Thanks to Tom Mchale: Hey what an experience for me - I travelled for a holiday for the Chinese New Year to Tokyo and ended up buying a ticket to see Velvet Revolver - my 3rd time!!! I'm stoked to hear their playing at Download, definitly be there - shame there not headlining - kick System off and put Velvet Revolver in their place - all hail Velvet Revolver

Thanks to Masa: There is no review about 2.8 and 2.9 shows. Someone on the board is posting that many Japanese are not good at English like myself! But seeing no review here, Velvet Revolver fans overseas will worry thar Velvet Revolver isn't accepted and much welcomed in Japan. But Velvet Revolver rocked and so many fans in Japan are blown away at these shows. I was in both two shows. Starting with STB, all the audience were on fire. Slash played with a smile, looked so happy and Scott was a great rock n roll front man! In Japan, there're many bbs where everyone is talking about the band they like. I know some of the Velvet Revolver's. Reading them, everyone in the show is posting that Velvet Revolver is real, great live rock band and excited about seeing Slash, Duff, Scott, Dave and Matt.

On 2.9 show, before the first encore, there was an accident! And the show was stopped for minutes. Duff's ring on his right hand was missing when he threw his picks to the audience! They said that if it could not be found, the show would be finished, because it was his special ring.

Fortunately, someone on the floor found and picked up his ring, and give it back on the stage. Duff thanked her. She was invited to the backstage or somewhere.

Anyway, Japan tour was finished and all the Velvet Revolver fans and RNF'nR fans are waiting their next visit to Japan. Sorry for the poor English, but I wanted to tell Velvet Revolver fans all over the world that Velvet Revolver kicked my ass and all the gigs were full of energy.


Thanks to Kazu Heguri: Thank you dudes! That was very very fucking great rock'n roll show!

Duff, Scott, Slash, Dave and Matt all of you are great! Slash you said, "We are tired". No no, all of your are very very strong, soulful heartful artists! That heavy groovy sounds, acoustic arrange sounds, Scott's transistor megaphone, Duff's leather jacket and long blonde hair like "Japanese anime hero (means good, cooolest)" of course your groovy base sounds is finest, Dave's hottest solo, Matt's solo like "Japanese TAIKO". Last song Bodies!! All of you are great! I'm never going to forget tonight's show! Thank you dudes! I appreciate it!
