Review: Velvet Revolver – Contraband
Hailed by the critics, sold by the hundred thousands. The line-up is indeed impressive, Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagen, Matt Sorum. A singer from the Stone Temple Pilots, and the rest are Guns’N’Roses alumni. Can’t go wrong there you might think.
Well, mostly the senseless lyrics combined with heavy guitars don’t lend too well to subtlety. The best name I can give it would be in the direction of slightly organised noise. Definitely not enjoyable.3+.
