Everything you've heard about Velvet
Revolver is true. This is the band that
brings together three former members of
one of rock's greatest groups Guns N'
Roses - Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and
drummer Matt Sorum - together with one
of rock's most charismatic frontmen
Scott Weiland, formerly of Stone Temple
Pilots, and guitarist Dave Kushner,
ex-Wasted Youth, Electric Love Hogs and
Dave Navarro's band, among others.

While Velvet Revolver inevitably offers a
few echoes of its members' illustrious
pasts, their sound is defiantly
forward-looking and truly fresh in all
senses of that word. "Our music is very
aggressive," says Duff. "There's always
that 'Fuck you' element to it. Really
that's all we know how to do. We can't
play nice or play radio. Slash, Matt
and I were always that way in Guns, and
Scott and Dave are very like-minded. To
me, this is the first dangerous band
that's come around in a while - truly
dangerous. People are going to say,
'Oh a supergroup. These guys have
everything.' And I can understand that,
but we're not coming at this that way. We
really hope to bring some chaos back
into the whole world of rock."

Contraband is a rock & roll song cycle
with an eclectic streak and a sonic
nerviness. It's a rock-hard headphones
classic for a new generation,
reflecting the players' influences from
The Beatles to Refused, and for obvious
reasons a little Guns N' Roses and Stone
Temple Pilots too.

But ultimately, Velvet Revolver isn't
about firing at the past. It's about
what these five men can do together in
the future. "You know all the
possibilities are there," says Slash.
"And we don't want to miss them this
