looks like they are actually being realistic this time around.  :o

Thanks estebanf.  Yeah, those are smaller venues.

Awesome!
Look forward to seeing them in a smaller venue- I saw BLS at the Enmore and it was great, I like the venue.

Dont think I'll go to this. Maybe. But last time i saw them the sound was shit and the performance was lacking.
Anyone know the prices yet?


 :peace:

jerks arent coming to Perth!

Does anyone have any info about Festival Hall in melb?? how to get there?? Any info will help.. :peace:

Easiest way would be train I think...get off at Southern Cross (which used to be called Spencer St if your're a local) station then you walk up Spencer St towards Dudley St.

Its an old school venue...should be awesome for VR....

Thank god they're playing smaller venues this time round although I still think this is too big...I'd rather see them doing club shows I'm not a fan of those 2.000+ concerts...

Fucken hell - not coming to Perth again!!!   :rant:

From velvetrevolver.com they show an additional Sydney show...

12.04.07     brisbane         
12.05.07    sydney    NSW    
12.06.07    sydney    NSW    
12.08.07    melbourne       
12.09.07    adelaide       

So how many mins would it take to walk from S cross station to Fest hall?? 

This is from ticketmaster's site:

Public Transportation:
Tram: Routes 24,30,34, 70 and the City Circle stop at the corner of Latrobe & Spencer Streets. Festival Hall is a 5 minute walk along Spencer Street away from the city and left into Dudley Street.

Train: Spencer Street Station - 10 minute walk. Walk away from Southbank along Spencer Street and turn left into Dudley Street

Bus: Route 220 runs along Dudley Street, use stop number 5.

Taxi: Drop off and pick up can be made in Rosslyn Street or Spencer Street. A taxi rank is also located at Spencer Street Station.

Hey does anyone know if there's going to be any kind of meet and greet in Australia? I'd KILL for that!!

its a waste of money. You shouldnt have to spend money to meet someone. I did it for Alice Cooper a few years ago and I will never do it again. Even tho Alice was great i have partied with bands since then and realised you shouldnt have to spend money on it.


 :peace:

^ Yeah...while I agree with you in principle...for me its just easier this way...like lots of people would want to party with VR while they are here, and sometimes its just simplier for fans to pay a spot of cash to take the headache out of trying to orginise a way to bump into them!

yeah I understand that.

Is there anything you get with the meet N Greets for vr? With Alice we got a tshirt and Alice Cooper money a backstage tour and 1st 2 rows for seats. I think that made it alot more enjoyable.



 :peace:

Any word on whos playing with them?? And how long they will play..I hopeing to catch the train and the last sat night train is at 11:45 so hopefully ill be able to take that 1 home. :peace:

Got Tickets today for Melbourne and Sydney...anyone else going?

Yep, got my ticket for their Sydney show.

On their last tour here in 2005 I was jumping around in the mosh, this time I've opted for seats instead.  Should be a pretty cool gig. : ok:

Who is Opening for them? If its Screaming Jets again I might go but......


 :peace:

^ Still no word on the opening act...

VR alone would be good enough for me though  :beer:

Umm the Screaming Jets were shit last time..the only good song was Better..They never played there singles only there new songs which i didnt like.. :peace:

It's all down to personal taste, but I thought the The Screaming Jets were great. They are legends or Aussie rock, the same as Slash, Duff, Matt are legends of US rock.
Better is one of their most overplayed songs and definitely not their best, so if you thought that was their only good song, I guess they're not for you.

Thats cool..Im glad u liked there show..I actually like Most of there singles that they didnt play..Songs i love of theres are Stop the world,Helping hand,Sad song,friend of mine.. They only played the 1 popular single.. I was hopeing for more..
I Did Love velvet thought..Was an Awesome show..Im getting my Ticket for melb tomorrow..Fingers crossed.. :beer:

The Jets were fuckin brilliant last time. The other band I'd like to see open for em would be Airbourne. These guys fuckin rule.


 :peace:

I'm there, Sydney this time round as the Melbourne date clashes with Elton John (yeah I know but the missus wants to go!) but that just means I get to see 2 shows!

^ is it me or is the 2nd Sydney Show still not on sale?

Elton John. Man, that must be costing you a fortune. The tix for the hunter valley shows were something like $400 and up.
I wanted to go but I spent $6000 on Guns N' Roses this year and I think Im gunna follow Metallica around when they come so I gotta start saving.


 :peace:

Second + Final Sydney Velvet Revolver Show Now On Sale

http://www.sonybmg.com.au/news/details.do;.tomcat2?newsId=20030829005059

I wish i could go to the VR sydney gigs, i wish i could go to megadeth in november for that matter, But ive already got gold tickets for both iron maiden sydney concerts so ive killed the bank account. But maiden is the only one ive never seen live before.

There has not been much about the tour in the Australian press that I see.

This is an older article but has VR ever played Paradise City?  Do they plan to in Australia? ???
