Title: Audition tapes for Velvet Revolver
Post by: horsehead on March 10, 2009, 03:22:47 PM

here's a couple of new tracks that were used for an audition that Gord Prior held for Velvet Revolver that the whole band recorded.

They're not bad....the 2nd is very punky. If he is the new singer it wouldn't be a bad shout, there is a vague Axl thing going on there

Don't know, sounds a little generic, not something played with passion - the thing I most like on GnR...

Yeah I got bored of the songs and generic lyrics about 1-2 minutes in.

libertad.... i hated.
contraband was good!

the first LP is heavier and has a lot of interesting stuff going on. i cant bare listening to 2 seconds of libertad.
contraband has some lyrics i really hate. whether its the actual words or how they are placed. but the whole thing put together is awesome. reminds me of some obscure mid 90's hardcore stuff.

i dont like these new songs either. as for the vocals sounding a bit Axl-esque, i think they should avoid that.

another thumbs down from me - could be anyone.

they should get Izzy back in the band, he's what made it special and gave it soul.

I saw VR last year when they were touring the new stuff and was really unimpressed with libertad, i got it anyway and hated it.

But although not a classic it is a grower.

Let it Roll is a good song from Libertad, havent really enjoyed any of the others though.
