Yeah maybe and times do change etc. I don't see what the advantage would be with Axl bringing them back (if he could) unless we're talking about song writing like some of the old classics.

Live show wise it makes no difference, in fact they're probably better now. Will be a good show yet again no doubt as they just have so many songs and Axl is always up for it. End of the day Axl is headling that after putting an album out and doing no promo work for it at all, Velvet are doing fuck all. I don't recall them headlining any big shows or did they? I bet if Axl was game he could headline the lot.
