5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Wrap Ourselves in Velvet!, May 3, 2005
A Kid's Review
I just picked this album up (dual disc version) and have not stopped listening to it. It definitely rocks and the DVD side material is a little disappointing. The enhanced stereo version on that side is the best reason to own this version. This band definitely rocks harder than most new rock music out there. It proves that these more experienced musicians make much better music. Whatever happened to Blink 182 or Nickelback - they must died like the wind.

Scott Weiland still has a great voice and Slash really, truly is a master of guitar. I like the combination of Guns 'N Roses and Stone Temple Pilots as a group.

Now for the guy who could not rip the songs off the CD. Is he an idiot or something? I have the secret, and do you want to know what it is? The secret is Musicmatch Jukebox software. I just ripped the songs into MP3s and I have had no problems with the songs and their sound. Now just put them into your MP3 player and you are set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only True Rock Band Out There, July 25, 2005
This album is simply amazing; it sounds as real rock would sound in the Twentieth Century, and not like the trashy grunts put out by the likes of rocker wannabe bands such as Blink 182, or the sickening wails of Good Charlotte (most appropriately known as Good Grief). The best of the best is here. Get it one way or the other.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contraband Rocks, March 23, 2007
The best of G'N'R and STP have one of the best debuts in Rock and Roll in a long, long time. Scott Weiland is in fine form, and Slash is the master shredder of hard rock, pealing off killer solo after killer solo, without the the fickle Axl to bring the proceedings to a crawl. Anxiously awaiting chapter 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great twenty-first century rock 'n' roll.
A really great CD. Velvet Revolver is an amazing hard-working, hard-rocking band. Rock 'n' roll has been suffering since Nirvana. Velvet Revolver has brought it back. Read more
