vicarious existance is a fucking waste of time

VELVET REVOLVER has decided to take a little time off from writing for its new album to play a few shows. But drummer Matt Sorum told ABC Radio's ePrep they're on track to have the CD in stores in the spring. No producer has been chosen at this point, but the band has been speaking with Rick Rubin (AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLAYER, SLIPKNOT), hoping to get him to come on board for the project.

"We've been talking to Rick Rubin," Sorum revealed. "So hopefully he's gonna come on board, because I think he's just a great song guy. And his advice to us, which was great advice, was, 'Write as many songs as possible.' He's listened to a lot of our riffs and different parts that we have. He's a very honest guy, and even if he doesn't produce us, he's given us a good sense of what we need to go for, and that's just great songs."

The working title for the disk remains "Libertad", although Sorum dismisses Scott Weiland's statements that it will be a concept record.

"You know, Scott said something about a concept album," Sorum told ABC Radio's ePrep. "But you know, the concept is let's get it done, you know what I mean? (laughs)"


-----------------------------

Kinda interesting, Rick Rubin is also working with Metallica on their new album. Must be a busy guy!

Does this mean that Pharrell Williams is out of the running? I was really hoping for Pharrell just to see what came out of it.

I'm very sure it's spring of 07. What else could it be? Spring of 06 has passed and they're still talking about prospective producers. Maybe this means they are being very picky about the new album and want it to be perfect. I can hold out until next spring if it means the album is going to be awesome and state of the art!

Yeah let them take their time with this new album. It probably means they are being meticulous and the album will be nothing less than perfect. I just hope that they're not having too hard of a time with Scott. I know that he has his probs and can be extremely difficult to deal with.

Rick Rubin is an amazing producer. I hope they work with him. My dream always has been that he'd work with the original line-up or at least Axl. That would've been awesome.

Rick will pull out the best in VR.

I just don't see how Rubin could do VR, when he's got Metallica on his hands?

Whaddaya mean? I'ts not like the producer can only work with one band at a time...
Im still hoping they would work with Trent Reznor. I know Slash and Duff really like hes stuff... They could do something in the lines of "With Teeth" which would be a perfect new step for VR.

 nervous

Please don't!

Reznor lost his edge in the last couple of years, VR shouldn't take NIN's new direction. I'm really excited about the 'danceable' album with huge grooves, great rhythms and killer bluesy solos. But for some reasons I can't imagine Scott fitting into this conception.  no

(Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-Weiland, just think he's style wouldn't fit.)

I'm getting kinda sick of hearing "insert name" is producing the album, or "we are in pre-pro at the moment/we've just entered the studio"

How's about less on who's producing and actually start doing it. Why not Mention songs being thrown around, or a planned release date or somethink other then "our new producer"

just my 2 cents...

I wouldn't mind having a handful of producers on the album, so I hope they have a few songs produced by Pharrell, Rubin and whoever else they've been working with.

Apparently Metallica are still in pre-production too, still in song-writing stage. They won't be working with Rubin to record the album until later in the year from what I'm aware. So maybe he could work with VR in the meantime?

Rick's not exactly a "hands on" producer these days, he tends to play "Executive Producer" while his minions (George Drakoulias and others) handle the day to day duties of production.

That's not to say he wouldn't have a part in it of course, just not to the extent some might think.

Food for thought..

I think this is bad news--the album was going to be released by X-Mas '05, remember. "Libertad" now wont be out 'til Spring (code for Summer or Fall) of '07?

Why is it bad news? It just means the album will come out later than originally planned.

These guys don't seem to be on any deadline, let them take their time and put out something great.
