Libertad (Velvet Revolver album)

Libertad is the second and final studio album by American hard rock band Velvet Revolver, released on July 3, 2007.

Although it is not certain how concrete the concept album plans were,[4] they were eventually scrapped and the band began to work with producer Rick Rubin.

Upon its release, Libertad received generally positive reviews and was said to possibly be "THE rock record of the summer" according to the Associated Press.

Rolling Stone also gave the album a good review, stating that "there is plenty of thrill in the fuzz-lined hard-rubber bends of Slash's guitar breaks and the way bassist Duff McKagan keeps time, like a cop swinging a billy club" and that the album had "honest depth.

[17] During the Augusto Pinochet military dictatorship, the coin bore the image of the winged female figure.

After the restoration of democracy, Pinochet's winged female was replaced with the portrait of the Chilean independence hero Bernardo O'Higgins.

It was later stated by Slash, in an interview in September 2007 by radio station 102.1 The Edge in Dallas, the image came from a friend's old Chilean 10 pesos necklace.

All music is composed by Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner, except where noted.
