If Weiland were to be fired or reunite with STP full time, what next

[Verse Chorus Verse]

The STP reuinion was confirmed but now they've been taken off the list of participating bands on the Rock on the Range website.  So I guess it's still up in the air.

I'm on that site right now, and both their picture and name are still there...

It was the Rock Fest where they were confirmed but later removed...not Rock on the Range.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, POISON, TESLA and BOSTON are among the confirmed bands for the Rock Fest 2008, set to take place July 17-20 in Cadott, Wisconsin.

I personally think they will try and stick with Scott.  I am in the minority but i have always liked Scott. I was pretty excited when it was announced he was gonna be in a band with Duff, Slash etc.  I never really got into STP until the 'Tiny Music' album was released. That is a great album. Weiland more or less abandoned the "grunge" type of vocals on that album and he really showed how versatile of a vocalist he was. That in turn got me interested in there previous albums. Back on topic, i think if Scott for whatever reasons doesn't come back to VR i think they will call it quits. I just dont see them going through all of that again as they did before Scott. It was pretty apparent on the VH-1 special they were exhausted from it. I for one am pretty excited about this new Loaded album and tour. I have always been a big fan of Duff and Loaded's album 'Dark Days' is probably my all time favorite album (hence my screen name). Getting a chance to see them live would be the ultimate for myself. I also liked what i heard from Duff on the interview posted here that was done with his wife. Taking bass lessons to change his playing, etc. I could tell he was going for a different style on Libertad and the tour, Until that album and tour i dont ever recall Duff playing without a pick and he did quite alot on the Libertad tour. That was also mentioned by his wife in the interview.

I would like to hear what they recorded prior to Scott joining the band with other big vocalists that stopped by Mates Rehearsal Studios to help them jam out with a singer. Izzy of course, Gilby, Steve Jones, Joe Elliott from Def Leppard, The Cult's singer, etc.  That stuff would really be interesting to hear.

Sorry about that, I stand corrected.  I thought the fact they were taken off the list was because there was some doubt to whether they were getting back together, but if they're still on for Rock on the Range, I guess it's all still a go.

The thing is, VR has always sounded a lot like STP, which is to say that the lyrics and musical style fit Scott. If VR were to hire another singer I am not sure that any of the music would fit. The songs seem natural to Scott and the way he sings and moves. I just can't see another singer fitting with the music as it is, so VR would have to change who it is. I don't think a new singer could do the songs off the first 2 albums. So I would say stick it out with Scott until and unless it becomes impossible.

I see what you're saying, but there has been bands in similar situations who have gone on to success. John Bush sounded nothing like Joey Belladonna and Anthrx still made some cool tunes with him. Plus the whole Vanhagar thing.

Maybe its time Slash, Duff, Izzy (or Gilby), Sorum (or Adler) hit the road an call the band Guns N'Roses.

Hello lawsuit!

Its time Scott returned to STP, as thats wehere he belongs.

Maybe its time Slash, Duff, Izzy (or Gilby), Sorum (or Adler) hit the road an call the band Guns N'Roses. All they need to do is find a lead singer with the voice and the balls to perform such a role. The lead singer from Slash Snake Pit (It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere) would be ideal, as he sounded great. They'd probably sound more like Guns N'Roses than Axl's band.

Let's not go down this road in this thread, please refrain.

What about Daughtry?

I kind of like some of his stuff he has out, and he did that one song with Slash.

It is an idea.

Have you seen Daughtry's sales? I'm not sure he really needs these guys either.

My guess is that the band would get a new singer but I don't know how you could still call it Velvet Revolver.

Then they'd be nothing but a pop-rock band writing songs for the sole purpose of making cash. I REALLY don't want to see these guys do something like that.

If they ever made a CD with Daughtry, I'd buy two of them.

One to shit on and one to wipe my ass with.

I just think we should wait and see.  I've expressed my annoyance at Scott lately here, but I still think VR rock and I'd like to see them keep going.   We'll see.

^ I doubt they'll ever do some stupid shit like that , I mean Slash didn't even want to play at Key Club with Izzy and Co so yeah. Anyways Ali wins for post of the month lmao!

Perhaps they could change the name of the band to 'Silky Revolvers and Tulips'??   

[Dr. Blutarsky]

The big thing about VR is the dynamic between Scott and Slash/Duff. Can't see anyone filling his shoes and still call it VR.

[GeraldFord]

I think the future of VR really depends on how well the STP reunion shows go. If they draw huge crowds and the band gets along great, I think it?s possible that they could reform. That said, I think at this point, Weiland would be lucky to have another album that sells more than 3-400k, whether it?s with VR or STP

[Smoking Guns]

Just watched the Carrie Underwood clips of her doing paradise city, if Scott leaves, get her ass in VR!! They would be huge!!!!

[Verse Chorus Verse]

She'd have to gargle bleach like Josh Todd to get her voice raspy enough.

[Genesis]

get her ass in VR!! They would be huge!!!!

Does not compute
