VELVET REVOLVER: 'Contraband' Certified Double-Platinum
- July 19, 2005
|
|
|
VELVET REVOLVER's "Contraband" has been certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments in excess of two million copies in the United States, according to the Associated Press (the album has shifted 1,775,000 units in the U.S. to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan).
VELVET REVOLVER have contributed a brand-new song, "Come On, Come In", to the "Fantastic Four" soundtrack album, out now on Wind-Up Records. The track was recorded in Raleigh and Cleveland in May during the band's U.S. headlining "Electric Wonderland Show" arena tour. VELVET REVOLVER co-produced the song along with Doug Grean and Nick Raskulinecz. The band felt that the new song they wrote lent itself perfectly to the film.
For the "Come On, Come In" video, VELVET REVOLVER joined forces with director Wayne Isham in Los Angeles before the band launched their European tour. Inspired by the adrenaline-driven visuals and conceptual theme of the "Fantastic Four" movie, the video combines the raw energy of a VELVET REVOLVER performance, with graphic transitions between movie footage and Dali-esque individualized abstract portraits of each band member.

There so generic and average that they are sickening,If they didn't have the Guns N Roses moniker around them no one would care.I predict Axls cd will blow away anything VR ever does.

I loved all the GNR stuff, but I can not get into VR, it comes across as generic to me. I think they are missing that punk attitude, not music, but attitude. I think STP destroys VR and is not even in the same Galaxy as GNR.

scott is pretty boring. The only reason I checked out VR at all was because Slash was in it. Diappointment. I own the album and you know what? I've never got past like the third song. I just can't I find it so monotonious and scott is a boring singer he sounds like alternative rock and velvet revolver are suppossed to be heavier stuff. Yeha new audioslave isn't very good from what I heard but man they need a new singer that can be exciting and suits the music.

Oh and why the hell does it always say how much "units" it sold in the U.S. it isn't like the rest of the world doesn't listen to music. The funny thing is that most of the albums were sold in the U.S. proving that MTV OWNS U.S.A.

VR is good and I think it cool that they are double Platinum but I still think that if/when the new GNR FINALLY comes out it will be better
