Thaks dude!
Muito obrigado!

[Voodoochild]

I dunno about you guys but here the audio mix is a bit wierd. I can't hear Scott and Slash solos properly... Why is that?

[Eugene Klein]

Everything is great, the band, the song, the venue, hot chicks.
First class video. Rock N' Roll is back  

[Top-Hatted One]

Rn'R is back baby!!!

I know you love the band before even hearing their album, but come on.....  

It's a live performance video with a little story, it's been done before.

I thought it was a good video when they shot it, and I can't wait to see it with my own eyes.

[Top-Hatted One]

sure it's been done before but what band out there today portrays such rock n' roll energy on stage through a video release?!

[loretian]

I thought the video was decent.  I don't know, it seems like everything I've seen and heard from VR has fallen in the mediocre to pretty good range.  Nothing has made me really excited yet.  I can't wait for the May 15th show, though.

I can't say I'm exactly a fan of Scott Weiland's "moves", but who knows... I didn't really like Axl's "moves" for awhile, either.

The underground setting for the video was pretty cool, though.  Duff looked great, so did Slash.  No real opinion on Dave, and Matt looks like a poser.  

[younggunner]

Just dloaded it off of velvet-revolver.com.....

check it out its a cool video, cant wait to see it on tv.

[Falcon]

Cool video, the guys look natural together, wasn't sure if there'd be good chemistry but it seems as though it's a good fit.

Unsure on the Weiland look, maybe a wardrobe rethink is in order.  Nothing that ruins my impression of the vid though, at least he's not in drag..

Good performace footage,, chicks, skulls et al

[oldleadbelly]

haha falcon, good point...scott has been known to perform in drag, biker outfits, as a priest, zoro, an angel, and yes even naked.  You can def tell he has been through the shitter in the last year.  He's never been close to that skinny.  Hard to imagine he was a really stocky guy at one time.

[Freya]

That was a cool video as far as videos go.  Weiland looks scarily thin, I mean his chest is concave!  Duff looks amazing, ten times better than he did ten years ago.  I didn't like the camera angles on Slash, they didn't capture any of his cool stage moves.  But I'm sure the video will do well for them.

[badgirl]

pretty good video. the song is growing on me (i hated it the first time i heard it) but it sounds an awful lot like STP.
Weiland is the consumate rock star. I love his little moves, his trippiness. dig it big time. it works for this group too. (hard to believe there was a time when he sported an extra 30 pounds and a flannel  )
anyone think Duff's been working out?  
Slash needs to loose those sunglasses and fast, but i noticed that he is really rocking out in this video and i never remember him doing that with Guns. He was always the aloof guitar player.
Whatever happens with this band, they are better than everything else out there today (which isn't saying much) and i dig that they are older- their songs will have more depth, have more to draw from experience, and hopefully won't be indulgent in the "daddy didn't love me enough" kind of way that most rock is today.
 

[liquidvirus]

Fuckin hell......nice vdo.....the song mite lack some energy but the video sure as hell dosen't.
n scott looks really skinny....but the rest o the guys are looking as if they spent some time pumpin iron.
especially slash n duff
even matt looks good....cant believe the difference between his GNR and VR days.
but geerally its a very good video wit a lot of energy in it

[MeanBone]

kay

here's my review

Dave Matt and Duff look amazing. top shape, great looks tottaly rockin.

Slash... overweight, awful sunglasses, he's rockin hard and the solo part is very impressive. but he needs to lose the glasses, some pounds, and some clothes too. he needs to get back on a t-shirt jeans and jack daniels like in GNR.

Scott. imoves like a fairy queen. i think he's actually trying to make out with the cameraman at some point, and he makes the lead singer from the darkness look like a real man compared to him. and that is bad.
 
**************

The video will sell for sure cuz scott could be a sex symbol for girls but i think gay guys will get more lucky with him than any women ever will.

slash's solo is something kinda new for this MTV generation so its a kick in the head that they all need

Duff, Dave and matt's stage presence will problably gather more of the younger crowd, cuz they really look young and  eager to rock. wich is cool

***********

as for the song. i didn't like it when i first heard it, and i don't like it now. hope there's something better in the album.


***********
and finnally the video concept... good to see the band playing "live" and getting the kids to go to a secret show actually worked well, not like the Bon Jovi's video.



that's my two cents

the video gets a 5 in a scale of 10.

[Butch Français]

Slither had an premiere on the Norwegian TV-channel NRK this afternoon...
Cool video!! Weiland is a skinny motherfucker...

what? where? when?
WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I NOTICE IT!!!!???

[SLCPUNK]

Good video. Band has great chemistry.

[Doc Emmett Brown]

Good video. Band has great chemistry.

I noticed that too - it's real.      Here are my comments:

Slash, Duff & (surprisingly) Dave all looked awesome.  When Slash's solo came on, and the camera focused on him, I had chills down my back.  Finally!  a new generation of MTV'ers gets to see the Man!

Weiland looked okay.... I prefer him in black than in silver...  He looked noticeably tired in the video as was also pointed out by the extras who were at the shoot.

But overall, it was a good rock video which we really friggin need right now.

[Acquiesce]

I really  like the video. It's nice seeing a "classic" rock n roll video hit the airwaves. The band looks like they have great chemistry already. It's great to see these guys still haven't lost an ounce of coolness even though they are older now.

[Spirit]

what? where? when?
WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I NOTICE IT!!!!???

At the Norwegian Top 20 show... the host talked a little bit about Axl vs Velvet, and they played Live And Let die as well because WTTV tops the DVD list
