...yes.
they make a good racket, but it aint the same!IMHO
Saw them last night - ears still ringing!
Don't really know their stuff - went because Slash (who ate all the pies) plays for them.
First three numbers were essentially thrash. The set was (for me) crap to start, good middle, dull end. However the encores were excellent.
The rhythm guitarist was a laugh - he looked like Juan Sebastian Veron auditioning for the Chilli Peppers!

The singer is Scott Weiland who used to front the Stone Temple Pilots
The Velvet Revolver album is great, bet they're superb live
Surprised that they can even organize a live gig with Weiland's standing court order for rehab...
...some good tracks on the CD, though.

Mr Weiland did indeed seem like a man who'd come on stage after something a couple of notches up from a nice cup of tea at Hammersmith last night.
Duff has clearly not eaten all the pies though.
Bit of an odd one all in all. There seemed to be a goodly smattering of VR fans in evidence. Some of the best receptions, however, were given to It's So Easy and Mr Brownstone. It would therefore seem fair to assert that many of the throng, were GnR fans who'd turned up to see Slash, Duff and Matt play and would have been happy with an entire GnR set. No Axl, no GnR though. Hmmm.

Saw them last night at the NIA in B'ham. They did 3 G'n'R tracks, Mr Brownstone, It's So Easy & I used to Love her (bit of an odd choice from Lies). From STP they did Crackerman & Sex Type Thing and the rest was pretty much a run through of the Contraband album. Very impressed with Scott Weiland as a frontman, he never stopped moving all night. Also at one point he was praising "us kids" for "saving Rock'Roll" which made me and the missus giggle (40 this year!) A great gig but an awful sound mix like most really big venues. Oh yeah – 40 mins to get out of the
