Thanks to Rocker: It was a great show, crowd was exiting and happy, they sang almost every song, specially Guns n' Roses y STP songs (stronger GNR songs), there were many people ( around 10.000/13.000), every age and it was evident they enjoy every secong of the show, if was a cold night but the excelent Velvet Revolver sound got fire Santiago, maybe setlist was a bit short but it was a very good performance anyway. I hope the band will come here in a future to give us a longer show. thanks Velvet Revolver for give a best days of my life...

I love "Libertad", Keep rockin'..

Thanks to Aline Cunha: The show was amazing and i am still walking on the clounds . I met a guy that play guitar on VR cover´s band, i guess his name is Flávio or Felipe...i cant remember, this guy make his band shows in at a club in Rio called GARAGE. He asked someone that works at Citybank Hall to give slash a letter telling his story and about his cover band, attached the letter he sent a t-shirt of the place that his bank used to play for around 2.000 people(The garage). In the line before the show, he was very anxious if Slash got the letter and if there would be a chance of Slash wear the t-shirt . When the show started ,Slash appeared wearing the Garage t-shirt he sent.The guy was sooo happy and crying. The only thing that made me sad it was that i guess he hadn´t the chance to meet the band on the backstage.

Thanks to diego de argentina: Hi!!! I'm Diego from Argentina, I expect that understand this mail, I am not good in this language. I was in Chile the 10 and the show was perfect, there was few people then could be appreciated a lot better, there were many boys with oarswomen of GNR. But in general they sang all the songs save the new, I do not remember well the set list, I believe that did 3 new themes, 3 of GNR, 2 of STP and one of Pink Floyd. For my flavor I lack Big Machine is a cancion tremendous to listen it in alive, Set Me Free it was a little badly, himself not because, expected but in alive and I believe that something failure on the other hand the sound of Used To Love Her I sound magnificent. The people was anxious by the band and the wait was done long and when I finish all they sang so that the show continued, was amazing.

I personally arrives at Chile 3 hours before the show and I had to go al stadium with my bags, I was not very calm ovbiamente, but him enjoyment a lot.but late I was to the hotel hyatt where they were but arrive late and not saw them.then to following the morning, I was me early al airport,I returned to Argentina that same one I gave and expected to see them in the chek in,after expecting and to expect they appeared in the salon of migrations and then approach me,first matt, then duff and by I finalize slash who was delayed in the control of metals obviously (jeje)they carried themselves very well very good wave, I had them all for my, the guard of slash was Argentina and he had all the wave, he take me a photos with them he speak with slash, about the show on Sunday in Argentina with aerosmith,speak with duff about the new songs and the two we said that they were good (jeje really very good), with dave all well is very pleasant, when to were about to undertake I saw scott but I it do not matter to me, I itself that the is different then neither approach me. I take some photos with my v3 and a lady of the airport I take me some very good but blank and black, them abandonment a folder with them to see them, they excuse again my idoma I want to thank to freetranslation.com jejejejeje.

I go to the recitals of the 15 (with Aerosmith) and of the 16, I expect to be able to send them something.

Thanks to Nain Maslun: 2 hours ago I was watching Velvet Revolver at the Pista Atletica in the National Stadium. It was a great show full of Guns N' Roses fans. Everybody was so happy to see former Guns N' Roses integrants and listen to some of the old songs. Everything was ok until Slash start to play "Its so Easy", the crowd woke up and it was amazing. Then they surprise us with "I Used to Love Her" and "Mr. Brownstone". One of the greatest was "Fall to Pieces" singed for the whole crowd. Velvet Revolver amazing! We came back to our houses really f*ckin' happy! Thanks Velvet Revolver for make our dream come true. Thanks Duff for keeping our Flag. But the only thing we didn't like was we didn't listen "Plush" or something of Stone Temple Pilot. Great show!

Thanks to Macarena Rojas: I can't believe it... I've never thought that I would see scott weiland. Just amazing...

Thanks to Mauro: Ok. Primero que nada, debo decir que fue asombroso tener a VR tocando aca. No veia a Slash, Matt y Duff desde 1992. Estan todos en muy buena forma. El Show estuvo muy bueno, pero no excelente. Comenzo con 45 minutos de retraso, despues de una pareja presentacion de Bad Religion. Encuentro que fue un error comenzar con un tema desconocido, debieron poner suckertrain blues primero, ya que la energia del publico no se canalizo del todo. El sonido estuvo deficiente, faltaba mas claridad, pero igual se aprecio bien a SLASH. La energia de la banda es fabulosa sobre el escenario, Scott "la lleva" (rules), es un excelente frontman. Slash como siempre se lleva las miradas, duff con una excelene puesta escenica y Dave volo por los aires saltando desde la plataforma de Matt casi 3 mt . Matt para mi gusto toco muy suave, no se si por tecnica o por falta de energia,cosa que no paso en IT SO EASY, don de la rompio!!! Un punto alto fue cuando arrojaron la Bandera de Chile a Duff, el cual la agarro, la movio en el aire y la coloco sobre sus amplis. Se saco hasta el bajo para ponerla, pero se callo, por lo que llamo a un roadie para que la pegara con cinta adhesiva. Extrañe mucho que no tocaran You Got No Right,sera para la proxima. Faltaron temas definitivamente. A pesar de todo Velvet Revolver es una excelente banda de rock and roll y ojala regresen por sudamerica denuevo.

Let It Roll (No la recuerdo, era todo un caos, el publico estaba vuelto loco)
Do It For The Kids (excelente)
Superhuman (excelente)
Suckertrain Blues (10 veces excelente)
She Mine
Crackerman
Fall To Pieces
Get Out The Door (excelente cancion, buen coro)
It's So Easy (Revento el estadio)

Encore Break

Wish You Were Here
Used To Love Her (Scott se perdio en la entrada, me imagino a que el publico comenzo a cantar, por lo que el recupero la segunda linea de la cancion)

Encore Break

Mr. Brownstone (Comienza Matt, solo en el escenario, luego entran DUff y Slash...hacen la intro y luego dave y scott) Slither. (Excelente version)

Espero que puedan traducir esta pequeña revision

Otros Datos. Matt firmo discos el dia lunes por la madrugada, se saco fotos con algunos fans. Slash autografio una Les Paul de un fan que lo siguio desde la prueba de sonido.

Saludos desde Chile...

Thanks to Spy: It was fantastic, the new songs are amazing. You'll love the new single. The thing is it was filmed complete for a tv channel so they´ll broadcast it soon. I'll try to take the tapes before that hehehehe but you'll see this concert for sure! The meeting? Well everyone was so kind. Dave,incredible guy so funny, Duff was incredible also, thanks to the manager for take the picture with my wife. The smoothy Matt always kind especially with my wife and the master well speechless Slash and after meet them all we went to the concert. Amazing really really good songs. Well I just shake hands with all of them and express how gratefull we are (in name of all the gunners I know) and congratulate them for all what they achieve in their lives and music history. We hug with my wife and all of them were so kind, thanks to them really. Soon we'll make a extensive rewiew, see ya around.

Thanks to Alex Spaceman: A very good show... Weiland was amazing and Slash was in his best performance. I was amazed with all the songs. Thanks VR for coming.

Thanks to michelle_rose: Meeting Slash was really cool. Sitting in the lobby of the hotel I saw slash coming out of an elevator and said Slash. He looked up, we walked up to him and he was really cool, talking, taking pictures with us till another guy grabbed his arm. That guy Slash immediately shaked off him and said: don´t crowd me man, and went on signing and taking pictures with us while the bodyguard took the guy aside.

It was really weird meeting all of them and being able to talk to them calm, without other people around, they where so kind and nice, really down to earth, they left me completely happy .

They opened the show with a new song, they played 4 new songs, damn I have to tell you guys ... THOSE SONGS ROCK! It was such a privilige to hear the new songs as first people in the world, as the tour started here.

Thanks to Gonzalo C: Gracias velvet revolver por este maravilloso concierto en chile lleno de talento y buena musica, disfrute tanto como la unica vez que vino al estadio nacional guns n roses el 2 de diciembre de 1992 ese año yo tenia 20 años y ahora he visto nuevamente a Duff,slash y Matt con 34 años, soy completamente un seguidor por siempre de velvet revolver. no pude cumplir el sueño de recibirlos en el aeropuerto, tenia todas las intenciones y ganas, pero el 9 de abril era el cumpleaños de mi esposa, habia averiguado el vuelo y la hora de llegada , pero tuve que decidir entre mi esposa o velvet revolver, mi esposa fue la eleccion pero mi gran recompensa fue el inolvidable concierto del 10 de abril. algun dia cumplire el sueño de sacarme una foto con velvet.
