VR To Release 'Melody And The Tyranny' EP

[Smoking Guns]

At least June 1st is almost here!

[Genesis]

I'll tell you why the rest of the GN'R fans don't post here....

Um, because they don't really care?

You know what, I believe that the reason you as well as certain other 'die hard' GN'R fans constantly post in this section to put VR down is because you are actually jealous about the reviews, attention and the fact that they are releasing an album.

As far as I'm concerned, if you really didn't care about what VR were doing, you would have skimmed right over this section. If you really were only interested in keeping up with what they were doing, you would have just read through topics and not post shit.

Yeah were all jealous of vr's success blah blah blah. Get over yourself man, I couldn't give a flying fuck if vr sold a billion records. I'm not a fan of them so I really don't care. I just find it funny how so many people here are brainwashed into liking them just because slash and duff are in the band. Open your eyes, even slash admitted in an interview a few years ago that the only reason formed the band was because they needed money.

Any source/quotes from that interview?

[chineseblues]

I cant remember what Interview it was, it might have been the VH1 documentary thing I can't really remember and I have no idea where to find the interview. It was definitely a video interview, I think in it he was riding in a limo? If that helps figure out which one it was...

What a load of rubbish I'm after reading through...how can people say VR are shit?... of course they're not, they don't have as great a frontman as Axl Rose but they're a very credible band. I am a Velvet Revolver fan because I grew up listening to that type of music and GnR where my favourite band, now the guys, Slash & Duff are still playing rock music only with a different singer. Its frustrating to hear people slag off their ex-heroes...tut! tut! tut!

... and since your post doesn't have a word worth reading as usual, thank you for proving my post.

Only a couple of days until I have this EP in my hands!

JB Hi-Fi says that it's out here on the 1st June, and being that Australia is ahead in timezone compared to most of the world, I'll be sure to post the very first review (in the world!) for you all!

[AdZ]

Queen doesnt exist anymore. Now it's called Queen + Paul Rodgers

God.. Supergroups are cool.

So?  If Axl needed money and was forced to reunite with the old band, I'd still support him.

Professional artists make art for a living.  That's what they do.  Slash and Duff forming a band is no different than my favorite film maker being hired to make a movie.  I can't believe you're trying to use that as a critism.  I mean, say you dislike the music.  But hating the band because they get paid?  Wow... 

I wasn't nuts about VR's first album.  I actually think it sucks.  But I like those guys as artists because they made some of my favorite rock music of all time.  It's sad that they're not able to back up the greatest front man in the world any more.  But I don't feel the need to hate them for it.  They're still the same guys who wrote and recorded a lot of great music I enjoy.  I'm glad they're still making music. 

Same with CD.  I don't really like the leaks all that much.  But I'm a fan of Axl's, and I'll always be excited to hear his new music.

Can you all please stick to the fucking topic.

oh, it can't be too bad then. Last i head it wasnt much cheaper than buying a full album. Obviously not the case... my 'rip-off' comment no longer stands.

EDIT:
Just checked... ?3.99 off amazon.co.uk. Thats pretty cool?

[Steve McKagan]

It's cheap in Sweden too!

June 1st is a thrusday. Are you sure its not June 6th?

[metallex78]

June 1st is this Friday actually, but lately stuff seems to get gets released here on Saturdays, so maybe JB Hifi are jumping the gun a bit when they say they'll have it on the 1st. Either way, I'll be heading down there to check it out.

[DeadHorse]

I checked amazon.ca for Canada and it said it will be released on the 7th, and it's posted on HMV's site as June 4th. It's only less than a  week and with the hockey play-offs next week will be here in no time.

Plus then it's only little over 3 weeks and I'll have their new cd.
