VELVET REVOLVER: Live Performance Video Of New Song 'Let It Roll' Posted Online

April 17, 2007

A video clip of VELVET REVOLVER performing the new song "Let It Roll" this past Sunday night (April 15) at the Estadio Pepsi Music in Buenos Aires, Argentina has been posted at YouTube.

VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash recently stated that he wants VR to stop playing songs by GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS — even though he says those bands should reunite. The guitarist recently sat down with the Brazilian branch of MTV, and while he said nobody was really thinking about any reunions, he added, "I'm not saying never. You know, I was saying it would be a good idea to get, just for a couple of shows, to get the original STP and the original GUNS N' ROSES just to do a couple of shows for the fun of it."

He didn't say when these theoretical dates might happen, but it's worth noting that VELVET REVOLVER has a U.S. tour that starts May 4, while GUNS N' ROSES continues their world tour on April 27 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

As previously reported, Slash also told the Chilean magazine Rock & Pop that VELVET REVOLVER will drop the GNR and STP songs from their setlist later this year. He said the band will still play that material on their current run of South American shows, because VELVET REVOLVER has never played South America before, but the plan is to drop the older music as they incorporate new material from their upcoming "Libertad" album into the live show.

"Libertad", VELVET REVOLVER's second album, has had its release pushed back from early June to later that month. The album's tentative first single is called "She Builds Quick Machines".

Bassist Duff McKagan said in a recent interview with Kerrang! magazine that the group had a hard time starting work on "Libertad" after a vacation of several months. He explained, "It was really, really tough getting us back together into a place where our headspace was right to be able to start a new record. We were all pretty fragmented... It took us a while to get back to where we were feeling good, and we finally got that back last July and August."
