Thanks to Herbert Gingrich: This was my first time to see the man Slash and Duff the king of bass. As well the drummer Matt the brain masher and Dave as well as Scott. They kicked ass. I hope they come back again. Slash is the next Jimmy Hendrix.

Thanks to Ber: They were so awesome, the wait was annoying, but it sure as all hell was worth it! The Exies were great too! Never in my life have I ever been to a concert that kicked so much ass as Velvet Revolver did. My first actual rock concert...ROCK & FUCKING ROLL awesome show!

Thanks to Samantha Blazon: The show was great. I liked the cover band as well. Slash is hot.

Thanks to Josh: Concert fuckin' rocked. There is no explaining the feeling of seeing Slash rip through a solo no more than 5 feet away from you. The energy this band put forth could have powered this whole entire fucking planet and it was by far the best and most powerful show I have ever seen. There really are no words...

Thanks to Sarah Jedd: Velvet Revolver was definitely the best thing that has come to NH in the longest time!!! They woke the people of NH up to some real Rock n' Roll. There isn't much to say about the concert other than it was awesome. Everything was great: sound, lighting, stage and most importantly the band members!! I'd have to say that some bands are horrible when they sing live but Velvet Revolver is definitely not one of those. Velvet Revolver is a lot better live, they know how to display real talent and have a very strong connection with their fans. I really appreciate the fact that they took the time to come out here because not many bands do. I may be young (14) but I will never forget this concert and hope to be hearing from Velvet Revolver for a long time.

Thanks to Melissa: Went to the show last night - it kicked ass. I was kinda skeptical at first because I heard that Worcester wasn't that good. But we treked up to NH in the snow from Western Mass and it was well worth it. Met some awesome people and totally rocked out. Can't wait to do it all over again next year. Wasn't very impressed with the Exies..but Velvet Revolver was fuckin great. The presentation and just the lights and the guys' energy were amazing..haven''t seen real rock and roll show in a while.. unbelievable!!!!! ROCK & FUCK N ROLL!!!!!!!

Thanks to Tom-Ass: Holy shit what a great show. I went in Worcester and it was a good time but last night kicked it's ass, the sound was awesome and the show was tight as hell. They ripped through the same setlist but every song was intense. The crowd was into it the whole time and the venue was the perfect size for these shows. It wasn't sold out still, the floor and first Tier were and the second had people trickled throughout it. Dave Kushner rocked last night. The whole band did actually and Scott was in top form too. This was the best out of the 3 Velvet Revolver shows I have seen. The first one I drank too much and don't remember a whole lot and the album wasn't out yet so the songs weren't familiar. And the last week at the Centrum was pretty good but that place is so shitty and the sound sucked. Anyway here were the highlights for me last night:
Suckertrain Blues because you could tell right away that they were on it was also cool as hell in the middle when Scott does his little talking thing. - Ilegal I song, the jam in the middle is just incredible live. Gets better every time. - Crackerman, I love hearing that old shit. - Superhuman, that was so intense and everyone seemed to know it now. Great great great great song. - Fall To Pieces, that song is hit ot miss for me but last night it was a hit! - Mr. Brownstone, Slash....need I say more? - It's So Easy, I have a huge welt on my shin that occured at some point during this song. - Sex Type Thing, never get sick of that shit. - Slither- Slither was awesome and the extended intro was fucking awesome.

Those were just some highlights but every song was good like Set Me Free and No More no More. Thanks everyone there for making it a great show. The crowd was singing along all night and that is a huge part of it.

Thanks to Meg: I'm an old (45) year old lady who hasn't heard or seen a great rock n roll show in soooo long. This concert fuckin rocked!!!!! Thank God Velvet Revolver has brought back the raw energy, sexuality, sound and spirit of true rock and roll. Scott is a masterful front man, Duff, Dave and Matt were awesome....but Slash...oh my God!!!! He is hot, sexy and has a great ass!!!! Thanks for coming to NH - and please, come again soon!!!!

Thanks to Jackie: Holy fucking shit!!! This show was awesome, period!!! I wouldn't want to see anyone else. I had been waiting forever for this concert!! Slash was hotter and better than ever, Duff was awesome, Scott sounded great and Matt and Dave were great!!! I loved it!!! Velvet Revolver rules!!!!

Thanks to Joe Annicchiarico: First of all, this is probably the biggest thing that came to NH, since Bill Clinton!!! The show was fucking great! The best I've seen yet! (Also the loudest!!) Slash was amazing, plus all of them had just total raw fuckin energy. ROCK & FUCKIN ROLL!
