Although I loved the way they played the GN'R songs, this move tells that they've moved on. Have enough material to do a show and they are not interested in playing 20 year old songs.
Yeah, but they might play older songs such as "Wish You Were Here".
He only mentioned GN'R and STP, not Pink Floyd.?

They are not a cover band that's living off its long time gone past.
BTW I'd happier if they'd drop the PF cover, too.

I like this. Velver Revolver is Velvet Revolver, they aren't "Guns N' Roes B.Side". This can take the title of "ex-gunners" off.
Besides, we don't have to hear Scott singing GNR songs anymore
IMO VR had their own identity on their first tour....sure loadsa people went to see most of the "old line up" whi9ch i have to admit i did...and they were just amazing they were themselfs not trying to be GNR again....also i think scott did a great job on the GNR songs...ill even go far as to say he sang them better than axl did in the 01-02 tour just my opinion....dont hurt me lol

This news marks a smart move for VR, but only if their new material holds up.
VR have the talent, I sure hope they Boom and don't Bust.
The VR site is looking cool at the moment:

Velvet Revolver begins a short North American tour May 3 in Los Angeles, and European festival dates are on tap through early July. McKagan says fans can expect songs from its members' old bands (Guns N' Roses, Stone Temple Pilots) to crop up occasionally, but less frequently than in Velvet Revolver's early days, when it barely had enough originals to play a headlining set.
"I don't know whether we'll do it the whole tour or once in awhile," he says. "But I know people like to hear them and sometimes we really like to play them. It's songs we wrote, so why not?"

Thanks Jarmo. Good to hear Duff saying VR will continue to rotate GN'R songs in and out of setlist every now and than during future performances.

I could do without VR's version of Brownstone, but ISE was great and the crowd went wild. I hope they keep that tune and do it at least once in a while.

I guess this is a good thing, because it separates VR more from Guns, which would be better for a GN'R reunion down the track. We'll just see if if the new VR songs from Libertad stand well in their place.

A more balanced answer, than just no GNR or STP.
Give the fans what they want.

From Velvetrevolver.com
A fan review of the April 27th show...
Show was freaking awesome!! The Q&A could have used better questions, but it gave the fans a chance to interact with the band in a way that is probably impossible in a regular concert setting! The guys were answering everyone?s questions, even from people just shouting them out.
A guy to my left asked Scott if it was true that they were gonna stop playing STP and GN?R songs?Scott said no! That it?s a rumor!
The band was just really awesome, very friendly to all the fans, one lucky girl with a ?Matt I want some drumsticks? sign got what she came for, people in the first couple of rows got some hand shakes at the end..it was just great!!!! The new songs are really hard rocking! I loved ?Last Fight!? The band just seems truly connected now! All in all, the band was great to the fans, and the experience was definitely a once in a lifetime deal! Thanks for making it happen!
