        VELVET REVOLVER 'UninsNpired' Working With RICK RUBI - Jan. 22, 2007
Launch Radio Networks reports: VELVET REVOLVER initially began working on its second album last year with Rick Rubin, the superstar producer who's currently overseeing METALLICA and LINKIN PARK, and who has produced AUDIOSLAVE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, JOHNNY CASH, the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and many others. But the band parted with Rubin after a brief time and hired Brendan O'Brien instead. VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland told Launch why his band and Rick Rubin were not a good match. "If you're gonna work with a producer, unless you're gonna produce something yourselves, if you're gonna pay a producer, get in the trenches with us and work with us," he said. "The Rick thing didn't work out, and, you know, he was working on a couple of other things, METALLICA and U2, and so we kind of became very uninspired."

Brendan O'Brien has also worked with AUDIOSLAVE, PEARL JAM and Weiland's former group, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS.

VELVET REVOLVER hopes to release its sophomore CD, titled "Libertad", in late April or early May. Weiland is also working on his second solo album, which he said will surface sometime in 2008 on his own label, Softdrive Records.

a produces must be workin' on oen only thing, if he's workin' on some more things it's unispirin' for a band. They want the producer to concentrate on their thing at 100 %. That's my opinion

Makes perfect sense to me... Besides, from the last two video updates we got, I think everything is going to work out for the better....
