Velvet Revolver (abbreviated to VR) is a Grammy Award-winning hard rock supergroup consisting of Slash (guitarist), Duff McKagan (bassist, backing vocals), Matt Sorum (drums) of Guns N' Roses, Scott Weiland (lead vocals) of Stone Temple Pilots and Dave Kushner (guitarist) of Wasted Youth. Formed in 2000 and following the breakup of Stone Temple Pilots in 2003, the band achieved success with their debut album Contraband and released their second album Libertad in 2007.

Critics initially described Velvet Revolver as a mere combination of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns N' Roses, and have criticized the band for a "disconnection" between Weiland and the rest of the band. However, the band went with a different approach for their second album Libertad, and received some acclaim. They won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
