Well Electric Image you are missing the point, if VR are the best live act around then things are desperately bad....being the best when theres nothing else around aint a good endorsement...they cant compare with acts like the who in their heyday or GnR or acdc...perhaps you mention 'playground' as thats where you were back in the late 80s when Axl and co showed us what a live act should be like...maybe you should watch some old videos of what rock bands used to be like..have you seen keith moon play..anyway VR live act (slash aside) was poor...hopefully if they get a decent frontman they might just kick ass a little. There were thousands of rockers (non pop afficiandos) at Live 8 and VR never got them going, thats a bad endorsement. We are all entitled to our opinion, GNR rocked live, VR cant cut the big stage....admittedly with some decent lyrics and Scott axed they might have some hope.
WOW, Electric Image. That was incredibly gay when I heard it from another moron who couldn't think for himself either. Ya see, I'm a huge Zeppelin fan. The term Electric Magic is frequently used with Zeppelin and Page. Electricmage is a play off of that term, used in conjunction with Pagey. Pretty creative if I do say so myself. You on the other hand have no creativity. This is why you think VR is shitty. And tell me, have you been to a VR show? I bet not. Because you probably boycott VR because there is no Axl Rose having anything to do with this band.
? ? Now, STP was a pretty shitty band. I mean, Scott fronted them right? They were so bad in fact, that they haven't influenced tons of bands around today. I didn't even read an article in SPIN about that aspect of STP either. Gn'R was great live in the beginning, but Axl blew it up with all the backup singers, the pianos, the running around in tights. His attitude. And just because I am younger then you, does not mean I'm not smarter. Fact of the matter is, Scott Weiland is nothing short of amazing. And you are to ignorant to understand that.
And "might just kick ass a little"? Slash saved Gn'R during the Illusion tour. Buddy, I realized that when I was 12. How old are you?

Its not the 80's anymore man, and late 80's style GNR didnt last long. Time to move on because that era has past.

Hey all, i thought the band kicked ass at Live 8. Why are so many hating on them??? It's sadly all the Axl fans who secretly play VR's music all day. Get over it and enjoy!!!!! Hopefully, Axl can get off his ass and release something too and they can both kick ass. By the way, for those dissing on Scott- Even though he's not Axl, the man can own a stage and they definitely kick ass in big venues. What's the deal with the gentleman who thought they couldn't rock out a big stage. What in the world are you smoking?
They kicked ass at Live 8, along with Pink Floyd. Too bad some of you are so ignorant and narrow-minded that you do not allow yourselves to enjoy some rock n' roll.

Dude, STP was far from shitty. They had alot of good music actually.. I also saw them twice live and they were nothing short of amazing both times.... I saw them in the early 90's when everything was getting boring and it wasn't cool to put on a show.. Well they rocked and I left the joint thinking "Wow, I haven't seen?a show like that since Gn'R and this is the only great? frontman since Axl.."
Actually that first show was in 1996...

"We're saying, 'Listen, you overfed leaders of the so-called free world, help a brother out,' " said Velvet Revolver's Scott Weiland (with Slash) - before tearing through "Fall to Pieces" in London.

I thought the performance was decent but at the time the crowd did not seem to warm to it that much.
Anywayz, the point of me digging this up is...
I was watching
Friday Night With Jonathan Ross
and he was interviewing
Damon Albarn
(The
Blur
/
Gorillaz
dude...) and they were discussing
Live 8
.? They were saying how it seemed a little flat, not enough black/african artists etc. And then
Ross
said how anyone could of replaced
Velvet Revolver
,
Albarn
laughed and they moved on.? The basic implication though was they were shit and what the hell where they doing on the bill.? I think it's a real shame to when this happens on a highly rated show, one of the top bands around at the moment gets knocked.? They could of picked on anyone from
Live 8
e.g.
Pete Doherty
.? This is a show that welcomes on mainstream rock bands like
Greenday
.? In the scheme of things are
Velvet Revolver
really that unpopular? At least here in the
UK
?? I mean i know
Rock
is 'Alternative' but come on...
