Velvet Revolver

When the hell did Scott Weiland and the members of Guns n' Roses become a band? I was watching MTV 2 nights ago and saw the video for "Slither". Scott looks like a young version of Keith Richards...all thin and emaciated, looks like a skeleton.

The song isn't that bad....I never liked Guns though...but I had every STP album.

Maybe I'm a bit late being in Europe and all...but has anyone else seen this?!?

I LOVE Scott Weiland, but I wish STP were still together. mad

Not really so much into Velvet Revolver, but they're going to be in Philly in a few weeks, so I'm going to see them for Mr. Weiland.

They just played in Detroit last weekend. I wrote up a lil blurb on them for the paper I work for. Yeah, they're pretty damn good. And something tells me that the Axl Rose solo album is REALLLLLY gonna suck.

velvet revolver have been a band for over a year. they recorded a song that was on the sountrack to a big hollywood movie (i can't recall the name of the song or the movie right now). they recorded a bunch of songs but then just before they were to start touring, weiland got messed up with drugs again and was sent back to rehab. i guess he is out now and they are going to try to make a go of it once again .

I hope so! We NEED a great rock album! Hopefully Scott and Slash won't let us down.

lol I know, I was gonna say the same thing, but I figured they just meant "Seattle" as in the type of grungey rock that came out in the early 90s.

I know, he was so handsome before, and he's so amazingly talented. It's such a shame, but I'm surprised he's been around this long. It's not going to be long before we hear a "Scott Weiland Dies of Overdose" headline. neutral

Maybe, but Audioslave rocks more than RATM or Soundgarden ever did!

I love STP, and I dig G&R, so I'm hopeful for this album (still miss STP though)

One things for sure, it will be a helluva lot better than the phony G&R that Axl has right now (only good thing about that is Buckethead).
