Thanks to Nicole: I have to say that Velvet Revolver put on the most kick-ass show I've ever seen. Slash is my idol and I admire his passion as well as the other guys. Scott was amazing and did a better Axl than Axl does! Duff rocked it and so did Matt and Dave. They rocked the place! I hope they come back soon, we miss you guys lots...maybe I'll get to meet you someday. It was the most amazing halloween ever. I'll never forget it.

Thanks to Shawn & Dylan: Fuckin'A !!!!! So what they had production and setup problems. They still played one hell of a show!! Slash started off imitating "Buckethead" from the Axl group. Then he metamorphasized into the Slash of the old days when Velvet Revolver played It's So Easy. After it was all said and done with he had changed into something entirely new. He (Slash) and the rest of Velvet Revolver (Duff, Matt, Scott, and Dave); will be the band that saves Rock n'Roll from the current climate--all the disposable pop and cookie-cutter metal bands!!! Slash played the guitar behind his head. Slash played a killer solo on the talkbox. Then he finished it off with a marvelous version of Slither. Slash is a living legend. Velvet Revolver is not GN'R and it's not STP it's Velvet Revolver F'N Revolver!!!!

Thanks to Acacia: This show was unbelievable! I still feel a bit as if I made it all up. Everyone looked happy and healthy, played extremely well and had on the best costumes! Scott was Axl, Slash was Buckethead, Duff was 'live through this' Courtney Love, Dave was a demon and Matt wore a skeleton mask. When I met Slash after the show, he was really happy about Duff's Courtney outfit, which really was an amazing costume. I can't wait for the photos. Well done, Velvet Revolver!

Thanks to Hannah Yester: The show was awesome!! I just thought I'd send in more info on their Halloween outfits. Dave was dressed as a devil. All red with horns stuck on his head. I can't remember what Matt was. Duff was wearing a tiara, a dark pink slip dress that was quite short. Fishnet stockings, silver gloves that went up past his elbows, and white boots with little heels on them. He looked more like beauty queen than a faerie. They played like that for the first three songs, then changed into their normal clothes. When they got back on stage, Scott said "Who were those guys?". I can remember all but one song they played, but I don't know the order. They played all the songs off the album, except, You Got No Right, Loving the Alien and Dirty Little Thing. They also played It's So Easy and Sex Type Thing. It was a great show!

Thanks to Metalhead: It was Halloween night so the freaks were out in force both on and off stage. Actually there weren't tons of people there. Maybe only half sold out... Velvet Revolver took the stage dressed as GNR with Weiland dressing up like Axl and Slash had on the entire Buckethead outfit. Duff was in a pink dress. They had a guy in a giant Bunny costume running around stage the entire show and then between sets, a guy dressed up like the Hulk (fitting I guess) tackle him. Set list seemed similar to all the others. They definately outclassed the other bands that played....Earshot and Chevelle, although Shinedown played very well.

Thanks to Michael: Velvet Revolver came through last night to help Little Rock celebrate Halloween. They came on stage dressed in costumes and wait, get this...Slash was dressed up like Buckethead and Scott was dressed up like Axl Rose!!! They absolutely killed!!! After playing the first 3 songs in costumes, they left the stage, changed back to normal attire and proceeded to blow the roof off of Alltel arena. It was a kick ass show which included all the songs off the new album except for "Loving with the Alien", "You got no Right" and "Dirty Little Thing" which I really wanted to hear. They played "It's So Easy" and "Sex Type Thing", and a killer cover of Aerosmith's "No More, No More(?)" and ended the night with a blistering version of "Slither". Absolutely the best show I've seen in months, and more fine women than I think I've seen all year....Thanks Velvet Revolver

Thanks to Dylan And Craig: As far as we're concerned that was the baddest fucking thing we've ever seen. First of all it was Halloween night and the guys came out dressed as the bullshit Guns and Roses band that Axl had with him during his appearance at the MTV Video Music awards; Slash dressed as Buckethead, Scott dressed as Axl, Duff was in a pink fairy outfit. It was definitely something to see. They rocked two or three songs in costume and then came out as themselves and Scott said "who the Hell were those guys." Overall the show rocked Little Rock like it's never been rocked before. We were in total awe of the new supergroup and Slash and the boys are now officially legends in our Book. We can't wait for more and hope to make the Memphis show on November 6. Rock On.

Thanks to Dave Morris: Dave Kushner was dressed as a devil and Duff was a ballerina (not just wearing a pink dress) - I didn't get the best look Matt but he appeared to be dressed as a skeleton. The white rabbit stuff that other folks have mentioned was awesome. When they came out for the encore, Duff said something to the effect of "Have you seen this white rabbit shit? This is crazy! Someone must be on LSD!" Anyway, the set was awesome as other folks have said. Just thought I'd add these details.
