It turns out that Velvet Revolver performed not one Guns N' Roses cover (as stated in my less-than-kind review here) at its concert on Thursday at Smirnoff Music Center, but three. I mentioned "Patience"; the band threw out "Mr. Brownstone" and "It's So Easy" as well after I'd left at the end of VR's 2004 hit "Fall to Pieces" to file my review on deadline. I ran with that because Slash told me on Wednesday that the band "only had room to fit in" two covers by Stone Temple Pilots (lead singer Scott Weiland's former charge) and one by GnR in its set. What he apparently meant was that VR has added those to the covers already in its song plan. My bad for not clarifying that with Slash and taking that as gospel in my review. It's not my bad for not being enthusiastic about the show. I've seen VR four times live, including its 2005 Ozzfest turn at Smirnoff, which very nearly stole that festival's stage. As I told a reader earlier: "I won't give a band credit in print when it doesn't return with near the same energy or flow, especially on its own headlining tour and with better original songs in its pocket." |
