Re: VR dropped by MCA?
I thought Libertad was better than Contraband, it just lacked hit singles. Contraband had 2 maybe 3 on it, Libertad had none (1 if you include Messages) but I thought overall was a better album track for track. Still a dissapointment though.
Re: VR dropped by MCA?
I like Libertad more than Contraband as well. Listening to Libertad with headphones completely changed my opinion on the album. The mix is terrible and I think if the guitar had been more in the forefront, it would change a lot of people's perception of the album. It's sad that it took playing Messages on GH3 for me to realize how much was going on in that song that you can't hear that well through speakers.

Re: VR dropped by MCA?
I don't like VR in general. I tolerate Contraband but I haven't intentionally listened to VR since Libertad came out and I hated it. Only American Man and Messages were decent enough to make an album cut.
But whatever, if they were dropped, I'm glad. I'd like to see Slash do his solo record, and the rest of these guys should find heir own space, with Loaded, or some other band. And if the rumors of Royston Langdon are true (EW reported that rumor in the last issue, if no one saw) then another lousy album is on its way.
Re: VR dropped by MCA?
I don't get why they would "drop" them?? Doesn't really make business sense, unless they feel (if it's true) Royston Langdon sung album will just be useless & not worth the however much it costs them to produce the album & put it out there.
While I don't believe it's true, on the other hand I wouldn't be very shocked either.
Re: VR dropped by MCA?
Libertad was a solid album. If anyone but VR released that, then there would be no bitching.
What changed your opinion Saikin? I seem to remember you raving about it and saying how it was mostly Scott's album.
Completly forgettable. I hardly remember it and haven't had the urge to listen to it since it first came out.

Re: VR dropped by MCA?
Libertad isn't on par with some of Slash's best playing, ala It's Five O'Cock somewhere...but there's still some good music on it. She Mine and Get out the Door are pretty catchy and fun to have up real loud...and Let it Roll is one of the best songs i've heard in ages...just a simple fun song!
