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 remember everthing, and I know for sure
Ain't like it was before, I know I can shut
that door
(chorus)
I wanna be your superman
So I can show you
Let down your hair
And move on over next to me
I wanna see your skin, beautiful white, soft in the light
We'll just forget the past, we can have tonite at last
(chorus)
(bridge)
You can always lean on me
You can dress me to whatever your vision of a dream man is
Oh my pretty baby, can't you see
I wanna be your everything
I remember yesterday, it's a long ways away
I don't know just what your gonna do
But I always wanna be right next to you
But I always wanna be right next to you
(chorus)
The lyrics of Loaded’s song “Superman” are about the singer’s desire to be the person who can rescue and support his love interest when she’s down or feeling low. He remembers everything that they’ve been through and knows that they can move past it and start a new chapter. He wants to be her “Superman,” who she can rely on and who will be her rock. The chorus emphasizes this desire to be her savior and protector, urging her to take his hand so he can show her that he can be what she needs. The bridge further emphasizes this message, with the singer stating that his love interest can “lean on him” and that he wants to be her “everything.”
