“Set Me Free” is the debut single by Velvet Revolver, released in 2003 as part of the soundtrack for the Marvel film Hulk before appearing on the band’s 2004 album Contraband. Written by Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner, it was the first track the newly formed supergroup released publicly, marking the official introduction of their sound—a mix of classic hard rock riffs, punk-inspired energy, and modern production. The song is powered by Slash’s driving main riff and a blistering guitar solo, backed by Sorum’s tight drumming and Weiland’s gritty, urgent vocals. “Set Me Free” helped establish Velvet Revolver’s identity and built anticipation for Contraband. The track also featured in the film’s end credits and promotional materials, gaining wide exposure before the band’s full-length debut was released.
