Velvet Revolver--album #3

[hellfirecan]

Wow, what a short attention span. 

I personally tend to listen to the albums for a while.



/jarmo

wow...will be interesting to see you views on that if and when Axl releases CD and, like has been reported here, he has enough material for three albums, he releases another right away if you will buy it or not, or wait until you have had your fill of CD

[pasnow]

So the latest album has only been out for about three months and people are already looking forward to the next one.

I guess Libertad was that good that you can't wait to hear more of the same?

Or not?

So Axl's been claiming to be working on a new album for over a decade and you still believe it's coming out??  I guess those leaks are soo great you'll keep waiting another 10 years. Weren't you counting down the Tuesdays left in 2006 also?! Wow, what a short attention span YOU must have!!

[jarmo]

Axl, Axl, Axl...

 


Nowhere did I say I don't buy new albums while I still listen to the previous one.

If one of my favorite artists releases a new album every week, I'd buy them on the day of the release.

But it doesn't mean that on Tuesday I'm already looking forward to next Monday after only listening to the new album maybe a couple of times.


I guess with VR I might, but they're not one of the bands I'd call favorites.

The only complaint I have is the predictable arrangements of intro, verse, prechorus, chrous, verse, prechorus, chorus, bridge, solo, chorus. Almost every song on libertad follows that arrangement, and it so easy to identify each part, you know automatically whats coming next.

Well yeah... actually if you take a close look at the songs you?ll see that, in almost all of them, the solo starts in the last min of the song (like 1.50min/1.00min). Kinda predicting and boring yes... They should diverse a bit more on the songs, no doubt about that. They can do that as we saw on Messages. But hey! Till now I?m quite happy with the band and its two albums. The only thing I?m sad about is the fact that I haven?t seen them live yet.

But they were, weren?t they?

Nope. Velvet Revolver has never ever been one of my favorite artists. Maybe you just assumed they were because I went to see them.

Did you know the day before I saw VR in London in 2004 I saw Mark Lanegan and that show made a bigger impression on me than any of the VR shows I saw?

Some people around me went on and on about how great it was, sure it was a great show at the time, but Lanegan was special.



VR is not Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Mark Lanegan or even Depeche Mode.

There's a lot of other artists who's music I like too. But I'm not gonna bother listing them since it's not really the topic.....




/jarmo

[Ines_rocks!]

Yeah... fair enough.    But I gotta press this button again- you have seen VR 5 times right? If someone tells me they went to see some band 5 times I must assume they like it, that they ain?t indiferent to them. That would be quite weird if it was the contrary. I mean... 5 times is quite a lot. So I gotta ask you this: what made you see them 5 times?

[jarmo]

what made you see them 5 times?

It was an excuse to go to London twice within six months.

I like London, I like traveling, I like going to concerts, I enjoy meeting friends and some of them were going to these shows....

I didn't even go because it was VR basically. It was just because of the GN'R connection. Couldn't really care less about seeing Matt, but I hadn't seen Duff or Slash since they left GN'R.

Slash canceled a show I had tickets for in 2000. Two days before the show they moved it elsewhere so I didn't get to see them. You think I'm a huge Snakepit fan too? 



Anything else you wanna know?

/jarmo

So you never ever liked VR?

(last question I promise  )

[jarmo]

I thought a few songs on Contraband were good when it came out, but overall I thought the album lacked focus.

I can't stand their front man.

So it's kinda hard to "like" them when I think the singer is overrated and his whole act is a fucking pose.

the day after a new record comes out im already looking forward to the next one

Wow, what a short attention span.

/jarmo

i like listening to as much music by bands i like as i can

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

If there is a third album, it will be more like Contraband.

Hopefully they won't bow to pressures from the record label when making this album.

I'm not sure what you mean by that? Because anyone in the music industry will tell you that the label would have wanted a record like Contraband as the second album, seeing as how Contraband sold so well.? Why do you think SBQM was the first single?? The record label beleives VR's was because Contraband was a mass-appealing album and probably demanded or preferred the same record again.? But obviously no musician with any respect for himself wants to repeat themselves on the next album, but be more creative and try different things.

I mean, that maybe they won't listen to RCA and put out a WEAK first single like they did with SBQM.

Maybe Slash can try and work a bit harder instead of having Clive fucking Davis come in and give him some direction with his solo's.

They might not go in such a "diverse" direction and just put out a straight ahead rock album like CB.  Maybe they can achieve gold that way....

dont you mean platinum?

but yeah, clive fuckin davis. SBQM didnt have a solo on it until Clive wanted one. He probably wanted one on every song, made tht band change arrangements here and their. Fuck him if he did.

that was get out the door actually

the more i come to this forum the more i come to the conclusion this is a place for axl n' roses fans, not gnr or rock fans

My opinion is that you're an idiot since Axl is in GN'R.

GN'R plays rock n' roll.

So, if you like the music Axl makes, you like the music GN'R makes and it's called rock music....

Yeah, but I only do it on special occasions such as this.

Obviously, for this guy being a GN'R and rock fan is different from being an Axl fan.

I'm not saying he's right, but he does have a point. Some people here think GNR is Axl, which it isn't. It's a band. But their loyalty is to one person and one person only. And there are a few of those flamers here, especially some of the people that are in the VR section just to bash VR cause they think that's what Axl wants. I think his post was dedicated to those poor misguided souls.

Axl, Axl, Axl....

His point is that you can be a GN'R fan and hate Axl.

Then you don't like GN'R. You like the GN'R that once existed and only exists in your mind these days.
