Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

[jarmo]

Why wasn?t Scott there? Scott missed his plane, yeah, let?s say that, Scott missed his plane??

Let's say that?

This is a great band and I?m proud to be a part of it, but it doesn?t define me any more.?

Any more?

Did something change?


While Slash sounds hopeful about making another record, Duff sounds like he's given up.....

Ulp

that doesn't sound too optimistic from Duff's Perspective....

[CheapJon]

Duff seems like the only honest man of that band, and maybe dave but he never talks unfortuneatly.. duff deserves better

yeah l"et's say that" did got me thinking too..

and the defining part maybe he didn't like the way libertad sounded or something or how the other band members represent the band and themselves 

[jarmo]

I think Duff has mentioned about how his family is more important to him than other stuff. Maybe that's what he means by the define thing.

Yeah, I really hope that's true but tbh Duffs comments lately have gotten me worried about VRs future.

personally I think it would be better if VR split up and Scott went back to STP.

[LunsJail]

They are supposed to play a gig in Chicago tonight.  Anybody going?  Looks like they're doing some smaller U.S. venues for a couple weeks until Europe.  So we'll see what happens......

I would love to see a STP reunion but not on VRs expense, they could go for a while do their own thing and then get back together - I really really hope they do because Velvet Revolver is the best the music has to offer at the moment, to me atleast.

Duff McKagan on Weiland and STP re-formation rumours

On Stone Temple Pilots re-forming:
?That?s the rumour that I?ve heard too, good for him. You can?t plan ahead in this thing and if you do you?re going to be disappointed. Don?t get me wrong, I love playing live and we love this band, but I don?t have expectations any more. This is a great band and I?m proud to be a part of it, but it doesn?t define me any more.?

The first part I understand , he is saying he learned not to expect anything or attempt to plan ahead as you get let down just roll with everything. But the last part is really kinda like WTF , maybe he feels like he didn't express himself through libertad , like it's "forced' playing. I'm not sure but that can only be a bad thing I see no positive light in that comment.

"lets say that.." doesnt sound good...

"Let's say that" makes it sound as if it's questionable as if that is the truth, or maybe Duff doesn't believe that.

"It doesn't define me anymore" implies that it once did and something has changed either with the band or his life.

I think it means like ok when he was in GNR , it defined his persona , the whole sex , drugs , rock n roll "bad ass" thing. VR started and it was who he was , but maybe libertad he felt was not him , he didn't express himself? I think maybe things have changed with both.

all in all it seems like there is no communication between the members of VR.

Slash is starting work on the third VR album in april

Duff doesn't know if they're doing a third album

Scott is doing an STP tour (venues are already on hold)

You are jumping the gun

Duff never said he didn't know if they are doing an album

Scott said to be on the look out  , nothing is confirmed. Where did the venues info come from?

Albeit it looks bad though

Billy Morrison said that "half of LA" knows that they have venues on hold for STP.

?I?m lucky I suppose,? said McKagan ?my passion is also my living. This band has allowed all of us who might have been relegated to ?you were in a good band but it?s over now? file to show that we are still musically viable.?

Despite having been a key member in what many consider to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time McKagan is still hesitant about what lies ahead. ?I never try to plan out my future. I?ve learned from experience,? McKagan said ?there are so many different lives going on within a band. Some people have to go back to a family and kids. I hope that we will make a third album I really do. But if we don?t at least I can say it was a good time.?
