Here Today... Gone To Hell!

in rock n`pop radio station velvet revolver is the artist of the month.. and the shown as surprise whola album contraband :) awesome .. super human almost killed me .. awesome album guys

Care to comment on some of the other songs; descriptions, thoughts, etc?

i just heard super human as well
it's a nice song although a bit ballady.....pretty nice slow song nonetheless....and slash's solo is killer!!!!!

is that legal?  ::)

The US has copyright laws against this, I am sure Chile does not.

Btw another ballad? Damn and slash always said how he hated playing them in gnr  ::)

Didnt Slash said that over 15 years ago? Just because Axl brought it up in 2002 tour doesnt mean Slash cant change his mind in all that time.  ::)

Yeah, that?s true.Who knows, maybie Slash loves ballads now.Or the best solos he does are from ballads....
Well,  untill he says something about it we?ll never know what does he prefer now...



Baby Slash//


PS:Can you give us some more details about the songs,AsXpLy ??

Way to try and pick a fight Dave.

If he hated them so much he certainly wouldnt have made them for this album.  Slash can change in his mind, and sometimes Axl might not always be telling the complete truth :o

I've heard You Got No Right and Superhuman.  Slash's solo in superhuman is pretty killer and the song is pretty balladly, I know that has been said already but hey, thats the truth. :hihi:  You Got No Right is excellent, Slash has a great solo in the middle of it, but there isnt as much soloing in it as there was at the Smashbox small set they did.  Either way, Scott's vocals and lyrics on both songs are outstanding, 2 great tunes that havent been played yet on the tour.

I've been here a lonnnnnnnng time and I rarely post but don't think I don't know what goes on here...everyone should just face it.  He's way to bitter about Slash, Duff, Matt whoever to have a real opinion on these subjects.  Take his replies with a grain of salt.

lovin the alien its awesome

fall to pieces too .... ;D

There you go again with a useless post just trying to annoy people and ruin a good post. Who the fuck cares if Slash didn't like playing ballads 15 fucking years ago. But you know what????? He was in a band where some people wanted to do them so he went along with it. It's part of being in a band. Maybe he has grown and changed and digs ballads now. Or maybe he still doesn't like them but Duff or Scott or someone does. Who the fuck knows and why do you have to turn it into something negative.

wasnt superhuman supposed to be a harder song?
i think some people labled superhuman wrong- its reallly loving the alien

The same people who still are upset about Steven being fired, Izzy leaving the band and the St. Louis riot?  ;)

 Its funny a lot of the reasons slash left gnr he is doing in VR.

He's in VR because Axl's not. It's that simple.  : ok:


According to Slash in 1995, Axl wanted to be Pearl Jam, maybe Slash wants to be Stone Temple Pilots? Those two don't mix. :hihi:

the 3 songs I heard:
Superhuman - 4/5-the best way to desribe it is that is is a Sweet Song very mellow with a beautiful riff and solo. It's not the sappy piano type ballad. The vocals and the medolies sound more like Oasis/Beatles and a little Pink Floyd. And I'm loving the lyrics!

You Got No Right - 5/5 - sounds brilliant! Better than Fall To Pieces but without the repeating riff but it has one hell of a pretty long solo! The best solo I've heard from Contraband so far!

Sucketrain Blues - 5/5 - this song will be a huge hit!!!!!!! If not a huge commercial hit...it will be a huge hit amongst VR fans!! This song has everything...the energy is like nothing I've ever seen before! What separates this from Right Next Door To Hell is that STB has way better production which is why it might be a single! It's got an awesome Intro with sirens...Scott's layered vocals as he used to do in STP! I can see it already when the first verse kicks in the crowd is gonna go nuts! then it has an awesome chorus and a solo that really gets you going setting you up for the ultimate finish! Scott Vocals are vintage STP only he sings the versus soooo fast! You literally fell like you're riding on top a train at 200 miles an hour!!

Suckertrain Blues has confirmed to me that this album is not the average middle of the road album you usually get from supergroups or old reunited bands. Velvet Revolver is Guns N' Roses version 2.0! and I honestly believe they will make a huge impact in the music industry much like GN'R did! :beer:

I can't wait til June 8th so I can Blast contraband in my car. That is if my speakers make it past Suckertrain Blues. I can't wait til Wednesday when I get to here STB live in NYC!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a chance that Superhuman was
Loving the Alien(Sometimes) because from all the way the band described Superhuman it seemed like more of a Rocker. And my description of Loving the alien sounds the same as the band's.

 I have heard 12 of the 13 songs, and i've been impressed by 8 of them, not bad.

• Suckertrain Blues  : ok:
• Do It For the Kids    8)
• Big Machine
• Ilegal I                  : ok:
• Spectacle
• Fall To Pieces        : ok:
• Headspace           : ok:
• Superhuman
• Set Me Free             8)
• You Got No Right   : ok:
• Slither                   : ok:
• Loving The Aliens

Dirty Li'll Things got to be a Rocker i HOPE

Yeah, that copy of Superhuman was mislabeled, it's actually Loving The Alien (Sometimes).  You can tell it's a mistake because in the song he says 'Sometimes' over and over, and near the end he sings 'Loving The Alien'.  Superhuman is actually one of the harder songs, and is probably one of the album's best.

It's really good to hear that positive review of STB, because having heard the little studio snippet from velvet-revolver.com, it sounds killer. :beer:

songas are agresive rock guys... i`ll start a tribute band with macgunner :) i liked it they have what axl lost... rock n`roll.... : ok:

Your reply makes no sense.

again, you make no sense

Pretty positive reviews. I cannot wait to hear the real thing.  I am at work and have heard some of these really low so that I could barely hear them. But STB's really stuck out.

Yeah, I shouldn't try to joke about Slash or VR because it doesn't make any sense.  :P



/jarmo

Cmon... we know Axl (me...) pays you to talk dirty about VR...  :hihi:

I really don't care if you joke about Slash or VR. I am just saying that you are making no sense.  You keep insinuating that I would get offended when peopel talk about Slash or VR. I am not like you that gets offended when people talk about Axhole.

Yeah, I get personally offended when you talk about a singer whose music  I happen to listen to. And I'm the one making no sense?  ::)


Maybe I should spell it out for you? The same people who still bitch about stuff that happened in 1990 might be the same people who still care about what Slash said in, let's say, 1990?


Axl wanted to be Pearl Jam according to Slash, Slash plays in VR with the singer from STP. STP was labeled a Pearl Jam copy back when they got big in 1993.

Axl wanted to get a drummer who was in PJ at some point, Slash gets the singer from STP ("the PJ copy band").

It's a joke.

They're not supposed to make that much sense since they're jokes.  ::)

There you go, now I explained them for you.  : ok:



/jarmo

I thought Axl wanted to turn GnR into a Nine Inch Nails Techno sound.  After all he was obsesed with NIN sound when they came out and went after their former members as replacements. Then he wanted Moby to produce his album.

I think Axl wanted more of a NIN then a PJ sound.

An ever bigger joke is how slash made fun of stp and bashed them labeling them as copy cats and now he has their lead singer.
Go figure

Isnt the best Joke how they promise to stay Sober? No one wants a sober Rock Star

Find it. All I ever read is that he never really got into STP and didn't know their music besides what was on the radio.

I guess you had the same problem as me. I downloaded this song with the title Superhuman but it's, in fact, the song Loving The Aliens (sometimes). The Superhuman song is a heavy one. It was a mistake by someone who encoded the tracks.  : ok:



100% agreed. I loved this songs and YGNR has, for sure, the better solo in the album.  :beer:

maybe it's because he made that comment when STP only had Core under their belt and changed his mind once he heard Purple with such songs as Silvergun Superman, Interstate Love Song, Big Empty, Army Ants & Unglued.

People do change their minds you know. Just as you should do about Slash and Duff

in resume i guess velvet revolver gave a reall kick in the ass to new gnr bad songs :)

People, OK everyone who is upset that Steven and Izzy arn't there.  I hear you but get over it.  Just accept that this is the way things are going to be, ok.  the original GNR is never going to get back together.  Stop praying for it, you are wasting your prayers.  Jarmo, I couldnt agree with you more.

Slashisthebest

is there anyway somone could send me these songs or tell me where to download them?

If you want them Ill send them to you but you cant here the vocals too well on Suckertrain Blues. email me at cougar.fan@verizon.net

If you go there and fast forward about 5 minutes in to the show, they play Suckertrain Blues, and it is of much better quality. (Radio 1 Rock Show)

And then if you go to the Bruce Dickinson Rock Show and fast forward into that one about 15 minutes, they play Illegal I after Paradise City.
