[Judge Dredd]

From blabbermouth:-

VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum (ex-GUNS N' ROSES) has posted the following message on his official blog:

"Have been hard at work on the new VELVET REVOLVER stuff. We have been working five days a week for the last month. And have about 10 songs worked up. Going to work in my studio for another couple of weeks. Then start rehearsing for our mini-tour of the West Coast. Then back in the studio to complete the album."

VELVET REVOLVER recently recorded a new song for the upcoming animated feature, "Monster House". The band's 2004 debut, "Contraband", was certified double-platinum for sales in excess of two million copies in the United States.

Oh Matt, you work so hard...

I, and many many other people work 5 days a week for most of the year, one month ain't all that much really...

[justincrowe]

They are ROCKSTARS. Don't expect them working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Of course not, but Matt, please don't tell me you've been working hard when you've only been at it a month...

The impression I got and what I think Matt ment was, 10 tracks are ready, but when they go back to complete the album there will be more track added, probably about 5 tracks I think.

I feel the same. Maybe they'll record even the third album and release it during the tour! 



I guess I went too far.

so its going to be a 10 track album? hmm bit small really. sounds rushed to me

he said  about10 were done, he didn't say a 10 song album.. Well that's not the impression I got..

[oldgunsfan]

people around here don't read way too much into things do they

[tomass74]

Now that is great news.... Maybe we actually will see an album by fall....

[monkeychow]

Thats fantastic news....I'm so pumped up for some new VR stuff...I really hope slash lets loose on this album too.... unleash the beast again i say!!

[RichardNixon]

So I take it they are past "pre-production?"

[slashisvr]

this is good news, maybe as far as the amount of songs they have, he is talking new songs maybe.....remember aparantly they had like 50songs to pick from for contraband, maybe theyll use some rejected ones from that

I read somewhere yesterday that Slash was in the studio for an entire day recording one solo.. That is encouraging..

[Thorazine Shuffle]

I'm getting excited about this album much more than Contraband.  It's obvious that VR want to put out the best product possible, especially since they will probably be compared to Axls CD.

At least for the ten songs Matt mentioned, an educated guess would say there's still some pre-production left on any other tunes they may see fit to move forward with.
