“Let It Roll” is the opening track on Velvet Revolver’s 2007 album Libertad. Written by Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner, the song sets the tone for the album with its high-energy riffing and confident swagger. Built around Slash’s blues-infused guitar work and Sorum’s driving drum groove, “Let It Roll” embodies the band’s raw, hard rock roots while reflecting the tighter, more polished sound they developed after Contraband. Lyrically, it delivers themes of freedom, momentum, and rebellion—consistent with Libertad’s title and overarching message of breaking free from constraints. Although not released as a single, “Let It Roll” was praised by fans and critics for its punchy, straightforward rock feel and often used to open the band’s live shows during the Libertad tour, underscoring Velvet Revolver’s identity as a powerful modern rock act.
