Will Velvet Revolver Survive Chinese Democracy?

[Velvet Forever]

In slash I trust , Scott is a good singer , matt rules , dave is creative , Duff....is Duff
So sure they will survive , The new album would be awesome , i'm sure of it!

[moreblack]

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again.
VR does not come or go by someone else's work, whether CD comes out or not, whether it is a hit or not. It won't have ANY bearing on what VR does or how they do it.
When VR decides it's time to rock, then and only then, we will rock.

I don't see any problems with VR surving CD......GnR fans have been threatened with this album for years and it hasn't seen the light of day yet   wow....4 leaked tracks.....personally i liked 90% of the songs on Contraband better than the leaked tracks

And I think Libertad will be alot better than Contraband as the band will have been playing  together for a few years rather than a few weeks when they went to record CB once Scott signed on

And I think VR will have 10x's the chemistry the new GnR will have even if Axl tours non-stop for the next 2 years.....I mean, the Hammerstein shows were great, but prior to the rehersals, it must have been like, hew , so and so, great to see you, what's it been, since the MSG show back in2002

i dont think the albums even gonna be released, every year a month is given, and it never comes.

i doubt it would effect VR, they have there own dedicated fans, nu-gnr is a different type of music to VR. I think VR have taken too long to do a new album which has made them dissappear a bit but aslong as they are marketted right they will get back into the limelight. GNR i dont think will hit new mainstream audiences due to every mag making a mockery of axl and co.

really man most bands don't release material too often, they just happened to be in your face a lot when they were around for the 15 months.. I think it was pretty normal toured like may 04 released cb june then toured until like new years now soon doing shows again then releasing material...

New gnr has tons of weapons because they have one of the most famous rock catalogs going, so it's not like they are attracting people because of "their" music.. The name, plus afd nr

in  a way dont you think modern guns are cheating by riding off the name?

[Jizzo]

chinese democracy will be lucky to sell more than the 250000 copies that contraband sold the first week

[ShotgunBlues1978]

chinese democracy will be lucky to sell more than the 250000 copies that contraband sold the first week

Chinese Democracy will sell a minimum of 500,000 copies in the first week

[kobys]

Chinese Democracy may outsell VR's albums but who cares? VR will go on to do their thing anyway!

[JDA]

why wouldn't they? they are a great band.

say that again, what's the modern guys.. if you mean slash or duff being ex gnr members or scott ex stp I think that's cool, any resume should include your past accomplishments.. Also it helps people know what makes you famous..

I think he was refering to Axl's band..

Ok I thought I had said it already that's why I ws unsure... of course you think anyone would give a hoot about them if it wasn't called gnr and they had those songs already to play..

Will axl survive this tour should be the new title, actually I hope he does..

[Locomotive98]

Guns wont even survive Chinese Democracy. VR have nothing to worry about. Especially if Axl continues attacking and biting people. They are best rid of him I reckon.

[Butch Français]

yeah they will survive. no idea who will sell the most records though.
but VR will always have more "cred" in the media, cos they are a new band with a new name.
Axl on the other hand is gonna face a shitstorm of negative press regarding his "coverband" no matter how good his album is!

[PhillyRiot]

Just remember one thing:  It is not fair to compare an album that took a year to make to an album that took over a decade to make.  I confident VR will make a bad ass album, and I am looking forward to it!!!!

[Bumblefeet]

some of you guys are livin in the past!! ok i can admit that it was the origional line up that got me into gnr int he first place but they came to axl not the other way around!! axl has a mind for music and he knows what elements are need and richard,robin,ron,brain,curtas and dizzy can deliver all of this!! contraband is not an album!!!! it is a collection of good songs!! the topics which they discuss in their lyrics are echoing the work of izzy and axl!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Axls band will have no bearing on VRs sales whatsoever.

The interesting thing, (at least in the US) will be how the press as a whole will spin CD coming out vs Libertad. 

IMO, I think that the press and the mass public will lean towards VR.

Axl using the GNR name will work against him and his band.

[PhillyRiot]

I bet you Libertad will be out way before Chinese Democracy anyway.

[Dayle1066]

Chinese Democracy will sell a serious amount of copies in the first week. Purely and simply because its been so long in the making EVERYONE wants to hear it. Even if you hate Axl and the new band you cant tell me you aren't curious as to what its going to sound like.

All the same VR are a real deal r'n'r band and wont be affected by CD. I want both bands to just do what they do, VR to rock hard and well, axl to do whatever he's doing lol
