A New Release Date for Velvet Revolver

Libertad was originally to be launched in May, however the date has now been pushed to July 3.  The first single from the album, She Builds Quick Machines, is one of the four songs that the band has already performed in public.

The band’s bassist, Duff McKagan, told Billboard magazine that he’s happy with the song, saying, "It’s a great f*ckin’ rock song. It has a kick-ass guitar riff, a great chorus, a really big bridge and a great Slash solo."

"I think ‘Contraband’ was a great record," he says of Velvet Revolver’s 2004 debut. "It was the right one for us to make as our first record. But ‘Libertad’ really goes way beyond that musically. I don’t think any of us could have made a better record at this point in our careers."
