From Gustav:

I just have to say:
Velvet Revolver Rules.
The Velvet Revolver definitely ruled over the Øya festival at Friday the 
13.08.04.
We (some friends and me) came to the venue aprox 18.00 at friday 
afternoon. Alredy at that time 
It was a huge Slash / Velvet Revolver expectation over the festival 
area.
All people that I spoked to was just waiting for this event. Nothing 
else matterd. 
Evan the watchmen, and other employees at the festival where 
enthusiastic to 
the Velvet Revolver appearance.
The warm up at the "Enga" stage was done by two Norwegian bands. The 
Savoy, and Gluecifer.
At 21.30 Norwegian time, we finaly got what we came for. The Velvet 
Revolver entered the stage 
and all the fans got value for their money. We had taken position aprox 
5 meters from the stage, 
and naturally the crowd was moving a bit.
It`s not to hide. The Velvet Revolver are quite in another divisjon than 
any other band I have ever heard. 
They gave us cool tough, high volume rock music, and thank`s for that.
Mr Weiland did, in my opinion a wery good job, he had a wery activ style 
at the stage. With this style he was really 
engaging the spectators. A huge number of the audience was dancing, and 
a lot more of the them 
was singing along with him. 
The mood was high, and the band gave a lot more than I had hoped for. 
Will they be back next year?? 
Regards to them all.
Gustav
