I'm not a massive fan of Velvet Revolver, but I have to go just to see Slash live. Awesome news.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

I'm buying my ticket

Love Scott Weiland.

I cant wait as VR are good not great but to see some old Gunners I have been waiting for years!!!

The Horden doesnt hold to many though and missing out on a ticket is scaring me!

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Gotta be Big Empty

I would have gone to but I've heard a live version of Slither, if that's anything to go by it's not worth it.

 

[ledzep]

[LESStar58]

Yes but was it a bootleg?

 

[Alex28]

They dont do any GNR or STP covers at all live do they?

Because if they dont do that - all you'll get is their crap Velvet Revolver music! (Granted better than GNR in any case...)
