VR breakin up!

[w.axl.rose]

i think this deserve a new thread

I was right at the front of the glasgow show where Scott Weiland broke the news right before Fall to pieces!

He said and i quote "You're at something really special tonight. This is the last ever Velvet Revolver tour"

Once he said that Slash, Duff, Matt and Dave all looked at each other. They sang fall to pieces then.. Scott goes over to the side of the stage and argues with the sound guy. After a couple of songs he threw his mic down and walked off. After a long wait Duff came out with the band and sang the start of its so easy. Scott shows up about half way through.. sang really half assed then gone again...

Really doesnt look good. Especially as the band at the start of the evening were late on by half an hour and stood waiting for Scott for about 10 mins on stage. Clearly all very uncomfortably.. Looks like its true guys. Straight from Scotts mouth.

Yep it's true...

Thank god they're finally getting rid of that piece of trash, I've pretty much had it with his "badass" routine


Just hope slash, duff and matt will stick together and make some great music in the years to come....

[fuckin crazy]

Yep, I wouldn't call him trash, but stuck up asshole comes to mind.

[Grouse]

Trash might be a bit harsh, waste of oxygen might be a better word , to be honest ever since libertad was released I pretty much became indifferent towards VR and that's mainly due to Scott...

[cfcsfc]

Sounds more as if Scott has taken it upon himself to make a 'decision' for the band.
I like VR, but Scott's been fucking them and the fans up recently. Don't really care if he decides to leave. Hope the others stick together.

[Genesis]

Figures. These guys have really bad luck with lead singers. Anyway, I hope they get a proper frontman and get on with it. Who knows? Look what happened with Queen and Paul Rodgers. You never know.

[fuckin crazy]

Top me, It sounds as if his judgement was impaired(for whatever reason). To blindside your bandmates like that is just fucked.

[Genesis]

To blindside your bandmates like that is just fucked.

That guy has too many demons to stay in any band permanently.

[fuckin crazy]

^The "Ron" is some evil shit.

I really wanted to like VR when they got together but I found their music to be pretty dull, what I disliked the most was the lyrics and vocals. I dont see why him leaving should be the end of the band because surely they can find a much more inspired singer/song writer who could help the other guys in the band make the most of their talents.

So are they playing the rest of the tour or not?  My friends are due to be seeing them in London next week, they'll be disappointed. 

[gnrjanus]

They'll be finishing up the tour to april first.

And I wouldn't be concerned right now.

It's the last vr tour before Scott goes back with stp for a couple of shows. maybe he meant that.
but still I wasn't there and couldn't see him saying in there.

it's to bad if it does happen goes all the guys have such great feelings towards each other and helping one and other out.
They all were ready for album 3 so I believe that's still going to happen. I't's not the end.

when your lead singer says this is the end and the last velvet revolver tour ever....I wouldnt say its something to "not be worried about"

amazing how some fans will spin this...it doesnt look good...even if they dont officially say its the end, if the STP reunion gets bigger and they go to make an album VR will be on the backburner for years..

its for the best...they need to get a new singer and continue..

[Wheres Izzy]

As soon as the STP reunion was confirmed I was pretty sure it was the end for VR. I really don't see them getting a new singer and starting over again but I guess we'll see.

[guns_n_motley]

even if they dont break up, I dont see them continuing in the future with the STP thing....what if it gets bigger and they stay out on tour? and then go to do a new cd??

VR will be put on the back burner and I doubt slash/duff will sit around waiting for weiland to come back..

[fuckin crazy]

and I doubt slash/duff will sit around waiting for weiland to come back..

...nor should they!

[guns_n_motley]

the damage control starts....Duff s saying "he meant its the last tour of the libertad tour"

ya sure

[Grouse]

^^ where did he say that, only seen this post by matt on his site


Hey all you great Fans,
So lastnight was interesting. Had a little band termoil on stage as you probably all could tell. Being in a band is a lot like being in a relationship. Sometimes you just don?t get along. I guess there has been more termoil lately I guess with the cancellations and all. It has been frustrating I am not going to lie. My career and life in Rock n Roll has come with its ups and downs. Unfortunatly some people in this business Don?t relize how great of a life they have. Touring the world, meeting great people and fans all over the world. And just playing music for a living. I feel truly blessed. But sometimes the road can be draining for some, being away from home and family Does grind on you sometimes. With all the travelling And different beds. Personally I Love this Shit and sometimes can?t believe I am so lucky to still be doing what I do for a living. Everybody could see who was unhappy lastnight but all I can say is Let?s keep the Rock alive people!!!! In this life u just pick up and keep moving. And don?t ever let anybody stand in your way. The TRUTH Rock On!!!!!! Matt Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

[mrlee]

thank fuck for that. i hope the guys continue and get a better singer and piss all over there average work with scott fraudland.

Hes a fucking waster, STP wernt even that good a band and he isnt a very good live singer. Hes a fuckin loser.

[fuckin crazy]

Naw, STP rocked, but i don't see the Deleo' putting up with a bunch of shit! We'll see.
