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.
El éxito de Contraband se vio reflejado en numerosos reconocimientos, incluyendo un premio Grammy por Mejor Interpretación de Hard Rock gracias a "Slither". A través de giras extensas, Velvet Revolver consolidó su reputación tanto entre los nostálgicos del rock clásico como entre una nueva generación de oyentes.
En 2007, Velvet Revolver lanzó su segundo álbum de estudio, Libertad. Con este trabajo, la banda exploró

Romeo Had Juliet Song Lyrics
Romeo Had Juliet by Velvet Revolver Caught between the twisted stars
The plotted lines, the faulty map
That brought Columbus to New York
Betwixt, between the east and west
He calls on her wearing a leather vest
The earth squeals and shudders to a halt
A diamond crucifix in his ear
Is used to help ward off the fear
That he has left his soul in someone's rented car
Inside his pants he hides a mop
To clean the mess that he has dropped
Into the life of lithesome Juliet Bell
And Romeo wanted Juliet
And Juliet wanted Romeo
And Romeo wanted Juliet
And Juliet wanted Romeo
Romeo Rodriguez squares
His shoulders and curses Jesus
Runs a comb through his black pony-tail
He's thinking of his lonely room
The sink that by his bed gives off a stink
Then smells her perfume in his eyes
And her voice was like a bell
Outside the street were steaming
The crack dealers were dreaming
Of an Uzi someone had just scored
I betcha I could hit that light
With my one good arm behind my back
Says little Joey Diaz
Brother give me another toke
Those downtown hoods are no damn good
Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
This cop who died in Harlem
You think they'd get the warnin?
I was dancing when I saw his brains run out on the street
And Romeo had Juliet
And Juliet had her Romeo
And Romeo had Juliet
And Juliette had her Romeo
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
With Latin written on it that says
"it's hard to give a shit these days"
Manhattan's sinking like a rock
Into the filthy Hudson what a shock
They wrote a book about it
They said it was like ancient Rome
The perfume burned his eyes
Holding tightly to her thighs
And something flickered for a minute
And then it vanished and was gone
