Pictures No pictures available yet! Reviews Thanks to slashtobe: Second time for me to see the mighty VR, once in Paris, once in Dublin now and I'm going in London next week! The gig was sweet as a nut, all the band playing up to the Irish in the crowd. They played Mr. Brownstone this time (didn't see it in Paris) and started it out with the drums from 'You could be mine' which was amazing but asides from all the quality performances from the album a quality touch was Slash sparking up a fag and commenting on the anti smoking ban! Rock and f**kin' roll!! The sound was a bit off I thought, couldn't hear the solo's that well when accompanied by the heavy guitar riffs but for the softer songs it was all good. The back and forth solo\'s were great, didn't realise how good Dave was until last night and Slash's talk box is still a tasty little touch to his skills... All in all I would definately go see them again. Oh wait... I Am!!!! Rock on motherf**kers! See you in London! Thanks to Pat F: Absolutely F**king AWESOME!! From the moment they arrived on stage to the time they left, the energy in the building was incredible. As a frontman, Scott has few rivals. Slash's guitar playing was amazing. Matt Sorum, what an excellent drummer. Duff, superb. Dave, brilliant. What can I say, other than the Oxegen festival is on in July in Ireland. Wouldn't it be great if VR returned for that? Thanks to Gareth: Had been to Glasgow and London previously and this show blew both those away. Show was sold out and the crowd was wild. The band seemed to really enjoy it, Duff held up the Irish flag on the drum riser in middle of the show. Duff also said hello to his relations in Cork, to which Slash said "you have so many relatives". The lads smoked through the set, even though there is a smoking ban in Ireland, Think Slash made a comment on it, but very hard to make him out. The stand out tune was You Got No Right, brilliant...Glad there was no Aerosmith cover, went down like lead ballon in London 3 day previously. If I was in Axls shoes I would be working out how to beat this, the band is tight, songs are good, show is excellent...and hardest of all ..the lead singer looks part of band, doesnt leave during solos or act like an ass Thanks to Gerry: Well I have to say the show was amazing, the sound wasn't always great but the performance was amazing. The crowd sang their hearts out along with all the songs and rocked their socks off. The band diregarded the smoking ban and Slash made some comments on it but I couldn't hear him clearly. Matt played the intro to You Could Be Mine on one of the songs, can't remember which one now though. Overall it was an amazing gig, Scott draped himself in an Irish tri-colour and Duff mentioned his Irish background. It was a proper rock n f**king roll gig! Thanks to Rob: f**kin brilliant, Used To Love Her was a treat, 5 rock gods playing on the same stage! Velvet Revolver are the f**kin no. 1 band in the world! Rock on slash!!!!!!! Thanks to natasha: Just back from what I can honestly say was one of the best gig's I have ever been too - they were excellent ! Just the right mix of Guns, Stone Temple's & Velvet, just excellent ! Thanks to Jimmy Cleary: WOW!! I must say that was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it! They kicked off the show as usual with Sucker Train Blues and then played Do it for the Kids, they then proceeded to play pretty much all of Contraband. They also played Sex Type Thing by STP and It's So Easy, Used to Love Her and Mr. Brownstone by GNR. Mr. Brownstone in particular was done excellently, close your eye's and it was GNR back in 1987. While Scott, Duff, Matt and Dave played brilliantly there was one big reason why we were here, Slash. He played amazingly. My friend got a piece of his towel that he threw out at the end, needless to say, he was very pleased with himself! Before the concert we wondered whether Slash would have a cigarette in his mouth, due to the smoking ban here it isn't exactly legal, but he did all the same, he even made a joke of how polite and easy-going people were about him breaking the law! If I had fault the show I'd say that the sound wasn't perfect and the drums drowned out the vocals, but considering that the sound was brilliant on the more accoustic songs(Loving the Alien, Used to Love Her) you can forgive that.
