Thanks to Yannick L . : 70000 people behind me I was on the first line and that show was fucking incredible. :| Duff arrived first and stood in front of the crowd and he looked like "I own the world" and the crowd went nuts when they started Sucker Train Blues. Seems like Scott loves saying "motherfucker" cuz he did every 2 words :p aww. And Slash threw his pick it was so close from my hand and...it fell in front of the stage near the security guys and some kid who got pulled out the crowd to get out took it just in front of me :@ That's the only Velvet Revolver show I've seen but that was one of the best of the whole festival and Scott's voice was fucking awesome compared to other lives I heard and he totally kicked ass on G'n'R songs (even heard some kids asking if it was a song from their next album when they played Mr Brownstone :D )

Thanks to Decea: This is the first time I saw Velvet Revolver. I was so exited to see them play. Before the concert I only knew (and loved) 'Fall to Pieces' which they actually played. I was so happy. Apparently I also knew Slither without even realizing it. But anyway, the concert was great. A lot of people were there to see Duff and Slash at work. I also enjoyed seeing them, they are really cool. But I also really enjoyed seeing Scott, I love the way he moves and sings. In all, it was the best day of the festival (also because Green Day played right after Velvet Revolver and were amazing). Yesterday I bought Contraband and I can't wait to see Velvet Revolver again.

Thanks to Elke: This day is going to be the greatest day of this year. I was standing there on the 3 line. And I know one thing it was a hell of a show. This is the perfect band who cheers me up when I'm down. Perfect words... perfect solos at the right time. Love you Velvet Revolver...see you next time at the fucking rock & roll show <33

Thanks to Ramiro Gonzalez: I was just some meters away from Scott. Having a smoke in my pipe and a beer in the other hand singing along GNR songs. Slash is just as the GNR Tokyo videos. Great show, a lot of people.

Thanks to simone: Velvet Revolver did a great performance at Werchter!! They looked very relaxed.

It was the first time I saw them play so I can not compare it with other shows, but to me they were the BEST. I tried to get in the front which was not easy, but I had a perfect spot. Slash was right in front of me, he's my all time favourite! He was playing more than fantastic. Scott makes me smile when he's sort of dancing....he did great.

Thanks to Preben: For me, Velvet Revolver blew away every other band this weekend but the press in Belgium isn't realy positive about the gig...but then again FUCK 'EM!

Velvet Revolver started 15 minutes late but as soon as Duff started the Sucker Train Blues intro I went freakin' nuts! A lot of moshpits and crowdsurfers in front of the stage and I think the crowd was realy enjoying the gig, crowd was a lot better then at the Pukkelpop Festival last year. Slash and Scott were rockin' so hard running around the whole time, I think Duff was smokin' weed on stage :)...it looked like weed hehehe. Dave and Matt were great during Set Me Free, just a killer rock n' roll show!
My dad worked backstage at the Werchter Festival and after the gigs he called me and he said that I should take a look at some pictures of the gig. I went to him and the mutherfucker had pictures with him and Slash, Duff and Matt...I was so pissed hahaha

Thanks to Andres Porta: Great show, Scott's right. Rock 'n Roll is NOT about observation... rock 'n roll is about participation!

Thanks to David: The show was incredible!!! I saw them last year in Pukkelpop 04 and that show was great but yesterday's night was even better!!! Slash was very very cool (like everytime) and Scott was amazing! Slash played with a new Black Les Paul with a bigsby vibrato bar on Mr Brownstone! Velvet Revolver rocks!!!!!!!

Thanks to Kristof De Block: Dear Velvet Revolver fans

Just got home from the show at Werchter. It was GREAT - super - loud and motherfucking rocking!! I think about 60.000 people enjoyed the band, some real close to the stage, others a little further, more relaxed.

This was a great warm-up for a world-tour: the audience obviously wanted more!
