Will Weiland get kicked out of the band?

[WeHeldTogether]

Why does everyone always start these dumb threads about Scott?? He's an awsome preformer and a big part of VR.? VR would be nothing without him.? He is probably the 2nd best lead singer in the last 20yrs.?

You got to be kiddin' right ? He's a total disaster onstage, (I've seen them one) and I don't like either his poor lyrics and his live performances. I just love VR music, but it's killing me to hear Scott Weiland sing with them.

He showed up for the gig, didn't he? More than you can say for your buddy Axl. Scott is a very decent live performer and he is great on records. Who do you think should replace him anyway? And don't say Bach, give me someone with credability and a reason why.

I think most people just want VR to break up so Slash, Duff, etc. will come back to GNR. 

[SourBaby]

It's gonna work out....

saw scott twice once in manhattan in the early stages the second in jones beach this past april, the entire band was awesome, scott is super energetic..  Can't wait to see them again

[St.heathen]

There's no law saying that (if it ever were to happen with the SLash/GNR case) that Slash or any other musician couldn't be in more than one band!  That's what alot of musicians do!

There is no reason why Camp freddy,VR, GNR can't co-exist - if that were ever the case. Music doesn't have to be like that.

If anyone in VR should leave its Dave. I dont like his playing style its too modern sounding. Bring back the blues Slash .

I do like the Idea of Dave leaving Then Izzy could join ,The way it should have been in the first place

But if Izzy comes they have to kick Weiland out 

[Sweet s]

Yeah, I know he dosn't like to work with a simger after his experiences with Axl

[IzzyDutch]

I'd rather have Izzy vocals then Scott, or Axl. I prefer his type of voice, the laidback coolness alot more. And his lyrics too.

[Dayle1066]

When will people learn that you know nothing about the band. Just cos one member has said something doesnt mean that another member will be kicked out, its a fuckin joke. Weiland has a great voice and amazing presence live wether you like his style or not and sometimes its just best to leave it at that. Not being funny, im a huge axl/gn'r fan aswell as vr. But axl is actually terrible now, a great shame but he is awful. I hope he pulls through with CD. I like both of em, just cos slash and duff has played with both doesnt mean you can only like one of the frontmen. Nor does it mean shit threads like this have to be made.

I think Dave is fine for teh band.. Izzy is great and all but this is VR not GnR.....

[GNFNR_UK]

First off, Scott didn't say any of that shit! It was Matt! So we don't know who's idea it is to work with Pharell and make 'danceable' music, it could've be Slash's.

As for those saying Scott should leave VR, I agree. He should leave and go back to STP, his vocal talents are being wasted on the extremely generic music put forward by the rest of VR.  'Come on Come In' was nothing new at all and most of CB sounds waaay to samey with the obvious exception of the 3 slower songs.

Listen to Stone Temple Pilots and how they evolved from album to album.

I'm not prefering Izzy cause it will sound "more GN'R" then, but the quailty of the music would improve big time. Late 2001 an album was recorded by Izzy/Slash/Duff/Taz and Slash said that people shouldn't expect it to sound like GN'R cause it's not in that style. He said the songs where not heavy arrangement-duty type just simple cool ideas. And the songs sounded laidback and had a sense of humor about them, he said it sounded like Izzy and Slash/Izzy.

That's what I want to hear, not GN'R

[Velvet Forever]

Mhhhh Now I want some VR news , Matt is a guy who likes to talk about everything and nothing , i think that it's not like Slash who don't talk as much as him , Matt's info aren't so important , IMO.
I think that we just have to wait for some real Info

I am getting hungry for some VR news myself....... I wouldn't mind a movie soundtrack tune or something..

I wish they Were Playing download this year But Alas No,Especially no now that GN'R are playing there

Contraband was something new at the time but I never listen to it now, I hope they are creative enough on the second album for it to be a little different and interesting, otherwise I won't really be into it. Another Contraband won't really do it, especially with quite a few fillers it had.

I really don't think there was much filler on there.. I mean. I would consider DIFTK and Spectacle filler... But some people like those song sthe best... Those two songs and FTP are the low point of Contraband for me... But I definately wouldn't call FTP filler either.. I just don't like those type of songs.

[mikegiuliana]

I love the album and still listen to it alot while drivng, I think there are some excellent songs instrumentally that have kick to it.. I really am not into vr lyrically, but many songs I love in general are more about the vibe n flow then the words themselves if that makes sence.. Kind of the way metallica or ac/dc or maiden works for me, just love the playing..

Songs like illegal I, or spectacle, or dlt or slither have cool openings and are pretty damn kicking drum/guitar wise.. To me they are packed with what I feel rock is..

I don't mind if people don't prefer vr, or scott or contraband, can't satisfy everyone..


I honestly feel if we all as people gave music in general (all kinds) the time and attention we give the new gnr tunes we would broaden our musical interest/likes..  Cause I myself gave the three new gnr tunes at least 50 listens each and certain songs took (like twat) about 6 to 10 listens to really soak em in..

Wow DIFTK is one of my faves from the album, I love the tempo of the song. Guess what's a filler to one may be somebody elses fave and I guess that's a good thing cos there is something for everyone and you shouldn't expect to love every song 

[Communist China]

I didn't think there was any filler on Contraband. Maybe some lacking songs, but no filler.
