Velvet Revolver Songs Ranked

Velvet Revolver was an American hard rock supergroup consisting of Guns N’ Roses members Slash (lead guitar), Duff McKagan (bass, backing vocals), and Matt Sorum (drums, backing vocals), alongside Dave Kushner (rhythm guitar) formerly of punk band Wasted Youth and Scott Weiland formerly of Stone Temple Pilots. Weiland left the band to rejoin Stone Temple Pilots in 2008. Although Velvet Revolver worked on new material and auditioned new singers following Scott Weiland’s departure, the band has not released any new material and only performed publicly once since 2008, when they reunited with Weiland for a one-off reunion show on January 12, 2012, at a benefit concert. This proved to be their last performance together before Weiland’s death on December 3, 2015. Slash and McKagan have since rejoined Guns N’ Roses. Here are all Velvet Revolver songs ranked.

10. Let It Roll (Libertad, 2007)

“The album opens powerful, with “Let It Roll” which has this really fast paced classic rock n roll sound to it. The first thing I notice is that Weiland no longer has his southern accent which I loved so much.”

9. Just Sixteen (Libertad, 2007)

“Just Sixteen” is pure ear-candy and Weiland is at his best singing in a retro style that is reminiscent of the 70’s. It is almost as if Velvet Revolver has drawn from their inner demons, and past ghosts to produce an album with great riffs, delicious lyrics, and added their own benchmark style.”

8. Headspace (Contraband, 2004)

“Headspace riff has kicked in, I am immediately aware that I’m hearing kickass rock music again. This song is very good, with a really catchy chorus and a very interesting melody. A good way to forget the aforementioned disaster.”

7. Spectacle (Contraband, 2004)

“Being the song that it is, you kind of get the feeling it drags on for too long – it would be better off without the last minute or so. Good enough though to make the transition into another truly underrated song, Spectacle. That song has a remarkable energy, but is often overshadowed by the song that follows it, the second single, Fall To Pieces.”

6. She Builds Quick Machines (Libertad, 2007)

“This ain’t bad. Scott Weiland is a good pop rock singer and he’s good here. There is a good, classic Slash solo at the end of one of the songs I forgot to note but that is worth it’s weight in gold. There’s a a glam feel to many of the songs like She builds quick machines but not full on T-rex.”

5. Dirty Little Thing (Contraband, 2004)

“Seriously, I like this song, but it is way too similar to Sucker Train Blues (yet inferior). Other than that, it gets no complaint from me.”

4. The Last Fight (Libertad, 2007)

“This is the first real “slow” song on the album, and it serves as a good medium for Weiland’s vocals, though this song would have been better situated, I think, as a closer to the album.”

3. Set Me Free (Contraband, 2004)

“Set Me Free starts and this part of the record is really rocking. I remember why I first fell in love with VR: it was because they made the rock ‘n’ roll nobody did at the time Contraband was released. Well, nobody does it now still, which is the reason why I am enjoying so much listening to this record.”

2. Fall to Pieces (Contraband, 2004)

“Simple and melodic yet authentic. Good tune. I’m no Slash worshipper but his identifiable lead playing really adds a nice flavour to this. What did turn me onto rediscovering this was Weiland’s death, but even once the dust settled from that, I still enjoy this one.”

1. Slither (Contraband, 2004)

“Slither is next and its amazing intro is just the beginning of something great. A phenomenal song, with a great solo by the one and only Slash, combined with some great vocals by Weiland. A great choice for a first single, as it is a very good straight-forward rock track.”
