i love velvet revolver. no matter how er, bad their lyrics may be. i'm not against them. yes, if you actually look at the lyrics for sucker train blues, it may seem rather anti christ.
"Brain and body melting while there's roaches multiplying
It's the alien infection it's the coming of Christ
All these sentimental halos and these consequential angels
When I'm runnin with the devil don't deliver the fight"
i chose to interpret the lyrics as human. i think it kinda rings true because we're all sinners and we've all run with the devil. (sounds kinda harsh duncha think?) though i'm not very keen on the comparison of an alien infection and the coming of Christ placed together in the same sentence, guess some people see Christ as something not glorious because they don't believe. but other than that song, it's kinda okay.
though i think alot of people don't approve of it because of the vulgur language and all the underlying sexual meaning. actually, what underlying sexual meaning? it's plain out there for you to hear. but i love it anyway.
no one should accuse me of being a hypocrite and a totally fake christian because i like bands like velvet revolver and guns n roses. because if you listen to them, they totally rock. and as long as you don't follow the lyrics to the point of obsession or use them for some kinda shit, they're okay.
but i doubt my mother will let me buy the album. i think she'll faint from all the f words. that's how many there are. i think almost every song in contraband has that word. hopefully she wouldn't pay attention. :P
