Velvet Revolver Concert
Well, I have not been to many concerts in my time, but I did have the chance to attend a Velvet Revolver concert in late May with a couple of friends. It was an awesome event; one I will not forget! The other concerts I have been to have all been of the “Rock and Roll” genre and this concert was no exception. The nice thing about this concert was that it took me back to the days of Guns N’ Roses (which is where Velvet Revolvers roots come from) and remembering the music videos with Axl Rose in the spotlight singing songs such as “Paradise City,” “Mr. Brownstone” and “November Rain.”
When I was of the age when the band Guns N’ Roses was in the main stream, I really wasn’t at an age where I should be listening to such “devil worshiping” music as GN’R, but I listened to it anyways. My favorite two songs of all time for the band are “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain.” Ah, how those songs take me back (dumping them into my iTunes Playlist as I type this).
Overall, the concert was great! Scott Weiland played some tunes from his old band Stone Temple Pilots and some of the old school Guns N’ Roses stuff. If I had to do it all over again, I’d bring ten of my largest friends, kick the guys ass in front of me that was wearing the “Psycho Ward” button-up with the sleeves cut off and take his hot ass girlfriend. They weren’t really so much rednecks just as being dressed up “for the times.” All I can see is that I’m a sucker for a size 2/4 in skin tight jeans, a black tank top and long curly blonde hair.
