Will Weiland get kicked out of the band?

[Thorazine Shuffle]

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

Your talkin Shit now!!! Me as a guitar player myself think that Dave is a pretty cool player, (Definatley not as good Salsh as he is god). i was stunned when slash and Dave had a guitar battle each time i went to see VR and Dave impressed me, he also brings that something extra to the band, he rocks end of story, but im not doubthing izzy is cool!!!!

I think it's pretty clear that Izzy wants no part of the lime light... and though I claim no "insight" into the Axl-Izzy relationship... I find it hard to believe that Izzy would betray Axl and play in a band fronted by Scott Weiland after Scott's "statement"... hell... I wouldn't be surprised if Izzy would jack Weiland in the face if he were ever to cross paths with him...

That being said... how about Gilby Clarke in VR? Dude can play and he writes some pretty catchy shit... he can even sing pretty well... I think that would be a coup for VR... of course I'm not sure if Weiland would be down with fronting an ENTIRELY Guns N' Roses band...

I myself am a big supporter of Dave.  The man trades off solos with Slash very well live.  I think he wasn't too much of a contributing factor on CB so I'm hoping that he can have his say alot more on the new album.  I believe when the new album is released you will be able to see the true talents of Dave and Scott.

Scott will get kicked out the same day Slash does

Out of curiosity.. does Scott have any business partnership in VR? I mean he was recruited after the other guys decided to make a band and started working on it.. do Slash, Duff and Matt essentially own VR and pay Scott?

I think there is a partnership between the five.

? I can't imagine Slash or Duff are too happy about Weiland's desire to make an album for people to dance to

I think you meant to say Slash and Duff aren't too happy with Matt Sorum's desire to make an album that's "more danceable".

I think opinions change, ideas change-years ago Matt was talking about Axl saying the new GNR was going to be tecno-Matt said no one would buy a techno GNR album-everyone analyzes comments too much, I think-I'm sure they are all going into the studio with different ideas.

Slash rules  VR sucks ass

will weiland get kicked out of the band? i dont think so, they have acheived there status with him.

do i think he should get kicked out? yep, hes not very good in his current age and is rather crap live now (voice-wise) hes already worn it away after the first albums tour had finished. listening to earlier live bootlegs, then newer ones the difference is very easy to notice.

Scott was given a contract stating if he slipped up he would lose any rights to velvet revolver, basically he's fucked if he mess's up, matt, dave, slash and duff own velvet revolver and make all the decisons, but i think weiland is past the point of being a fuck up, he's taking life more serious now and doesn't miss any kind of Narc, i'd say there's a clause in the contract obviously that if scott stays within the band and prove he's capable of being trusted he have an even share as the rest of the guys

Ok, here are my responses  to various comments:

1.Scott will not be kicked out
2. Dave is cool and a good guitarist, no need to replace him
3. Scott's voice is good on record but sometimes live it is not, have you heard some of the boots? But most often (when I have seen them) you can't hear him at all. Bad mixing.
4. Danceable does not mean it  won't rock. Slash will not let VR not rock.
5. I think VR is alive and well and will put out  a very solid second record.

I agree

At this point it would be career suicide for Slash & Duff to part ways with Weiland
They both took their shots after GNR and did'nt exactly attract too much attention despite their talents
It took someone with Weilands charisma and ability to have a commercially successful project
And don't buy this crap about how they just want to play rock & roll, either. If that were the case, the two of them could just sit in their mansions
and play untill they drop.
The only way you will see them drop Weiland is if they reconcile with Axl Rose, which is not going to happen -
