MARCH 29, 2008 ROCK N' ROLL AS IT SHOULD BE - GERMANY

It all started, when Slash, Duff McKagen and Matt Sorum (all former members of Guns ‘n’ Roses) performed at a charity concert in remembrance of Randy Castillio, who was the drummer of Ozzy Osbourne, which took place in October 2002. After the concert they met again several times and finally decided to found a new band. Dave Kushner joined the line-up as guitarist in October and last but not least Scott Weiland became the official lead singer in June 2003 and VELVET REVOLVER was born. The first VELVET REVOLVER release was the single ‘Set me Free’ which was the title song for the Hulk motion picture in 2003. The debut followed in June 2004 entitled ‘Contraband’. The current album ‘Libertad’ followed in July 2007. VELVET REVOLVER is: Scott Weiland (vocals), Slash (lead guitar), Dave Kushner (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) and Matt Sorum (drums).

What else could you expect from such a band as honest and pure rock music. But one thing stewed the excitement of the people. The people had to wait about 45 minutes before the band came on stage and the more time passed the angrier everyone got. Actually there was enough time to go and eat something outside. Cups of water were thrown on stage and I was wondering, when the point was reached, where people would leave the venue but that didn’t happen but for the last concert of a band who would officially quit after that gig, they didn’t cover themselves with glory.

Enough bashing. The band finally appeared and everything seemed to be forgotten and VELVET REVOLVER has been welcomed loudly. The eye catcher of the show was surely Slash who was almost gliding over the stage from left to right and last but not least because of his big hat and glasses. During the show, Duff had a little accident. I just saw him falling and then he disappeared for a while just to emerge soon after again. Even though the band started very late; they played the full set (except the first song of the planned encores) and pleased all the people, who had to wait so long.

Eagle Rock released “Let It Roll – Live In Germany”, a new concert DVD from VELVET REVOLVER. The disc was filmed at the Palladium in Cologne, Germany in March 2008 for the legendary German TV series “Rockpalast”. The concert was near the end of the tour for their second album “Libertad” and came just a few days before the band went on hiatus following the departure of singer Scott Weiland. The set draws heavily on the “Libertad” album but also features tracks from their debut album “Contraband” and covers of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and GUNS N’ ROSES tracks.

VELVET REVOLVER reunited with Weiland for a one-off performance at the January 12 “Love You Madly: A Concert For John O’Brien” at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. The band played a four-song set — including a cover version of the PINK FLOYD classic “Wish You Were Here” — at the event, which paid tribute to award-winning ASCAP composer John O’Brien, who was found dead in his Chicago hotel room last August.
