Welcome to Gaia! ::

I kinda doubt many of you know this band, but essentially this band is kind of a rip off Guns n' Roses (since most of the original members are in it). Velvet Revolver formed years after Slash, Izzy, Matt, and Duff left Guns n' Roses. Slash for a while did some solo stuff (a.k.a. Slash's Snakepit) until he teamed up with Scott Vieland from Stone Temple Pilots. But the band wasn't complete until Dave Kushner accept the invitation (whereas Izzy had declined). Dave had previously played with Dave Navarro and in the band Wasted Youth. In 2003 the band recorded their first single Set Me Free for the The Hulk Soundtrack. Then in 2004 the band released it's debut album Contraband, which although had great expectations from the fans failed to meet them.

Just recently the band has begun recording what will become their sophomore album, Libertad expected to be realsed May 2007. The current band is as follows:

Scott Wieland - Lead Vocals (Stone Temple Pilots)
Slash - Lead guitar (Guns n' Roses, Slash's Snakepit)
Dave Kushner - Guitars (Wasted Youth)
Duff McKagan - Bass, backing vocals (Guns 'n Roses)
Matt Sorum - Drums (Guns n' Roses)

Ditto, but I do like Sucker Train Blues and Dirty Little Thing.

Didn't like Guitar Hero much cause they messed up some of the vocals like Lamb of God on Laid to Rest.

But that song TROGDOR is funny as hell. rofl rofl

UPDATE:

Velvet Revolver's Sophomore album is out.

Go pick up LIBERTAD.

From what I've heard, the album blows Contraband out of the water.

OMG ...really??
if it's true i have to buy it surprised

They did that one song Slither right? I love that song, haven't heard it in a long time though. I may buy some more from them someday.
