Libertad, Velvet Revolver's second studio album, came out on RCA in 2007, and it turned out to be their last. The title is Spanish for liberty or freedom, and there's a story behind it: Scott Weiland told Rolling Stone it was one of only three albums he ever wrote sober. Around him stood the supergroup that had made Contraband: the Guns N' Roses trio of Slash on lead guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and Matt Sorum on drums, plus Dave Kushner on rhythm guitar.
It's hard rock with the swagger intact and a little more room to breathe, Slash's leads snaking through Weiland's glammy sneer, with "She Builds Quick Machines" leading the charge and "The Last Fight" and "Get Out the Door" among the other standouts. They took it on the road with Alice in Chains, but in April 2008 Weiland was fired and went back to Stone Temple Pilots, and the band never made another record.
