By Drew Carrano

Remember Velvet Revolver? The supergroup from the 2000s that featured members of Stone Temple Pilots (Scott Weiland) and Guns N’ Roses (Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum). They didn’t last very long – 6 years to be exact – but they achieved commercial success with hits like Fall To Pieces and Slither. Velvet Revolver only ended up playing only a couple shows in Connecticut and today we look back at their first show here.
