Scott Weiland

Happy in Galoshes 11/18

"There's no rules to the stuff I do on my own," ex-Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland says about his new solo disc. "I don't have to worry about radio playing it." The record ? a concept album about his tumultuous marriage ? was partially recorded by indie engineer Steve Albini, and features three-fourths of No Doubt. "I liken it to [Marvin Gaye's] 'I Met a Little Girl,' " he says. Unlike the straight-ahead hard rock of Velvet Revolver, the songs range in style from pop ("Missing Cleveland") to light electronica ("January Drum Machine Song"). "If it turns off the Stone Temple Pilot fans, so be it," he says. "There's art and there's commerce and at the age I'm at, I've accomplished the commerce part."

That fool is playing L.A. on Axl's birthday again.

I saw Weiland twice on his extremely short 12 bar blues tour

amazing!! - he was like a lion let out of a cage

kinda like the cops let him loose to only perform on stage

he definitly shines as a solo act...and he should stay there

STP was nice but it is over

VR sucked pretty much

don't miss this if you can regardless of what you think of stp and vr

just my thoughts

[Butch Français]

Well, good for him.  But what's this doing in Ex Gunners section? 

Maybe Admin was thinking of starting another childboard for the former members of VR but, since they don't have a cool nickname, he didn't know what to call it and Ex-VRers just didn't cut it so it wound up here. 

Ex-Revolvers?

SCOTT WEILAND Colaborator DOUG GREAN Comments On 'Happy In Galoshes' - Oct. 13, 2008

Los Angeles-based producer/engineer/guitarist Doug Grean, along with creative partner Scott Weiland, announces the culmination of their ten-year long project, Weiland's solo album "Happy in Galoshes", set for a November 25 on the duo's Softdrive Records.

Grean and Weiland collaborated on nearly every aspect of the album. One of the first songs Grean and Weiland wrote together in 1998 is "Big Black Monster". This track appears on "Happy in Galoshes", and is one of 16 songs on the album that Grean co-wrote, co-produced, engineered and mixed. Grean is also a talented multi-instrumentalist; he plays guitar, bass, lap steel, banjo, and keyboards on the album. On the road, he's not only a member in Weiland's solo band, but he also acts as musical director. Grean and Weiland are also partners in the independent label Softdrive Records, where Grean has produced and engineered five of the six albums for Softdrive artists. Also, the two co-own Lavish recording studio in Burbank.

"Most of this album was made just by Scott and I hanging out and experimenting in our studio," Grean reveals. "So it's not like a traditional record where there's a 'band.' Inspiration would strike, and one of us would just play something. When you're being spontaneous, you can't call someone up and say come on over and play the bass, that just slows things down and kills the vibe. So I ended up playing a lot of different instruments on this record."

Besides Weiland, Grean has worked with various notable musical artists, such as Sheryl Crow, Ricki Lee Jones, Glen Campbell, Slash, VELVET REVOLVER, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, THE CRYSTAL METHOD, Tim McGraw, Cyndi Lauper, Annabella Lwin (BOW WOW WOW), Corey Glover (LIVING COLOR), CAMP FREDDY, DJ Hurricane, and John Taylor (DURAN DURAN). In 2005, Grean appeared on the 47th annual Grammy Awards with VELVET REVOLVER as keyboardist, performing "All Across the Universe" with Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Bono, Steven Tyler, Brian Wilson, and Alison Krauss.

Somewhere just past immigration, Texas, USA

Barack Obama is the leader, the listener and the visionary with international respect to take us from the depths of where we are today and bring us to a new place where dreams are made, that place is call America.  A long time ago these same dreams, same visions brought us out of a similar darkness and united us together.  More to come...

It's our imperfections and our willingness to persevere that makes us stronger.
