Thanks to Cam: MY first VR concert.

Amazing been to lots since Velvet Revolver but still Velvet Revolver was the best, topping Alice Cooper and Aerosmith!!!!

Thanks to Pam: This concert was the most amazing experience I have ever had. I was absolutely amazed by how awesome it was. There was so much energy and it sounded great. My ears were ringing for a good 3 days after it. They even played some old STP!

Altogether it was amazing and I am still in lust over Scott Weiland. What a beautiful and talented man!

Thanks to Velvet Revolver rocks: Amazing show, loudest I've ever been to. The only thing that confused the shit out of me was Scott's rant on pop music, I had no clue what was happening.

Thanks to Heather: YESSSSSSSSSSS, Velvet Revolver was amazing I flew from Toronto, Ontario to see em in Vancouver AND it was well worth it. Like others said Scott's voice seemed to get drowned out by the playing of the instruments but AH WELL! ALL IS GOOD! I love Scott Weiland to pieces he's an AMAZINNNNG frontman and he really knows how to please a crowd. Crackerman, Sex Type Thing, Fall To Pieces and Superhuman have got to be the best songs where I let looooose ahaha. I can't wait to SEE THEM FOR THE 3RD TIME, this time in Toronto ahaha YAYYYY!

Thanks to Pam: The best night of my entire life. That concert was so amazing, I can't even begin to tell you about it. I would do anything to see Velvet Revolver perform over and over again!

Thanks to Maxington Forrest: This was my first concert and I was blown away, it was literally the highlight of my life. I loved it when Scott went on that big rant about McDonald's and Britney Spears, I'm never eating at McDonalds again! My ears were ringing for a good three day, speaking of three days they weren't as bad as I expected. All in all though, it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen and I loved the second hand weed!

Thanks to K-Man McLaren: The show was very good, although the acoustics at Pacific Coliseum are kind of ass bad. Weiland went on some useless rant about consumers and corporations, yet he had no problem charging us $75.00 to see him. Anyway, the band was kick ass, Slash, Duff, Matt and Dave rocked all the way through, and the only slowed it down twice for "Fall to Pieces" and "You Got no Right".

There was about 13,000 people there.. it was a good crowd and a kickass show. Weiland is a good frontman, but should really lose the tired old rockstar rants about corporations.. so lame.

Thanks to Shane Tinker: Man it was an awesome show. Slash is the greatest player of all time. I always wanted to see him live and man it was awesome. Too bad he didn't play the solo off November Rain. But he's still awsome. I hope I get to see you guys again soon.

Thanks to Caitlin: I won tickets on a Vancouver radio station called The Fox. I was given 2 tickets for March 31 in the stands about 30 feet away from the stage. Excellent seats. Velvet Revolver were un-fucking-believable. To start the show they did Dirty Little Thing with strobe lights and that really put the crowd in the mood. They performed all the songs without any mistakes, the 2 hours on stage went by quick. When Velvet Revolver took the much needed water and smoke break the crowd never let up once for 5 minutes. Non-stop screaming. Then Slash came on and did a solo while the rest of the band rested. In my opinion, Slash is one of the most talented guitarists out there. Everyone enjoyed his solo as much as when the whole band was playing. Scott really knew how to control the whole crowd. The lights were spectaular. Not one moment was dull. The show was amazing. My sister said it was better than the shows that she has even attended, including Metallica, Incubus, Sum 41, and others. I would suggest to pay money to see Velvet Revolver, they put on an outstanding show and never once disappointed me. They are not new this business and it shows. Seems they are not in it for the money anymore, and are doing it for the excitement of being onstage. An excellent live show. Can't wait till they come back to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. FOX ROCKS!

Thanks to excellerated: Show was unreal. First time to a show with a backstage pass. Everyone was so nice and the band took the time to meet with me and my wife. Same set list as always but they added STAR FUCKER....and did a version of Slither with a much different finish. Then Weiland threw the mic in the crowd and came down by the sound board where we were standing ( Slash's side just behind his stack right where there on ramp is )and hung out till the band finished. Way to to much fun....can't remember much. But I had the time of my life.

Thanks to Scizzot: This show was fucken amazing! After a long wait after Three Days Grace had finished the lights turned off and everybody...and I do mean everybody started screaming. The first thing you saw when the lights returned was Duff, at that point the energy was so high, and the play was so loud with cheering I couldn't even hear what song he was playing. It turned out to be Sucker Train Blues. Scott did a great job on vocals, the only problem being the fact that the band kind of over powered him and he was slightly difficult to hear at points. Duff has on of the greatest stage presences out there. He is always running around and plays to the fans at all points. Slash is a guitar god. I am still stunned by the fact that his solo's and playing in general sound the same consistently. Only problem being he was loved by the fans so much that every time he was to play a solo the crowd cheered to the point of not being able to hear a couple of them. And Dave, holy shit, not to be rude but he is probably the most under-rated guitar player I know of. Slash and him had a kind of "solo battle" and it was one of the highlights of the whole show for me. The only downside to the show was Scott's speech about pop music, didn't really enjoy that too much. During the speech Slash started to realize that the fans were getting a bit bored (the whole time Scott was talking the band was playing background music) and started to go into the next song and Scott got mad at him. Overall the boys put on a great show, high energy and very crowd pleasing. Encourage everyone to see them, or go see them again.

Thanks to Brooke: Wow! Velvet Revolver put on such a great rock show. I was completely blown away!! Slash totally ripped on guitar and Dave was totally rocking out. Everyone seemed to be in such a mood to rock and everyone looked great! I noticed Scott messed up the lyrics on Mr. Brownstone tho but made up and it sounded great none the less. Poor Duff fell on his pretty face! I felt so bad for him he must have been embarrassed! But wow they give so much energy and are so good to their fans unlike Axl was. They really play some great rock n fucking roll. They came out and did two encores and did wonderful

I would see their show every date they have and wouldn't get bored

Go see em if you haven't!!

Thanks to Henry Wan: One fucken cool show. Slash and his solo spot was fucken awesome. Scott was great with his gyrating, Duff was solid on the bass providing a good rhythm and Dave was tenacious with this rhythm playing. Matt was just fucken brilliant, I never expected him to be this good and he was just amazing. Best song was Dirty Little Thing, Slither was great but Dirty Little Thing was just fucken awesome.

Three days grace is meh. Not my thing.

Thanks to Alicia: They were awesome!!! What an amazing band they perform great together and such high energy. That is what a ROCK concert is all about. Hope they come back soon.

Thanks to Chris: From start to finish the band put on an electrifying show that can only be described as true rock and roll. The pure energy emitted from the band was felt throught the crowd. From Slash's flawless solos to Weiland's belting lyrics the show had the stadium on their feet for the entire set of nearly 2 hours.

Thanks to Higgedy: What can you say, Velvet Revolver lived up to the hype last night. As always Slash and Duff were impeccable, sounding as tight as ever. Scott worked the stage like the pro he is and Matt and Dave kept up their end of the bargain. The only points of contention were the sound, (fire the guys on the boards) and Scott's megaphone fetish. All in all they exceded expectations, which were admittedly high. Can't wait to see what they come up with next. Cheers.

Thanks to Pete Scott: Velvet Revolver puts it all together! Straight to the heart rock n' roll! Every song selected had purpose and a major impact. The show was incredulous. Great to see everybody in the band looking and sounding unbelievable! Can't wait for the next album and tour already!

Thanks to Fady Credi: Well... I had so much fun. They are really great live performers. I was standing right in front. They really know how to drive the crowd insane. Playin covers of GnR and STP made it even better. The only bad thing about the concert was the sound. Slash's guitar wasn't heard at all. The rhythym was covering it. Even the vocals wasn't that clear. But it really didn't matter that much. I was really fu*kin wasted...

Thanks to Kelvin: Excellent rock and fucking roll show. They put in a solid effort, they didn't just stand around. The sound wasn't that good, but what are you gonna do? They threw in 3 G+R songs, It's So Easy, Mr Brownstone and Used To Love Her. I had my doubts when they chose Weilland to be their front man, but he does put on a good show. And what can you say about Duff and Slash, fucking rock and rollers!! I'm glad my buddy dragged me to the show, I definitely got my moneys worth.

Thanks to Steve: Sorry don't have a setlist, but this was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Velvet Revolver kicked ass with Velvet Revolver material, and GNR and STP covers. Two encores including Mr. Brownstone and Slither completed the night. Rock and roll is alive, CHEERS!

Thanks to majorguzz: Just got back from the Vancouver gig, FANTASTIC! Velvet Revolver rocked the place like the rock gods they are. Scott is the best front man in rock period. Slash, Duff, Matt and Dave form an unmatched musical nucleus. Even though some in the band were sick, you wouldn't have known it from their show. e were very lucky to get a version of Star Star to start the second encore. A little sloppy but it rocked.

Thanks again boys and hope to see you back in Vancouver real soon!!!
