Some of you act as if someone comparing Velvet Revolver to GNR is something new. It's not, and it will always happen. And it just so happens that almost everyone that has heard anything from either camp can clearly say GNR is more talented, lyrically and musically. The songs that are compared are irrelevant, it's what's behind the songs that they're comparing. He just basically said that had they stayed with Axl, they'd be doing a lot better being complimented by his talent, rather than Weiland's.
The reality of all this is when you hear VR on the radio who will you automatically think of?
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
Everyone will think that STP has a new album out.
On the other hand, Axl has one of the most recognizable voices in Rock.
I can guarantee you that GNR music will blow away any rendition of what "NEW STP" will have.
What Axl has in store for us is great. It will make everyone forget all the bs and make everyone remember why Axl Rose defined Rock
And VR will follow the footprints of snakepit and others.......
This is the most disturbing post I've ever seen.
