wot do u think of velvet revolver?

[Gilby fan]

what do u think of slash duff and matt new band?

[mikegiuliana]

I think the band is very good, it's a good thing the guys got back together,.. I love the first album and look forward to hearing more and seeing them, when they hit new york again.. :beer:I took contraband with me to the gym the otehr day and heard it on a killer system with ten speakers, sounded amazing.. I usually listen to all my cds on my laptop..

[gnfnrs1972]

I looked forward to them before they chose Scott. He basically ruined it for me because he is just one of those singers I really never liked.

[jrs2001_99]

They are amazing... I can't get enough of Contraband, and I look forward to them someday visiting the Emerald Isle!

[tomass74]

Good band, great live shows. The album is great too.

[moreblack]

they will only get better over the next few albums. And they are already pretty fuckin good

[Brighty]

The live show i saw in glasgow was one of the best gigs I have ever been to and ive seen alot of good shows including  new GNR docklands london, not sure who was better but VR rocked hopefully we will see them progress as more albums come out.

CB was never going to be an appetite or even close all the band members are too old and experienced and in many ways cynical music biz wise, appetite was a young hungry group of maniac drug addicts lettin of big time steam that is once in a lifetime shit.

Long live VR heres to the next ten years

would you have rather had some 80's poser. Ripping off the poses of david lee roth, axl and vince neil and sounding like a girl because he sure as hell wouldn't sound like Axl

I honestly wanted bach before I heard about scott being frontman, but it would have been like they were trying to be gnr all over again..Now I love bach, skid row was a fav of mine growing up, but he wasn't the right choice for the guys trying not to sound like a gnr cover band..

Weiland brings in a different voice, with a rock star attitude, very energetic and even better then I though.. I think he's somewhat underrated, he's a truly excellent choice..

 VR BLOWS!  Talent GONE TO WASTE!!!!      You can have a car running perfect, but when you remove the "Axl", the whole car is useless!  I'd rather see Axl with the remaining member's of STP! Its only a matter of time before Weiland fucks up again.... its inevitable... VR is the remainder of GNR's member's attempting to recapture the essence of GNR without Axl to add insult to injury but in actual fact, the only thing that add's insult to injury is Contraband and more importantly, how unoriginal it sounds and is almost to the point of offensive to true GNR fans who went out to buy the cd only to realize they couldn't return it after opening the package.  VR is an excellent business move to get people excited about a product, but funny thing is, most people judged this product by its pretty cover only to find out that the inside was nothing short of new age pop music remisent of Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, and all those other wannabe rock groups... Weiland was actually really good with STP too, but now he's just disturbing to look at, ie. the Fall to Pieces Video where  he looks anorexic and you can't tell if the video is a reinactment, or if it really is a live shot from a typical day in Scott Weilands life....

ok now go back to listening to your 5 second clips of chinese democracy, madagascar & the blues.

Axl will be back shortly with the rest of the songs. Remember SOON is the key word

[gnrvrrule]

I think it's as close as you're ever going to get to a Gn'r reunion and perhaps the last time that any members for the old Gn'r will ever be considered as modern rock artists, unless Chinese Democracy ever comes out.  More importantly, I love Contraband, although I can see where some people are disappointed in it.  I have 5 or 6 songs that have really grown on me and I listen to just about everyday.  I think Scott Weiland is a great frontman (not as good as Axl, but who is?) and Dave is a good rhythm guy, and both make this band sound different than traditional Gn'r.  It has Gn'r and STP elements in it, but the overall sound is pure rock n' roll and that's what I love about it.

[November Rain 91]

I was very excited for VR too, but disappointed. like some people have already said, im not a huge fan of weiland. i like him on some songs, but not so mujch on others. guess im getting used to him more though. one thing that bothered me was i don't think contraband was particularly diverse, many of the songs sounded the same, with the exceptions of the ballads and id say slither was pretty different from rest. Contraband has been growing on me more and more lately though. i wish they had come to cleveland during tour! huge disappointment they didn't (i heard they canceled cleveland stop because of something involving weiland and the courts, anyone know for sure?) looking forward to next cd though and will definitely be the first one in line when best buy opens

[Cowboy Buddha]

two words to describe them... Fucking Amazing!

[dontcry44]

two words to describe them.... pop trash. 

[Gilby fan]

why do u think they are pop trash 

[metallex78]

I love Velvet Revolver. I think it's great that in 2004 we have a band that has 3/5 of my favourite band of all time back together and rocking out again with a pretty cool new frontman and a new rhythm player.

what the fuck makes you think they woud have picked an 80's type singer if they didnt get Weilend dude, personally i wished they got Bach from Skid's, but they said they sounded to much like Skid Row, which annoyed the hell out of me .

So they pick Weilend, Weilend doesnt like some of the songs so they change there groove, WTF!!!!
Whats the difference, they kinda sound like STP anyway, i have the album n' i dig it but c'mon, it's real average man, seriously

[Top-Hatted One]

STP = better than skid row ever was, ever will be

besides they don't really sound like stp or gnr. they sound like VR

[moreblack]

kicking ass live, kicking ass on cd. They don't need to impress anybody. They just rock...
