Thanks to Chef Kevin: I was a leader of the catering crew that fed all 500 of the crew, roadies, hangers on, and everybody else breakfast, lunch and dinner.

After that I sneaked out the back and lo and behold I look up and it's Slash! I hadn't seen him in concert since 1988 when GnR opened for Aerosmith in Cleveland. I had never seen STP or really been into them, but when I seen Scott onstage I was blown away. I've never seen a concert that had that effect on me. My wife loves me but still thinks I'm crazy for buying everything Velvet Revolver on ebay.
I actually own two Velvet Revolver cds, one that has almost never left my car and one for hers when I'm in it! I know Scott always says that "It's So Easy" by GnR is the best rock song, but he's wrong. I listen to "Sucker Train Blues" EVERY morning on the way to work. Scott, Slash, and Duff are my inspiration for staying sober. Thank You Guys!!!

P.S. Thanks to Duff for the autograph! It's in a frame on the wall next to my Ozzfest pass!

Thanks to Jennifer Mcgill: Well, that concert was my first real concert and I'm happy and proud it was my first. Thanks Velvet Revolver for popping my cherry! It was an awesome show, the lights, how loud it was amazing. The bands energy was pumping everyone up as well. I'm just waiting for them to come back and play again, all us south'ners are craving a kick ass rock like Velvet Revolver!

Thanks to Cavan: Fucking amazing! STP is my all time favorite band and I had no idea that Velvet Revolver had been playing their songs on tour, so I flipped out when Scott said"this next song is from 1992." Everyone went crazy and the band broke into Dead and Bloated. It was my first time seeing Velvet Revolver, but the 3rd time I've seen Scott and he was amazing as usual. Slash's solo at the end of Set Me Free was incredible! Velvet Revolver's performance was worth my $40 ticket by itself.

Thanks to Chris: I can't believe no one has said anything about Velvet Revolver doing STP's Dead & Bloated. Fucking blew me away. Awesome show. About 10 or 15 mins. into their show Slash goes backstage and pulls out the old top hat. It was bad ass. I'm not big on all their songs but I know they played all their singles. Awesome fucking show.

Thanks to Trojan: Velvet Revolver just plain kicked ass, stole the show from Ozzy, untill he played Black Sabbath.

Thanks to bj hornbuckle: The boys were back in town, kickin' ass and takin' names! Slash was in his element with the scorching solos, but this 34 year old mother of three was made to feel like a naughty little schoolgirl by the vocals and performance of Scott Weiland. Totally topped all the other acts. My only complaint is that it didn't last longer.

Thanks to KingReptile: The boys were on fire full of energy!!! They were eating up the huge crowd that was on hand. The crowd seemed to love them, they played fast and hard. This was my 5th time seeing them this year 7th overall. This was one of there better performances!!!

Thanks to Eddie: This was my first time hearing Velvet Revolver live; therefore my expectations were high. And of course, Velvet Revolver met them. First and foremost, Scott puts on a great show on stage. Secondly, I was blown away by the solo Slash played at the end of "Set Me Free". The best performances most definitely were "Set Me Free" (Because of Slash's solo at the end), "Fall To Pieces" and "Slither". Overall, it was one of the best shows I've seen' although, Ozzy and Black Sabbath dominated the entire show (as should be expected).
