Thanks to Joe: First time I've seen VR live(missed them when they played Belfast in 2005).I was on holiday in Toronto luckily enought when they played .And they impressed,so much so that I will be travelling down to Dublin in March 08 to get a second helping.AIC were great as well.
Thanks to Joe: MOST AMAZING LINE UP OF BANDS EVER!!! AWESOME!!! Congratulations to the new Alice in Chains Singer, blew everyone away, and to VELVET REVOLVER, Slash amazing, fingers like a bumble bee, great show, I look forward to seeing them again real soon, cheers!
Thanks to Andrew: The show was absolutely golden. Alice in Chains were quite impressive and Velvet Revolver brought the house down. Simply amazing work by Slash, Scotty, and all the rest. Pure rock & roll from start to finish.
Thanks to June: The show was awesome. Not only was the music great but the velvet guys were sexy hot on stage ... Im still smiling.
AIC was a beautiful opener and a nice bonus to a great show.
Thanks to Tyler : Wow first off alice in chains they were great.Then velvet hit the stage wich was awsome they played great and really got the crowd into it and they played tons of tunes, not to mention patience, this was my 3rd VR show and im definently up for more as they all had great energy, Scott was awsome, they all were and slash was really into it with the gnr solos. Definently the best VR concert i have been to. They played for like 2 hours wich was a pleasent surprise from the usuall just over an hour set.
Thanks to Chris: the velvet revolver show was the most surreal concert i have ever been to. scott's vocals were awesome, slash is...well slash so perfection was in every song and dave, duff and matt were all awesome. basically velvet revolver were awesome. there set list was unreal as they played for 2 hrs with hits like "let it roll", "fall to pieces" and the extended "slither". hearing STP and GNR was also amazing. anyways out of 10 this show was a 20 and i can hardly wait till they come back to canada. VR ROCKS!!!
Thanks to Alex: Best show i have ever seen, everyone was in good spirits, aic was the perfect opener.
Thanks to JB: This was my 9th time seeing VR live and they get better and better. This was by far the best set I've seen yet! The additions of the VR tunes as well as Patience and Interstate Love Song (both personal favorites) were a very welcomed change!
With the new material came new life to the band. Duff and Matt were tight the entire night. Dave did his thing and had his time to shine as well. I have no idea where Scott gets his energy from but he was dancing all over the stage for the entire show! As for Slash, what can you say about the man. Tonight was not his best night (missed a couple of parts in a tune or two) but his worst night is better than most peoples nest nights!
All in all, the band sounded great and seemed to have a great time playing together. For me the highlight of the night was when they brought out the bar stools and a little kit for Matt to play and rocked out The Last Fight, Interstate Love Song and Patience. This was one of the best performances I've seen from them and will definitely check 'em out again!
Thanks to RIP: velvet show in Toronto was intense...missed kill hannah though i cant say i was a fan of there studio work...alice in chains was great...they sounded amazing and it was really good to hear those songs live...their set was alittle short but rocked nonetheless. On to velvet who only took about half an hour to get on stage after alice which was nice considering past wait times...opened with let it roll and the place when nuts...they sounded great and clear...scott sang perfectly and the moajority of the crowd would respond to him and he acknowledged that...which was nice seeing as some shows infront of dead crowds doesnt help out. daves guitar was in perfect balance with slash and both of them ripped through the set and played flawlessly...this show was the best of the 4 ive seen for their guitar sounds....it was nice to see dave play some lead work like the solo in vasoline and slash was killer....what can be said about that man...hes truly amazing and it was nice he got a small solo spot in before set me free....duff was rocking the bass hardcore and moved around the stage more then ive seen before...also nice to see him whip out the acoustic for patience...ive never seen him play guitar live...reminded me of the music video from way back....matt's drumming was tight and the addition of the smaller kit up front on the stage for last fight, interstate love song and patience was pretty cool. the set was amazing....as for the standard contraband songs they played half of libertad...they played the same songs as back in may at the kool haus but knowing the sogns better with the album being out helped appreciate them more...gravedancer was really great to hear live and a nice surprise in the set....their covers were amazing...interstate love song....amazing is all i can say...it was the song that turned me on to STP when i was a kid and hearing it live for the first time was well worth it...patience was great too...scott sang it real well and the other STP and GNR covers sounded great and were nice to hear again....all in all the concert was great...nothing bad to say about it...every time i see the guys i get more impressed. the show was killer and one more trip around the area would be great...thanks VR...rock n' fuckin' roll
Thanks to Roger: Sick Show, both bands were great, slash was sick, did interstate, sex type thing, vasoline, wish you were here, is was great, sercuity was tight, n i sat beside a nerd. But great show!
