![]() I've also heard some different ways of playing the bass, but I haven't really heard anyone play it just "a little" like VR. ![]() Really easy main-riff etc., but I've heard alot of different version of the intro and break (2:30) before the solo. Niko from Odense, DenmarkOne of the hardest songs to play.i think this song has lot of reference to drugs (for example "rape my mind and smell the poppies") Weiland had a tough time with drugs and even when VR (although not officially formed as a band) were recording "set me free" for the OST of "HULK". Stink from Male'the song is about drug addiction. ![]() Louis, MoDo you think the name Velvet Revolver sounds just like the name Guns N Roses? It was featured on a commercial for Guitar Hero 3. Max from Laconia, NhThis is a beastly song.The only thing similar is that they are both loud, hard hitting songs that pump you up. Slither has completely different sounding vocals(though the same singer) and different guitar riffs and drum beats. Ben from Minas Tirith, Mook, for those of you who think this sounds like Sex Type Thing, no.It reminded him of revolution, and change, but also a revolving door, like change. "Revolver" was chosen by Slash because he liked the sound of the word. Plus, "Guns" is because of an old bandmate of Axl Rose's, named Tracii Guns. You might be referring to the juxtaposition of "Velvet" and "Revolver" with "Guns" and "Roses", in which case you have a point, but it's probably because the band members all personally like that concept. GNR is three words, with plural nouns, and Velvet Revolver is two words with an adjective describing a single noun. Louis, Slash's autobiography explains the origin of the name "Velvet Revolver," and it was not chosen to copy Guns n Roses, and I don't think they sound anything alike. The first time I heard it, it had a high, wailing quality that almost sounded like a woman singing. It seems to take a backseat, which is unfortunate because it's so great, and in GnR it was always key.īut I do like the part in the song, after the guitar solo, when the chorus starts again, when Slash's guitar cuts in. Slash is and always will be an incredible guitar player, but he even says it in his book: His playing isn't as pronounced on this album. They just don't have that FIRE Guns n Roses had. Nicole from Chicago, IlI personally think this is one of the few Velvet Revolver songs worth listening to.There is that little "similar" something in the opening guitar. Nicole from Chicago, IlTo Vicki: I think Fall to Pieces is not only not as GOOD as Sweet Child O Mine, but two different songs entirely, HOWEVER, I can see how someone would compare the two.Nicole from Chicago, IlTo Matt in CA- What are you talking about? Contraband doesn't have half the powerhouse songs GnR put out.Lee from Oceanside, CaAnyone know the Model featured in the vid?.Caitlyn from Royersford, PaI Looovve this song!!! and Velvet Revolver!! I mean Scott Weiland's perfect grungy voice combined with Slash's electrifying guitar solo just makes for the best song to come out in a very long time.Jean from San Lorenzo, Puerto RicoGravedancer's riff, a song on Velver Revolver's Libertad album is easy to be compared with Fall to pieces but, Sweet child o' mine? NO.GNR, however, came from the members of the separate bands Hollywood Rose and LA Guns joining together to make Guns n Roses. Velvet Revolver gets its name from Slash simply liking the name name Revolver and then "Black Velvet" was added by Scott to make it an oxymoron and then they just decided on Velvet Revolver. Louis : I can see how you can think they copied off GNR, however thats no the case.
