I ... LOVE ... LOVE Velvet Revolver ... but ...

Funny.  I kinda like Scott more now that he's developed this supposed lead singer syndrome. JK! 

Seriously though, it makes you wonder.  Maybe Slash, Duff, and Matt are the problem.  Axl distanced himself from those guys, now it appears Scott is starting to do the same.  I'm just saying........

wasn't the reason for travelling in seperate planes due to scott did some kind of solo performance?

Was it confirmed? and judging from the thread, there are more 'symptoms' of the 'syndrome' than that.

Brotherhood and love among bandmembers seems to be the exception rather than the norm.  Lennon-McCartney, Jagger-Richards, Townshend-Daltrey... those guys were never exactly best friends.  Maybe that tension facilitates the creative process?

I don't want to force anyone to do anything ... but a band is not just a business.  It should be friends together.  I mean ... I'm in a band, and I'm good friends with the members.

That's the "romantic" idea of a band.

But people have their own lives.....  Sometimes you might be in a band with your childhood friend but at some point you start having your own lives.

It's still a band and you're still friends. You just don't live in a shithole together anymore... 

Maybe you're right Jarmo ... maybe if they were together all the time, they'd fucking hate each other by now ... who knows.  I just wish that Scott would be more integrated.  He's a great songwriter and I love VR, as I've said ... but I see it as a worrying sign when the singer doesn't travel with, or spend any real time outside of the work, with the rest of the band.

I don't think they ever were as close as they wanted us to believe.

U get the feeling it Slash, Duff, and Matt all the time.  And Dave is always welcome, but seems quiet, then there is Scott....  Can you imagine drinking beers and shooting pool or playing darts with that guy?
