What do you people think about the new Velvet Revolver single?
If I had to choose between Audioslave and Velvet Revolver, I would just give the guy asking me that question the bird and then listen to Appetite for Destruction.
Fall to pieces is probably my least favourite track, maybe it was that FUCKING STUPID video that ruined it for me. Illegal i Song would an awesome single! That song is slamming.
That said, I think VR should kick out Scot and get Axl Rose to sing, then kick out the guitar player who is not Slash and gett Izzy Stradlin' (but I'll settle for Gilby Clarke), and then play GnR songs exclusively.
He wrote that after getting busted for drugs right after he got into the band. I saw there Velvet Revolver thing on VH1 about them looking for a singer. They went through like 2000 tapes and nothing fit. In comes Scott Weiland and that's that. Two weeks before he got busted he asked the band for help. Since he had the courage to ask before he got caught with it, they stood by him. That is what the video is about. Him trying to kick the habit and how they helped him. You see them pick him up in the video. None of the usual rehab things helped him so Duff introduced him to what helped him get sober and stay that way. Martial Arts and he's been clean for just over a year now.
I like the song and I like the album. I don't care for every song on it but overall a good first record. Definately the most pure rock album and guitar sound of the last decade. Them and Silvertide are the only new bands that get rotation in my presence. Nick Perri is scary good. He's damn sure not afraid to solo.
