[edit] New Album - 'Libertad'

I saw the new album being added to the article and I thought I'd look it up to cite a reference and found these sources:

( Davehard 12:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC) )

The album is expected to be released in November. I believe the release is Tuesday, November 7, 2006 or November 14, 2006.

Look for the new album the first or second week in November.

according to slash the new album 'Libertad' is to be realesd in may 2007 not november 2006


[edit] Dave Kushner

The previous edit showed Dave Kushner as being an ex-member of Suicidal Tendencies. While the All Music Guide shows that he has appeared on a Suicidal Tendencies record, it doesn't show him as a member of the band.[1] It shows that he was a member of Wasted Youth and Dave Navarro's band. The VH1 biography for Velvet Revolver[2] shows that he was also a member of the Electric Love Hogs. I have omitted any reference to his membership of Suicidal Tendencies until this can be substantiated.

[edit] Supergroup?

Supergroup? Arent articles supposed to be neutral? This just sounds like a suck up article.

No a supergroup is a group that is formed from members who are already famous and have already become known. Velvet Revolver are formed mainly by ex Guns N' Roses members so they are counted as a supergroup. ( Davehard 18:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC) )
Following Wikipedia's own definition of supergroup ("music groups comprising members of great proficiency who had already achieved fame or respect in other groups or as individual artists"), I'd say Velvet Revolver qualifies. I think it's difficult to argue that Guns 'N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots never achieved any notable fame or respect. BinaryTed 18:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

guns'n'roses got enough respect and fame (emojim)

[edit] Misinformation?

Under the main article heading "Contraband," it says:

"The band consequently declined an invitation to tour with KISS after learning that Poison would be a part of the bill, in an effort to distance themselves from being lumped in with bands from the 80's who had re-grouped at the time to make a buck; Velvet Revolver were out to make the statement that they were a new band. The members of Poison, naturally, were far from impressed"

It then gave a source. I checked the source and it says something like that, except it wasn't Velvet Revolver, but rather Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue didn't want to be lumped in with 80s bands.

Quote: "Nikki Sixx has a hard-on for Poison for some reason. I can't figure it out. I really don't. At one point he didn't want to be affiliated with the bands of the '80s."
