RMFN Notes:

"This, in my opinion, is the best supergroup album of all time. Mixed with members of GnR and legendary STP vocalist Scott Weiland, Velvet Revolver crafted one of the best hard rock albums of the 21st century. There is a dangerous sound to this band, that quite frankly no other rock band could replicate. Obviously the band's dynamics were as volatile as their music, with this being only 1 of 2 albums they ever made before disbanding. Slash is on fire, Duff's basslines are infectious, and Scott Weiland puts on his best vocal performance BY FAR on Contraband. It's a must own." - Chris
