Weiland Fires Back At Sorum: 'Ego And Jealousy Can Get The Better Of Anyone'

[COMAMOTIVE]

Sorum appears to be the a-hole in many inter-band spats

Why Weiland had to do this publicly is beyond me, but this band needs to just die now

[guns_n_motley]

thats the problem with supergroups....youve got Weiland who thinks hes a grunge-god because he fronted STP...and Sorum thinks hes amazing cause he was a hired gun in some big bands...heads clash...

theres no album sales/crowds in touring to make it worth it(like other bands)

You make it seem like he was anti GNR anti Axl , Sorum isn't being an ass when he was making that comment it's just more of a natural thing something he was thinking. Really if GN'R back in 89-90 asked you to be in their band the last thing you where thinking of doing was epic piano songs.

Supergoups doen't get together by the pleasure of playing, but for commercial purposes, that's why they always fail...

I'm sorry but could someone catch me up? This is the 1st I've heard about this. What did Matt say to begin with?

Once, again, I'll say it...I hate the term "supergroup".  What you said is bullshit.  Bands end.  People move on and do other things.  There's no commercial purpose about it.  Are you kidding?  This is what they do.  This is their living.  Ok?  They move on and do something else.  What do you expect musicians to do?

Crosby, Stills & Nash are a "super group" that has been around for 40 years.

But those guys were built on hippie ideals and good music.

It's even better when Young jumps into the mix.

I don't really get all the hate for Matt. Sure the guy can be a tool, but he seems to be the most laidback and level-headed about this. He was just like "yeah, we're having some issues, but it's only rock n roll".

Then you get Scott having a big hissy fit whinge like a teenager blogging on myspace or something...

I know who's side I pick.


I just hope out of all this Slash, Duff and Matt stick it out together. I still believe they've got some good music left in them.

Love him or hate him but Sorum is livin the dream

why does everyone seem to wana pick a side on this? you werent there, you dont know any of the members personally, so how can you pick a side? its always the same, its the same with gnr too, its either, "axl's an asshole, i love slash" or "slash is an asshole i love axl" now its just the same thing but with vr "scott's an asshole, i love matt" or "matt's an asshole but so is scott" or whatever the fuck it is, how do you know? they both have their own side to the story, and i'm sure both sides have an element of truth, but then again what do i know

Great post!  It is very hard not to lean a certain direction.  You are right, we don't know the truth.  But Scott put himself in this position with his stupid rant.  So I don't know.

POLL: WHO?S TO BLAME FOR THE CURRENT VELVET REVOLVER DRAMA?
Thursday, March 27th, 2008 at 11:10am by Vince Neilstein

It?s been quite a shit-storm in the media lately for Velvet Revolver. First Scott Weiland declared on-stage during a show that ?You?re watching something special? the last tour by Velvet Revolver,? catching his band-mates off-guard. Matt Sorum then took a thinly-veiled swipe at Weiland, Weiland retorted, and Slash came back with his usual, ?let?s all just play rock n? roll, dude!? rhetoric.

It would seem that a breakup is inevitable whatwith all this crap and the Stone Temple Pilot?s reunion, though Slash insists he?s looking forward to the next record. So whose fault is it?

Who?s to blame for the current Velvet Revolver drama?

    * Weiland ? that egomaniac has lead singer?s disease
    * Matt Sorum ? he should stick to fashion design
    * Slash ? he should get real and realize this band is done
    * Who gives a shit about this band?
