I will go out and say that anybody that does not like what this CD does needs to play it louder and wake the fuck up. Keep dreaming for another STP record everyone. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen and if it does, it won't be for years and years. I have a feeling after this VR tour and after they support this in the summer, Scott will commence work on his 2nd solo CD. STP is long gone IMO. If Scott can continue to keep himself out of trouble, I have a good feeling VR is the real deal and will be around for at least a couple more CD's.
No.
You kind of HAVE to agree Jessie; the reports are already saying that they didnt ship enough units of the album, and re-orders are pushing the sales well into 200,000 sold in the first week and debuting at #1.
As long as Scott stays healthy, this band will be the staple for a while to come I would imagine.
Everyone I have spoken too, has also said this band is 10 times better live than STP was...now I would like to judge that one myself...but when I have people telling me that, who actually hated STP AND GNR as well as people who were crazed STP fans; I have to say that I am leaning towards believing them.
Want to know what I think?
I think Scott is going to find himself back on drugs in a jiffie. Then, I think he's going to get completely full of himself and record another solo album. And I think it will be amazing and horribly underrated, just like last time.
He's been talking about another solo disc since before SLDD. There WILL be one eventually.
Then, maybe after the record fails miserably, he will agree to record another VR album.
People don't change.
As far as this band being 10 times better than STP live - I don't need to see them to know that it's a lie. Nothing can compare to the energy, the magic, and the force that STP live had. Not even Slash.
