Number 17
Velvet Revolver
"Contraband"
Released: June 8th 2004
Key Tracks: "Do It For the Kids" / "Fall to Pieces" / "Slither"
Another supergroup, another top class album. Members of Guns N Roses unite with Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots to create full frontal hard rock, blaring guitar solos, and great all round tunes.
From the hard rocking - "Do It For The Kids", "Slither" et al - to the moving balladry of "Fall to Pieces" and "You Got No Right", the band showed their range throughout the fifty-seven minute running time, while Slash got to do what Slash does best. Shred out solos.
One more album followed before the inevitable fall out. Currently seeking a new singer, Velvet Revolver nevertheless leave us with the seventeenth best album of the last decade.
