VELVET REVOLVER Album Title: Contraband Producer(s): Josh Abraham, Velvet Revolver Label/Catalog Number: RCA 82876-59794 Release Date: June 8 Source: Billboard Magazine Originally Reviewed: June 12, 2004 When ex-Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland joined forces with former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, a rock supergroup was born. (Fifth member Dave Kushner plays guitar in the band.) Weiland's drug problems often overshadow his vocal skills, but he's always been a charismatic frontman, and Slash and McKagan had a hand in creating "Appetite for Destruction," one of the most influential rock albums of the past 20 years. While "Contraband" often sounds more like latter-day STP than GN'R, Velvet Revolver has crafted a promising if not spectacular debut. "Illegal 1," "Headspace," "Sucker Train Blues" and first single "Slither" are confident rockers, but much of the album lacks a spark that one might expect from these musicians. However, VR's vow that this is more than a side project signals hope for the band's future.?BT http://www.billboard.com/bb/reviews/album_article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000525483 /jarmo Title: Re:Billboard review Post by: starchild_666 on June 06, 2004, 03:18:42 PM prett neitral review... no emotions :hihi:
