Losing my respect for VR.

[Here Today...]

I'm not certain they are "posers." we haven't heard word since they suppossedly started recording.  maybe its not working with pharrell, because i honestly cant see it working. so how about we just wait and see what is said or what happens or wait till the new album comes out before we loose or gain respect for them. if you want to judge them or their musical talent, look at their previous album. remember, we havent heard anything and they are suppossedly recording for over a week now...hmmmm 

[Butch Français]

ok. I'll get the album, that's for sure.

[Grouse]

I really don't understand why people are turning this whole pharrel issue into such a big deal, I dont care who produces the album. If it sounds good then great if it doesn't then that's too bad better luck next time. It's all about the music for me

electricimage, stop double posting... have you heard of the "Edit" button?

So Slash plays with Michael Jackson, but once he gets Pharrell to PRODUCE a song, he's suddenly "going down the wrong path"?

Like most of the sensible people here, I will wait to hear what the record sounds like before I trash it.  It sounds like you're more concerned with the band's reputation and what you can tell your friends (e.g. "I don't like that band, they're a bunch of posers... but THIS band here isn't") then what the actual music sounds like.

^ There, I made my point and I don't need to post again right after myself.

the outcry there would be if Chinese Democracy was being worked on and or produced by Pharrell, SNoop or any1 else like that.....

Well, of course we know the Shaq situation.  And there was that Nas rumors a couple years back.

axl's already dressed the part..

Pharrell Fucking Williams...

Could it be worse...?

Let me tell you something rght now - Pharrell will NEVER produce a rock band well. VR are going to be the new Crazytown...

[RichardNixon]

I'm actually really excited about the new VR album and the direction they are taking. It appears as though it will be more groove-oriented, but I'm sure it will feature Slash's signature solos and some great hooks. I think we can hear more of a "Big-Bang Baby" sound to this album, which is totally cool by me. I can't wait to hear it.

Remember how people were saying that "Chinese Democracy" would sound like "Pretty Hate Machine" and it didn't (going by the demos). Well, I doubt "Libertad" will sound like a hip-hop, radio friendly bling album either, so take a chill pill.

[Falcon]

But you are flat out fucking stupid here.

Chill out.

Do you know what I do for a living dipshit?

See above.

On topic..

I'm not too thrilled with the Pharrell talk,? nothing that'll keep me from giving the record a fair listen though.

[RichardNixon]

So what if they are working with Pharrell? Good for them. If you are are that closed minded, put on your "Dr. Feelgood" album and don't buy the new VR, you mullet-heads!

[Smoking Guns]

Great bands don't need to get gimmick producers to make something special or create a sound.  Pharrell to me sounds like a gimmick producer who is hot at the moment.  God forbid they use someone proven like Mike Clink.  I guess my point is, since when does Duff and Matt have to get a hip hop guy to develop a groove?  Maybe Adler is who they should get on drums.  He didn't seem to have a problem on Appetite with the Groove.  The name of this album should be "How VR got their Groove Back."

Use Mike Clint, you mean like Motley Crue did with "New Tattoo"? Which is probably what some people here want to hear.

Richard, I don't know a Mike Clint, just Mike Clink.  Duff and Matt tend to build shit up more then what it actually is.  Question is, will VR still be a hard rock band, or is this going to be their "Get a Grip,' album.

[speed_stone]

VR is a joke. good day.

[Falcon]

VR is a joke. good day.

Not much sense in posting in this section then...

[Falcon]

No offense to your good self or Mike Clink for that matter but he hasn't produced anything too interesting since AFD. 

I loved his work in '05 with The Glitterati but that's about it..

[Here Today...]

VR will still be a hard rock band, come on they are not going to turn to a hip hop group! lol its funny to even think about it.  he's just a producer, that doesnt mean hes going to be rapping on every song or something.  just wait till the album comes out and we will see how it is, then make all ur opinions.

ever heard of kiss my ass? I doubt people are going to read a post twice to see if i edited it. Didn't think of that did you, you wanna be moderator hack.

And I could care less about the VR rep. Stop assuming and pretending like you are the smart one here. You aren't making things better.
