Today in USA Weekend newspaper supplement....

Q: What do you think about the band Velvet Revolver?  And do you know if they'll tour anytime soon?
--Matt Pittman, Dyersburg, TN

Velvet Revolver is getting ready to tour the USA from mid-October to December.  At press time, no details were set.  With its famous lineup -- including former Guns N Roses guitarist Slash, 39, and ex-Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, 36 (who has struggled with drugs and is on probation for an October 2003 DUI) -- VR's rough indie rock sound suits a post-Nirvana generation.  The band has a ready-made base: Its first CD, Contraband, with hit "Slither", debuted in June at No. 1 The Billboard 200 album chart.

Can't wait.. As good as the first tour was, it was still just a promotional tour. This one should be much better I assume. Bigger venues amd more of a show.  I think there will be more jamming and the band has youred enough to really be a band now. Plus I think we all know they have been saving a couple tunes for this leg.
