Thanks to Hugo Medeiros: Man...i hear Guns N'Roses and Stone Temple Pilots since i was 5 years old at the 80´s,for shure the best time for the music and MTV (with Guns N Roses,Stone Temple Pilots,Faith no more,Alice in Chains,Aerosmith,Pearl Jam,Nirvana...).So,i am a HUGE fan,speciali from every one of Guns N Roses (Duff,Slash,Matt and Axl) and i feel sorry for it´s end,but fortunatly with Velvet i can fell what i felt back there at the 80´s.

Well,i play guitar,and SLASH has always been and always will be my greatest inspiration ,because he can magicaly translate his feelings to the guitar in a way that i never seen before,congrats to you Slash,you deserve all your success.So,the show in Rio...well,with words i can´t describe the whole feeling,but one thing i can tell you:That was the best show of my life,no doubt about it.When i saw the band at the stage (specialy SLASH),i couldn´t believe,i was very,very happy,what a unforgettable night.Thanks SLASH(the best guitarrist),Duff(that was very nice letting the peoplle touch your bass),Matt(if your great and agressive drum),Scott(a front man that whon't let us down) and Dave(a great partner for Slash).

So,the show was great and i could have whatched it for 10 hours(NO KIDING). I hope you come to Rio next year to another incredible night (and this time i hope i can meet you).ALL THE BEST!!!

Thanks to Douglas Souza: It was like a dream to see Slash, Duff and Matt playing again right in front of me. It reminds January, 23th, 1991 on Maracanã stadium during the Rock in Rio II with GN'R. The songs set were very good and everybody was jumping and singing like old times. The sad part of the story is that it ended after Slither and I couldn't catch a pick from Slash. Maybe next time. At least after the show I was 2 days with the buzz on my ears reminding me about it...

Thanks to Roberto Haddad: I'm a med student and had classes until 5pm, but I left the hospital at 3PM. At 4, I was already in line waiting to see, for the first time, VR. Went alone and as always, made friends with the people around me. I have been looking foward for this moment since Contraband came out and the vlogs have been coming out. Well, anyways, the show was aweosome. Even though the place was half full, eveyone there were going crazy. The band was very tight and all seemed to be having fun.


The highlights for me were Fall To Pieces, Set Me Free, Used To Love Her, Wish You Were Here, Mr. Brownstone, and Slither. I'm only sorry that the show didn't last too long (at least for us). I can only thank VR for coming down here and showing us, and the world, what rock n roll is all about.

keep rockin'

Thanks to Daniel Alves: Dude, I have only one thing to say about that show! Totally kick ass! All you guys, you guys fucking rule, that's all I have to say!

Thanks to Carolina: The best Friday XIII ever!!! All started in my "lunch time", when I went to the hotel and saw Matt Sorum and Duff Mckagan, my favorite bass player in 16 years! Should be a lit bit strange be very famous like him. Cause I was thinking, when I saw Matt and Duff was like see some old friend that I never met cause they are part of my life, so I think I was shy cause I know who they are more than 10 years but they never saw me before. But was much better see how nice and gentle the guys are I just wish all best ever to himand say thank you for all this year bring to us a lot of happines with they music!!! GOD BLESS U GUYS!!!

Thanks to Mamute: Great show. The new songs rock!! Let It Roll and Quick Machines are very good. A little burocratic, but still a great fuckin show! Same set list as Santiago. Scott, Slash and Matt rules.

Thanks to Wesley "Steve Riley" William: Hey fucker's!!!! I had the happiness of being in the two shows in Brazil, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro, a velha cidade maravilhosa se sacudiu ao som do VR, eles definitivamente são uma banda, foi emocionante ver todos cantando junto com Scott. The night was hot, the band put back about 10 to 15 minutes, and then I hear an old and well-known voice " Rio..From Hollywood.. Velvet Revolver" e a histeria começou, eu não conseguia acreditar que estava lá, bem na frente do palco, bem na frente de Duff McKagan. 10 years passed since I heard Gn'R for the first time and finally I was in front of Slash, Duff and Sorum. The show begins with the new "Let it Roll" and as well as in São Paulo, she pleased the whole ones.


"Do It For The Kids" made everybody to sing and to jump, we were whole crazy :-) " Sucker Train Blues " takes everybody to the delirium, once again, Duff is really great other new song, "She Mine" great music, it made me to be anxious to hear Libertad. "Superhuman" and "Crackerman" I didn't really get to believe that was witnessing all this. "Fall To Pieces" I swear that I didn't get to see a person that was not singing with Scott, it was touching.
"Get Out The Door " the best of the new songs, in my opinion, certainty many other they found the same as me.
"It's so Easy" I think I don't need to say anything on that, I was hearing It's So " Fuckin' " Easy!!!!! she sounds perfect with Slash, Duff and Sorum. " Sex Type Thing " more a great moment. "She Builds Quick Machines " I really precise hear Libertad, the new songs are fuckin' great. "Set Me Free" as it is wonderful to see Slash to play that riff, live, well in my nose. "Used To Love my Her " Deus, were they playing Used To Love Her, could not it be real, will it be that was everything a dream!? Well, the pains in my body make me to believe that was real.

" Wish You Were Here " was a beautiful moment, without a doubt, everybody singing with Scott, touching.
"Mr. Brownstone " Matt Sorum plays the intro of You Could Be Mine and it takes everybody to think that the band would play it, even so it was alone part of a small solo that sent us to Illusion Tour solos, beginning soon after, Mr. Brownstone making everybody to be delirious. "Slither " yes unhappily that great night was even reaching the end, I was still in ecstasy state, it seemed that had taken an a shower with clothes, I was transpiring until the soul.

The show of São Paulo was formidable, but they definitively were big in Rio de Janeiro. And me!? well, I'm a motherfucker lucky for witnessing the two great shows in my country.

Excuse my terrible English, I wait that is possible they understand the emotion that went those two shows to me and for the Brazilian fans.

Thanks to Daniel: Slash is the best!!! I loved the show! Thanks Velvet Revolver and good luck to the band! Guns and Roses! Velvet Revolver! Stone Temple Pilots! Good music!
