Thanks to Nick Simpson: Most amazing concert I've ever been to! Incredible instrumentals and vocals! Slash and Duff really busted it out! My only disappointment was not being able to see Matt Sorum play, because of his hand injury. But still the most incredibly amazing performance I've ever seen!

Thanks to Todd Tippin: Best show in Jville in a long time! Glad to see everyone giving their all in our small town / venue. Thanks for not forgetting us little guys in jville!

Thanks to Weiland Staley: Good show overall - Kinda dissapointed to see how small the crowd was but Scott and the boys did their best to bring them to their feet. No opening band which allowed the band to hit the stage around 8:20 something and off stage by 10:30 - Set list was the usual set for a non-Ozzfest show with they exception of Dirty being played instead of COCI. And another suprise in itself is that they dropped YGNR for an electric version of Used to love her in the first encore which I thought they always played accoustic....that was the show though I will let the other novelists that were there give better reviews once they return from the dead.

p.s.-Scott dug the fact that I kept giving him Notre Dame football updates which brought a big smile on his face at two points during the show-Good to see all the other fans from the board there as well, hope all had fun R 'N R

Thanks to VS: The show kicked ass!! By far one of the best shows and they broke out GNR's Used to Love Her and it rocked!!

Thanks to Estranged: This is the second time I've seen Velvet Revolver live! Last time was Orlando, this time Jacksonville. The theatre was a great setting! It was rather small and you can sit if you like! Although I saw not one person sitting :-) What a great performance by all in the band. They all appeared truely into the show and sounded as good or better than last time I saw them. I would have liked to make it to the Katrina benefit show as well in Orlando (09.06.05). High energy Rock n Roll from start to finish. Scott took a few moments throughout the show to show appreciation to the fans and mention the next album! I'm excited to see what the second effort will yield. There was no opening act, which was nice. This way you get right to the real deal! Also means show ends a bit earlier, which was nice as I did had to drive back to Gainesville :-) I enjoyed the entire set and was pleased at the three song encore. Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" was included in the encore, as well as "Used To Love Her" closing with "Brownstone" which is always a treat! :-) All in all a great show, I will be seeing them again when they come around. Also patiently waiting for DVD and next album release :-)

Thanks to Curtis Cole: I just wanted to say that the show in Jacksonville was great. What a relief it is to see that true rock n roll is not dead. Keep up the good work and please come back to Jacksonville.

Thanks to Jose Monteza: The show was awesome!!! Pure rock and roll. They are doing great as a band and keeping their fans happy.

Thanks to Kellyis39: This was the first time I finally got to see Velvet Revolver. Love the music and being that I was in the front row made the experience one of my best. Although the show didn't sell out they still came out rocking and put one ONE HELL OF A SHOW.

Scott Weiland is one of the best singers and performers I have seen in a long time. ALL of the band looked great and played the same. Can't wait to see them again and I love the small venues that they are playing. When you get into the large arena's you lose sight of the whole they are playing to me feeling. I came away from that concert with a whole new respect for its members and really they are and can be one of the greatest bands for years to come.
Stay together guys and keep up the jamming work.

Thanks to Brian: The show was killer. It was in a really small venue where a symphony orchestra plays. The band was tight and they performed like it was an Ozzfest show instead of just a fill show. They played a solid 1hr 45 min. The setlist included all songs from the Contraband with the exceptions of Got No Right and Loving the Alien (2 of my favorites). They also palyed Mr. Brownstone, It's so Easy, Used to Love Her, Dead and Bloated, Sex Type Thing and did a awesome cover of Wish You Were Here! I got to meet Slash after the show! He signed autographs and took pictures with the 20 or 30 of us waiting by his bus. It was the best night ever!
