VELVET REVOLVER Bassist Says New Album Will Be 'Killer' - Mar. 1, 2006
While Scott Weiland has said he wants to make a concept album for VELVET REVOLVER's second release, bassist Duff McKagan was hesitant to confirm it, according to MTV.com. "I think a lot's been said, but when it comes down to it we have to make the best record all of us collectively, and separately, ever made," he said. "Now we know who each other are and who we are as a band. The first record was really just us coming together and being straight in the studio, but now it's gonna be deeper and bigger and all that. Concept record? I don't know, but it's gonna be killer."

Killer is better than danceable... Concept? Ehhhh Scott.

Sounds good to me... Now record the damn thing!!!!!

[Smoking Guns]

They need to let Duff head up PR, though he often gets stories confused from the past, cause he presents it a lot better and at least tells us what we want to hear.

[VRslash]

thats good news. i didnt like the sound of more danceble. killer is a better way to put it.

oh well, but mine is more professional lol.....    jk

[RichardNixon]

You guys still hopng for an '06 release?

[metallex78]

Depends how soon they get to work on it I suppose. Didn't Duff say he wanted to get into the studio March-April?

It's only the start of March, so it could still happen, but they don't seem to be in any rush.

[Top-Hatted One]

well definitely but the 1st album lacked some killer grooves. so this next album will definitely KILL as far as gelling as a band and groove goes! Danceable=Groove as Concept = better lyrics as More time/less pressure to release = better album!!!!

Why not? some people don't need to make their albums 15 years 

[metallex78]

well definitely but the 1st album lacked some killer grooves.

I didn't think so, I think there's some fine grooving stuff on Contraband.


And I like it how everyone is guessing what Matt meant by "danceable", when none of us really know what he meant by that.

I like Duff's summary better anyway, bring on the "killer" second album

[Grouse]

See this is why I like duff , He has always says what we want to hear:) and i'm really hoping for an '06 release they've still got all the time in the world slash said the new album wouldn't be out until fall so that gives them plenty of time

I've bolded my fav parts of that quote. It starts to get me really excited at the prospect of a new VR album with all that in mind!

Also someone who met Dave a few weeks ago said:

i also asked him about the rumor that the next album is going to be a concept album and he just laughed.  it sounded like he gets questions about theses kinds of things all the time...he told me he doesnt doubt that scott said it, just that too many people believe too many things they read on the internet and that scott will just say things sometimes and it ends up getting blown out of proportion....

So I maybe we'll not get a Concept record next, but I've got high hopes for this record, they seem to want to set the bar high

that's all I want.. I won't sit here and guess what the album should be like or will be like.. I'll just let you know when I hear it.. Second album should be better though being they had time to get to know eachother as a band not just slash matt n duff being old chums

[oldgunsfan]

I have very high hopes and expectations for this album

And if it's out in fall or late fall, being a fan of GnR as well, that wait will seem like nothing

yeah i'd like cd and vr's second album plus both touring, it would be great

Danceable?  That comment worried me too.  I think I like the grooves better.  When Matt said danceble right away I think of them playing some pretty gay songs.  I'm sure the 2nd album is going to  be pretty cool.
