struggle in our relationship
And lose this war
And end up losing this battle
You told me that you loved me and you would all your life
You promised me that you would love me for the rest of your life
But now no more
But now you don't love me anymore

i like that growing part at 2.31, especially that guitar riff. when that part end, it seems like it's a different song and that's what i like
