Velveeta Revolver

Review Score: (2/10)
I was perfectly willing to blame Axl and Axl only for the overblown, overproduced, supremely theatrical last G'NR records but now I know that Axl wasn't the only one who was happy rummaging through Freddy Mercury and Meatloaf's toy chests.

It's painfully clear that Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Slash deserve as much ribbing as the cucumber stuffing prima donna because Velvet Revolver is bloated rock. It is the antithesis of good rock 'n roll. Instead of being stripped down and raw, it's flabby, excessive and lumbering.

If you like early G'N R, skip this release.
