#4021 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » VR Without Scott » 911 weeks ago
They were called the Project to start with, and I believe it was Scott who came up with Velvet Revolver. I remember him saying something about calling themselves Black Velvet Revolver, but the took off Black so it wasn't a 3-word name similar to STP.
I could care less what they're called, as long as Slash, Duff and Matt stick it out and keep making music together.

I wonder if Libertad's irrellevancy on the music world and essentially being a flop contributed to Scott wanting to leave to walk right in to a newly hyped band's reunion & probable album release.
Either way, it may be the best thing for all involved. As long as VR get a better fit for singer. Hopefully one who knows a bit about guitar & writing tracks. Dave Kushner may be a nice guy & everything, but I don't think he adds anything to this band. Gilby Clarke would probably be a better fit. I'm not trying to say he'd be a savior or anything, just that Libertad's guitar tracks were kinda weak & shallow.
Good point on the Libertad thing and probably true.
I don't care about Dave one way or the other but that's probably a bad thing. I wouldn't mind seeing someone else brought into the fold.
I like what Dave played on Contraband (from what I could make out in the bad mix), but I HATE his playing on Libertad. So much so, that if I ever listen to it, I turn the balance over to just hear Slash.
I'm sorry, but fart-sounding guitar doesn't make for good guitar tones, especially alongside the almighty Slash, who unfortunately hardly has any presence on Libertad anyway.

I just got a copy of this book from one of my friends and I'm about half way through it.
I haven't tried anything yet that I've read, but it's a pretty good read and I'd be willing to hear what more you have Randall, as I've had no luck with women lately! hehe
#4024 Re: The Sunset Strip » Alice in Chains » 911 weeks ago
Do you guys prefer Layne without AIC (Mad Season) or Jerry's solo stuff (Boggy Depot, Degradation Trip)?
I'm a guitar nut, so I prefer Jerry's stuff purely for the great guitar playing, but Mad Season is pretty damn good too.
Boggy Depot is a bit hit and miss, and a bit more poppier than AIC, but Degradation Trip is music to kill yourself to (in a good way, if that makes sense! hehe).
Apparently Jerry went through some really fucked up times during the making of that album, and you can really hear it on some tracks, with how sombre the tone is.
I think some of the better songs on there easily stand on par with the best AIC stuff too.
#4025 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Who should be the next singer for VR? » 911 weeks ago
John Corabi would be my pick. They could go in a more heavier rock direction with him too, rather than the pop/alternative styles that were starting to come up on Libertad.
I think their potential could be awesome. Plus John plays guitar as well.
It's funny though, with all that has happened, no-one is really saying, "I hope they patch it up and continue on", everyone is more like 'who should the next singer be??" I guess that shows how much the fans don't really like Scott in VR.
If VR continue, I just want Slash, Duff & Matt to get someone great without the problems that Axl, and then Scott had. But after they spent two or so years auditioning singers before Scott, who's to say they would be willing to go through all that again?
#4026 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » New Duff Interview "VR is going to be around for a long while yet" » 912 weeks ago
So much for them returning to Australia to make up those cancelled dates then huh...?
I hope Scott goes back to STP for good. He's the one that's dragging the rest of VR down with his antics.
#4027 Re: The Sunset Strip » Just got home from Ozzy and Zakk » 913 weeks ago
That's great to hear man, I'm seeing Ozzy in two days in Sydney and I'm really looking forward to it.
What was the set like? Did they play much stuff from Black Rain?
I haven't got that album, but have every album before that, so I'm hoping for alot of older stuff.

Well, they won't be on the record - at least not in that state.
Exactly, they mentioned that bits of those songs might end up in other new songs they were working on.
#4029 Re: The Sunset Strip » Avril Lavigne thinks her fans are weirdos! » 914 weeks ago
Regardless of the punk poseur thing, I still think her songs are crap. Her lyrics are lame and just seem to be whatever she can come up with that rhymes together.
Sorry, I'm not changing my mind on that.
I have to agree with Avril though, her fans are weird just from the fact that they even like her music to begin with! hahahaha

I can visualize you in my head pumping your fist when she performed Fuel back in 2003 during the MTV Icon: Metallica show.
Damn, that made me giggle.
I though she absolutely sucked at that show. Her band sounded pretty good, but she sounded half asleep when she was singing. I think they interviewed her for the show too, and she seemed like she had no idea about Metallica. 
Her shit songs make my ears bleed, I don't care how good-looking some people think she supposedly is, I still want to punch her!
