Leno Review Thread

[Jizzo]

Yes I know it hasn't aired yet, I'd just like to quick glance this when I get back from seeing Corabi and Cantrell play tonight.

What song did they play?
How did Leno introduce them?
How did they look?
What did they wear?
How did they sound?
What Guitar did  Slash use?
What guitar did Dave use?

I heard they play Slither....which is a major bummer as I was hoping to see FTP. That is according to the Leno website at least.

Yeah, Id be puzzled and disappointed if "Slither" was played...

[Naupis]

I don't think they think Slither has run its course yet. It is still #1 on the mainstream and modern rock charts, and I think we still have at least another month before we see FTP officially released. It is kind of disappointing only because I have seen them perform SLither so many times and wanted to see something new.

Me too.

That said, I'm fairly confident it'll be FTP..

EDIT: So much for that....

[Cowboy Buddha]

fucking shit, why did they play Slither again?!  They should have played Fall To Pieces Dammit!   Scott looks more like Sid Vicious nowadays.

[Falcon]

Pretty good performance, they looked cool, Slash busted out the top hat..

[younggunner]

I just saw the VR performance on Leno.

First off why play SLither again?

That was the most flat performance Ive ever seen.  The way Weiland and the band performed was a friggen joke. Unless it was just the sound, the whole song sounded flat and boring. It sounded as if weiland and the band were just trying to get through their own song. There was no energy and it was dull.

It also seemed as if Weiland couldnt even sing. ANd he ruined the last verse with how he ended the song...What a complete joke that was. How can the #1 rock band play that badly and play the same damn song again? They should have played FTP. Why play the same thing we have been hearing for a few months now.

Im not even trying to be a prick about this, in my opinion it was such a bad performance. The letterman show was much better. HAd more energy to say the least.

Update yeah dissapointed they played Slither again....also dissapointed that the camera was on Scott the whole time.....you saw the edge of Slash during his solo........Leno had the LP and the cd and mentioned they recently sold over 1 million copies.....performance was one of the better ones I've heard and Weiland did well................the crowd looked like it was really mixed...looked like a lot of old people were amongst it.

[smishkey]

Scott sounded WAY out of breath.  They seemed kinda bored.  Rather uninspired performance.

[Bill 213]

Personally for me this whole Velvet Revolver thing has been bored for some time now.  I don't know the album just played itself out on me.....I really didn't overplay it......but i think it was just excitement at first but i'm really finding all those songs boring.  If they do Fall To Pieces as a single I don't think it will do well.  The whole VR thing is fading pretty quick.

[Falcon]

 They seemed kinda bored.  

Agreed.

Apparently it's not..

All you do ius mention stats. Good for stats. As a fan of a band I am interested in performance and musical content. If new gnr sell a zillion ecords and the record blows am I gonna say look at Billboard? hell no. That shit is only meaningful if as a fan I think what they are doing is good.

[Smoking Guns]

I think the camera angles sucked as did the sound at times.  During the solo, the camera should have only been at one place, but instead it was on Weiland rubbing Duff, WTF??  Slash is always Slash and is always inspired.  Dave looked pretty damn bored though.  Slash with the Top Hat just looks so bad ass.  I notice Weiland has changed up the way he sings it a good bit.  Over all good, but I think I may like the Letterman performance better.

Can't wait for the Rolling Rock show.

[younggunner]

the wails before the song and at the slow parts of the song were cool. But the way he sung the tune sounded as if he was struggling. ANd then he butchered the last verse.

[Bill 213]

Exactly if we were going on a band's billboard status as measurement for how awesome they rock, this room would be nothing more than a bunch of guys wearing Brittany Spears T-Shirts and going to Kelly Osbourne shows.  I'm just saying that is my personal opinion....and a few of my friends that also have just said that the cd really has lost it's luster after a few listens.

I see what your saying and I agree.

I was only replying to an uninformed post with facts to back it up.
VR is obviously far from "fading"....

By the way Bill, the avatar is fucking great!  Kudos!

[dave-gnfnr2k]

That was horrible, if that was one of their better performances then VR must really suck live.

Predictable...
