I just happened to flip to mtv tonight and  slither was #9 on the mtv2 countdown i only caught the end its so bad ass, weiland is such a christ figure. Its bitching and awesome and hardcore and full of hot babes. I think this countdow repeats at 8am pacific thursday morning, the video should go on about 10 minutes or so into the show. just thought i'd give a heads up if anyone just couldnt wait.

 VELVET REVOLVER: 'Slither' Video Premiere Postponed - Apr. 28, 2004
     
The world premiere of VELVET REVOLVER's "Slither" video has been rescheduled from its originally announced April 29 air date, according to a posting on the group's official web site. The clip and the accompanying MTV2 show "Velvet Revolver Makes A Video" will be shown at an as-yet-undisclosed later date.

As previously reported, the "Slither" clip, which was directed by Kevin Kerslake (NIRVANA, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SONIC YOUTH), follows club kids as they chase through underground tunnels in search of the rock band. The catacomb scenes were shot last month in the Czech Republic, while the performance scenes were filmed in Los Angeles in early April.

VELVET REVOLVER will embark on a North American tour beginning on May 13 in St. Louis, Missouri

Please record it!

I saw the video as well. Weiland needs some food...burnt out junkie is very fitting....video is cool overall..lots of skulls..Slash and Duff and Matt look good. Unfortunately, I can't get past the tone of the guitars...kinda cheesy, but Slash still looks good rockin out.

[starchild_666]

ghhhhh.... I can't wait to see this!!!! Can you tell something more about the video please?

[madagas]

Underground club scene, hot ladies, band playing, skulls piled up in the walls/catacombs. Weiland and Duff shirtless and sweaty. Good looking video that young whipper snappers may think is cool.

[Voodoochild]

Please, someone record it and put in the HUB!! It would be very nice!

[smishkey]

Saw it last night too.  Scott should be the poster boy for "just say no" he looked half-dead in the video.  Such a shame.  The song's OK, the chorus sucks.  We'll see how it goes.

[Jizzo]

I really didn't see scott acting like he was christ, but then again I didn't stare at scott the whole time at the shoot.

[slashnbuckethead]

Its at the very end of the vido that he strikes the Jesus pose. I thought they looked great  the video feels like they've already tourned together months and months. I gotta say weiland looks awesome especially in the shiny pants lol. Cant wait to see em live.

[alwaysoutparading]

Just saw the video. They all looked great. Scott is really flamboyant in the video but rockstar all the same. I'm glad to see him doing him own thing and not trying to dance/dress/sing like Axl. Instead of doing the infamous Axl snake dance, he kinda of hops and twists. He looks so thin! maybe even thinner than Axl was back in the day. Anyway...

As far as the video concept goes, it's okay. Nothing great. I thought it was kinda weak. It's a girl trying to get to their concert in an underground tunnel and shots of them playing. I think they should have just done a performance video. Slash, Duff and Matt were never really into big cool intricate video concepts. They should just stick with what they're good at -- playing!

All in all, it was great to watch. I'm happy to see them succeeding.. can't wait to see them live!

[echrisl]

Are you all seeing this on MTV 2, or has it been on MTV/VH1 as well?  

I'd watch videos for a while tonight if I thought it'd be on, but if it's only on MTV2 then I'll have to wait, because my expanded Cable is too full of CSPAN2 to give me MTV2 ... hell, I'd trade MTV for MTV2 ... excuse my rant.

[Funeral]

hmmm, I don't think that's true.  the vid was just on MTV2 (6pm PST, 4-29).  Weiland reminds me of a younger Mick Jagger.  Pretty cool video.

i think the video suits the release of this song. It's problably the most radio friendly song, so why not have a TV friendly video. Who knows maybe they make a live video for the rockers like Big Machine, Suckertrain Blues, Headspace!!
