"Velvet Revolver"

I got their album yesterday. Just in case you dont know, this band is Slash and Duff from Guns and Roses with a few new members. Its a pretty good album. Its similar enough to Guns stuff to keep old fans happy but different enough to be something new.

I recomend "Set Me Free" and "Fall to Pieces" if you were to sample some songs before buying the cd. (I actually bought this btw, I just know that some of you guys dont)

I got it, 10.99 from Virgin. It's pretty good. Only had two listens, not much has jumped out at me yet except the first and last tracks but it sounds like the sort of stuff you need to listen to more than a few times.

You know the last track, Bodies, is that a Sex Pistols cover? It sounds just like them.

I totally agree. I've always thought of Slash as that dude in the hat with no face. And now he has no hat and you can sometimes see his face I'm forced to just think of him as that dude.

Nah... well... possibly. Hmm.

Nah the ultimate rock guitarist was always Richie Sambora. Into his hats like Slash, except around first. And he has a wardrobe of weird coats. Is just as good a guitarist.

But above all else, he's married to Heather Locklear.

Oh yes and the Slither video is astonishing.

Truly disgraceful.

But Page still rules all anyway.

Whoever is prepared to be in a band with Courtney Love is a braver man than I.

I've now got Set Me Free which sounds great from where I'm sitting. Lyrically it seems a bit weak but lyrics aren't a necessity. It sounds good and that's the important bit.
Think I'm gonna have a wander tommorow and as long as I can find it a decent price I'll get it. If not I'll order it from somewhere. Either way I'm going to get it at some point.
Yay.


I like the video for Slither though, something in there for everyone. Loads of women not wearing much and Slash soloing. And a guy with a dodgy moustache in a Sabbath T shirt.
Or maybe I should have said lots of things in there for me...
The only disappointment was that Slash wasn't wearing his hat.

See me free good song shame about the lyrics it's really sad. not in a bad way but in a good way.

I'm going to pick this up tomorrow probably. I've heard it all and the album is great. At least 8 out of 10 at the moment. I wasn't convinced by Weiland either, at first. But he's rock. There had been rumours of them getting Jeremy Popoff from Lit, but whilst he's superior to Weiland I would not want Lit to break up. Another rumoured vocalist was to have been Courteney Love, but whilst she would have been good, she's completely insane.

Slash is astounding, back to his best and I remembered why I loved him so. Matt Sorum fron Guns n' Roses is on the drums as well, all I want now is for them to get Izzy in to replace the other guitarist, who is OK but nothing special.

Audioslave showed what can happen when you replace a mentally ill front man with someone else and just rename the band.

I am glad to see the renaissance of rock. Finally.

Ive heard a few of these and I didnt like them. The guitar work is good (obviously) but they seemed void of any character. There was that special touch missing.

I've seen a video of Slash's Snakepit on Scuzz (think it was Good To Be Alive?), I liked that. My way of thinking is that it must be good because it features Slash.

Well I wasnt too convinced by it on its first listen but after giving it a few plays I really like it now. Its not one of the best albums ever tho so it would probably be best listening to someone elses copy before paying for it.
