Thanks to blumpkin6: Pretty good show last nite, Slash was drunk out of his mind and it seemed to effect his playing but overall it was great Scott was on fire.

Thanks to Hoochie: Last night was a good time...anytime seeing Velvet Revolver live is a good time! I had gone to the Atlanta show the night before and to me, Orlando wasn't as good. But I didn't have as good a spot as I did in Atlanta.

Hey, where the hell did Scott go during Sex Type Thing?!?! I couldn't find him! LMAO!! I was up front & kind by that Cuervo sign. I had a hard time seeing that side of the stage anyway, but could not for the life of me find Scott! LOL!!

Some people left right at the encore & my friend & I took their spots on the guard rail. It paid off too! I got one of Matt's sticks. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was the first one he threw out. I managed to make eye contact with him & he came over to me & tossed it right at me. Of course there were suddenly 15 pairs of hands on MY drumstick, but I held my ground!! LOL!!

It was a good show, and I'm glad I went!! Only about 2 more weeks until I see Velvet Revolver again!! WOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to rocknroll_guitar: Velvet Revolver tooootally brought it man. Fucking awesome. Played lots of Velvet Revolver, 2 GNR--Mr. Brownstone & It's So Easy and STP Sex Type Thing and Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here...really did a great job on 'em all! Everone was nuts the whole time. But some fucker threw a water bottle on stage...who the fuck does that? I think I know who it was...this one dude that threw a bottle at the drum tech for Alter Bridge. Bastard. But other than being trampled, squashed, crushed by crowdsurfers...the show was tooooootally the highlight of the whole friggin' concert. Some like 6 foot tall dude shoved his way in front of me and my friend...who are barely 5'3"...and the dude got Matt's drumstick! Grr haha but I can't complain. I think my friend and I got Duff's attention...seeing as we were screaming his name the whole time haha we're such dorks! I think he even posed for a photo but I dunno whatever. But yeah it was the best show! We took pics so hopefully I'll get 'em developed and posted! WOO! I can't wait for another Velvet Revolver show!

Thanks to Sarah: Velvet Revolver is fuckin awesome. They kicked ass. I love them. They fucking rock like hell. It was the best show ever. I wanna go to another concert. G2G. Velvet Revolver rocks my world.

Thanks to Nikki Stefan: I'd like to say Earthday Birthday 12 was a kick ass concert. Velvet Revolver has put the meaning back into true rock and roll!! I've been a Guns N Roses and STP fan since the beginning...and Velvet Revolver is even better!! Great group!! Keep rockin' guys and I'll see ya at the Ozzfest 2005!!!

Thanks to Katelin Merritt: Well, I must say that age has obviously not brought any of these band members down. Slash's guitar skills were amazing & Scott & Duff's energy rubbed off on the entire crowd. Dave was outstanding & Matt was crazy as usual. It was THE BEST show I've ever seen. You guys rocked then, rock now and you will always fucking rock.

Thanks to Drew: Man what a long day yesterday was. Velvet Revolver was scheduled to hit the stage at 9 15 but didn't start playing till about 10. I was able to force myself up to the very front right in front of Slash. Speaking of Slash he was very very drunk last night. Everyone else in the band seemed sober but Slash just looked and was acting very drunk and you could tell because he was very off on his solo's and when he talked random nonsense into the microphone, he was still awesome tho! Scott seeemed really into the show much more than last time they were here in Orlando. Best sounding songs of the night were Headspace, Dirty Lil Thing and You Got No Right. It's still really weird to see somebody else playing Sex Type Thing besides the Deleo brothers but overall Velvet Revolver put on a great show.

Thanks to Lounge Fly: Good show, but the guys seemed really tired. Hopefully they will be rested and up for the 5/24 Tampa show and Ozzfest! Scott still looked amazing - as usual!

Thanks to JERICO: Velvet Revolver fucking rocked!!! Hope you guys saw me at least once!!! I was the one pushed over the fence like 10 times......hahahaha. I had a blast, Velvet Revolver is the real motherfuking rock and roll, no 3
Doors Down bs or Alterbridge. I sat and drank through out those two gay ass bands and saved all my energy for "the Revolver". I haven't had this much fun and felt real rock hitting the heart since back when lolapalooza was around. Keep it up guys, you guys are our generation's Led Zepelin. In my opinion and fuck anyone that says otherwise....

Thanks to Mama Bear: AXL WHO! LOL I saw the guys yesterday and they blew the doors off Orlando! Scott was a madman on stage. They sounded incredible! They played the whole album came out for 2 encores covering Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and really rocked out the old G & R. I thought I'd never hear those tunes live again. Really took me back! Can't wait until their return and I will be there.
