Talk:Velvet Revolver

New Album - 'Libertad'

I saw the new album being added to the article and I thought I'd look it up to cite a reference and found these sources:

Dave Kushner

The previous edit showed Dave Kushner as being an ex-member of Suicidal Tendencies. While the All Music Guide shows that he has appeared on a Suicidal Tendencies record, it doesn't show him as a member of the band.[1] It shows that he was a member of Wasted Youth and Dave Navarro's band. The VH1 biography for Velvet Revolver[2] shows that he was also a member of the Electric Love Hogs. I have omitted any reference to his membership of Suicidal Tendencies until this can be substantiated.

Supergroup?

Supergroup? Arent articles supposed to be neutral? This just sounds like a suck up article.

No a supergroup is a group that is formed from members who are already famous and have already become known. Velvet Revolver are formed mainly by ex Guns N' Roses members so they are counted as a supergroup. ( Davehard 18:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC) )[reply]

Following Wikipedia's own definition of supergroup ("music groups comprising members of great proficiency who had already achieved fame or respect in other groups or as individual artists"), I'd say Velvet Revolver qualifies. I think it's difficult to argue that Guns 'N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots never achieved any notable fame or respect. BinaryTed 18:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2006 Update

The paragraph beginning "As of August 2005" needs updating. Does anyone have info? Can we simply make everything past-tense, assuming that the "plans" were followed-through with? Mitchell k dwyer 21:00, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking Up?

I heard rumors that there are internal problems in Vevet Revolver. Cananyone confirm or disprove it? --REBELYIS 23:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know that I am probably in the minority here and I know that what I am waiting for may never happen. I've been waiting for a new Guns N' Roses album- not Chinese Democracy. But an entirely different and new album. One featuring the original lineup (without Steve Adler). The lineup that was featured on the Use Your Illusion I & II. I'm talking about Axl and Slash putting the past behind them and focusing on reclaiming the glory that was lost around the release of the Spaghetti Incident- 12 years ago. I'm talking about Slash, Axl, Dizz, Izzy, Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke.

Fans of Velvet Revolver should realize that despite Axl Rose's faults and imperfections, he knew how to be successful. Patience, Sweet Child O'Mine, Don't Cry, November Rain, Welcome to the Jungle, You Could Be Mine and Paradise City, all reached the top 40.

If Velvet Revolver disbands, let's hope that Guns N' Roses reunites and launches a reunion tour.

Maybe I'm dreaming, but I hope that G N' R reunite.

With a new Velvet Revolver album due the first week of November, it seems less likely.

A new G N'R album is what I want. I'm still waiting for G N' R to reunite.

Motley Crue did. The Eagles did. Now I just need Guns N' Roses to reunite and David Lee Roth to rejoin Van Halen and things will be back normal.
