Do you support VR?

[American Hellhound]

Sure I support VR.

I don't think Contraband was anything groundbreaking, but those Slash solos make the experience worth it in itself.

If you buy the album and are expecting that same magic that was present  w/ AFD and UYI's you will probably feel a little disappointed.

I was a big STP fan back in the day, but after hearing Scott's childish rant last year about Axl being a "fat botox freak " that was  pretty much enough to turn me off of the guy.

If they make their way down to Florida, I'll definitely catch them live, but mostly because of my admiration for Slash and Duff.   

[MarioGunner]

I am supporting and wishing Duff, Slash, and Matt the best.  I like them...besides axl and izzy, they are why I fell in love w/gnr, so obviously I am going to wish them the best and hoope VR does well.

However, I HATE SCOTT WITH A PASSION!!!!! Can not stand that fag of a singer. 

So i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on my support for VR.  Anyone else feel the same?

i know what you meen man. I didn't much care for STP and i dont like scott either. I really wish they would have got with Baz instead of scott i think it would have made the band better and gotten them more atenion ya know?

but yeah man don't feel alone i know what your saying and i totally agree

This is true, not sure Scott was the best decission but it was their decission, so, I can say that so far, they're doing fine and I really hope Libertad becomes a great album.

I agree with you, I mean I love Slash n Duff, I wish them the best, but I hate that singer too, it doesn't fix, I read that he was Matt's (I've never liked this one) decission.

[SlashRock]

I love them.  They're one of the best bands around at present and put on a great live show, so yes I support them.

[slashBOG]

all the way to the grave

I feel kind of neutral about Velvet Revolver as a whole...they're not bad, but they're not good either. I saw them live on the Fields Of Rock 2 years ago and I remember feeling annoyed with Scott Weiland's and I'm not even sure why. I think that I'd expected a little more of Velvet Revolver with such a band line-up. They should've just picked a different singer (Billy Morrison would've been really cool) and not played it that safe.

[chinese democrazy]

My two favorite bands growing up were Gn'R and STP. It was like a fantasy line up that was strangely becoming a reality for me. I support them, and they make great music, however different it may be from both of the previous bands.

[slashvr86]

100% support velvet revolver, its funny how every1 is so negative about contraband. all the older musos in the scene im in love it. it was great coz i had thrashed appetite and the UYI albums and was prety bored with GNR. then i heard about STP and got all their albums and was quite impressed. so bring on libertad. it be better then anything out there at the moment

[snakepipero]

YEAHH I SUPPORT VELVET REVOLVER. The main reason is because slash and duff, my fauvorite musicians ever, but there are some other reasons because i love so much these guys and their music: sadly there aren't many rock bands right now; I didn't know scott before VR and now i really like him (his solo stuff, stp stuff and vr stuff) i think he's an amazin' singer, frontman and composer; i like them because they have been able to get a different and fresher sound from their previous bands ...

i can't understand why so many people hate this band or scott, it's only rock and roll, come on guys enjoy the music and stop your stupid paranoids, if you don't like their music go to another band but let the rest of us enjoy the rock and roll!!! 

[Ines_rocks!]

I support VR as Slash, Duff and yeah... Matt too are there... that?s it... I?m not a fan of VR... I?m fan of those guys so I kinda support this project... I bought Contraband which I liked... I was going to a VR show but it was cancelled lol ( )...
I wish them all the best but that?s it. It?s cool to see they?re having fun with this project, that they can write new music and tour which is their life anyway... Scott used to annoy me at the beginning but now I?m kinda used to him... yet I?m one of those that think that if they had another singer.... well.. that?s another story 

[noGnoG]

Hate is to big a word for me about Scott. I simply don't care to much about his singing, it's to much of the same for me. And his stage presence makes me feel uncomfartable, it's not really tough rock & roll. So yes, I also like VR for Slash and Duff. In the end I support VR, already ordered Libertad! What I've heard so far sounds decent, but I wait for the album to really judge it.

[Krispy Kreme]

yep support them 110%, I wasn't that blown away by CB to be honest but when I saw them live they really impressed me. They are one of the best live acts around and I can't wait to hear libertad?

I agree with comment 100% and I could not have  said  it  better.

BTW, they are not GNR, but then, who is?

Take it  for what  is  it--great rock n roll really loud, and Slash  is  the best.

That takes nothing way from Axl, who is also great. Support for  the two bands  is not mutually exclusive.

I couldn't agree more. 

[The Catcher]

no, they suck.

Hey, you can't disagree  with me! You owe me  $300 for advice about dreams and your girlfriend!  :rofl:The least  you can do is not step on me after  my kind advice!!
