Here Today... Gone To Hell!

VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum recently spoke to Launch Radio Networks about the group's upcoming DVD, which is tentatively due late summer. "We're working on it right now," he said. "We're cutting it up. Shot that down in Houston early on, and we did a lot of footage backstage and stuff, so it should be real interesting. We're gonna intercut a lot of backstage footage with a lot of stuff in our travels, you know, cross-country, which will be cool to kind of end the tour up with."

As previously reported, VELVET REVOLVER have written and recorded a new song for the soundtrack of the upcoming movie "The Fantastic Four", according to Sp1at.com. A spokesperson reportedly confirmed the band's involvement with the movie to the web site. Based on the long-running Marvel comic book, "The Fantastic Four" follows four astronauts who gain superpowers after being exposed to cosmic radiation. The movie, which hits theaters on July 8, stars Jessica Alba as the Invisible Girl, Michael Chiklis as the Thing, Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantastic and Chris Evans as the Human Torch.

VELVET REVOLVER are currently headlining across the U.S. with their Electric Wonderland Show tour, and will appear on the final seven dates of this summer's Ozzfest, beginning on August 23.

I wonder does it show matt having sex with groupies back stage  :hihi:

Cant wait to get it...but it could have had a better set list...no YGNR and no brownstone.. :'(
Hopefully there will be lots of extras and the vids for the singles as well...
But YGNR  and Brownstone were 2 or my favs live....o well..ROCK ON..ill still buy it in a sec.. :beer:

I know and most likely no Superhuman and Dirty little thing :-[  They should've released one of these recent shows. I'm so disappointed! hopefully they add the these songs somehow but I doubt it

They should've released one of the London shows from January.....  ;D



/jarmo

it will be great with a VR DVD, the more slash n' duff the better!  : ok:

Contraband gets better and better for every listen, there's a lot of cool stuff in there, so the timing for a proshot live dvd with great sound couldn't be better.

I hope to god that they come to Roskilde Festival and does a huge set in front of 70 000 people and then they could maybe put something from that show on the dvd too..

yeah its still gonna kick ass because its VR.

RCA doesn't joke around!  there's a reason why they are where they are today at the top of the industry. They are a money making machine. They rather hold songs back from us so that they can release them seperately like with the VR singles. They make more money that way. In some ways I wish VR had signed with Electra who VRwas considering

I agree 110%! : ok:

It will be pretty cool but I am also pretty bummed they picked an older show.. No  Dirty Little Thing or Superhuman which are two of my favorite tracks. Plus the band is alot better now than then.... What is the exact setlist anyway???

yeah, what is the setlist?

i am so anxious for this dvd I hate searching the net for shows and getting some shitty clip.. I fucking hate downloading, you never know what you might get on your computer even with good anti virus protection..

no because they are bootlegged good. They should release the birmingham show  ;D

Birmingham, Alabama?....Yes! ;)

Im guessing this is the setlist..

Just wondering if they'll have to come up with some cash to "sell" the covers of those STP & GNR songs? Anyone with an idea how this works, especially since they weren't on the VR album already.

I dought it since they all contributed to those songs from GNR and STP

Not to be TOO picky, but I prefer the more recent setlist with Dirty Little Thing, You Got No Right etc.  Still will kick ass tho!

I guess VR will spend some time in the studio when Ozzfest finishes and get the second album out sometime early next year?

Or by christmas this year? :yes:

You reckon they're gonna be allowed to release stuff like Mr Brownstone? :-\

yes, don't you? they might have to pay axl a little % though lol

it would be the same with sex type thing too right?

I'm hopin it's the first one there. But that's just by the setlist maybe VR performed better on the second one there. But the first definitely has a batter setlist IMO.

Any more news on when this is gonna be coming out along with the live cd?

actually - they will get paid separately again for these songs.  Any gn'r or stp (or nirvana, etc) covers played live, will result in performance royalties to the writers of the original tracks.  There would be more ? for all of them, apart from matt and dave I guess.

Ya, I'd expect so. 

It might cost them a bit but I don't think they'll get too much resistance.

Just speculating..

wow this should be cool - music DVDs rule  :peace:

well since mr brownstone belongs to axl, izzy,slash, steven and duff.  Well thats 2 members so they sorta half own it dont they?

I am really looking forward to this dvd. I think it would be cool if they also had some bonus footage of later dates of the tour so we can get performances of Dirty Little Thing and You Got No Right as well. If it is put together half as good as the STP Thank You dvd it will be good.

If I never hear Use To Love her ever again Ill be thrilled

really didnt sound good and is actually bout the only cheesy GNR song ever made.
They have to be doing a newer show.

Cheesy? It's your basic acoustic song. It's probably the most carefree song Guns ever wrote.

Anyone here any recent news regarding the release of the DVD ? I for one am anxious to get my hands on this. I would say it is a safe bet this will be released around the Christmas season.
