Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Velvet Revolver were all set to shoot their first video, "Slither," on Sunday in Los Angeles with Kevin Kerslake slated to direct. But during Scott Weiland's probation progress report hearing on Friday (March 5), a Pasadena judge denied the singer's request to join his bandmates for the shoot, which has since been postponed. Weiland is due back in court March 23 for another progress report. He's also due back in court March 15 to face charges of driving under the influence of drugs.

only the problems with this band...

At least there is evidence that VR is gonna make a video (unlike GNR's 3 magical mystical videos and albums).  The evidence comes from MTV, not Aura/Darth Bowie.

I dont care too much about videos, I just want to hear the singles on the radio.

 :no: Sucks it was postponed, but Im definitely glad to hear theyre at least ready to get the video going.  
Hope it works out.

Kerslake is a longtime Weiland/STP/Nirvana director..For anyone interested, heres his videography...

Sonic Youth huh?  Cant get any grungier than that!  I was introduced to this band from the Nirvana albums.   The only Sonic Youth album I have is Daydream Nation - it's really good.

So are Scott's 'alternative' roots are going to be more prominent in VR than its rock n roll roots?  Are we going to see a true marriage of the two?  Or just the dominance of the cooler one?

VELVET REVOLVER To Film 'Slither' Video In Early April
 
 
Plans are moving forward for VELVET REVOLVER to film a video for "Slither", the upcoming first single from the group's debut album, "Contraband", in early April. Director Kevin Kerslake is shooting interior and exterior scenes in Los Angeles and Europe (including catacombs footage in France), while the band will film their performance in early April after bassist Duff McKagan and guitarist Slash return from an overseas promotion tour for the album, due on May 18 through RCA Records.

VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland (ex-STONE TEMPLE PILOTS) is due back in court March 23 for another probation progress report hearing. He's also due back in court March 15 to face charges of driving under the influence of drugs.

better to say
only the problems with this Scott...

Duff & Slash are doing all the heavylifting - interviews, photo shoots, jet-setting.

It'll be good once Scott can join them, since he is the frontman after all.

The video promises to be interesting  : ok:   I just might buy a TV - the things I will do for this band.

Catacombs?  :o  Wow, that's pretty creepy. Wonder what the theme of the video will be  :nervous:

I like this  :beer: at last something interesting in video not like 99% of videos on TV!

This should be good - but i'm beginning to wonder how i will ever see it, MTV has abandoned videos and i don't have Kerrang TV :crying:


ed. no this is going to be better than good - i'm really starting to gte into the band, seeing Slash and co on screen again, this will rock!
