From Stefan: VR was in sweden/stockholm yesterday and OH MY GOD, this was the coolest gig i've EVER seen in my life! The live-performance was so amazing that i have not words to describe it! As an musician myself i study people on stage and what their doing that's so cool so i can learn and get better, I tried this yesterday but it was just TO MUCH for my head! Everything about this show was over the top, the lights, the sound(although scott was hard to hear in the first row :( ), the guys playing/singing, the audiens(spelling..), the vibe in the room, the show on stage, how they moved, guitar-solo, dressing, which songs in which order..! I've seen the big band metallica (which are knowned to be a "LIVE-BAND") live 2 times IRL and thousands in videos, but i never did see guns live but i've seen all the videos from gigs.. NOTHING compaired to the experience i had yesterday! I know that if you've seen something yourself IRL then some times you think it's much better just because you've seen it live... But i honestly don't think this is the way! I didn't think it was possible to perform as VELVET REVOLVER did yesterday! My 12 years(and im 20 now..) with guns as my favorite band has now a big competitioner with VR! The guns-guys was performing better now with VR then i've ever seen them with GNR, and scott is much cooler on stage then axl actually! :) although, i still like axl's cracked voice better(the voice he had 85' - 92').. Actually, the record contraband isn't giving a fair hearing compaired with how they are live! I've felt that contraband was a little bit "over-produced" with small things allover and just to fuckin' tight everywhere, the first thing on my wish-list is that VR will put out a LIVE-cd soon! :D THEY KICKED ASS! And btw, i got my VR-cd signed by slash, matt and dave.. :) And i want you to tell the readers on snakepit.org that if they have ANY doubts in scott, wait until you've seen him live.. :) Perfect match for the guys! / STEFAN
