On paper it could have collapsed under its own egos. Instead it delivered a lean, hungry record with real songs at its core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlither became the calling card, a snarling riff and a sneering vocal that earned a Grammy, while Fall to Pieces showed a more vulnerable side, Weiland laying his struggles bare over a sweeping ballad. Sucker Train Blues kicks the door in at the start, and Dirty Little Thing swaggers with pure rock and roll attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlash's guitar tone is unmistakable throughout, and the rhythm section of McKagan and Sorum swings harder than most of their peers managed at the time. Weiland's voice, elastic and theatrical, ties it all together. Nothing here sounds like a side project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread across two discs with extra material alongside the original album, this edition offers a fresh look at a short-lived band whose debut still hits like a freight train, two decades on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453138182449,"sku":"196588970214","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Velvet_Revolver-Contraband_20th_Anniversary_2LP.jpg?v=1794228543","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/velvet-revolver-contraband-20th-anniversary-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
