Here Today... Gone To Hell!

How about a thread for all "Libertad" related information? Song titles, clips, interviews concerning the new CD and so on.

Here's a question, when do you think it will be recorded and released?

its hard to know that man, all I cant tell is that Id like Duff singing in the cd.

I would think it will be out by the summer at the latest......

i hope and i think it's gonna be kickin' ass new album...hope that they release it before summer....

Im fucking crazy looking forward to it. I'll have fucking Chinese Democracy, and a super kick ass concept album. What could be better? Heres to a velvet revolver EP directly following Libertad

I don't think we'll have it any sooner than September '06. Remember that when CB was released it was already finished for half a year. They haven't even started recording yet, so I think it will be a fall release, but definately this year.

With any luck this album will get a half decent Producer so the album doesn't sound like the the producers goal was to create the bastard son of a third rate grunge act and a classic rock cover band

when slash was talkin bout chinese democracy he said it was cumin out in may an thiers shoud be out about april,may or june.
Duff i think also said that they've got most of their stuff already wrote from soundchecks and the like when they were just messin about.

Ahh, I can already imagine it, "Libertad" and Chinise Democracy both released in the first half of 2006, Guns N' Velvet would rule the world! wuaa!  :D

I'm anxious for the album but not getting nutty since I had a great time last year with the album and concerts.. We all know it should happen this year and we will be kept informed through the process so I'll just sit back and see what happens

He said CD wass in march and vr around april may june..

It will definetaly draw more attention to both bands/albums if they are released around the same time.  For better or worse.

Yeah, and old GN'R cd sales goes up 10000% :)

is that your evil laugh?

When do you think were gonna get a clip/ more news?

Hopefully in less than 2 months.

Do you think they are working on this album right now?  Just wondering when they start writing as a band again, or recording.

I tried my best  :-[

Im guessing it will be recorded in February/March and released either in June or July.

I was surprised that they didn't include one new track in their recent sets over new year.

I guess they are still at writing stage. I think they would probably record into April or May and an album somewhere between June and Sept.

VR and GNR co-headline with each other.......now that would be appetite for destruction!!!! :peace:

I'm hoping for more fast tempo rockers like Sucker Train Blues and less grungy songs and very average songs like Big Machine, Illegial i Song and Spectacle.

I'm hoping for some arty-type songs, like "Locomotive."

Im after that too... I hope Slash gets inspired.

 :yes:

And don't forget about Snakepit's Serial Killer! An album with this type of songs would be perfect!

Yeah... THey should also recruit Izzy to do a song... I miss him  :'(

damn man, Id like that, this GNR story is so dramatic...  :crying:

I'd love to hear Izzy do guest vocals and guitar on a track

Naw this sounds like this new album is Scott's baby.  He had the chance to use some of the Izzy stuff on the first album and didnt he wont share the vocals this time either.

Well Id like Axl to be a guest in the next VR album.... honestly...

Yeah that could happen, over scott's dead body that is. It seems like scott's really in control in the band. I would do anything to just hear those instrumental tracks that they did :drool: with Izzy

Have VR gone into the sudio yet?

About VR going to the studio, I doubt it... but Id like VR next album to be more serious... something darker... even if it doesnt go with their images.

I think Duff mentioned in his last update that he'd like to go into the studio Feb-March, but I don't think they're in there yet.

It's funny how there were all these plans for VR to have all these releases to their fans - live recordings of shows, DVD's, and all we got was several releases of Contraband, a couple of singles and nothing else.

I agree. the promised "extra stuff" proved to be really minor.
 At this point I don't see a reason to release a DVD which only has songs of Contraband, they should definitely wait until Libertad (or whatever it proves out to be) and then after touring the summer release a DVD somewhere betweem August and October, which would ofcourse include songs from both albums and possible covers. Maybe even a Live album? Just not yet. Patience would be precious.

id love to hear a sumthin like a mix between the two snakepit albums

 Oh Extremes I just love extremes!!!!!

The Philosophical Concept of Liberty
Liberty has found philosophical expression in individualism and anarchism (an extreme form of individualism) and in nationalism. Such philosophers as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau popularized the conception of the individual as having certain natural rights that could not be denied or taken away by society or by any external authority, rights that Thomas Jefferson spoke of in the Declaration of Independence as ?unalienable? and that were embodied in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution. Rousseau especially thought of them as the rights possessed by people living in a ?state of nature? and not surrendered, only modified, in the social contract by which they agreed to live together in society.

Considering there are only two musicians in VR that were involved in the two Snakepit albums (Matt on pt1 and Slash on both), I don't think we'll get that.

We need more, "Neither can I's"

to tell u the truth i would ilke to hear the new music have that grip and attitude of old GNR. not new age or 90's sisy grundge stuff. i realy thing that the band needs to be rock n roll not grundge. it needs to be realy real.. not quickly thrown to gether and easy. it needs to be intricat like Mr. brownstone, great song to play cause its up to beat its got amazing guitar and its just rock n roll. music like 90's grundge is realy easy, made by people that realy arent real musicans. it just needs to lean more twords rock n roll.

that's what vr's official site say thus far

Gotta be out by maybe Sept hasn't it?!

have no idea, I can only be like you just sit here and wait for updates,,
