To the fools who compare Gn'R and VR

[SLCPUNK]

You are right. You can not compare these bands.

GnR haven't done much.

VR have taken the bull by the horns and are getting ready to kick some major ass. An album, a tour, videos, great communication with their fans, you name it.

So no, you can't compare them at all.

My personal Fav STP album is No 4,  I just really love that album.  

"Atlanta" is amazing - most likely their best non-single song.  I suggest anybody whose STP exposure has been limited to the singles/first album to at least download this song.  "Down" is a brutal rocker, and "Sour Girl" is a classic.

stp's last 2 albums get overlooked. They didnt do well commercially but I listen to them all the time. Booker is finally right, Atlanta is such a cool song. I love it.

Anyways I think its funny when I read the vr vs gnr stuff. Its only natural that its going to come up but why cant we enjoy both? Why does it have to be 1 or the other. I have always been an STP fan, and seeing weiland front a band liek this should be fun. Im gonna enjoy vr. They are gonna be my appetitizer so to speak. They will occupy me till the main course comes.

I had never really listened to their later albums... I tried to dl Atlanta but cant seem to find it.

I did manage to hear Lady Picture Show off of Tiny Music....  

It's so Beatle-esque!!

I fucking love The Beatles!  

I didnt know Scott could sing like that.  I think I might shell out some hard-earned cash for their later albums... I'll get back to you.

I think it is a total waste of time. We have heard 2 studio songs from these people. All the songs enlisted on Contrband have been written by Weiland... obviously IZZY wasn't good enough or they are saving them.

You can't compare these bands guys... they are different bands with 3 of them from the other.

Slither is equal to Nightrain or My Michelle.

It isn't a great song but it is a good song with a good chorus that is effective.

Slither is #4 in the U.S. on the Modern Rock Chat... soon it will climb into the top 10 on the top 40 I'm sure.

You Got No Right sounds excellent. All good reviews... guys that bash VR... stop please.

VR is the reverse of the new Guns N Roses. Sorry but it is true.

Forget Gn'R until the death on the leaves. VR is active and well. Plus they are not a flop. Contraband will debut #1 for sure.

VR is what Gn'R could've been.

Shouts to D!!!

May I suggest going to  www.velvetrevolverforum.com ?  People don't compare GnR and VR and there are not really any angry Axl fans. It' spretty damn peaceful over there and there are almost 1800 members already!!!

Sometimes...  

There was that annoying turd called Uncle Axl (or something) that tried to start a fight.. I hope he crawled back into his hole.

Mostly, everyone is just really into VR.  Occasionally we will get into GNR vs STP vs VR comparisons but that cant be helped.

Every Gn'R should hear STP's "Silvergun Superman" It's fuckin brilliant! one of those songs that just grow on you..

And guess what I was listening to when I read this post...

"Lady Picture Show" is definitely lovely...And a great example of Scotts melodies.

STP were extremely consistent and they developed a lot since Core.

Other post-Core/Purple songs to check for...

"Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart" (Probably my favorite STP track - Brilliant, swirling guitars...Surreal, distorted vocals...Beautiful hook and nasty guitar solo:  )

"Seven Caged Tigers"

"Big Bang Baby"

"Sour Girl"

"Glide"

"I Got You" (Chances are youll love this - very Beatles-esque)

"Days Of The Week" (Another highly melodic, pop track)

"Wonderful"

"Too Cool Queenie"

"Song For Sleeping"

"Hello, Its Late"

"Sour Girl"

Great tune, goofy video but a great song.  My favorite post Core STP.

"All In The Suit That You Wear" ain't too shabby either..

[Booker Floyd]

Great tune, goofy video but a great song.  My favorite post Core STP.

I really liked the video...Sarah Michelle Gellar + giant, evil rabbit costumes = Cool video..

"All In The Suit That You Wear" ain't too shabby either..

Along with "Down," that might be their best rocker since Purple.  A good note to go out on.

I watched that vid every time it came on, a definate departure for the band.  

Great song, I think I'll listen to it...now..while waiting on an STL review.
