Thanks to Dottor Gonzo: In a few words.. THEY ROCKS! Amazing show..and Scott was awesome..and I think it's the only guy in the world who could replace Axl Rose..and it rocks even better.

So.. I loved STP..I loved GNR..and now I love Velvet Revolver!

See you soon!
Bye!

Thanks to Elisa Salati: E' stato un concerto veramente fantastico. Slash Duff Matt sono stati meravigliosi come al solito. Anche il cantante è bravo anche se mi sembra che voglia copiare un po' troppo Axl.

It was a fantastic concert. Slash Duff Matt has been wonderful as usual. Also the singer is fantastic even if seems that he wants to copy Axl too much.

Thanks to Beatrice: First: sorry for my English! Me and my best friend Michela were in Imola only to see Velvet Revolver, it was the second time for me at a Velvet Revolver concert and I've no words to say how amazing, exciting, marvellous it was! They kicked ass! It was the best show I've ever seen! All Velvet Revolver fans, but Oasis fans too, appreciated this great band! They played very, very, very very well!! They played their songs, but It's So Easy, Mr Brownstone too, we were all in heaven....they were great, Slash is still and he will always be my n.1 with his Gibson! He is my guitar hero! Duff is the wizard of 4strings! When they played "Wish you were here" all the audience sang with Scott! During their gig there were something magic in the air and I think we all could feel it! They played more than their previous show in Bologna and Slash made a lot of heavy riffs. Both Slash and Duff said some words in Italian and all Velvet Revolver created a feeling with the audience, me and Michela will never forget last Sunday and emotions we felt together with other Velvet Revolver fans at Imola. This show is the prove that Velvet Revolver is one of the biggest hard rock band in the world with great musicians, who believe in music power and only want to play Rock n'Roll! We are waiting for you, Velvet Revolver, here in Italy we hope to see you soon again in Italy and to listen to your new album!

Thanks to MarcoMile: It was the first time I saw Velvet Revolver on stage. I saw GNR in Turin in 92 and during this concert I felt the same energy!

I loved to see Slash next Duff on the stage....I went back to my 15 years! I appreciated the style on the stage of Slash, Duff and Scott.

Dave is a very good Slash's shoulder. About the music it was perfect, despite a little failure on the amplification soon fixed. The crowd exploded while the boys palyed It's so easy and Mr. Brownstone, but all the songs were played with energy and soon these songs will be on the fan's heart.

For the first time I heard Slash's voice, at the end of the performance he told "Grazie" on the mike.

I went there to see Slash playing and I went back very happy...I saw Velvet Revolver.

Thank you guys and I hope you'll be back in Italy very soon....I'll be there!

Thanks to Federico Sfarra: Hi, I'm Italian and I saw the "Heineken Jammin' Festival" with Velvet Revolver. Great performance of Velvet Revolver, sure better of the headliners "Oasis". See them, has been a great emotion like when they have played Mr. Brownstone, It's So Easy and Wish You Were Here!
Fantastic concert!

Thanks to Cristiana Bergamasco: Just one word: AMAZING!!!!!! I was in the first line and everyone freaked out!!!! I love Duff McKagan, he's my idol since he were in Guns N' Roses and we send kisses to each other. AMAZING! Velvet Revolver FOREVER!

Thanks to Federico Zuliani: What a performance! Despite all the rumors of a sick and tired band, Velvet Revolver rocked off Imola. Scott Weiland was on fire (very different from the Bologna '04 performance at the Indipendent Days Festival...) and also Slash made a very charismatic gig. Show started as usually with "Sucker Train Blues", followed by "Do It For The Kids", "Headspace" and "Superhuman". Then was the time for "Fall To Pieces", with amazing riffs from Slash. After "Dirty Little Thing" and "Big Machine", the covers came: GN'R's "It's So Easy" drove the crowd crazy and STP's "Sex Type Thing" was appreciated too. The well known Hulk soundtrack "Set Me Free" closed the set, but the encore was in the comin'. Slash came back with his "double axe" and his top hat and started to play an amazing Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", sung very well by Scott, with the fantastic support of the crowd. Then we get Guns N' Roses again with "Mr. Brownstone" before the awarded single "Slither" which was the last one. A very good and energetic show!

Thanks to Cristiano: I'm Italian (sorry for my English) and I've been to the show at autodrome of Imola. Great exhibition of Velvet Revolver. In front of thousands young and old guys started the show around 8 PM. They played most of the album songs added with It's so easy and Mr. Brownstone. At the end of the show they came out with a great surprise for the public. Slash with the double neck GIBSON SG, Duff, Scott and Matt played "Wish You Were Here". Great answer from the public even from Oasis fans. For me has been the second time at a Velvet Revolver concert and I can say it's been a great, magic, fantastic, marvellous, incredible moment. Thanks and see you again here in Italy... Bye to all ...
