.. If Axl were in that lineup, instead of Scott, then I can see 2 or maybe 3 of those songs ever seeing the light of day.?

Let 's don''t start this line of discussion please, thanks.

Sorry.  It wasn't included to start a discussion.  Rather, just to further illustrate my point.

Purple is a great album. Just because it ain't your cup of tea, doesn't make it boring.

Yeah! Purple OWNS!! i don't know what ur talking about mrlee!!! that's easily one of my fave albums.

i don't think u can judge an album my how long it took to make it. Also, he does have a point about early albums in bands' catalogues that are usually regarded as their best. that is USUALLY the case... but still i don't think u can make generalizations like that. let the music speak for itself.

"Though Rick Rubin is currently tied up with U2 in London, he's slated to work with both METALLICA and VELVET REVOLVER next, VR drummer Matt Sorum informed RollingStone.com Monday night (Sept. 18) during the Hard Rock Caf??s 35th birthday extravaganza. "I think we're going to beat METALLICA to the studio 'cause we write songs faster than they do," he boasted.

The working title for the new VELVET REVOLVER disc remains "Libertad", although Sorum previously dismissed singer Scott Weiland's statements that it will be a concept record.

"You know, Scott said something about a concept album," Sorum told ABC Radio's ePrep. "But you know, the concept is let's get it done, you know what I mean? (laughs)"

VELVET REVOLVER's 2004 debut, "Contraband", was certified double-platinum for sales in excess of two million copies in the United States. "
