En el turbulento territorio del rock a principios del siglo XXI, se configuró una alineación explosiva que resonaría con fuerza: Velvet Revolver. La banda se originó en 2002, en Los Ángeles, California, de la mano de músicos que ya eran leyendas por derecho propio.
La unión de estos talentos dio lugar a Velvet Revolver, cuyo sonido feroz y actitud sin restricciones evocaba al apogeo del rock de los 80 y 90, aun estando inmersos en un nuevo milenio.
El primer álbum de Velvet Revolver, Contraband, se lanzó en junio de 2004. El disco fue un éxito comercial inmediato, debutando en el número uno en la lista Billboard 200. Canciones como "Slither" y "Fall to Pieces" se volvieron himnos, llevando a la banda a la cima de las listas.

Prominent Men Song Lyrics
Prominent Men by Velvet Revolver Through all of the highways, the byways I've travelled
through all of the sidestreets and alleys of sin
Through all that's been heard nothing sinks quite as low
as the prominent statements of prominent men
Prominent men tell prominent stories
prominent men tell prominent lies
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
prominent men will tear out your eyes
The streets that have life with the cat's underbelly
aligned with their tracks of a thousand good-byes
A poor woman screams with the heat of disaster
as the prominent men sit and strengthen their ties
Oh, the prominent girls of the prominent people
make prominent dresses and prominent hair
Oh, their prominent wealth and their eyes blazed with shadow
the prominent horrors with the ghost millionaire
The shiny stained window now cracked at sunset
they shiny red dawn of the heart soon must fall
This simply occurred at the seat of the cauldron
those prominent men hadn't been there at all
Prominent men tell prominent stories
prominent men tell prominent lies
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
prominent men will tear out your eyes
Oh, the prominent child of these prominent people
seeks prominent schools with the finery of age
With a prominent pink of a tasteless red orchid
the prominent men casts a prominent heir
The child of the agent walks barefoot upon grass
he screams with a power that terror's green eyes
His knife harshly glistening, stabs noways and always
but those prominent men in nowhere in sight
Prominent men tell prominent stories
prominent men tell prominent lies
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
prominent men will tear out your eyes
