Should be pretty good, I hope. I thought their debut album was decent... it wasn't great, but it kept me occupied for a while at least. I'm hoping this album will feature more distinctive guitar work from Slash. Contraband had some pretty good tunes, and Scott Weiland sounded great, but Slash never really excelled in any part of it (no real "wow" moments). So hopefully Libertad will feature more intelligent and interesting music than Contraband while still maintaining that great hard-rock sound they have.

I think VR is far above Army of Anyone (which is absolutely killed by weak, annoying vocal hooks by the Filter guy) and not quite as good as Audioslave. Of course, Audioslave has 3 albums to go by, so it's kind of hard to compare.

    it's really sad but after hearing that new Axl song I'm intrested in the thought that one day Chinese Democracy might come out, that and hoping VR take the cue from Audioslave

    Hopefully Axl puts out Chinese Democracy on the same day. I'm sure Axl would like nothing more than to upstage his old bandmates.

    I love VR, thought Contraband was amazing, I really hope they play more UK dates other than Donnington though as I really didn't want to go this year.

    I think they will release Chinese Democracy on the same day, there is no better promotion then the battle between old & new Guns N' Roses.

    I think he meant new Guns n Roses as in Axl's band without Slash and co....

    I wasnt a huge fan of the first VR cd, but Slash has always been one of my fav guitarists so ill give the new one a spin.

    I'm looking forward to the second VR album and I did enjoy "Contraband". It was nothing earth-shattering, but certainly a very solid rock album. On the subject of Axl, I still doubt a record will actually surface.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    I think Army of Anyone's music is much better than VR. I agree, that RP is not a great singer, but the actual music on Army of Anyone's cd is in my opinion, much better. The Deleo brothers at this point just know how to right some awesome music.

    Contraband was as tired and stale as any album could ever be but, I've got a pretty good feeling about Libertad.

    Not sure Libertad is gonna kick anything's ass, especially when considering that Contraband was rather boring. I hope the album is better than the first, I really want to like Velvet Revolver but I was so dissapointed by them. Atleast I can still go see them in concert and enjoy the GNR and STP covers they do.

    I liked Contraband when it came out a lot, but it wore on me as time went on. Saw them live and all of the songs translated really well live. Slash and Scott put on a highly entertaining show and the STP covers were great. Never thought I'd have a chance to crowd surf to Crackerman, oh lucky me.

    I don't! Velvet Revolver is much better than Audioslave.

    They are closer to it than Axl's band of hired guns.
