Velvet Revolver

[Nate The Great]

Has anybody else heard this band yet?

I've seen their video on MTV and Fuse TV several times. It is the band with Scott Weiland and the GnR guys (including Slash). I must admit to actually liking the song I heard. Slash lays down some nice solos and riffs, and Weiland sounds much better in a band that actually has a touch of originallity.

It'll be interesting to see how the band goes over.

This is about as much as I'll stray into the pop world. Of course, I probably won't actually buy the album.

i just heard at mtv.com that Slash quit the band to join Sunn0))). can anyone confirm this?

Yes. That's correct.

On a side note, Santana's new one will have guest spots from King Diamond and Glen Benton.

The radio plays their song all the time. And they are playing in Houston sometime very soon.

They suck.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Slah is going to SunnO))) and Santana is having King Diamond and Glen Benton on his next album? Wtf is going on here?

 

[Black Winter Day]

i dunno... tis a fucked up world, no?

 

[NAD]

They did a song for that Hulk movie last year, it was okay.

I hope Slash retrofits his kickass solo from November Rain over A Shaving of the Horn That Speared You.

 

[Nate The Great]

I can hardly wait to hear Glen Benton covering "Black Magic Woman" live.

 

[J.]

am I the only one who doesn't like this mixture of mainstream artists and undrground extreme bands?

 

[Black Winter Day]

i dunno... like NAD said, it will be interesting to see how Slash "fits" into Sunn0))). i mean... what the hell???

 

[Krilons Resa]

^exactly^ SunnO))) is going to sound nothing like SunnO))) if Slash actually "plays." It's fucking drone for christ's sake!!!

 

[Nate The Great]

Are you guys serious about Slash and Sunn0)))? Because I was just kidding about Glen Benton and King Diamond.

for those interested, MTV.com has a preview of the complete record here.

http://www.mtv.com/music/album_preview/velvet_revolver/contraband/



3 tracks in and it is boring me to sleep ... reminds me of the Audioslave project.
they should have gotten Sebastain Bach afterall to spice things up a little. Weiland is way to depressing ...

 

[lurch70]

actually i take that back ... from 3 on ... it is beginning to rock ...

falling to pieces is pure 80's power ballad ... with a smokin Slash solo !!!

Here's a link to a recent interview (2-3 days ago) with Slash about Velvet Revolver, on Blistering.com

I don't think it says anything about him leaving the band...

I heard GnR were going to release a new album called Chinese Conspiracy.

 

[NAD]

Heard this album yesterday, I'll pick it up soon enough. Lots of Slash guitar solos makes me headbang like a 14 year old once again.

 

[JayKeeley]

I don't think I like their single though, since it doesn't showcase Slash enough.

Did anyone see D12 at the MTV movie awards? Haha, Eminem dressed up as Axl Rose.

 

[NAD]

There were a few tracks with massively long Slash solos, but I was kinda drunk yesterday so I don't remember which.

M... TV? Is that like HDTV?
