Hm... Velvet Revolver is heading a different direction than G&R was... so it is kind of an unfair comparison. I love G&R... but I hate Axl. I mean... I'm from Lafayette, IN, Axls hometown and I STILL don't like him. So I could care less how the album is. It won't be anything like the old G&R. I also think it will sell more records than VR's album... but people will buy it out of hype and curiosity not becuase it's good. VR will be a better band in the end...
