(2002 – present)

Velvet Revolver is a hard rock supergroup who released their debut album “Contraband” in 2004. Before becoming an official act in 2002, they recorded the track “

Set Me Free” for the Hulk Soundtrack. All the current member participated in this song.

The band is made up of ex-Guns N’ Roses members Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), and Matt Sorum (drums), as well as Dave Kushner (guitar) of the hardcore punk band Wasted Youth . Velvet Revolver are currently without a singer, after Scott Weiland left the band(for Stone Temple Pilots re-union). He has recently reformed with his previous band, Stone Temple Pilots. It is rumored that they may replace Scott with Chris Cornell the epic singer formerly of Soundgarden and Audioslave.

On December 4th of 2006, Velvet Revolver started recording their second album, entitled “Libertad” which is Spanish for freedom. The album was released on July 3, 2007, with a bonus DVD entitled “Tierra Roja, Sangre Roja” (Red Land, Red Blood) which documents their trip to Argentina to play at the Quilmes Rock ‘07 Festival.

Velvet Revolver recorded a cover of “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head” by Electric Light Orchestra (released on “Libertad”)

On their concerts they usually play both Stone Temple Pilots’ and Guns N’ Roses’ songs such as

Sex Type Thing,

Vasoline,

Mr. Brownstone,

Psycho Killer or

It’s So Easy; besides playing their original repertoire. They’ve also added the acoustic track,

Patience, to their setlist for their Libertad tour.

Contraband was fucking amazing, but even after first listening to it I would have guaranteed they would go down hill with their next release... and what do ya know? Liberated ended up being garbage... that's what happens when you have Scott Weiland in your band... he's a cancer. He's talented, and I love a lot of his work with early STP and on Contraband... but none the less he is a cancer.

rthemechanic, I'm pretty sure Slash and Duff quit. As did most of the rest of the band. Axl wasn't the leader of the band. He couldn't fire people because it wasn't HIS band, it was their band.

2 points sentinel106, the same thing was said when Cornell was going to join up with the rest of RATM. Also, Duff and Slash weren't trying to get away from Axl, they were fired. Sebastian Bach is too busy starring in Gilmore Girls (what the fuck is that about? btw).

Could be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that the lead singer from Buckcherry sang for VR for a short time. Is that right? If he hasn't I think his voice would be perfect for VR.
