VELVET REVOLVER FIRE OFF NEW TRACKS – SORT OF

Footage of Velvet Revolver performing two new songs in Chile this past weekend have popped up on the net. Below: “She Builds Quick Machines.”

After the jump: a higher quality version of the song we posted last week, “Let it Roll.”

Honestly, I wanna like these songs so much more than I do… but they just sound generic to me, like Slash and Duff just don’t have any more classic riffs in ’em or something. And Weiland’s voice? Isn’t, I dunno, a little flat?

My optimism for this album is quickly deteriorating. Ah, well. At least Slash’s guitar solos will never let us down…
