I find it quite wierd that the original poster could be a fan of VR and yet see the band 3 times and hate them.
I mean VR is a different style to GNR, so I can kinda see why some people who like GNR dont like VR.
And I can get that maybe one show was bad cos slash or scott or something might have been having an off night...but 3 times....i would have thought if you hate them live 3 times its cos you hate the songs....so why do you like the record? Just doesn't make sence to me, but each to their own.
My experience is kinda the opposite. I like the VR records...but I find that live the songs are a shit load more interesting, especially Slash's parts...he really rips into them live. And i'm talking about being there in person with his marshall stack ripping your balls off...not downloading a stream in 50kb that misses most of the sound
I think VR are one of the most impressive live bands around. But each to his own.
