Velvet Revolver * LIBERTAD * Music Poster 2' x 3' NEW 2007 > Large Wall Size. For the July 3rd 2007 RCA Records Release of Velvet Revolver's new Album * Libertad * featuring a beautiful illustration graphic from the album's cover, a stylized 10 pesos coin from Chile produced from 1976 to 1991. The coin is an allegory to the Coup d'etat in Chile in 1973. Libertad is the title of this, Velvet Revolver's second album. The album was released in the US on July 3, 2007. The name translates to "liberty" or "freedom" in Spanish. When Velvet Revolver formed a few years ago and released "Contraband," detractors immediately started betting the band would soon implode in a drug-fueled disaster. The ride hasn't been without bumps, but the boys have so far proved the nay-sayers wrong and have just released their sophomore effort, "Libertad." "We toured for two years and got really close in the making of this album," singer Scott Weiland said."The feel, the energy of Libertad is about the eternal struggle for freedom - personal and social freedoms".Velvet Revolver originally announced their plans for a second album in late 2005, when lead singer Scott Weiland said that the band was planning on recording a concept album. Although it is not certain how concrete the concept album plans were , they were eventually scrapped and the band began to work with famed producer Rick Rubin. However, the bandmembers felt that Rubin was not a good fit for the band and thus parted ways with him. In December 2006, Velvet Revolver began working with producer Brendan O'Brien, who had previously produced albums for Stone Temple Pilots, Weiland's former band. As Scott Weiland commented in Kerrang! magazine, "We were really excited about six months ago, when we first began writing. Then we really kind of flat-lined for a while, We didn't know which way we were going. Once Brendan (O'Brien) came on board, it was kind of like a shot in the arm. It was a new energy." Recording began on December 11 and continued through December, January, and February. The process was documented by a series of video blogs, or "Vlogs", available on the band's website. On June 26, 2007, Velvet Revolver released a sneak peek of Libertad in its entirety.The album debuted at number five on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 92,000 copies in its first week, as of August 1, it has sold 160,000. The album is certified Gold in New Zealand.Velvet Revolver released a special version of Libertad, which includes a video documentary on the making of Libertad, and a CD/DVD deluxe edition, which includes a 30-minute, special edition DVD that documented the band's journey across South America. To promote the album, Velvet Revolver embarked on a South American tour with Aerosmith. The final performance saw 70,000 fans in attendance. Shortly thereafter, VR embarked on a North American club tour, revealing several new songs. The band also played major music festivals such as the Download Festival. In August 2007, they will begin a North American arena tour with Alice in Chains, and later tour Europe and Asia.Two new Velvet Revolver songs are set to be included in the video game Guitar Hero III. Slash and Matt Sorum stated in a recent interview that one of these songs will be "She Builds Quick Machines", and the other will likely be either "Let It Roll" or "Get Out The Door."
