VR "Slither" review on Billboard + Slash mention in People magazine
Billboard.com has reviewed Velvet Revolver's "Slither":

Charismatic but troubled singer? Check. A band named after a firearm? Check. Slash? Check again. Welcome to the world of Velvet Revolver. The pairing of three core members of GN'R (Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum) with former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland makes good sense from a rock standpoint. "Slither" isn't trailblazing, but it is comfort food for rock radio. The sound is more mid- to late-era STP than GN'R, yet Slash offers a blistering guitar solo that re-affirms why his former band remains popular. While neither act has been defunct long enough for their sounds to be considered retro, "Slither" will have an undeniable appeal to any fan of meat-and-potatoes rock'n'roll from members of two bands that helped define it. With an album due shortly, as well as a sold-out tour, Velvet Revolver will surely be kept top of mind.—BT
