Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

[jarmo]

They canceled a bunch of European dates last summer so they could go back home to promote it.

And Slash says it wasn't promoted....

^^Can't speak for anyone overseas ofcourse but overhere it wasn't promoted AT ALL not a single add/video/interview was ever shown on tv or any other medium but when Contrabnd was released it had some pretty big promotion overhere slither and fall to pieces were being played constantly on radio stations I even saw an add for it on tv a couple of times and believe me that's a really rare thing here in the Netherlands....

[COMAMOTIVE]

It was definitely promoted. Not in the way of the debut album, but that' s not surprising. The album just did'nt take off. Shit happens.

i have no problem with scott going to do an stp tour, it should be badass

let velvet revolver take the summer off, let duff and slash rest and then work on an album in the fall

I would rather them get in the studio and record and close the book on VR the right way.  Better to have an album to last for eternity than seeing the same show live for less than 2hrs

Yeah, but if they don't have a tour looming on the horizon with the knowledge that the new material they are working on has to work live, where is the motivation to make a great record going to come from?  What would be the point?

EHH GOOD POINT

An educated guess says if STP does in fact tour it will stir creative juices leading to label interest spawning a new record and all that process entails.

Considering those involved, I've always thought VR was an entity built for speed, not built to last.

If STP does move forward (and I think it will), I don't look for VR with Scott Weiland to be heard from anytime soon...

I think that you may be right and I also think that VR may find a new singer and not be over. I personally hope that VR finds a singer that has less baggage and a better disposition then Scott seems to have.

Scotts better in STP anyways..  VR = blah

I never dug STP , besides maybe Plush. VR was a solid rock band , something there isn't a lot of lately in popular music. Should be interesting to see what happens to the guys.

Having said that, do you think there is any truth to the original post in this thread...in some form anyway?

Which part?  About Farrell or Black?

[Ali]

If they are not actively looking for a new singer, the possibility of having to look for one must be in the back of their minds after hearing STP is playing together again.

I'm sure they've always had a "short list" of replacements if Weiland
indeed left for whatever reason if they intended to move forward without him.

That said, I seriously doubt either Farrell or Black would be on that short list.

I would venture to guess that is zero chance at all of either of those two being considered.

The question is then, who would they consider?  Josh Todd and Baz are both no longer available and I personally doubt that either one would be interested anyway.

Todd didn't work the first time and Buckcherry's "15" just got certified platinum, no chance.

Bach was never really a serious candidate in the first place and wouldn't be this time around either.

If they need a new singer and don't explore Kid Rock I will be very dissappointed.  Kid has come so far and his latest album is awesome!

Interesting for sure, highly doubtful though.

Billy Morrison would be a natural fit for obvious reasons, Shooter Jennings would be cool as well.

One thing is certain, it's going to interesting to watch unfold..
