VR breakin up!

[lynn1961]

As of this moment, yes & yes.  As for tomorrow or next week - who knows? 

[D]

Yes


Name a reunion tour that didnt lead to a new album etc.


Will VR wait 2 years on Scott?

[Wheres Izzy]

I wouldn't say the nail is totally in the coffin just yet but it's lined up and the arm holding the hammer is waitin to swing down.

what was that all about Matt singing in one of the songs (?) and the rest

Matt sings in some of the songs ... backing vocals.  Now, I'm sorry ... I LOVE VR and Scott is a VERY talented performer ... but he's hardly the most solid when it comes to being in key all the time ... I've always been a fan of certain singers but they don't always have the best live vocal ... it's about the energy etc.

Well ... anyways, Matt sings backing ... very well I'd like to add.  Matt has a great voice and does a great job.  However, I think this comes back to Scott not wanting anyone doing any vocals on the albums except him ... and he doesn't like hearing someone else singing on stage with him.

Sorry, but Matt does a fine job, as does Duff, of singing backing, and Scott has no reason to bitch.  I put this down to HIS ego.  But hey ... don't get me wrong, I still think Scott rocks ... I just think he's got a bad attitude about this whole situation.

its done....they are just finishing the dates though I would assume...scott is done with them..

[Dr. Blutarsky]

its done....they are just finishing the dates though I would assume...scott is done with them..

It would appear that way. With each posting from band members this theory is backed up even more.

What a shame though. I really liked the musical progression they made on Libertad compared to Contraband. Was hoping for a 3rd album..........

[fuckin crazy]

what was that all about Matt singing in one of the songs (?) and the rest

Some people, who were at the Glasgow show, have "said" that the gain on Sorum's vocals were so high that it was hard to hear Wieland's vocals. Hence, the argument with the sound tech.

[Smoking Guns]

Did Slash, Matt, and Duff kind of sell out when Scott didn't want to work on the songs that Izzy helped Co-write because it sounded too Classic? I bet a million bucks that CD was bad ass and Weiland was scared he couldn't do it justice. 


IF I AM VR, I GET A BAD ASS ROCK SINGER, LET IZZY WRITE THE LYRICS, AND RELEASE THAT ALBUM AT THE END OF THIS YEAR TO FULFILL THE RECORD COMPANIES 3 ALBUM RULE AND TOUR BEGINING OF 09 FOR THAT ALBUM.

[NicoRourke]

Funny how some of you guys are now happy that Weiland's on the go

A few month ago the same people were bashing a lot of HTGTH members for saying the same things you are now.

[Genesis]

Funny how some of you guys are now happy that Weiland's on the go

I don't think anybody's 'happy' to see Weiland go. I would rather see VR stick together, but I can't say I'm really surprised that it has come to this. Also, Weiland is the one who has to leave. You don't think that if Matt left, Duff and Slash would continue to work with Weiland, do you? I think not.

[W. Adam S]

I didn't think Weiland was right from the get go, he's not a rock n roll singer, even his 'look' was different from the other guys.  I was surprised by his appearance at the Liverpool show the other night, he looked a lot better, his teeth have been fixed, he's grown a beard and he was dressed well. He was also laughing and joking with the other guys, so for the first time I thought Scott looked like he really belonged in this band    How wrong was I 

[greendog]

I just love Duff for going ahead and playing Its So Easy. Hes got a cool voice. Fuck Weiland, give Izzy a call. Duff n' Izzy can share vocals any time

[coolman78SLASH]

wow! this is kind of fucked up, to be having members of a band releasing harsh statements about other members is really uncool, and not so mature, no matter what your reason is.. I mean, quit the band if you hate it, or stay and shut the fuck up, because what are the fans supposed to do in a situation like this??

[gnr2k6]

again ill repost what i put on the vr forum.....i must say im not impressed with them.....i WAS their biggest fan and even know some of the guys but to be honest 1 perticular member just is a twat-should have realised it sooner.....
few people here have to realize that a few members of the band are being stupid pricks no matter how u look at it.....they really dont care about no matter what they say.
their egos have fucked everyone over here.......theyv lost a lot of fans and have made stupid statments on stage and off for no reason and left fans in limbo.
instead of being professionals-which they make out they are-they are behaving like this.
one member said about how gracious he is to be doing what he does or whatever......yeah right ok.....
contradiction NOT  addiction is something that springs to mind.
iv lost all patience with this band......its one thing after another......
i wasnt gonna speak out but fuck it thats the truth someone had to say it.
whatever happens the egos are laughing all the way to the bank and whats worse the real truth of the matter is ,yes scott is going back to STP but really the other guys most likely wish they could go back to a former band.
thats my thoughts and feelings.....brutal yes but true.
if they wanted to sort things out they could have instead of making snide remarks about each other on websites and such.....its childish and they only have ach other to blame so if people wanna slam them for it ,in my opinion its warrented.....you cant tell half a story to the press knowing the fans (the people that pay their wages!!) are gonna read it, and  get worried by it.
its obvious more is going on behind the scenes but saying half the story to us and not telling the rest just isnt right....and all this to hit back at another member of the band.......when really when your in the same hotel you could just talk it out there without all this.

was good while it lasted but what a way to screw things up and throw them away.
VELVET REVOLVER RIP.....

        SLASH: 'This Is Not VELVET REVOLVER's Last Tour' - Mar. 25, 2008
VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash has dismissed reports that the band will split up following its current European trek.

During the band's March 20 concert in Glasgow, singer Scott Weiland apparently told fans they were "watching something special ... the last tour by VELVET REVOLVER."

Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, Slash said, "Well, let's put it this way ? this is not VELVET REVOLVER's last tour."

During the same interview, Slash said it is unlikely VELVET REVOLVER will support LED ZEPPELIN on a world tour but has stopped short of ruling it out completely.

Rumors linking the two bands emerged last week after VELVET REVOLVER bassist Duff McKagan said that the band "have" the slot.

But Slash has told Newsbeat the band is concentrating on its next album.

He said: "There's been a huge rumor going around about us opening for them and I think that was something that was taken out of context.

"I think as far as ZEPPELIN doing a tour, that remains to be seen.

"I saw Robert last night [Saturday, March 22] and he's got his solo thing going on and as far as VELVET REVOLVER is concerned, we've got another record to do and we're not even thinking about that."

[CheapJon]

wonder if scott will front them

[gnr2k6]

cant see it.....especially after matt was insulting him to fans at the meet and greet on sunday.....

[fuckin crazy]

Good to see some other members are finally speaking out to calm some of the fears of the fans.

[SpiritDave]

cant see it.....especially after matt was insulting him to fans at the meet and greet on sunday.....

Where'd you get that from ?

[Smoking Guns]

I am glad we are getting another VR album.  Who will be singing on it is unknown, but a new album will be what we need. 3rd's the charm!
