Slash: 'This Is Not Velvet Revolver's Last Tour'

[Falcon]

Its going to be Robert Plant's son or the guy from Dark New Days which at this point both sound better than Scott.

A bit speculative and subjective there Smoke?

[Ali]

Concern for the third album commitment is overblown - big time.

Multiple record deals are usually done to the sole benefit of the record company and can be deemed null and void by them (RCA) at any time generally.

Relatively speaking, it would be stupid for RCA to do anything more than put minimal monies into any future VR release for contract fulfillment purposes - IE, maybe a "live" album release with low production costs and little promotion.

But, still given Slash's comments, I can't help but wonder if they are already thinking of going ahead with, or perhaps more likely, without Weiland.

Ali

With that in mind, I would think a Weiland-less VR would be in search of a new record deal.

I am not familiar with the technicalities of their recording contract.  Would they be able to continue as VR without Weiland?  Would they even want to continue with their current label and deal?

Questions I am curious about.

If there is a third album itll probably be a live one, wasnt there talk before libertad came out of a live album in the works?

[Wheres Izzy]

They have so many b-sides it would be easy to fill up another album with just those. Tack on 2-4 live tracks I'm sure they also have at the end and there you have album number three. The 3 album deal thing is a non-point if you ask me. I can only assume Slash saying that this is not VR's last tour means he himself at least is open to the idea of getting another singer or he is in major denial about the whole mess OR he is just trying to cover up some of the ugliness currently going on.

Wishful thinking.  Have you heard both these guys though?  My goodness, such fresh air. And they both have range.  Falcon, I am a dreamer. I am no longer a logical and objective poster.  I have jumped the shark.  I really like the band.  Scott has been the weak link since the begining.  Even with Set Me Free, which I love, but could have been so much better with a better singer.  Slither is Scott's best hard rock moment.

No clue on specs of their deal here either although I would suspect RCA
would have little interest in a Weiland-less VR completing their current deal.

Well, companies gave a shot a Gary Cherone fronting Van Halen.  Weirder things have happened.

Weirder things......


Carrie Underwood, who knows the words to all VR songs and everybody including RCA is happy.

[mrlee]

however, they have a three album deal, and they've only done two....so it comes down to the mechanics of the contract...if scott is not a hired gun as far as the record company is concerned, then they could let him walk.....but if he is....that breach of contract could cost them millions....so perhaps what slash meant by that comment was that scott will come back to end his stint as per his contract...

I'm sure the third album will be a live album, no way this band is going back in the studio anytime soon with Scott no matter what Slash says.

There must be some b-sides and stuff they can use.

I should think so, look at all the songs that didnt make the libertad cut, that are actually better than any of the material on the album.

[guns_n_motley]

sounds to me like they will continue without Scott..

the 3rd record will probably be a live record...

Carrie Underwood just sold 7 million copies of her first album.  And she needs VR because...?

i'm sure slash would love to do a song with her on his solo album

[overmatik]

It would be weird Scott going back to the studio with Matt. Everything now is just especulation... But a new singer is the more likely to happen.

[Falcon]

It would be weird Scott going back to the studio with Matt. .

Beyond that being unlikely, there's also Camp Freddy ramifications as well.

Both Matt and Scott are "core" members with CF as well, bet I know
which one of the two won't be around for their residency at The Roxy in LA in May....

Didn't Scott join later?

That would be better IMO, they don't really change their song smuch live plus I really wouldn't want to hear all those Contraband songs again, ugh.

Yep, sure did.

Billy Morrison and Dave Navarro can be heard talking about the Sorum/Weiland/VR stuff on the CFR podcast from last Saturday on www.6767.com, think its about 15 minutes in.  They don't say much, just some light hearted speculation.

Hal Ozsan is the guy they need to get! Back to some real rock n roll. He was the founder/songwriter/lead singer of the up an coming LA band Poets and Pornstars but he recently quit for some reason.  Watch the video below and see what you think...

Just like in the other thread I like it.  Are you Hal?  Or Hal's friend?
