From Schmidty:


>Hi Linda...I haven't written in a long time and thought I would tonight. I
saw 
>Velvet Revolver on Friday in Seattle, WA. Fantastic Show!!! I had bad seats 
>(paid a scalper $60 bucks) but the show was still impressive. Next time they 
>come around I am going to get better seats. I have been a Slash fan since
the 
>beginning of Guns and I honestly feel that Slash has found his 'new' group! 
>He and the rest of these guys mesh extremely well. Slash is definitely the 
>draw in this band but so is Scott and Duff! When Slash walked out on stage 
>after a song he was cheered so loudly you would have thought the building
was 
>going to crumble! Scott was amazing for a lead singer and I really don't
miss 
>Axl. Slash played pretty well. He did mess up the solo to 'Used To Love Her' 
>by messing up the volume but it didn't matter and probably added some 
>uniqueness and originality to the show. He looked great! One other thing
that 
>soured was they only did one encore and didn't play 'Paradise City' which 
>really would have capped the night. I was looking forward to 'Paradise
City'. 
>But the show was still amazing and I hope they visit Seattle with again,
only 
>in a bigger venue. Thanks for the Slash info and staying loyal to a true 
>legend of rock guitar!
