Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Velvet Revolver "Contraband" = -0?These fucking cunts need to be lined up and shot in front of people they care about. What a joke, what a bunch of narcissistic morons who really think they're doing something new. They're so insipid they remind me of an SNL skit about a "rock band" more than anything else. When will that loser from STP learn that the "act" he's playing was already perfected by Bob Geldof in The Wall, and the rest of them?stop with the super macho, leather pants, "Bro we're rockin!!!!" bullshit. It's lame, and maybe if they focused as much on writing songs as they do on their image they might not suck as much.

I don't agree w his review but his comments R funny.

didn't  Iann Robinson work for MTV ?

wow, pretty harsh, even a band I hate I wouldn't get this hell bent over.. He dissed them when it first came out. I remember he was so happy when everyone got to see BH play in the post vmas... I think they could have done better too, but I don't think they are trying to act a certain way with clothing.. Slash has always dressed liekt hat, scott has always been died hair and shirtless, matt looks like he's more preppy meterosexual so less rocker, dave use to have long hair but dresses pretty casual jeans t shirt..

Sounds more like just a really angry personal beef that anything with the like or dislike of the album.. he's so metal :hihi: CB isn't fore everyone, I just would have taken his opinion better if it wasn't just an all out assault on bashing...

yes he was the fat guy who had all the tattoos that thought he was so metal

wow, well to be fair, i suppose it was kinda hard for the interviewer to hear iann speaking through the crappy drive-thru speakers at McDonalds.

I'm not going to bag the guy, I just thought his whole outlook and reaction towards the members of vr ,scott were more hatred then a fair review being the thing said contraband.. What if he never saw them how would he review the album :hihi:

how is this funny???  the guy is an idiot.  This shouldn't have been posted.  Why pay any attention to this babbling moron????

haha! damn that was hilarious man! :hihi:
people act so damn fly in those interviews at Metal Sludge, most of the people interviewed are envious about other peoples success, such as VR. Im not saying that's the case here, but I see it all the time over there.
it's funny to read sometimes though ;D

I wonder what Uncle Finster listens to?  My guess would be gay ass emo-shit or Celion Dion... :hihi:

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

I was very funny really, who cares what this fat pet thinks. I thought his picture was even more funny!  ;D

that's funny, cuz it looksl like he's hanging out in front of a store called "emo's".

Probably has a tattoo somewhere on him that says "D&D 4 Life"

do you mean fester from the addam's family.?

What a lame ass...  Ok when I first saw the name, I had no idea who this person was, then when I saw the pic I recognized him.   Now most people don't even know who he is and I am going to listen to some ridiculous comments he has to make about some of the worlds greatest rock musicians.   Right ::)

He's just jealous cos he's a fat mess, let's see him join an RnR band and not get abuse over his appearence. Fat thick.

Yep thats who I thought it was that guy always pissed me off.

what a goofy gay bastard, I guess he got mad cause MTV dropped his lame poser ass.

There are plenty of ways to insult VR and be funny.  This was not a good example of that.

Most of it is crap, but I do agree with this line:

What a blabbering fool! He OBVIOUSLY has No idea what he is talking about... we all know that VR is a kick ass RnR band, and as far as im concerned... just like i dont take any notice of the rest of the idiots who dont like the music i do... i am going to ignore him!

idiot. :yes:

This fat piece of shit has said Meshuggah is the best band in the world. Hahaha this guy is a fucking fat faggot

you really think they are so into their image?? I never saw it that way, most are just jeans and sneakers t shirt type of guys. Scott always colored his hair... To me image is like kiss or gwar or insane clown posse or slipnot.. The guy iann just seemed like an angry dick for some reason not someone trying to review or talk about an album..

he talks about scott, the fat bald guy who wears t shirts all year round is such a new style :hihi: Matt pinfield lite :rofl:

:hihi: Matt pinfield lite :rofl:









 :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Image doesnt always mean clothes. What I mean is that they try too hard to make people think they are a "bad ass rnr band" and that they are "dangerous". If they actually took more time to write the songs instead of trying to make everyone think they are dangerous they might actually make some great music.

well that was funny, he is prob a new gnr fan. when gnr' perfomed he was just as crazy about the performance as i was.
as for the VR coments. well their cd isn't really good, and they're just a normal day band. but that was a little harsh. either way, it's just one bald guy's opinion

Ok.. I really doubt anyone but the people who read gnr/vr boards are really seeing all these interviews or them portraying as some bad ass rock group... I do think the music could be better even though I was happy with the stuff so far..

he seemed more super hype the world got to see buckethead play.. :P

Although I don't agree with Ian Robinson, I believe he is one of those people who are confused by Scott's strange on stage behavior. I have to admit, it was distracting, in the same way that Axl's shrinking underpants became a distraction.

This is an old ass interview though..... Either that, or he repeated this after saying it last year.

I hate when Iann did the "MTV.....2!!"  :peace: hand thing like hes hardcore. But I guess thats not portaying an image  :hihi: Iann thinks hes the most hardcore VJ ever.

His crib was so lame on MTV Cribs.  And he had a bunch of gae star wars shit too.  What a do sha bag a.

Couldn't agree more with you

I am pretty sure he did one last year which said each member of vr should have their arms cut off to never make music again or soemthing like that..

I don't really see how they are trying so hard to be bad ass.  They talk about their families and how they are all cleaned up, Matt is the only one into the groupie thing and recently said he is trying to be faithfull to his girlfriend.  There no drama on stage, no one is fighting with anybody.  The only thing recent that was drama was the whole Scott Nazi thing and that to me is him not being a bad ass but trying to get his point across and he didn't even wear the hat in Germany.  I don't see how hard they are trying to be this way.

I'll add my two cents... This guy was a loser when he was on MTV. He was VJing backstreet boys and other bullshit. Thats how hardcore he is. If this fat fuck reads this then I hope this message ends up putting a bullet into his head. This fat fuck looks like he hasn't slept in days due to the fact he can't keep food out of his big fucking mouth. Congrats you silly slob, you were a fucking VJ. I would like to hear some of your music you fucking loser.

I suppose if you asked him what he thought of "My chemical romance" he would be praising them saying how original they are....There entire fashion is completely new *sarcasm*

That says it all, i saw Meshuggah at Download this year and they were one of the worst bands ive ever seeing every song sounded the same they were bland, boring and although loud which isn't a bad thing the drumming reminded me of that heard on St. Anger, now Contraband isn't amazing and Velvet Revolver aren't the best band around but he was being way too harsh...but we're all entitled to our opinions.

Read all the interviews and that. In most of the interview they try to hard to come off as a "dangerous bad ass rnr band". They really should put more effort into the song writing instead of trying to portray themselves as a certain image.

I don't know if I can agree with you ChineseBlues, I just read an interview with Duff on the 2 page of this section and he didn't at all sound like he was trying to be bad ass.  All the other interviews I have read, I can't remember word for word but I never got the vibe of bad ass at all.  But that's just me, I don't know about everyone else. 

it was the initial hype to make the band seem different... But who the hell reads all these interviews besides a few random people on metal sludge or blabber mouth.. Every band I go see I don't pay this close attention too, I just know tour dates and the singles on the radio or the albums not their personal hype in the media..

I haven't heard one interview where they come of as some badass dangerous guys, they just chat with the interviewers, answer their questions and does it nicely.
real badass, they're pretty much wearing the same stuff that they did back in the old days, maybe there's a few new shirts though...
and I REALLY don't think they are so concerned about their image that it effects their songwriting...I can't imagine them sitting in the studio going like "hey, Duffman, how's my hair? don't I look buff in this new shirt?"
they're not girls you know.

I haven't read Ian's interview but it's not surprising he slams VR. He is mainly into obscure and underground metal bands. He is pretty much anti- mainstream. He even gets a lot of shit on Metal Sludge because his taste is even too obscure for the average Sludge reader. I agree with some of his opinions but he is a bit out there. He comes across as some nerdy metal guy who thinks he is better than everyone else because he avoids anything mainstream.

I guess the  truth hurts.

I guess that is why you whine a lot.

When anyone says a thing about new gnr not liking something you are there to say to opposite each time.. The opinions that are bad is the truth when it's vr, but when it's new gnr we need to hear the soundboard from that other show :hihi:

This isn't any different from Dave (or anybody else) complaining when somebody criticizes GN'R. Still, you'll make fun of him for doing it and look how upset some of you got because of these comments by this Iann guy.

It's just one guy's opinion. What makes his opinion so special? Nothing in my opinion....



/jarmo

When Zakk Wylde says something about Axl, it is usually true.  Plus everyone here respects Zakk Wylde because he is a bad ass.  When some fat fock like Ian says something, I don't get mad, I just find it very laughable.  Who is that guy to judge?  At least Zakk knows who Axl is personally.  I doubt Ian has ever really hung out with VR.  Plus what he says is so pathetic and childish.  It seems what Ian says is contrived to get a reaction and sound tough.  Well, he did get a reaction, but that is about all.  Jarmo, I saw that guys place on MTV Cribs, he is a MARJOR TOOL.  Period, end of subject.  98% of this board is much cooler then that loser Ian Robinson.  No, he is not "metal."  How lame.

Everyone seems to be taking Robinson's comments a bit too personal, it's just an opinion....

Take it easy kids...

No it's just dave is the kind of dude who never has a kind word, but he is more understand with the band he likes but never returns the favor..... That guy iann was quite extreme he didn't just give an opinion, he was just being an all out dick.. he doesn't have to like CB at all it was just the way he was bashing them,...

I'll listen to 4 version of the blues to find the better one, will dave check 4 vr sound boards or just hear 25 seconds on one and say it sucks.. That is at least the difference between him and I...

dave saying the truth hurts is him just saying hey contraband sucks and that is the truth like his opinion is the final word, yet if I don't like a new gnr song he will try to convince you it's great..

yes, the truth about how lame iann robinson is really does hurt. those were some cruel jokes about him! good point, dave :)

you know soemthing bro I really do like his idea of not liking the album or anyone else I just didn't appreciate how much of a dick iann was about it... He (pretty sure) was the same douche that said each person from vr should have their arms cut off never to make music again..  Like what has he achieved, was he in gnr, was he in stp, did he ever sell out arenas and stadiums.. did he sell truck loads of albums?  It is one man's opinions which is cool but if you are like someone doing reviews or want to be taken serious don't be a fucking dick head over one album when the guys in general have some of the best pasts in the last 20 years.. Gnr definetly the best in that time.. I hate fags that try to be so Metal!!!

Relax, people. It's just one person's opinion. Jesus, I thought I was on the Axl forum with the way some of you were? :crying: over these remarks.

then you should be crying yourself to sleep every night after all the interviews with people saying the newGNR is the biggest joke of the music industry, not trying to get off topic but your name is GNFNR2k, GNR is the bigest joke around as far as what they have done in the 2K era, with a name like that you have no business bashing any other bands. You're just bitter VR is blowing up while newGNR still sits idle

Completely.....True.

Velvet Revolver cares about his looks that is right... but their music rocks too... so f"?$ that sucker and let velvet revolver do what they know what to do...  Velvet gets the fu"?$ out of any other band these days...

                        @;--,----,-----

anyone searching only for others negativity is not too funny or bright.
speak your oppinion but mention both good and bad things cause nothing is neither all bad or all good.
(Unless you are Axl and have destroyed and band that had Slash,  Duff, Matt,  Gilby and Izzy on board...).

i think he should shut his fucking big gob up!!!!!!!!  Velvet Revolver are so cool and unique.  plus, they are made up of the greatest poeple in rock n roll :- SLASH,  :drool:DUFF MCKAGAN :drool:, SCOTT WEILAND  :drool:.  That fat pig should be the one to be called afucking cunt!!!!!!!!!!      >:( >:( >:(
