Velvet Revolver began in a spring 2002 jam session that reunited ex-Guns N' Roses bandmates Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), and Matt Sorum (drums) on-stage. They discovered that their chemistry was still going strong, so the trio began pushing around some new music and auditioning singers for what became known as "The Project." Stone Temple Pilot frontman, Scott Weiland came on board next. He and the band clicked immediately, and recorded a hyper piece of glitter metal for the Hulk soundtrack called "Set Me Free." By June, "The Project" had been renamed Velvet Revolver, and Weiland was officially made its lead singer, though possession charges stemming from a May bust were still outstanding. The band signed a deal with RCA, and spent the rest of 2003 fitting in gigs and recording sessions around Weiland's court-ordered rehab. RCA next announced an April '04 release for Contraband, Velvet Revolver's full-length debut; the date was then pushed to May, and finally, to June. That spring, Weiland labored through court dates and recovery as Slash and Duff did advance press for Contraband, and fan anticipation for the album grew. VR also released the single "Slither," a rabid, ambitious rocker guided by Slash's signature guitar sound. The single sidled steadily up the active rock charts, and when Contraband finally dropped, it was to general appreciation for its mix of STP and G N' R signatures, and surprising turn toward hedonistic maturity. Velvet Revolver's sophomore effort Libertad followed in 2007. Browse tickets for Velver Relover Below:
