Velvet Revolver kicks ass!! I recommend buying there album to anyone who hasnt heard it!! Slash, Duff, Matt, and Scott ( and the other guitar player whos name i dont know) totally kick ass. The only thing i have to say is ... they arent GNR. No matter how good Velvet Revolver gets they will never be able to touch GNR. Axl Rose maybe should change his name to Asshole Rose... but he is still Axl Rose. I also think Velvet Revolver should play more GNR songs!!! For christ sake they are only missing Axl and Izzy!!! What about the classics like Sweet child of mine, Paradise City, & Welcome to the Jungle I would much rather see a GNR reunion than a Velvet Revolver uprise.
