“Velvet Revolver was born at a time when there just wasn\u2019t much rock n\u2019 roll happening out in the world. To the point, that it was even being bandied about here and there, that \u201crock n roll is dead!\u201d. We thought otherwise.<\/strong>\u201d Duff McKagan<\/p>\n\n\n

Down the long and convoluted road of rock history, the term \u2018supergroup<\/strong>\u2019 has been used to describe collaborations put together by musicians already renowned for having established themselves with other popular bands. Many of these projects tend to be short lived and rarely capture the collective or individual greatness that these musicians achieved in prior bands. However, every so often, one of these so-called \u2018supergroups\u2019 actually delivers on the theoretical sum of its parts and writes, records, and performs music that stands up on its own merits and strengths and cements its place in the hearts and minds of rock fans across the world.\u00a0

Ladies and Gentlemen, one such band was\u00a0Velvet Revolver.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
