WOW! what a show!...had 2nd row seats and had an amazing time. For anyone who doubted William Duvall singing for AIC put those doubts to rest because this dude did great last night....sings really well and didn't look out of place.

Velvet Revolver put on a great show as well. Weiland gets shit talked a lot on here and other message boards but I can't figure out why because he is still an amazing front man.....very entertaining and it was just so cool to see rock n roll legends so up close. Played some GnR songs and STP songs and also a cool cover of Wish You Were Here.

Anybody else at the show yesterday? What did you all think?

    haven't been able to get feedback on this..

    completely agree that duvall sounds great. you will not be able to tell the difference.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    I saw them last October. He sounds enough like Layne to get the job done. but at the show I went to, it seemed like his mic was lower in the mix than Jerry's, so you ended up hearing more of Jerry than Duvall. I don't know if that was on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.

    I was there last night as well..Scott is definetly one of the great rock and roll frontmen. I am waiting for the day that STP reunites...the biggest cheers were for the STP songs, Interstate Love song, Vasoline and Sex Type Thing...

    AS for AIC, I saw them at Kool Haus earlier in the year and William Duval fits the roll perfectly. They sound awesome together, and yes he does sound similar to Layne.

    Check out the song Murder Scene, listen to all of it, it's got a wicked chorus. He has those big soaring notes absolutely nailed.

    Well put it this way...he doesn't TRY to sound like Layne imo...of course some songs you just can't help it when trying to hit a note, but Duvall certainly has his own style and delivery.


    Yeah mikesbri...Weiland is one of the best frontmen of our era i think...he just defines a rock n roll star!

    Did VR play a lot off of the new album? Mixed? What GNR songs did they do?

    I'll try to find a setlist but VR played a good mix of old and new songs plus GNR and STP....ummm off the top of my head some GnR songs they did....

    Sounds cool.........yes, Scott is a great frontman and an excellent singer as well. STP opened with a cover of "Wish You Were Here" when I saw them on their last tour.

    It´s so unserious when a band consisting of two older bands (like audioslave and Velvet revolver) start playing songs from their older merrits. Have some decentcy for heavens sake....you´re not a jam band, are you?

    Hmmm? What does being a jam band have to do with anything?

    Besides which, if I go to see Slash or Jerry Cantrell, I damn sure want to hear stuff from GnR or AiC. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: songs shouldn't die with the band.

    Come on....are you joking?

    Would you be pissed if Robert Plant did a Zeppelin tune?

    Plus, let's be honest here. VR would get booed off the stage if they didn't pepper in a little GNR and STP.

    I'd rather hear Mr. Brownstone than any Velvet Revolver or STP song any day. For that matter, I'd take Mr. Brownstone over any GNR tune as well.

    whats the difference of Pearl Jam playing a Bob Dylan or Neil Young song? I dont get it.

    Wow. Alice In Chains fucking ROCKED. They blew VR out of the water. Maybe because thats the 4th I saw VR so I knew what I was in for. I got to shake Duvall's hand which was cool. While VR was playing he was standing at the side near the 100's. Well he was standing right below me, so I went over to him, and I told him he fucking rocks and shook his hand.

    Yes. I'm gonna try and catch this tour and I definitely would like them to continue playing a few STP or GNR tunes in between their own stuff

    Jam bands play music other bands have made....like velvet revolver, like audioslave....VR is not STP, nor is it GnR...it´s a new band with a new name with some new tunes on some new cds....so why they have to play music from old times must be because the people who listen to VR want to hear these old bands instead of VR....that´s unserious to be like a jukebox pleasing the crowd instead of having some integrity and believing in the new songs the new band has made....totaly jam bandish. Sure if Slash played a solo gig, it would be okay for me to hear some GnR tunes, because he would be performing under his own name and not in a new band....just like it would be ok for Jerry Cantrell to put in an AIC track. But when a new band emerges like VR did with all the hype and so on, I don´t wanna hear a live jukebox playing a nostalgic rifforama

    But when VR is more parts Guns n' Roses than GnR is right now, why the hell shouldn't they play their old songs, and some old STP songs? Nothing wrong with acknowledging your past - it's not like they don't play VR songs as well. If I was Slash or Duff, I'd be damn proud of songs like Mr. Brownstone and It's So Easy - why should he stop playing them just cos his old singer was an ass?

    Axl should go under his own name, but he certainly is in it for the money and fame so there you go. Calling it guns n roses is a joke, imo

    What were the set times? I see there is a band before AIC, just wondering what time they AIC hits the stage and how long they play for.

    The opening band came on right at 7 and played for 20 minutes...AIC played for about an hour....Velvet Revolver for about 90 minutes.
