2004 - Contraband.
more VELVET REVOLVER.
way more Helter Skelter.



June 8, 2004 - 2024: 20 years of: Contraband.

Who needs Axl ?

It's been along time since Slash and Duff haven't kicked ass. Tagging along ex-GNR ex-THE CULT Matt Sorum and rocknroll's most dangerous frontmen ex-STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Scott Weiland ...you know asses are going to be properly kicked. In this new rock stale millennium, no warning-shots as these are live-rounds ...these are the VELVET REVOLVER !

The cool knuckle-massage of "Sucker Train Blues" rips through 2004's helpless scene. Louder and obnoxious, the band levels-up for this new generation with "Do It For The Kids", the unlawful "Illegal I Song" and the facewash of "Set Me Free".

Cool riff and cool mojo oozes from "Big Machine" and the leading single "Slither", while arenas are warming-up with "Spectacle" and the core illusions of "Fall To Pieces". Sunset Strip hasn't laid to rest, it just got laid again.

A modern super band, with a modern super sound. The hype was huge, expectations were sky-high and the dangerous attitude was real. In a parallel world, the reunited MÖTLEY CRÜE would anounce itself in late 2004 ...hardrock is fuckin' alive.

Straight outta the snakepit and RIAA-certified 2x Platinum, the revolvers would fire again with 2007's Libertad CD. The forever last VELVET REVOLVER ever as the unstable Weiland would eventually be fired and later Slash and Duff would do the unimaginable ...rejoin Axl !
