Title: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: FunkyMonkey on January 03, 2008, 04:58:46 PM The article is in Spanish...thanks to Voodoochild for the translation. : ok:
VELVET REVOLVER BRAKING UP? Confunsing news has been floating around these days around the band. On www.rock-star.es, we were told through our US reporter, Michael Wainwright, that Slash and Duff McKagan have been in talking to some singers, with rumors about Paul Black from LA Guns and Perry Farrel from Jane's Addiction among other singers who would be hable to audition to joing Velvet Revolver to replace Scott Weiland, whose situation in the band looks like very damaged. According to www.totalrock.com, there will indeed be a statement from the managers in which they will announce the cancelation of the next Australian tour that the band were schueduled to do in December. The reason given was "health problems", but the statement didn't say who was ill. Other sources says that the inside situation of the band is a total mess because of Scott Weiland's drug problems, the bad performances in their last leg of American tour and for and the poor sales of their last album, 'Libertad'. All of which would be affecting their excitement, specially from Slash and Duff to walk away from the project and brake up the Velvet Revolver. We stay tuned at any news as they show up. http://www.rock-star.es/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=174&Itemid=43 01.12.2007 Credit to izbo Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

?I?m lucky I suppose,? said McKagan ?my passion is also my living. This band has allowed all of us who might have been relegated to ?you were in a good band but it?s over now? file to show that we are still musically viable.? Despite having been a key member in what many consider to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time McKagan is still hesitant about what lies ahead. ?I never try to plan out my future. I?ve learned from experience,? McKagan said ?there are so many different lives going on within a band. Some people have to go back to a family and kids. I hope that we will make a third album I really do.

Post by: guns_n_motley on January 21, 2008, 05:59:22 PM VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland has told MiamiHerald.com that fans should be on the lookout for a reunion of his previous band, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, in the coming months. The singer made the announcement during an appearance this past Saturday (January 19) at an all-star gala event benefiting the AROD Family Foundation. The event took place at the Ritz Carlton hotel in South Beach, Florida. Hosts included Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia, who founded the non-profit organization to support programs focused on improving quality of life, education and mental health for families in distress.
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS guitarist Dean DeLeo and bassist Robert DeLeo confirmed the band's split in 2003 following the release of the group's greatest-hits package, "Thank You". "It was time to move on to other things," Dean told Guitar One magazine at the time. "Life and personalities and brotherhood took its course." "Dean and [drummer] Eric [Kretz] and myself, I think, all feel a sense of sadness, relief, anger, melancholy about it," said Robert. "But to try and go and accomplish something with this band after we've already peaked is a bit cheesy. There's a cheese factor with guys hitting 40 trying to recapture glory. "There's no way to go but out." Weiland was expected to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom last Thursday (January 17), where his recent DUI case was to be continued. The singer was charged with driving under the influence of drugs after being pulled over by police in late November. VELVET REVOLVER will begin a new U.S. tour on January 24 in Chicago, with dates confirmed through February 9. guess that means the whole writing in April has gone to hell.... ::) Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

She certainly had no problems playing pinch hitter at Tao last night in Park City, Utah, when band Velvet Revolver was short their lead singer Scott Weiland. Speculation from inside the band's camp said the singer had missed his flight to Sundance for the performance, but that didn't stop his band mates from literally asking the crowd if they wanted to have a go. "It's was crazy, they were inviting anyone who wanted to get up sing," an onlooker told PageSix.com. While Paris, who released an album in the summer of 2006, didn't sing a note, she told the crowd, "This is Tao! Let's have a good time!" http://www.pagesix.com/story/paris+beats+tao Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Unlikely, but I can wish. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Trist805 on January 21, 2008, 10:32:18 PM Looks like everyone else made it to the show, execpt Scott. Missed his flight?... I don't know if that is a reasonable excuse. That is pretty fucked up to do to the band also. That and the STP announcement, it is starting to look like the end of VR. This sucks cuz VR is one of my fav. bands, but I guess I should have known. Hope it isn't true, but I think so.
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: williambailey on January 21, 2008, 10:37:31 PM Missed his flight - I call BS!
If his comment about looking out for a STP reunion was accurate I'm guessing he has decided to pull the pin from VR and didn't bother to tell his bandmates., presumably because there is a fair bit of animosity between them and him at the moment, probably stemming from his DUI case and cancelled tour dates and lost $$'s!

Sorry about posting new topic. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: lynn1961 on January 22, 2008, 01:34:04 AM I've got to give those guys a LOT of credit for going on with the show without a lead singer - well, without their regular one anyway!! They could have cancelled, but didn't.
Obviously, we don't know if this was a one-time thing or if there is true trouble in paradise. That remains to be seen, I guess. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: fuckin crazy on January 22, 2008, 01:39:00 AM Lynn, from experience ... "Serenity Prayer"

January 21st, 2008 - Posted By: Cisco Adler After the meal it was upstairs to TAO again for the VELVET REVOLVER show. Literally as I walk in I get a call from DONOVAN saying Scott Weiland missed his flight and the guys wanted to know if I could fill in. WHAT? The friggin answer is YES! Next thing I know Im backstage with DUFF, SLASH, MATT SORUM and the boys learnibng some tunes that Im gonna have to rock out for the sold out crowd waiting for VELVET FUCKING REVOLVER. The funny thing is I was never even one bit nervous. The stage is my home and the fact that my heroes just asked me to front the band for the evening(3 songs) was a dream come true but also a chance for me to show these motherfuckers that I can handle-randal. Most people know me for the wrong reasons and have no idea that I have actual talent?let alone the ?BALLS? to rock out in front of thousands of people with the greatest rock n rollers of our day after a 10 minute cramming session to learn the tunes. I sang ROCK N ROLL by ZEPELLIN, FEEL LIKE MAKIN LOVE by KID ROCK, and held down the back ups on HONKY TONK WOMAN. Look left and SLASH is ripping hall of fame solos and behind me GUNS N ROSES actual rythm section is rolling and rumbling like thunder through my chest. I may not have made it yet?but I definitely have arrived! hahah I cannot wait to see the pictures!!!! We took a band shot to which is gonna be classic! I finished up the set, said goodbye to my new bandmates, and rushed outside where we had two HUMMERS waiting to take us up to the GREEN DOOR MANSION for our secret performance. http://www.eatskeet.com/2008/01/21/sundance-snowbunnys-and-gifting-suitessweet/ A couple of photo here: http://www.filmmagic.com/ItemListing.aspx?cgl=300655&EventI=0&navtyp=CAL&ym=20081 Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

This talk about the reunion is very strange indeed, how can he go out and just say that "there's a reunion" coming on? For an album, a concert?? Strange... ??? I like VR, but I like STP better, so, despite I don't believe in a full reunion, as the broke up back in 2003 was very tense among the members, I'm excited with the news... :hihi: P.S. I don't know, but supergroups like VR are too dependent on success, they kind of need this to stick together... :-\ Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received an official statement from VELVET REVOLVER's publicist regarding frontman Scott Weiland's absence from the band's concert Sunday night (January 20) at the 944 Magazine's party at Tao during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It reads as follows: "On Sunday, January 20, the private plane that Scott was traveling on from Miami (where he performed the night before at the AROD Family Foundation and Bay Point Schools benefit) to Utah was diverted because of bad weather. The pilot wouldn't fly from Miami to the Salt Lake City Airport because of extremely poor visibility and a potential poor weather system that made it dangerous for the plane to fly to Salt Lake City. Two hours into the flight, it was diverted to the Van Nuys Airport (in Los Angeles). "Scott, the band and management tried to find a flight to take him from Van Nuys to Salt Lake City in time for the band's show, but this was not possible. By the time Scott landed at the Van Nuys airport, it was too late to make any connecting flights. VELVET REVOLVER's tour manager also looked into private flights for Scott, but a crew was not available in time for an immediate departure that would have brought him to the show on time."

BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received an official statement from VELVET REVOLVER's publicist regarding frontman Scott Weiland's absence from the band's concert Sunday night (January 20) at the 944 Magazine's party at Tao during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

I think this was more of a private type of show, anyway, and it sounds like they kind of put a "Camp Freddy" kind of vibe into it, so it worked. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

And then there are still the STP reunion comments. Apparently Billy Morrison said recently on Camp Freddy Radio, "I happen to know some things. I mean, it's no secret, half of LA knows STP have venues on hold." Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: FunkyMonkey on January 23, 2008, 11:36:49 AM From the... Speculation from inside the band's camp It sounds like VR were not sure. Yeah, I figured as much, but I was wondering if there were any rumors or anything else out there. Ali :D Tuesday, January 22, 2008 On the Circuit: Scott Weiland Goes Missing More postings from Park City, and things are starting to get weird. How weird? Weird enough that lead singers with a history of strange behavior totally blow off a scheduled gig. Let us explain. Velvet Revolver played Sunday night at Tao, though not everyone made it to the stage. Scott Weiland was nowhere in sight and an unidentified gentlemen joined Slash and the boys to sing. The regular band members did not seem pleased with the situation. After an encore of Mr. Brownstone, the singer thanked the crowd for coming to see "Velvet Revolver". Slash reacted by saying "This isn't Velvet Revolver" and quickly walked off stage. So where is Mr. Weiland? Rumors abound - back in rehab, missed his flight, got arrested the night before in Park City - but no one could tell us for sure. We have been checking the local park benches and bus shelters to no avail. http://downbythehipster.blogspot.com/2008/01/on-circuit-scott-weiland-goes-missing.html Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

01.23.08 A Note From Scott I truly apologize on behalf of the band for our inability to perform at the scheduled party during the Sundance Film Festival. I performed the previous night in Miami in support of the "A-Rod Family Foundation", and afterwards a jet was arranged to fly myself and a couple of the crew members to the festival, where I was looking forward to performing. Not only was I hoping to ROCK, but I also wanted to snowboard AND have some well...good and clean fun! Seriously, though...I even already had my "one piece" long johns on (no shit!!). Now...the problem was that the pilot of the private jet would not...I mean absolutely would NOT fly us to Park City due to the low visibility and poor weather conditions. We did everything in our power to make it happen. At last minute, Matt tried to hook up a flight from L.A. to Park City, but the owner of the plane could not find a crew in time. I'm sorry...we all are. Who knows...maybe this happened for a reason. -SW Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Post by: Ali on January 24, 2008, 12:30:01 AM what the hell does maybe this happened for a reason mean? Very good question. That is bizarre.

Yeah, but then why didn't he just say that in the end they were probably better of for not taking the chance? You could also very easily interpret that as maybe he didn't end up at the show for a reason. Ali Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Smoking Guns on January 24, 2008, 12:42:39 AM Ali, I thought that too, but, why would he and the band express such remorse if that were the case??? Which goes back to the fate thing keeping him out of the plane. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Post by: LT4 on January 24, 2008, 01:56:18 AM It seems odd that he couldn't make it into Salt Lake given the numerous instrument approaches
and current weather conditions at the time. However this would have put him 45 minutes away thus too late to perform. If he was asking the pilot to fly to Park City. the closest airport would have been Heber which does have an instrument approach though requiring a 2000 ft ceiling. Plus the runway in Heber is a very narrow short bugger for a Cessna let alone a Jet, I don't blame them for not even trying it. Better safe then sorry. Kudos to the guys for being responsible and performing for their audience. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: fuckin crazy on January 24, 2008, 02:41:42 AM ^ I would wager that you are a pilot. Thanks for the info.
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Thorned Rose on January 24, 2008, 08:13:14 AM Hmm, well I would say that the higher probability of his little statement means he was supposed to not leave because he might crash like others are thinking here.
Other, and maybe a even more underlined note... that he thinks we won't pick up on is that maybe it's a sign that he isn't supposed to be in VR anymore and so on. Obviously it looks like he said it because of the weather and his safety, but he could of said it meaning that in also with his STP reunion hint going on. Who knows? I say VR is broken up or on a hiatus in the next 6 months for sure. Peace Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: evergreen_layne on January 24, 2008, 01:19:17 PM Yeah they're headlining the ROCKNACHT Festival in Germany on March 29th. Seems to me like all is well in VR land.....
VELVET REVOLVER will headline the 22nd Rocknacht festival, set to take place March 29 at the Palladium in K?ln, Germany. The festival billing is as follows: VELVET REVOLVER THE HIVES GOOD CHARLOTTE THE FUTUREHEADS JOLLY GOODS Tickets are 47 euros plus cover charge from www.noisenow.de. Although there has been no official confirmation from anyone involved, VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland made news over the weekend by telling the Miami Herald to be on the lookout for a STONE TEMPLE PILOTS reunion in the months ahead. The band members are reportedly on good terms again after their less than friendly break-up in 2002, and Weiland told The Pulse of Radio a while back that he wouldn't rule out getting back together. "I think that there is always that distinct possibility," he said. "I have to say it would never come in the way of VELVET REVOLVER, but I don't think that the story has been completely told. I'm unhappy with the ending of the story." Weiland made his comments at an all-star gala event benefiting the AROD Family Foundation, on Saturday (January 19) at the Ritz Carlton hotel in South Beach, Florida. Although he was supposed to perform with VELVET REVOLVER on Sunday (January 20) at a party in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival, Weiland was a no-show for the gig. The vocalist's flight to Utah was diverted because of bad weather. The band carried on with the show, inviting audience members and singer Donovan Leitch to pitch in. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=89175 (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=89175) Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Duff McKagan on Weiland and STP re-formation rumours Classic Rock just tracked down Duff McKagan, Velvet Revolver bassist, and quizzed him about VR singer Scott Weiland's recent 'antics'. Here's what Duff had to say: On the Sundance Festival: ?I sang It?s So Easy and I Wanna Be Your Dog and then we were panicking a bit over what to play so Matt [Sorum] got up and sang Patience, Matt?s a great singer, he really is. Why wasn?t Scott there? Scott missed his plane, yeah, let?s say that, Scott missed his plane?? On Stone Temple Pilots re-forming: ?That?s the rumour that I?ve heard too, good for him. You can?t plan ahead in this thing and if you do you?re going to be disappointed. Don?t get me wrong, I love playing live and we love this band, but I don?t have expectations any more. This is a great band and I?m proud to be a part of it, but it doesn?t define me any more.?

The first part I understand , he is saying he learned not to expect anything or attempt to plan ahead as you get let down just roll with everything.

Two days ago I was performing at a Sundance Film Festival event in Salt Lake City, UT. After my performance at Rose Wagner Theater, I began driving the 25 minutes it takes to get back up to Park City. I checked my voice mail and there was a frantic message from my friend Jenna Lynn. "Mattie Moon, it's Jenna", she said. "Call me back, it's urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, about tonight", she continued, tension in her otherwise smooth voice, "come play with Velvet Revolver, come sing...we need somebody who can sing..call me..bye." If you are not familiar, Velvet Revolver is a rock band comprised of rock n? roll icons, Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum from Guns N? Roses, Dave Kushner, and Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots. I looked at my traveling companion, Kooze, and said...,"dude..I think they want me to sing with Velvet Revolver tonight." My stomach began to turn. I received a text 5 minutes later that said.."Wanna play vocals for Velvet tonight?" I looked at Scott and we both started laughing hysterically. ?Hell yeah!?, I texted back. Apparently, Velvet front man, Scott Weiland, had missed his flight from LA and would not be able to make the gig. We jetted up the mountain as fast as we could. While we were driving I began downloading lyrics off the Internet from my Blackberry. I had never even heard a Velvet Revolver song before! When we arrived I was escorted backstage to meet the band. I walked in, said hello, and took my guitar out.... We began mapping out a game plan. Duff asked me if I knew any Stone?s covers and I told him I knew Honky Tonk Woman. I started jotting the lyrics down on a piece of paper. Soon after, Donovan Leitch, son of legendary singer, ?Donovan?, arrived and began learning songs. Then came a singer named Cisco (Whitstar). He was accompanied by an actress named E.G Daily, known for her role in the cult-classic movie, ?Valley Girl?. We ran through the song in an empty stairwell and then made our way to the stage. My song was not until second from last, so I stood and watched as Donovan and Cisco sang ?Rock N? Roll? by Led Zeppelin. Right before their song was about to finish, I noticed Paris Hilton making her way to the front row. I actually thought about running! Could there be any more pressure than this? Then Paris jumped on stage and made her way over to where we were standing. I took the mike from Cisco?s hand as drummer Matt Sorum started the legendary cowbell count-off that signifies the beginning of one of the best Stone?s songs ever. When the time came, I began to sing, ?I met a gin soaked, barroom queen in Memphis?. The whole crowd was singing along! Everyone was grooving! Then Cisco and E.G joined me on harmonies. It was AWESOME. The band was so friendly and cool. There was something very serendipitous about Sundance this year. -Matthew Moon Photos: http://laist.com/2008/01/24/dear_laist_i_un.php Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: ben9785 on January 24, 2008, 10:33:14 PM VR are a great band, I really enjoyed seeing them in Australia, and "Contraband" is one of my favourite albums. "Libertad" was solid, but not as good as the first one.
A "Stone Temple Pilots" reunion tour/album would, however, be a dream for me as a longtime fan who never got to see them live. I have no doubt also that Duff and Slash and Matt would always regroup and come up with something just as great as VR. But it's a shame how its turned out as VR genuinely at one point seemed like they were in for the long term. If things are so messy though, especially with a pending tour which primarily consists of rescheduled dates for previous cancellations, then they should just cancel all their forthcoming commitments and work out where they stand before they get back out on the road.

Scott and the DeLeos are a perfect match stylistically, I never felt VR had that much songwriting chemistry between the vocalist and the instrumentalists, in that their strongest suits as musicians do not necessarily mesh. Apparently the songs that ended up on Contraband were mostly written musically prior to Scott's arrival, and that album had its flaws but one thing you could say about it was that it had some balls and some attitude. The second album it sounded like Scott dominated the musical direction, though Scott sounded more at home the music just sounded neutered and lacked punch, with the exception of 3-4 tracks it ended up sounding in my estimation like a bunch of lower-level STP songs with Slash solos pasted in on Pro Tools. I have no doubts that they enjoyed recording Libertad and are proud of the effort but to some extent, both albums sound like members trying to conform with what the others are good at, Contraband was Scott trying to conform with what the other guys are best at, Libertad was the other guys trying to conform to what Scott is best at Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Excuse me if some is wrong, I just heard it 1/2 hour ago and am going on memory here Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Grouse on January 25, 2008, 10:21:08 AM think you mean this one:
On the Sundance Festival: ?I sang It?s So Easy and I Wanna Be Your Dog and then we were panicking a bit over what to play so Matt [Sorum] got up and sang Patience, Matt?s a great singer, he really is. Why wasn?t Scott there? Scott missed his plane, yeah, let?s say that, Scott missed his plane?? On Stone Temple Pilots re-forming: ?That?s the rumour that I?ve heard too, good for him. You can?t plan ahead in this thing and if you do you?re going to be disappointed. Don?t get me wrong, I love playing live and we love this band, but I don?t have expectations any more. This is a great band and I?m proud to be a part of it, but it doesn?t define me any more * edit to add that this came from classic rock Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Bodhi on January 25, 2008, 11:27:29 AM If VR cancel another gig here in Ireland im gonna flip! that'll be two in the last 6 months or so! I have a feeling the rest of the band will continue the tour without Scott...I dont think it'll matter in Europe anyway...everyone is there to see the Guns guys :rofl: With what singer? To Jarmo , well I guess it is how it seems. I really dug VR , Libertad may have been a commercial flop but since when does sales mean good music? Contraband and Libertad were both solid rock albums , I'm sure they will all move on to bigger and better things. They could find a replacement singer if necessary, there are plenty of singers out there who could replace him at least in a live setting and people would still go to the shows The best case scenario would be for VR to get a singer more suited to what VR proclaims to be about. Scott and the DeLeos are a perfect match stylistically, I never felt VR had that much songwriting chemistry between the vocalist and the instrumentalists, in that their strongest suits as musicians do not necessarily mesh. Apparently the songs that ended up on Contraband were mostly written musically prior to Scott's arrival, and that album had its flaws but one thing you could say about it was that it had some balls and some attitude. The second album it sounded like Scott dominated the musical direction, though Scott sounded more at home the music just sounded neutered and lacked punch, with the exception of 3-4 tracks it ended up sounding in my estimation like a bunch of lower-level STP songs with Slash solos pasted in on Pro Tools. I have no doubts that they enjoyed recording Libertad and are proud of the effort but to some extent, both albums sound like members trying to conform with what the others are good at, Contraband was Scott trying to conform with what the other guys are best at, Libertad was the other guys trying to conform to what Scott is best at I couldnt agree more..that is the best description of Libertad i have seen....stole the words right out of my mouth....same with Contraband..i LOVED Contraband even though it wasnt perfect...but Libertad for the most part is unlistenable....sounds like b-sides off of old STP albums....and their best song "Messages" doesnt even make it on the album!! :confused: Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: FunkyMonkey on January 25, 2008, 12:01:02 PM Slash: Weiland Playing With STP This Summer
January 25, 2008, 11:30 ET After Velvet Revolver wraps a spring tour in support of its second album, "Libertad," frontman Scott Weiland will rejoin his former bandmates in Stone Temple Pilots for a handful of summer reunion shows, guitarist Slash tells Billboard.com. STP broke up in late 2002; the band's last album was the previous year's "Shangri-La Dee Da." No other details have yet been revealed about STP's plans. In the meantime, Weiland and his Velvet Revolver bandmates are still plugging away in support of "Libertad" with dates that run through early April. There's also the hope that recording for album number three could begin in the spring. "I don't think anybody knew the second one came out," Slash admits. "We didn't promote it, for one. The first record I remember going out for three weeks on the road and just promoting, with (bassist) Duff (McKagan) and myself going to Europe, Japan and the States. "This time around we actually went on the road way before the album came out. It's just a different kind of promotion," he continues. "People are just going to a concert, and you're not necessarily drilling into their head about the new album. So I think that had a lot to do with it. All things considered, it doesn't matter to me. It's still just a really good record." On the current tour, which plays Milwaukee tonight (Jan. 25), Velvet Revolver has added additional Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots covers it hadn't performed previously. "There was a point there where I thought that we felt like we were sort of obligated to do them, like people really, really were expecting that," Slash says. "And once we got a bigger catalog by putting out another record, there was a feeling like we don't necessarily have to do any Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots songs." "It was more like Pete Townshend feeling like he didn't have to smash his amps every night," he continues. "So for a second there, that was the plan, but then we personally started missing it. They were like the easiest cover songs for us to cover because we wrote them, so we just sort of got over that." Speaking of Guns N' Roses, Slash admits he has no contact with Axl Rose, nor has he heard material from the long-awaited "Chinese Democracy." But any silence between the camps is bound to end come 2012, when the influential hard rock act becomes eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Slash, McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum experienced firsthand what could be in store based on the drama that ensued last year around Van Halen's induction into the Rock Hall. With Eddie Van Halen in rehab and David Lee Roth refusing to attend after a set list squabble, Velvet Revolver ended up jamming with Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar. "I never even thought about it until we had to do that," Slash says. "Somebody asked me, 'Do you think you guys will be able to show up for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (induction ceremony) in five years?' I was like, 'Oh, I guess we're eligible.' It never dawned on me before then. If this comes up, I'd hope we'd be mature enough to get up and do that, but I have no idea." When asked what his gut feeling is about Rose and the other original members coming together, Slash says, "My gut doesn't count because it's not just about me. It's about everybody. And if it was easy to predict, we probably wouldn't have had so many hassles in the first place." http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003702045 Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

I'm so fucking sick of artists/fans blaming "lack of promotion" when an album tanks, especially when it's just not the truth. VR were all over TV, the net, mag articles, released singles, made vids, toured extensively etc.. Libertad just didn't catch on, it's that simple. Just own it for cryin' out loud. This isn't VR specific by any means, it's a universal fucking excuse. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: COMAMOTIVE on January 25, 2008, 01:32:21 PM It was definitely promoted. Not in the way of the debut album, but that' s not surprising. The album just did'nt take off. Shit happens.

I'm sure they've always had a "short list" of replacements if Weiland indeed left for whatever reason if they intended to move forward without him.

The question is then, who would they consider? Josh Todd and Baz are both no longer available and I personally doubt that either one would be interested anyway.

Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on January 25, 2008, 09:56:14 PM ^ true. if VR could make a Lies-style album with Jennings, I think that would be awesome.
Is he (Jennings) friends with anyone in the band? From my hazy memory, I recall that Scott's wife was friends with Duff's wife and that's how they met, or something. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: fuckin crazy on January 25, 2008, 10:00:09 PM I have know idea, but his family has been involved in the industry for years, and he is a down to earth guy.

2012 GNR reunion. Once they play together at the R and Roll hall of fame, It will get their creative juices and minds rolling and Axl will forgive them and all will be awesome! Ive said this since 2002 GNR are the new Aerosmith Remember when Joe Perry and Brad Whitford left in the early 80's? They came back and Aerosmith had a resurrection Same will happen for GNR in 2012 mark it down! Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Bach is a great great singer. His lyrical abilities have always been in question but his singing is much better than Weiland. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

His lyrical abilities have always been in question but his singing is much better than Weiland. But Slash himself said that when Bach auditioned for VR that the prob that they were running up against was that the band sounded just like Skid Row. And I can really believe that because SB has such a distinct sounding voice. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

I do think they will play at least one more show together ( Axl and Slash at least ) maybe R N R hall of fame will be a one off thing which is what I'm thinking. In the rock world its inevitable that they reunite at least once but on a full scale thing unless CD bombs but i doubt. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Are you talking about Scott? Cuz I could actually see him doing the STP thing as just a way to maybe make some extra money. I'm not sure how successful the Libertad tour was. It seemed like they had to do stuff like M&G to get extra cash, and Scott wasn't involved in that. Deep down it is probably a good idea to end things on a better note with STP. Hopefully he will go back to VR, cuz I could not stand Sebastian Bach in that group. It would be wayyy too cheesy. I also think they have established something with VR that would be more successful than trying to start over. I hope that it is something that they can just talk about instead of letting all the rumors decide their fate. Right now tho it does kind of seem to be VR band vs. Scott. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: D on January 27, 2008, 05:02:39 PM I guess I am old school
To me being in a band is like being married. Playing in side projects, other bands etc is like cheating on your wife. Thats why I hate the GNR side projects so much. Im in a band and I'd never go off and join another band cause to me that just isn't right. a band is a unit and should stick together regardless. Scott rejoining STP sends the wrong message. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: CheapJon on January 27, 2008, 05:30:33 PM Hopefully he will go back to VR, cuz I could not stand Sebastian Bach in that group.

I wouldn't bet on that.. since they tried out and it didn't work i think they'd try someone else Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Trist805 on January 27, 2008, 05:38:45 PM I agree with that, and that the breakup of a band can be just as bad as a breakup of a serious relationship. If I had it my way, VR would be the main priority, and there would be no solo projects, books, etc. to interfer with them making the best record possible. I guess they also have to keep other options open. This could also be them having to deal with the new music scene as opposed to being old school. Except for maybe a Slash solo album, I don't see a Scott Weiland or Duff album being nearly as successful as VR. I think at this point, there is potential, but it may also have to be one of a few things going on, in order for them to really be successful. I'm starting to see VR as an amazing band that some ppl just didn't catch onto because the resentment some ppl have towards Scott Weiland or the band as a whole, mainly from the GNR fans that followed them over. Maybe Scott does need to leave, and then you still have Matt, Slash, Duff, and then maybe Dave with a new singer. As a Weiland fan coming to VR, I can say those other guys have totally won me over as well.

If an artist wants to play then do it , being in a band shouldn't hold you back from that. Jarmo in this case I think he isn't really saying its the fact that Scott will spend time off from the band , I think he is taken more so by the fact that its other musicians.... I don't have an issue with either promoting the book or doing a side project. Although a reunion with your former band isn't really a "side project" no matter how you look at it , if Axl told the guys HEY I'm just going to do a couple summer shows with the old guys , that be complete BS. I think what scott is doing is wrong and if he does shows with STP then VR need to move on with out him. Playing with your ex band is not by any means some form of side project. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on January 27, 2008, 07:11:57 PM I see nothing wrong with side projects - if Scott wants to tour with STP this summer more power to him . We should not assume because of this he is leaving VR or going to make another album with STP.
Sometimes side projects can bring in a shot of creativity. Guess we'll just have to wait & see if STP this summer is a side project or full time commitment for Scott. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: lynn1961 on January 27, 2008, 07:50:47 PM Great post, Shaman! For one, I think people need to quit thinking about Scott's "no show", at Sundance. He's been at every concert, since....one "no show" in 4 or 5 yrs. Says nothing, to me. (People do that, at work, far more than that!) I saw them, Sat night - they looked tight & fine, to me. And the STP tour, this summer, may be just that...a summer tour. Maybe VR is done - maybe they are not. We'll just have to wait & see. No point in speculating ourselves crazy!

Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: FunkyMonkey on January 28, 2008, 02:36:11 PM From The Detroit News
Thursday, January 24, 2008 McKagan admits that the first album was just about the band coming together to prove a point. "At the time we made the first record there were a lot of nay-sayers," McKagan says by phone. "We made this really loud abrasive record. By the time we got to the second record and tour, we figured out who we are as a band." With so much star power locked in one supergroup, you have to wonder about the power struggles. But McKagan seems to take that factor in stride. "Anytime you have strong personalities you will have a clash, but you learn how to get around it," he says. "Like any relationship, you learn that you can't change a person." http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080124/ENT04/801240414/1424/ENT04 Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

While no one from the STP camp has said definitively that the comeback is a go, Weiland did recently tell The Miami Herald that fans should "be on the lookout" for an STP reunion in the coming months. And then there's this week's Billboard story, which says that Weiland's Velvet Revolver bandmate Slash claimed the singer will rejoin his former bandmates in Stone Temple Pilots for a handful of summer reunion shows this summer ? although the article contains no quote of him saying that. Hmmm. Last anyone can remember, Slash was never a member of Stone Temple Pilots, and it hasn't yet been revealed what the guitarist actually said on the matter. What MTV News can tell you is that negotiations are still ongoing, but it's looking very likely that Stone Temple Pilots will be coming to a town near you this summer. According to numerous sources close to the band and others who work in various capacities throughout the industry, the reunion tour is on. Some claim venues have already been reserved throughout the country for the trek, and others say they're actively trying to secure their bands opening slots on the proposed run. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1580339/20080125/stone_temple_pilots.jhtml?rsspartner=rssColdFusion Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

I love VR and hope they stay together and keep rockin' for a long time, but if Scott wants/needs to go (and its seems he does) then that's what he should do.

First one sounds more logical , I just don't see that happening. VR and STP can co-exist. There is more demand for STP, but they will most likely go on tour and remember why they went on hiatus in the first place. Those guys don't get along. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Possibly, the end of VR.

velvet revolver wouldnt be over if scott made a new stp album and toured. they could spend the time relaxing and preparing their own next album. stp and vr can both survive. look at APC and Tool Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

I think if Scott gets back together with STP, it'll be the end of VR. Even if Scott is willing to go back to VR, I don't think the rest of the guys would want to go back. Honestly I'd be much more happy with STP getting back together, they had the magic that VR don't, even though VR is a good band. I'd like to see Duff, Slash and Matt get together with Izzy and do an album.. they already have one written! Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Ali In December, some papers reported that Scott was involved in a drink driving incident, crashing his car. He had to attend court in January, which delayed the Australian tour. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on February 06, 2008, 09:00:43 AM Scott could be in both bands.

Trust me, neither of those bands is exactly thrilled when Maynard takes a hiatus and joins the other one for awhile.

Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver Rumors Mitch Michaels: Rumors and pithy comments have been flying in the Velvet Revolver camp, most of them pointing to a reunion of frontman Scott Weiland's old group, Stone Temple Pilots. Weiland said that a reunion with the STP boys was eminent, while Slash went further and said that Scott would be joining STP for a tour once VR got off the road. Meanwhile, VR's Duff McKagan didn't know what the fuck was going on. Take heed Revolver fans: this is how it started with Audioslave. A one-off Rage Against The Machine reunion, and suddenly your favorite supergroup is super history. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

February 7, 2008 The Grammy-winning band, now on tour to promote its second album, ?Libertad,? plans to record its third album after singer Weiland completes a summer reunion tour with his previous group, Stone Temple Pilots. ?It won't impact Velvet Revolver,? Slash said of the reunion, ?not unless something more than that happens. Velvet Revolver is all-consuming.? :-\ Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: faldor on February 07, 2008, 11:55:21 AM Well if STP is a popular as they once were, which is more popular than VR today , that could be the end. The question is, is the public clamoring for an STP reunion? I know Matt Sorum doesn't think so. However it doesn't seem like the public is clamoring for a follow up to Libertad either.
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Bodhi on February 07, 2008, 12:31:36 PM nah nobody cares about STP anymore...and I highly doubt there are alot of STP people out there who would buy a Weiland led STP album and not a Weiland led VR album...so i dont think a STP record will outsell Libertad....they should just put Libertad behind them and make a new record...I know they have 1 record left on this contract so they have to put out something..unless they put out a live album which I would also be happy with
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: Eclipsed107 on February 08, 2008, 03:08:16 PM You people are crazy if you think that a STP reunion won't get people's attention.
Hell, look at the attention that the AIC reunion got, and they don't even have the original lead singer. I don't know if a STP reunion will last over time, but a STP reunion tour and album would be huge.

Sex Type Thing, Creep, Wicked Garden, Plush, Vaseline, Interstate Love Song, Big Empty.......all mainstream hits. The last three albums were really good and a nice depature from their standard playing. No one cared about Scott's drug problems when STP were huge because 10 years ago the media still didn't have the raging hard on for drama that they have today. You forget back in the 80's/early 90's EVERYONE was still on drugs and it wasn't like they hid it and pretended to be precious angels, so it was no suprise if someone got arrested...you just said, "who didn't know that." Today everyone acts like Mother Theresa by using the "Oh, I've had some problems, went to rehab, but I'm fine now" routine.

Now if you had to start from scratch Mr McKagan, and summon rock legends for your own supergroup?Velvet Revolver excluded of course?who?s getting your call? ?Wow,? Duff exclaims, taking a moment to get the wheels turning. ?That?s a great question?it?d be pretty huge. You?d have Jimmy Page in there. Jeff Beck. Probably Dave Grohl and you?d have to have John Bonham playing drums right?? Like an idiot I shriek, ? Jon Bon Jovi! Are you crazy?!? and immediately kick myself. Hard.

After the Giants victory Velvet Revolver was rolling into the same venue at the Hard Rock I watched the game in (The Joint) to play that night. Sent Slash a text that I was in town and he was nice enought to set me up with tickets and passes for the night. Had a chance to chat with Slash pre-show for a bit. He is still totally clean and sober and doing really well. Slash has been on my show a number of times and this is by far the best version of the guy and I'm glad he has kept it together. He and I hung in Vegas a couple years ago and he was a mess then, great now. He asked me how Ace was doing and we talked about the current VR tour. Plans call for a new VR CD soon after some European tour dates. VR live is a kick ass band, but still think their best CD is ahead of them. They did 3 STP tunes, 3 G&R tunes and a Pink Floyd cover, around songs from both VR albums.

Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: faldor on February 12, 2008, 09:14:48 AM Is STP selling out concerts? Not yet I don't think. I do think they'll do well though, if it indeed does happen. Which will in a way make Sorum eat his words. However, in his defense, I think he was more comparing an STP reunion with a GNR reunion. I think that would dwarf an STP reunion, but it ain't gonna happen and in the same breath I think both would be larger than a VR tour. Velvet Revolver just didn't catch on with the masses, they never even became as popular as Audioslave. Don't get me wrong, I like'em, it just didn't work out quite as I envisioned or hoped.
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: FunkyMonkey on February 12, 2008, 01:32:06 PM Matt comments on Scott's rehab...
As for Weiland's condition, VR drummer Matt Sorum told EW.com that Scott is "doing okay" in treatment. "He checked himself in to rehab," Sorum said on Saturday at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party. "Scott took the initiative to get in there. Nobody forced him, and that's a good thing. You see shows on TV, like Intervention, but until you're really ready to get clean and sober, you're going to do what you're going to do. It could have gone the other way, but he decided he needed to take care of business so he's down there taking care of himself." Weiland entered a rehab facility immediately following VR's L.A. show at the Wiltern Theatre on Feb. 8. http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/02/scott-weiland-d.html Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

Post by: guns_n_motley on February 12, 2008, 08:10:01 PM well, im not sure why it got deleted...but apparantly DUFF is resurecting Loaded
LOADED, the band formed by current VELVET REVOLVER bassist Duff McKagan (on guitar and vocals) after he left GUNS N' ROSES, is currently working on a new, yet-to-be-titled studio album, to be released in the summer, with tours to follow. LOADED was formed in 1999 and has morphed several times, releasing two albums: 1999's "Live Episode" and 2001's "Dark Days". The group's current lineup includes drummer Geoff Reading (NEW AMERICAN SHAME, GREEN APPLE QUICKSTEP), bassist Jeff Rouse and guitarist Mike Squires (both formerly of ALIEN CRIME SYNDICATE). VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash recently told Billboard.com that he is ready to make the group's third record sooner rather than later, hoping to avoid the two-and-a-half year gap between the band's 2004 debut, "Contraband", and last year's sophomore effort, "Libertad". The band is touring until April, and the guitarist said that they're likely to hit the studio right after that. "I'm really jazzed about doing it," he said. "I've, you know, been working on new ideas, and had a couple times where the guys all got together and worked on some stuff. I'm itching to see what this third record's gonna be, 'cause I think it's gonna be awesome, and I think that we don't need to necessarily spend two years on the road like we did last time." Slash said that the group did not have any songs in finished form, but only basic ideas and arrangements. VELVET REVOLVER's exact recording plans for its third effort could be affected by singer Scott Weiland's recent announcement that a reunion of his previous group, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, was on tap for later this year.

I'm still confused about the Loaded thing. Some people are talking like Duff has something to do with it. I'm not so sure he does, right now. Loaded still exists and probably are releasing a record & doing a tour, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with Duff, anymore. Anyone know anything different? Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: LunsJail on February 13, 2008, 10:48:12 AM I believe there was another thread about Loaded at some point.

Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: FunkyMonkey on February 15, 2008, 04:45:41 PM From Classic Rock Magazine...
Monday February 11, 2008 And as 'Borgs' said in his comment on Friday, the big rumour doing the rounds at the moment is that VR singer Scott Weiland has been fired. If this is true - unless Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and that other bloke have a ready-made replacement waiting in the wings - it will mean the band's UK tour won't go ahead as planned on March 15. Velvet Revolver are also scheduled to make a prestigious appearance at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival on March 8. http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/page/classicrock?entry=velvet_revolver_cancel_oz_dates Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

I didn't really know they were still active. Also, anyone think STP isn't listed because promoters are scared of advertising them with Weiland's current situation being what it is.

Post by: Falcon on February 27, 2008, 07:10:25 PM Looks as though they're hitting the radio show circuit this summer, that usually runs for around 20 dates or so.
I'd bet they'd be booking their own gigs in between those events as well... Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: slash1213 on February 27, 2008, 08:17:34 PM wow , the concert in Indianapolis is at the speedway?? First time I see that.. they can probably fit more than 100 thousand people there.. however, I doubt there's that many STP fans over there
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: TK1 on February 27, 2008, 09:44:41 PM I live in Indy and they always have bands come play at IMS during the weeks of the Indy 500. I believe typically they set the bands up in the infield and it usually draws a pretty good crowd. Plus, that is Carb Day, which is a great day to be at the track, so that should be a hell of day to be at the track!!

Well maybe Slash and Co will write the music first and have scott write lyrics later. Which could possibly be really good!? But I doubt that VR will have a future.

There's not another band out there right now with the talent and personality this group has. Living legends. So obviously all this trouble talk is worrisome and I hope they make it. Scott's STP crap was really pissing me off, but may as well let him get it out of his system. And if it becomes a permanent departure I hope the rest of the guys find a way to keep on keepin on.
Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver? Post by: cotis on March 20, 2008, 10:35:24 PM Friend just told me that Scott told the crowd at tonight's show that this tour will be the 'last ever Velvet Revolver tour'.

I was just reading that...it was posted on the VR forum and others who were at the show are saying the same thing. From Route66 I was right at the front of the glasgow show where Scott Weiland broke the news right before Fall to pieces! He said and i quote "You're at something really special tonight. This is the last ever Velvet Revolver tour" Once he said that Slash, Duff, Matt and Dave all looked at each other. They sang fall to pieces then.. Scott goes over to the side of the stage and argues with the sound guy. After a couple of songs he threw his mic down and walked off. After a long wait Duff came out with the band and sang the start of its so easy. Scott shows up about half way through.. sang really half assed then gone again... Really doesnt look good. Especially as the band at the start of the evening were late on by half an hour and stood waiting for Scott for about 10 mins on stage. Clearly all very uncomfortably.. Looks like its true guys. Straight from Scotts mouth. Title: Re: Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?
