UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 Lasted longer than I expected.. now Axl, beg Slash and Duff to come back The super band Velvet Revolver, that has also visited in Finland has broken up. The band gave a successful concert in Helsinki Ice Hall, last August, but the planned gig in July, at the Ruisrock Festival went up in smoke. Ruisrock is at the time looking for a new headliner to replace VR. Last fall Slash was really optimistic about the future, and everything looked good for the band. It is said that the state of Scott Weiland is the reason for the burial of Velvet Revolver. The official statement from the band is expected shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mister foozel 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 http://www.belowempty.com/vr/index.php?p=news#n050606_1 VR is NOT breaking up! Contrary to some tough internet rumours and speculation by Finnish magazine 'Iltalehti', the band is NOT breaking up! Even though the band have cancelled some European shows after the Live8 benefit (more info & official statements will probably follow soon), they are only taking a break from the exhausting tour that they've been on for over a year, so they can rock the U.S. even better after a well-deserved break.

Wait, that's not a difference, it's a point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest *KNK* Report post Posted June 9, 2005 What does their past history with great bands have to with the fact they currently put out bland and mediocre material today that you ask any casual radio listener, they wouldn't tell those two bands and other apart from each other.

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2005 The most amusing thing is that everyone can laugh at Billy Idol, but his new stuff is almost indistinguishable from this VR shite. No difference, except maybe he's a better showman than Weiland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
