AOL Music has issued the following report from Steve Baltin:
VELVET REVOLVER are getting ready to head into the studio to ramp up work on their second album, drummer Matt Sorum tells AOL Music. "Hopefully, we will have a lot of the tracks done before Christmas and then come back in January and finish up," he says.
The band members had been dabbling in a lot of different directions on the songwriting, but Sorum says that with the help of producer Brendan O'Brien (BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, PEARL JAM), the record will have a more consistent sound.
"We had a lot of songs that kind of went away, and now we've really homed in on, like, 20 great songs," he says. "Now it's more a cohesive rock 'n' roll album. It's probably going to be more stripped-down than the last album."While Sorum says Velvet Revolver are still deciding which tunes to record, to be winnowed down to a final 12 for the album, there are a couple of songs he's already looking forward to working on.
"We've got a song called 'Queen For A Day' that's awesome," he says. "We have a great ballad called 'The Last Fight,'" which he describes as having a "Beatlesque vibe."
