Velvet Revolver is everything the band's name suggests and much more. This is modern rock with a sense of danger and beauty that's been missing for far too long. Their suitably explosive yet gorgeous debut effort 'Contraband' marks the spot for a new beginning from a band of rock & roll brothers united by some legendary pasts and a suddenly brighter future.
"We're all looking for a rebirth here," explains the group's lead singer Scott Weiland.
We're looking to get back that same feeling we had when we all first started making music - the sense of doing it for the pure joy of making music.
Reloading The Rock With Velvet Revolver We hit the Velvet Revolver press conference and got the dirt on the band that brings together three past members of Guns 'N' Roses - Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, together with former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland and ex-Wasted Youth axeman Dave Kushner.
