Velvet Revolver To Part Ways With Scott Weiland

[Falcon]

I'm sorry, but that looks like a cover up.

Could be I suppose, but until proven fact it's just heresay.

Who was the one who started throwing rocks?

Depends on if you think Scott's "anouncement" at the Glasgow gig was a rock or not.

Bottom line, I seriously doubt Matt/Scott's relationship had much to do with the final outcome. 

As I stated before, Slash's visit to his former bandmates house created the initial band unrest with the STP reunion being the death knell.

I think he went to greener pastures and the other shit is just an excuse.

I agree.  I find it ironic that Scott mentioned money as the only reason he had to stay in VR.  I would be willing to bet he's making tons more off this STP reunion than he did in the last year of touring with VR who eventually scaled back to clubs due to poor ticket sales in the arenas.

To a degree, sure.

STP reconciliation was gonna happen regardless, no matter what factors hastened it along the way.

Exactly!!

[SpiritDave]

Both.


But Matt was acting all innocent in that interview.

We know what Slash has done. Those things could piss off his band mates.

So you believe that this is all Matt and Slash's fault?  Don't you allow Scott to take any blame?

You know ... Matt has a LOT of friends ... The Cult asked him to come back for an album and tour ... if he's such a twat, that wouldn't have happened.  He gets regularly asked to jam with people.  He's got a lot of high profile friends. .. people like him.

You have NO idea what Sorum is like as a person.  I reckon he's a lot nicer than you think.  In fact, I bet he's the kind of friend that if you act well to him, will be there to stand by you.

Scott's always been known for his erratic behaviour... and he split with STP in hardly the nicest situation.  Scott dissed STP when he left and now he's dissing VR.  And I'm sorry, but if you think this is all down to Matt and Slash based on a couple of small excerpts in the news ... you really are more stupid than I thought

[jarmo]

No, he asked if I thought it was Matt or Slash.

I think it's both in addition to Scott, who's a pompous asshole.

Good for him.

And you.

Well, we at least agree on Scott   And ... before anyone says I'm only saying this now, take a look through my posts ... Scott has fucked me off a lot recently ... before this drama happened.

And yes ... good for Matt ... but you didn't answer to me about it ... so you know I'm right   You can't justify your hate for Matt

Wrong, there's a big difference between clubs and the venues VR were playing, atleast where I'm from that is...

Definitely ... club tour... bah ... I saw them at the Hammersmith in London ... hardly a club!  It's freakin' massive!

I have my opinion based on what I know, and you have yours.

To say you're right because of your limited knowledge is kinda ridiculous.

Just like saying I'm right. Which I never claimed in this case. 

I saw them at the Hammersmith in London ... hardly a club!  It's freakin' massive!

Maybe that explains your opinions and posts.

Your reference points are a bit different..... Hammersmith Apollo massive?

I guess compared to the Barfly....

One thing ... I was saying I was right about the fact that we don't know any more than we read in the press.  Other than that I wasn't saying I was right about what I think about Matt ... I have the same info you have.  Neither one of us is right unless we know factually.  So no, what I said wasn't ridiculous.

Second ... Hammersmith Apollo is NOT a club... and can stand a fucking SHIT LOAD of people.  So ... no need to compare to the Barfly ... and we just compare to a single human being standing in a large club.  Compared to that, which is what the issue was... the Hammersmith IS massive.

Sorry, don't know the size of the venues in Europe.  I can say for sure that there's a difference between their US venues played in the fall and the ones this past winter.  Maybe clubs was the wrong word.

Oh right. You just have to add the "I'm right" to every post.

Even if it's something insignificant like "we don't know anything really, you know I'm right!".



I guess it proves that you're the kind of person who has to be right all the time.

If there where pro-matt stuff on the GN'R section or any other section i'd understand. But on the VELVET REVOLVER section it's no surprise.
