he played this last friday as well, great solo

Killer solo, loved how they turned Scott's mike off... Nobody wanted to hear him sing over that anyway!  Awesome!

Wow, just wow!  :drool:

I am going tonight....got some free tickets...hopefully they keep Weiland's mic off the whole night. : ok:

Man, have a great time Madgas!!!  Slash is on fire lately!

I cannot stop watching this solo.  Don't know if its because I filmed it, or because its that bad ass.  Ya, its because Slash is that bad ass.  For those keeping tabs on attendance, it was a sell out on a Tuesday night.  Pretty impressive.  We love good rock here in the south!  ha!

Here are the rest of the clips.  Finally got them all up. I now there is plenty of ammo for the anti scott guys on that patience clip.  But, I am objective and fair.  So the good with the bad.  I posted the good clip here a couple months ago and I thought scott did good then.  But this version is awful.  That aside, best concert I have been to in a long time.  AIC was good, but VR much better.

First clip a blistering Slash solo, glad to see these are back!!

One more time...thanks!? That solo was killer!!? It should take everybody's thoughts away from "Slash just isn't the same anymore - no solos - he's lost it, etc."

At least off during Slash's solos :)

Weiland ended up damn solid in Atlanta :o he is still a douche bag but he nailed Brownstone, Easy, and Patience. Yes, I said it and will give credit where credit is due. The show was good and I was pleasantly suprised. Slash was awesome-Kushner kinda sucks, Duff was great on complimentary vocals with Patience and Easy. Sorum was good as well.

AIC was the shit though. Velvet had to step up their game because the crowd was really in to AIC. All in all a good night. : ok:

ps I did get a little misty eyed at the crowd reaction to the Gnr songs. But, hey, I'm an old fucker. ;)

Wow!!!!  I am glad you liked weiland!  He is a good frontman, when he isn't crawling on the stage about to pass out!  Ha!  Glad you had a killer time.  Did he play the same solo?

I don't think so but I could be wrong. Slash was simply outstanding though. My only complaint was playing Interstate Love Song sitting down really drained the energy out of the song. I also wish they would have played this show at the Fox Theatre (5000 seats) or The Tabernacle. They had the entire lawn blocked off due to poor ticket sales. However, it was alright because it forced everyone in to the seated area and made it a little more intimate. There was probably only 5000 or so people there. The crowd was energetic though.

can someone rip the audio from the slash solo?

I think Slash is playing maybe the best he has ever played right now.  And that is saying a lot!

^^^Smoking Guns maybe you can answer this...from the clips that you posted it is obvious that Slash put on a great performance at your show.  A lot of the last reviews I read had good things to say about the band but took issue with Weilands performance.  Here is the review from your show, is this the way you saw it?  Do I have the right show?

Here is some of the review:

The Birmingham News

Weiland's bad day turns into lackluster show

Thursday, October 04, 2007
MARY COLURSO
News staff writer

Scott Weiland and the other members of Velvet Revolver seemed to be in different bands - or on different planets - during a Tuesday performance at the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Pelham.

In one of those worlds, four veteran rock musicians were doing their jobs in a loud, heavy, professional manner. Nothing too radical, nothing too inspired, except for a few of Slash's whirling guitar solos.

In the alternative universe, Weiland was writhing and primping in snaky-flaky style, doing everything he could to distract the audience's attention from his hoarse, inconsistent vocals and occasional tendency to mumble-jumble the lyrics.

Weiland rambled and ranted during his comments to the audience. He wore mirror sunglasses and a faux police cap that might have looked cool when he joined Velvet Revolver, but seemed rather silly now, four years later. He shouted into a megaphone and sang with his back to the crowd.

Forget that the outdoor amphitheater was less than half full, with an empty third tier and open seats scattered throughout the bottom two tiers.

But wacked-out Weiland didn't live up to his bandmates' standard. For Velvet Revolver to really click, all of its members need to be on target.

Wow, yes!!!!!!!? ^^^^^ Spot on.? The only thing I would say is that Slash is "very" inspired to me.? My goodness, you saw the clips.? The band was brilliant.? On Fall to Pieces, Scott was brilliant.? On SBQM, again, Scott was great.? This whole review is based on one song, "Patience".? Scott butchered it so bad.? And for that, it singlehandedly took it from an outstanding show to just a good one.? It pissed me off.? However, I am mainly there to see Slash, Sorum, and Duff, they don't disappoint.

That review was pretty much dead on.  She reviewed them in 04 and gave them higher marks.

Thanks...nice to get it from someone who was at the show. : ok:

Look at this quote you left out from the full review... Is this chic from our forum?  ha!

"Audiences have seen manic moves done before, and much better, by frontmen ranging from Jim Morrison of the Doors to Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses. Both of those vocalists had career-destroying meltdowns that played out on stage, but they made some memorable music before their implosions.

Weiland simply isn't in the same league when it comes to personal charisma or artistic vision, on a good day or a bad one.

Tuesday, it appeared, was a bad one. "

Patience must be an odd song to sing, since both Axl and not Scott has problems putting the right lyrics at the right time ;D

slash is always on fire  ;D

its cause it easier for someone to cover a song  rather than play one theyve been doing for a long time, not to mention, scott sits down right infront of a monitor screen with the lyrics.

the hell it is!
Ive played in bands, and I usually hated doing covers. it just feels better and more right playing your own stuff because you know it in and out and you can better expect what the other bandmembers are gonna do.
easier to cover a song....gimme a break.

also, Axl has monitors all over the stage as well.

scott's voice has been all over the place recently , thats down to him not monitors.

axl has them good for him, it means he's less likely to fuck up and so put on a better show.

that's not what I mean. I was talking about him singing some lyrics at the wrong place in the song. Axl has done that too.

Patience 10/2/07

"why don't you film so I can enjoy?"
hahha, was that you Smoking Guns?

Yes, I filmed, I just wanted to rock out.  But since my buddies were not interested in bailing me out.  Ha, can you hear security to tell me to put up my camera?  HAHAHA, I sacrificed for HTGTH!!!!  Jarmo, I should get poster of the fucking month for what I did!  Gave all the haters ammo too!

Its no "Beautiful" but then again what is? ;D ;D :hihi: :hihi:



WOW Holy shit, That solo melted my fucking ears, I gotta go get hearing aids now.


Slash is the greatest period!


Please Drop Patience from the setlist

Holy shit that was horrible

you get my vote for sure! : ok:

Ha, but D, I just love those out of tune bends and missed notes, its so beautiful in "beautiful" as well... HAHAHAHA

Oh, and thanks Slovak! 

D, Slash is a top 5 rock player all time for sure.  His is my favorite by far.  He is just so fucking cool!

and the longevity of your bands  ::)

wow, another killer Slash solo, just 3 nights after the killer one I filmed!!!  He is a monster!

Wow........beyond awesome! 

don't see what that has to do with anything. but my last band lasted about 4 years.? ::)

You know, a solo like this and one from earlier in the week.... I just drops my jaw.  That is worth price of admission alone

I dont see anything special about it.  he's just noodling around for a minute. 

I haven't seen a single positive comment from you on this board.

Although, I must add that I didn't see anything special about the second clip. The fist solo is, indeed, killer.

Let It Roll is a pretty kickass song.  I also like Slither and You've Got No Right.

yea that second clip was pretty lame, nothing to get excited about.  the first one was better and pretty cool, but nothing special.

You just can't find anything positive about anything if it's not about the band today, can you?  You let that bias overtake everything and all your statements.  I like to try to keep a perspective of GnR as a "whole", not just then or not just now.   

I find it ironic that you use "Zig Zag", which I'm only going to assume relates to Teddy Andreadis, who is no longer with GnR and is more in the "Slash camp" (if you will), playing with him in Blues Ball. 

thats because Teddy ZigZag is god.

I call it like i see it.  that guitar playing was nothing special.  i guess you didn't see the post i made right before this one.
