Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Saw Velvet Revolver at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville last night. I Have to say Scott was really on. I have seen VR 3 times now and I saw STP when I was 11 and he sounded better last night than any other time I've seen him. Plus he was dancing around and moving alot more. He definately put on a great show. They played 6 new songs (Let It Roll, She Mine, This Fight, She Builds Quick Machines, Just Sixteen, Get Out The Door) And the Talking Heads cover. I was relieved that out of all the new stuff SBQM by far sounded the worst. It's mind boggling that anyone chose that to be the lead single. I am disappointed tho that one major gripe I had with Contraband will probably be one I'll have with Libertad. None of the new stuff has alot of soloing in it. It's a waste of a perfectly good Slash. Overall tho they sounded great. All of them had a ton of energy and put on a great show.

Nice review man.

Thanks for the review.? Can you tell us what time they came on and ended?? What about The Actual start time? Was The Actual worth seeing? I'm going on Tues.

I think alot of it is due to the small club environment. I saw them in Chicago last week and totally agree they sounded better than the other 3 times I had seen them and were so much more energized. The crowds were way more into to than I remember in the past, because I think there are more VR fans going to these shows instead of the first go around where it was supported more by GNR/STP fans interested in those guys new project.

Glad you enjoyed yourself. Did you find Wish You Were Here as killer live as I did?

VR Cam on around 10pm; I don't know wjat time the Actual came on though...I was outside in the smoking area

I though the actual was horrible. if i were you, id do some drinking outside while they are playing. VR sounded awesome. I loved the the jam they did at the end of set you free, slash had an amazing solo before wish you were here, and the band sounded really tight. I didn't care too much for the new songs but i won't judge them until i hear the new album. By far the best songs were - set me free, vasoline, physcho killer, wish you were here, and sliver. i think the crowd went the craziest when they played used to love her. overall it was a great show. most importantly, the band look happy to be there and playing.

"Wish You Were Here!"  Love that!  So, 10- ish for VR and The Actual not worth it? I'm so excited! Had a dream about Slash and Duff last night!!!!  :peace:

If it's any consolation sexkitten, the actual are one of my favorite bands.  ;D

Then I'll def. go see them!  :peace:

I came towards the end of The Actual's set. Not bad tho. They did a pretty good cover of "Dream Police"

wah? SBQM has a awesome solo

let it roll has a killer solo...

that is some unfortunate phrasing

or a verrrrrrry good band

So does Just 16 and Get out The Door

They're all way too short for me. Same problem with Contraband. I want lots of long solo's.  know velvet is a different band than Guns obviously with a different style but I just think when you're listening to a song with Slash on it the song should have lots of insane leads.

have you heard the entire song or just the youtube posts; they are not the entire songs; or, have you seent them live yet?  b/c they play awesome live ;D

I imagine that Slash solo's the songs up more here and there live, no?
