Velvet Revolver Biography |
|
|
|
It was the fastest sell-out in the venue's history, and the show that followed exceeded the hype. Velvet Revolver fans who came expecting some sort of Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots retrospective instead got a volatile mixture of new rock straight from the angry souls of musicians restrained far too long by their respective pasts.
It's been nearly a decade since Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum were inside the belly of the GNR beast, giving them more than enough time to grow musically out of their past. Formerly known simply as The Project, what has morphed into Velvet Revolver is just what the name suggests -- smooth and pleasant one moment, but violent and dangerous the next. Opener "Sucker Train Blues" built from a sparse and simple guitar into a furious rocker. By the time Slash stepped up on the monitor for a crunching solo reminiscent of nothing from his Guns days, the audience was floored. "Do It For the Kids", another surefire shred piece blasted off with beautiful harmonies and peppered with singer Scott Weiland growling the refrain "Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a f---!"
Weiland is the wildcard in Velvet Revolver, in the midst of another bout of his years old drama, in addition to a marriage down the drain -- both of which are touchy subjects but conduits for amazingly unpredictable moods, from the fury of "Illegal I" to the wrenching "Fall to Pieces". Fresh off the STP train, whose acrimonious dissolution left even more fuel to be burned, Weiland has never looked, sounded or performed better. Using his customary megaphone like the common man uses a screwdriver, and clad in tight and low cut shiny silver pants that Axl couldn't fit into on his best day, he slithered his spastic serpentine dance non-stop.
