Velvet Revolver

Are these clowns ever going to release a new album?

They were supposed to do so last year, but knowing the likes of Slash, Duff and Weiland, the chances of them getting off their arse and making some good music is pretty slim!

Anyone heard anything from the rumour mill?

Been asking the same question for a while, I'm seeing them in Glasgow in June I ruddy well hope they have new material by then.

This is the last I heard about the new album...

Hopefully it'll be a decent album, 3 years wait... it better be.

I thought the Velvet Revolver album sounded a lot like The Wildhearts when it came out.
Forget Velvet Revolver and buy The Wildhearts back catalogue.

its a big machine, a big machine :cool:

I've seen them before, after listening to their album for like a day or two before, it still remains one of my fav gigs since my expectations were low, and it turned out to be amazing.

And Stone Temple Pilots, who were infinitely better.

Noooo, never liked the Wildhearts the first time around, VR are much better and I do hope they get round to finally releasing the new album - there is some real good guitar playing on the first

While I wouldn't go so far as to say I think they're crap, they are nowhere near as good as I'd hoped they'd be. So, a new album would have to be a big step up from the last one to interest me.

Could be good, but sadly arent.

Go find some GnR bootlegs tbh... theres plenty about, since they pro shot every concert from 1990 onwards.

I would and did because not one of them did or tried anything new that could not have been achieved by their original bands. Matter of fact they got worse than their original bands (for me).

I'm one of the biggest STP fans alive and have been for many years, whilst I was sad to see them go I really looked forward to this band coming out of the ashes of STP/GnR and making good tunes.

The result was an album that could have been recorded mid 1980's bringing nothing new that had not been tried before, mainly by GnR.
They released and got praise for an album that was very poor in everything but production, and i'm pretty sure they will to do it over again.

Check out their website for a wonderful ticket pre-sale. Terrible terrible band (imo of course).

I have Chicago 92 and Live At The Ritz 88 and they are good quality.
The only problem is that Axl Rose is singing and he can't sing live - he's bloody awful.
Check out the two DVD's Use your Illusion - Axl totally ruins them.

Can I get a thread Reeeeeewind!

Well I'm seeing these guys on Sunday night and as predicted the new album isn't out yet but to be honest this adds to the excitement of seeing them.

I don't think I have ever seen a band without hearing their latest album first.

I'll be getting my best moshing shoes on and pushing my way to the front....

You can also watch them live tonight at the Download Festival from the following Link:

The stage times are down at the moment but should be backup later.

Tommy B · 8 Jun 2007 at 19:19

I'm getting their EP tomorrow. Hope it's good.

I hope they've gone in a new direction though otherwise I'll get bored of it very quickly.

I hate QOTS's new single too. Had high expectations for that. I actually prefer the B-side.

Uriel · 8 Jun 2007 at 21:26

Heard that they were bobbins at the RnR hall of fame when they stood in for Van Halen

I heard it the other day, they've certainly taken a dive.

Bring back Kyuss...

Just put the EP in. Loving the first track although it is very similar to their older stuff.
