Marc Canter said Axl liked it overall, although he was critical about parts of it (like "this part would be better if..."). How would Marc even know? As far as I understand it, Marc is primarily Slash's friend. I doubt Axl and Marc had that much contact before the fall-out when Marc released his book.

But since they were still speaking to each other, it is possible that at some point the issue of VR/Contraband was brought up during some conversation. I think if Marc said that Axl liked Contraband it is because either Axl or someone close to Axl told that to Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 From what I remember from Marc's conversations, he actually was bigger pals with Rose around the early-mid 00s (until Rose had a hissy fit over his book), or at least saw far more of Rose.

For some reason I am not sure they were very close, but yeah, they might have spoken occasionally and then Axl may have said that. I see no reason to not trust Marc on this.

Yes, like others said they were probably talking once in a while. Marc said that Axl himself talked to him about Contraband. When Libertad came out they had fallen out because of the book, but he said he heard from a common friend that Axl liked that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it dropped off the alternate list some time ago. My guess is Axl didn't like singing it/how he sounded on it. Duff should sing Slither - be a jam song that the band would kill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marc is speaking with the whole band - The band isnt talking and neither is Marc - if he wasnt talking to them I am sure u would see some posts on here - The lure and the unknown of GNR- I LOVE IT just like back in the day -nobody knows nothing(media) except the band and their inner circle - cool as fuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Set Me Free has an Axl type tone to it. That or I guess Slither. Don't Drop That Dime would be a fun little number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I have barely ever listened to Velvet Revolver, they just weren't for me but I did enjoy a few tunes off Contraband. After seeing this thread, I listened to Fall to Pieces for the first time in years and I would much prefer to hear Axl do that than The Seeker or any of the jams/solo's.

F*ck Fear Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Slither would sound good, I'm sure. The vocal is in a lower register which Axl wouldn't have a problem with. Fall To Pieces would be neat too. Those are the only two songs I could see them playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles is the definition of a generic songwriter, the lyrics he's written sound like everything else on the radio. Scott Weiland was one of the most personal songwriters out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 13 hours ago, Frey said: And Axl reportedly liked (or even loved) By the Sword. So I assume there's probably some more of Slash's solo stuff that Axl enjoys. Maybe they should do a Slash solo song instead of a VR song. Where did you read that?

Its Tino Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd prefer a contraband deep cut. Headspace, do it for the kids. Not a huge fan of slither and the setlist does not need fall to pieces. Like some one said, there are enough ballads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it came from a chick who got invited to a party with Axl. I don't know the whole thing. But apparently Axl started talking with that chick and other people inside the tour bus. They had a radio on, and By The Sword was playing. Somebody tried to turn the radio off. And Axl told that person not to do it because he liked the song. IF this thing is true. Axl heard the song before. Because he recognized it when it was played on that radio Edited August 7, 2017 by Padme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instrumentally VR sounds like shit, uninspired and totally unfocused. Songs with no extructure and poorly arranged, most of the songs sound the same fuckin riff for the whole song, no variation, totally bland and Weiland voice is even more generic than Myles. And I hate Myles voice. Velvet Revolver is one of the most bland bands that has ever been around, Im glad they're long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
