I saw them twice. They were a supergroup of the bands that I grew up with in the 90s.
I love them playing easy and brownstone.
RIP Scott.

When the original GNR went their own way it left such a gap for me in hard rock. Velvet Revolver filled that gap. Thanks and RIP Scott

Velvet Revolver sounded more like the wild and aggressive Guns of the 80s than the Guns of today. Fucking awesome badass band!! Duff's bass is fucking great

I can't believe how long ago Velvet Revolver came out, it seems like yesterday I was buying their first CD.

So glad I got to see them live. Scott Weiland was an amazing frontman. RIP

[trevormarcray]

What a great band for the short time they were together!

[yarahejazi]

By far the best live version of this amazing song. RIP Scott!

[ChannelForty]

Been awhile, I forgot just how freaking incredible this band was! Probably the best of all the superbands, they were just such a powerful group that wrote classic songs! Amazing band!

[danielmelo]

"Absolutely extraordinary". RIP Scott Weiland.

What a frontman Scott was. Saw him 3 times, STP once and VR twice. Always on 11, thats one more than 10.

Seeing this gig on TV changed my life. I went and bought the CD from ASDA the same week.

That group of musicians with Scott, one of the greatest of all time, were truly spectacular.

[monyavanderburg-hall]

I have watched this so many times....I don't think you realize he damned good this really is....Oh man. ❤

[stellamorris]

I love this live on Jules Holland and I'm still watching it in 2024. Layne what a voice! When he starts singing wow! I scream I!

[rustysilk]

They were the REAL DEAL STRAIGHT FOR YOUR THROAT ROCK AND ROLL THE BRUTAL WAY .SCOTT WE MISS YA.

I was 14, sick off from school with chickenpox playing doom 3, got too scared and turned on the tv and I saw this playing. Changed my life forever!

[lloydmartin]

I’m a huge Velvet Revolver, STP and G n R fan but that intro was totally Jane’s Addiction

[ryansharp]

Every time i see scott, layne, shannon, kurt, amy, jeff, etc... i get so fucking sad. I hope, wherever they are, theyre able to see just how appreciated they are. If i could say anything to them, I'd just say "thank you for all you gave us. Sorry you had to go so soon. Although your physical body might be gone, the music you created will never die. Long live rock n roll."

[HumanBeanbag]

The band is so awesome and the crowd is so dead...

Had the pleasure of seeing AFI at Not so acoustic Christmas show. I'm 62 and my Son turned me on to this great band. I myself love listening to different styles of music with great hooks.
