I went out to boston yesterday to see velvet revolver play and was a bit dissapointed. I paid 70 bucks for the ticket and they dont hit the stage til almost 10pm, and left it at about 11:15.

They put on a good show but what the hells up with such a short show, bands keep charging more and more and playing less and less

    Thats less than Pearl Jam's usual first set

    I guess we are spoiled by Pearl Jam

    Its too much to ask these days to get value for our money

    They have a second album coming out soon, no excuse. They've always done short shows, usually 90 minutes tops.

    I know, it's a shame....but I'm still not surprised.

    I've heard the first single of the album...sounds more STP than GnR, which I guess is a good thing.

    I saw VR in Seattle a few years ago and they played for less than an hour. Save your money and go see Axl. He may go on at Midnight but at least you'll get a 2 1/2 hour set of good music.

    I just saw Kings of Leon and that was about 5 minutes longer than their set. :(

    But then I only paid 1/3rd of the price for a ticket and definitely saw a much better band :)

    I saw them in Toronto on this week..and they were awesome...played for 1.5 hours...played alot of old and new stuff, STP Vasoline, GNR Used to Love her, Pink Floyd Wish you were here and. Great show and tickets were only $45Cdn. I find that very reasonable for an intimate show. id rather pay that then go see RHCP for 100 and they still only play for 1.5 hours...

    Someone please tell me how anyone can take these tools serious.

    It is like the casting dorector for a crappy after school special dressed them; "OK, I think we should go with the 'bad ass' image, you sir, rip off the sleeves of your flanel and put on these pleather pants. And you with the needle in your arm, wear this denim suit but show me a little navel and alot of camel toe."
