Velvet Revolver, unless you've been under a stone, is a rocking good blend of two groups that dominated in their heyday(Gn'R and STP), and a third group(Infectious Grooves) that made their mark, but never obtained as much major commercial success as the other two. I was happy to see Slash, Duff, and Matt Sorum together on an album again.  Dave Kushner, of Infectious Grooves fame, was also good to see .  I wasn't so sure about Scott Weiland, since I was never a huge STP fan.
