Title: Velvet Revolver
Post by: Spriggan on June 10, 2004, 09:01:38 AM: Anyone know if the group is any good? Velvet Revolver is basicaly GN'R with Scott Weiland (of STP fame) replaceing Axel. I'm tempted to go out a get their first CD (wich came out this week) but want to know if anyone has heard them before.

Post by: Spriggan on June 16, 2004, 10:47:09 PM: I never heard the Hulk one, so I'm afraid I wouldn't know if the rest of the album sounded like it.

Also that Hulk song is on it as well, and you're right it sucks. Its the worst song on the album.

I like the song though...

*wonders if it's the one you hate*
