Trouble Within Velvet Revolver?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

We all know Mrs. Weiland beat him up.

[Jim Bob]

This is wild.  This has real legs now.  What will Slash and Duff do?  Hmmmm..... 

Slash might do his solo album, Duff seems content with laying low.

or maybe they'll write the next VR album while Scott is on tour with STP and depending on how that goes maybe Scott would be able to come back and do the lyrics/vocals.

First one sounds more logical , I just don't see that happening.

VR and STP can co-exist.   There is more demand for STP, but they will most likely go on tour and remember why they went on hiatus in the first place.  Those guys don't get along.

Never crossed my mind , good idea though hmmm

[fuckin crazy]

Touring with them is one thing, but if STP start working on a new album, as has been rumored, I think it will be the end of his tenure with VR. Possibly, the end of VR.

And if Scott isn't clean, then all these scenarios are probably doomed to failure.

OR.....they start hanging out and recording and realize that they never should have split in the first place!  I don't know man, I'm all for optimism, but this just reaks to me as the beginning of the end for Velvet Revolver -

You thinking what I'm thinking!?

[Jizzo]

i think if stp has an album needing vocals in the can it would be amazing.

velvet revolver wouldnt be over if scott made a new stp album and toured. they could spend the time relaxing and preparing their own next album.

stp and vr can both survive.

look at APC and Tool

Truthfully, I doubt it.

I think if Scott gets back together with STP, it'll be the end of VR.  Even if Scott is willing to go back to VR, I don't think the rest of the guys would want to go back.

Honestly I'd be much more happy with STP getting back together, they had the magic that VR don't, even though VR is a good band.

I'd like to see Duff, Slash and Matt get together with Izzy and do an album.. they already have one written!

From the...

Speculation from inside the band's camp

It sounds like VR were not sure.

Yeah, I figured as much, but I was wondering if there were any rumors or anything else out there.

In December, some papers reported that Scott was involved in a drink driving incident, crashing his car. He had to attend court in January, which delayed the Australian tour.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Scott could be in both bands.

It worked with Tool & A perfect circle......

It did work for Tool & APC, but the difference is neither of those bands have someone with a persona as large as Slash's. Trust me, neither of those bands is exactly thrilled when Maynard takes a hiatus and joins the other one for awhile. Slash just doesn't strike me as the type to sit around and wait to be called by Weiland to get together because he's ready to make a third Velvet Revolver album

Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver Rumors

Mitch Michaels: Rumors and pithy comments have been flying in the Velvet Revolver camp, most of them pointing to a reunion of frontman Scott Weiland's old group, Stone Temple Pilots. Weiland said that a reunion with the STP boys was eminent, while Slash went further and said that Scott would be joining STP for a tour once VR got off the road. Meanwhile, VR's Duff McKagan didn't know what the fuck was going on. Take heed Revolver fans: this is how it started with Audioslave. A one-off Rage Against The Machine reunion, and suddenly your favorite supergroup is super history.

Sucks but that's what I think too.

[Smoking Guns]

What the fuck. Ugh, I like Slash, Matt, and Duff together.  I like Dave too.  VR needs new singer.

February 7, 2008

The Grammy-winning band, now on tour to promote its second album, ?Libertad,? plans to record its third album after singer Weiland completes a summer reunion tour with his previous group, Stone Temple Pilots.

?It won't impact Velvet Revolver,? Slash said of the reunion, ?not unless something more than that happens. Velvet Revolver is all-consuming.?

 

[faldor]

Well if STP is a  popular as they once were, which is more popular than VR today , that could be the end.  The question is, is the public clamoring for an STP reunion?  I know Matt Sorum doesn't think so.  However it doesn't seem like the public is clamoring for a follow up to Libertad either.

[Bodhi]

nah nobody cares about STP anymore...and I highly doubt there are alot of STP people out there who would buy a Weiland led STP album and not a Weiland led VR album...so i dont think a STP record will outsell Libertad....they should just put Libertad behind them and make a new record...I know they have 1 record left on this contract so they have to put out something..unless they put out a live album which I would also be happy with

[Eclipsed107]

You people are crazy if you think that a STP reunion won't get people's attention.

Hell, look at the attention that the AIC reunion got, and they don't even have the original lead singer.

I don't know if a STP reunion will last over time, but a STP reunion tour and album would be huge.

Just posted this in the "Velvet Revolver Tour Canceled" thread, looked around and didn't see it anywhere else...

Duff's "Loaded" MySpace page states that there will be a new Loaded album & tour in 2008.
