Don't worry, I don't think many of us were that excited to begin with.

i was and still am!  VR rocked!  particularily Contraband and i still think its very underrated
Im with you on that one man VR was fucking great I think the drummer should have been Steven though.

Steven? Did you watch Celebrity Rehab? I think it's obvious why Steven isn't in GNR or VR.

Slash really gave us false hope when he announced the meeting. I wish he hadn't said anything because it doesn't seem they accomplished much and now everyone's excited over nothing.

From the sound of this article, the guys think Franky is great but they are still holding out for someone that is amazing.

http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/%e2%80%9cscott-weiland-is-like-george-bush-to-me-%e2%80%93-i-like-him-now-that-he%e2%80%99s-gone%e2%80%a6%e2%80%9d/

Also, its not suprising to hear how much Slash wanted a break from VR considering how each of the members have been doing their own thing.

It might be 2 years to find someone like that with hopes that high for someone like that!!!

Shit!!!  I never realised that Slash was so pissed off in VR.  I hope they just get the guy they want!  No point in picking Franky if they dont really want him.

I don't think it's necessarily a case of them not wanting Franky, more that the timing isn't right and they're not ready to get back on the wagon and move forward.  Duff and Slash both seem happier than they have been in years doing their own things, so why mess with that?  I know for our own selfish reasons we want anything and everything all at once, but it's not worth it if their hearts aren't into it.  I'm glad the record has been set straight though.  I thought for awhile that we wouldn't be seeing VR for some time, with Slash's solo record not coming out till next year.  You have to imagine he's gonna focus on that and promote it like crazy when it comes out.  There's no room for VR right now.  So instead of giving people false hope that something VR related is going to happen, now we know, we must wait.

If you're waiting...don't. Live your life. That's your responsibility not mine. If it were not to happen you won't have missed a thing. If in fact it does you might get something that works for you.

U can tell Libertad isn't a Slash album


My problem with Slash is, even going back to GNR, why not say shit?

Why just sulk in private and be miserable when u could stand up for yourself and say "no, I don't want to do this"

like with the cover song "I Can't Get it out of mY head"  He didn't want to do it and got talked into it

this is your band and the fact that made the album over "messages" is a fucking travesty.

He is notoriously laidback though. but i agree!  Maybe he did behind closed doors?  But if he did, weiland never got the point! 
Also, from what ive read, Perla seems like a total bitch!  and probably has slash whipped lol!

 July 17, 2009 - Friday
   
new update

To all VR fans, the band had a meeting Monday & although we haven't found a new singer yet, this recent search has turned up a lot of really good singers, which is a step in the right direction. We're keeping our eyes & ears open & feeling really positive about our prospects for finding the right individual to front Velvet Revolver sooner than later. Although most of us have been keeping busy with personal projects, we haven't relinquished the quest. And, we are not, contrary to rumour, "waiting for a singer to fall in our laps." Lol

Sincerely,
Slash iiii||; ),

I think they needed to take a break-if they would have shot right back after Libertad with an album and tour I think they would have burned out or made the wrong choice-I think Slash had wanted to do this solo deal for years (as far back as when the last Snakepit ended)-it really is sounding like when he and Duff finish up the projects they will go full into VR-I don't think that was the case a year ago

Sebastian Bach just did an interview where he said (during the first go around)-they had given him a demo of 35-40 songs, and he rehearsed 5 hours a day with them-I would love to hear some of the stuff

But that's in reference to the first singer search around 2002, correct?

Yeah that seems to be what the above poster  was referring to.  Still though!  35 - 40 songs!

From Sebastian...

"Ask any musician, and they'll tell ya: one of the hardest thing about this 'business' is finding the 'right' band members. I can remember being in VELVET REVOLVER for about 15 minutes or so (about three weeks, actually) and the thing I loved about that experience (working with Duff McKagan especially) is that those guys had at least 30-40 songs on the demo CD Duff gave me, and all of us had one goal in mind: creating some great music. That's it. We rehearsed at Mates for five hours at a time. No one asked, 'How much am I getting paid to rehearse?' 'Who's paying my gas money to write this song?' etc. The subject of money never came up. We rehearsed, wrote songs and hung out together because we loved playing more than anything else, and are happier playing music than doing anything else.
