Thanks to Jennifer: THE SHOW WAS AMAZING!!! Three Days Grace got the crowd warmed up and when Velvet Revolver came on, it was INSANE! I had a huge sign that said "I LOVE YOU Duff!" I swear to god he saw it!! But anyways, the concert kicked some major ass....I've never been that happy in my life!!!! I hope to see em soon in a nearby city!*hint hint*:P

Thanks to Matt: Velvet Revolver fuckin rocked. Velvet Revolver knows how to put on a fuckin show. Best fuckin show I have ever been at. Better be back in Saskatoon again soon to see them in concert but most of all to fuckin get loaded with them. Fuckin eh!!

Thanks to Hugh Miller: It was by far the best show I have seen. The Credit Union Center has never been rocked that hard before. Hope to see you guys soon in that area again.

Thanks to Ashley: I just wanted to say the show was great! The only problem was the long wait between 3 Days Grace and Velvet Revolver and the creepy man sitting beside me and my sister who was checking her out the whole time. It was awesome when Velvet Revolver said fuck the no smoking in buildings rule and lit up on stage. It was the best concert I've ever been to even though I really couldn't hear a word Scott was saying, even with the megaphone. Oh well!

Thanks to Relisa Dunbar: I was glad I got up to front row. Amazing things happen more often when up close and they sounded amazing. For their first few lyrics of each song I couldn't make it out because of the music over-powering it, but once I heard one line I heard it a lot better from there.

I'm proud of them. I liked Scott's hat, Duff's Toque and the way Matt couldn't quite make it over his drumset. I also took notice that Duff was wearing the shirt he wore on Leno when they performed Slither.. sexy.

PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Come to Saskatchewan again.. possibly.. Regina? If not, Saskatoon AGAIN! I enjoyed it much so. Good day.

Thanks to Mindy Tetreault: It was so awesome and you guys rock. I loved the show and Slash I love your guitar. Scott nice dance moves, way too shake that ass!

Thanks to Ben: I've been following the band through their Canadian tour, and must say each show has been great! Although the promotional side of things hasn't been amazing, there have been big crowds throughout!

I don't know where the guys get their energy from!

I was a little surprised to read a lot of the other reports with a dislike for the opening act of the last 3 shows, The Mark inside, I was hoping they would play the entire canadian tour, because they really could play blues influenced rock and roll. I'm thinkin the bad reports were just from youngsters still developing their musical tastes and even with no help from the sound guys, they blew my f**kin mind! The drumming was an event within itself!!

3 days grace have been 3 days grace.....not my thing, but hey, what can you do, but I'm not going to put them down, I'm sure a lot of people got into them.....and as for Velvet Revolver....s*it....we all know their ability to control a venue.

I don't even know what day this is.....it's been a crazy time....

Thanks to Deano: Great show once it started, the wait was LONG, but it proved worth it. Three Days Grace did an awesome job of getting the crowd ready... lots of energy in their show.

Velvet Revolver rocked! Kick ass show all around, just nothing but "Rock and f**ing Roll" as Scott said. This was the first time I had ever seen Scott and I have to say he has a stage presence that is as good as anyone I have seen in my almost twenty years of going to concerts. You can't help but watch the guy. As someone else here mentioned very cool when he said hey you Saskatoon mother F**kers and introduced Dirty Little Thing as "Dirty Motherf***in Whore". Perfect rocknroll frontman attitude. One of the best shows I have ever seen. If they are in your town go see them !!!!!

Thanks to Sass: It was nothing short of a legendary rock show, beginning with Velvet Revolver tunes, GNR, to Stone Temple Pilots. It was a smaller crowd but they were errupting like it was a huge stadium. I would go and see them again for sure, hopefully they have a new album soon and come thru toon town. Till then I hope they Slither across america, riding the Big Machine, until they can Fall To Pieces in toon town again.

Thanks to Jeff M: Great rock show! Slash is still one of the best guitarists around. Scott is an awesome performer. Great job as the frontman, high energy, strong voice,& as awesome as GNR was...Scott makes you think Axl who? Nice version of Used To Love Her.

Also a word to the opening band, Three Days Grace rocked. Only down side to the show was the long delay in starting the show. Plus it would have been cool to hear Slash do the intro/solo to Sweet Child and maybe Interstate Love Song. I rate it 8/10. I was very impressed.

Thanks to Des: The Velvet Revolver show in Saskatoon was the best hard punch in face rock show I've seen since Thornley. As a fan of Guns n' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots, this was my first opportunity to see these guys play live and I was blown away, they really "Rocked and F*$#in Rolled". The drum and Slash's Oh Canada solo were great. The stage lights and screens with the digital video clips were really cool too.

Thanks to Cranner: I was front and center. Awesome show. I've been to hundreds of concerts and this is in my Top 5 faves of all time for sure. Smokin'. Keep on Rockin' boys, you are onto a good thing. Can't wait for a new album. Oh yeah, Axl who????

Thanks to Chad: First I would like to thank Velvet Revolver for coming to Saskatoon, they put on one hell of a "R & F n R" show. The lights and stage was great. It's great to see them with Three Days Grace.

Thanks to Jess: We drove all the way from Winnipeg, and man it was worth it. I could not believe what a show these guys put on! I was front row and man these guys looked and sounded great. Who cares if they were late! We met alot of nice people and 3Days Grace kicked ass! No matter what anyone says Velvet Revolver is a band worth seeing!! Scott is so sexy I freaked out when I saw him peek around the corner of the stage.

Love ya!! (cheers to hard work and 2nd chances)
great show guys xoxoxoxo

Thanks to Jessica: The energy in that room was unbelievable. Velvet Revolver brought to us a power and a high that is unforgetable. The way that Slash rocked out during Superhuman was something that I will never forget. I have never had a better time in my whole life. It was orgasmic the way that Scott sang his lungs out and controlled every audience member with a wave of his hand. It looked like the band was truly passionate about what they were doing for all of us. Thank you for showing me the true meaning of rockin' on.

Thanks to Old Fart Rocker: Hey, I am 40 friggin years old and damn these guys rock, damn fukkin rock and fukkin roll attitude, just awesome. Best part was when Scott said, HEY you Saskatoon Muther FUKKERS, DAMN, that was awesome. Best rock attitude around, just don't give a fuck, and say what ya feel. My opinion, No Velvet Revolver without Scott W

Thanks to Jamie: Hey just this past Sunday me and my buddies went and checked out Velvet Revolver live at Saskatoon. Now me being who I am, I'm pretty anal when it comes to seeing bands live. I've seen so many. But I have to tell you, the guys blew me away. In this past year I've seen practically all of the concerts that came through Saskatchewan. Velvet Revolver blew me away like none of the others did. As a matter of fact, I seen GnR when they came through in 93 and this one may have been right up there with that concert if not better.

Thanks to Fan101: Wow, what an unreal show. I've been to many concerts, including Metallica, but I have never seen a show this rocking before. The band seemed so into it and there energy truly made the audience's go up. My respect for Scott Weiland, as a performer, has gone to the peak, he is a great performer, a very interesting person and one hell of a singer. Velvet Revolver truly put on a "how to rock out" clinic. Velvet Revolver can stand for Velvet Revolver, but I truly believe, in this case, it stands for VERY ROCKING!

Thanks to Konrad: Velvet Revolver fuckin rules!!! The show was sweet. It took an hour and 20 minutes after Three Days Grace finished for Velvet Revolver to start, but the wait was well worth it. Very solid show. The stage antics are fuckin out-rageous, Scott definitely loves those Maracas of his. I want to know where to get one of those Velvet Revolver "capes" Scott was wearing when the show finished, they're awesome.

Thanks to Carter: Best show I've ever seen. Saw Metallica 6 months ago and thought no show could ever top that, but this did. Scott is the most energetic frontman in rock and roll. Slash was playing solos that could make you cry. Duff, Dave and Matt also kicked equal ass. Awesome crowd you could tell the band was feeding off that. Best songs were It's So Easy, Big Machine, Mr Brownstone and Used To Love Her. Had a great time.

Thanks to Mike: Special guest was Three Days Grace...they got the crowd going a little.....but after a really long wait for Mr. Weiland to show up, we were ready for some real rock and fukin roll!! Me and my friends went early and got front row on the floor...and it was well worth it!

Slash was 4 feet away at times, standing on the huge bass speakers in front of us! Best concert ever....they performed all the same songs as in Ottawa and Hamilton, but they mixed them up a little!

Thanks to Arielle: WOW! Just got back.. amazing. Three Days Grace warmed the crowd up nicely.. they were good. Then there was a LONG intermission. BUT then... they came out.. and WOW everyone was screaming. They work so well together. I didn't want them to leave.. they came out three times after from us cheering tho. So that was good...3 guns songs (Used To Love Her, Mr. Brownstone and It's So Easy) those got lots of response. Lots of people liked the STP songs too.. there as only 2. Slash even came out and played a little bit of the anthem. :) Everyone liked that.... best show I've been to ever

Thanks to Axel blows: Well- great show, lots of energy for sure! The boys played well loud typical rock show. Moshing, girls and a couple of GNR tunes (2 encores and a megaphone...) Thanks for the energy boys Rockn F**kn roll...
