....and sounds great! Who would have thought that Stone Temple Pilots, one of the grunge bands that seemingly destroyed hairmetal (though not as much as Nirvana) would split and Scott Weiland, STP singer would join with Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagen, drummer Matt Sorum and The Cult rhythem guitarist Dave Cushner? I never thought it would happen but it did, and now I'm happy. 'Slither' is probably the greatest song since 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and although it wasn't enough to save rock n' roll like SLTS it still helped it even though most of it still sucks. Velvet Revolver is like heavy metal meets grunge meets hairmetal and although the three really wouldn't combine very well it still does to make some of the best songs since the early ninties. Other great songs on this album include 'Sucker Train Blues', 'Big Machine', 'Fall to Pieces', 'Headspace', 'Superhuman', 'Set Me Free' and obviously 'Slither'. The reason why I gave this four stars though is because of 'Dirty Little Thing' since that really destroyed the latter part of the album. This really deserves 4.5 stars but Amazon won't let me do that so I guess I'll see ya.
