Scott Weiland: 'STP Wasn?t Meant To Get In The Way Of Another VR Record'

Notice he hardly comes to any of Slash;s shows to play drums...slash probably avoids inviting him best he can!

Uh, they just played together last week at the MAPS benefit..

[LunsJail]

I bet if Scott would not have done a STP reunion he would still be in VR right now and nothing would have been said about him being on drugs etc.

Agreed. Also funny how the drug thing wasn't a problem when he got arrested for it while they were making the first record.

i doubt that very much.  I saw them a day or two before Scott announced they were breaking up from the stage, and there was no chemistry left between them.  I think it was inevitable.

[m_rated96]

why are they suddenly so nice to each other? Maybe gearing up for a one song reunion at that festival?

i dont think the break up was that bad.  They all seemed happy to move on so its quite natural to see the hard feelings die down after 2 years.
Would love to see them do one song at the festival though.

I find it more intersting that he thought there was going to be some kind of GNR reunion in any way shape or form.

Seems more like a bull shit answer/excuse on his part.

Maybe you should go back and read what he said. He never said he thought there was going to be a GNR reunion. He said if he thought one would happen he would be fine with it.

?STP wasn?t meant to get in the way of another Velvet Revolver record. Slash and I were always straight with each other, and if it looked like there was going to be a reunion with Guns N? Roses to do festivals that summer, it wouldn?t have bothered me. I always thought that would have been a good idea.?


Thats what he said in a interview right? Well if he paid attention to any god dam thing he would have been able to tell that GNR was not going to reunite.
Joe

Seriously you cannot be this stupid. He never said he thought it was going to happen. What he said was IF he thought it was to happen he would be fine with it just like slash should have been fine with the fact that Scott was going to do another STP record.

I bet if Scott would not have done a STP reunion he would still be in VR right now and nothing would have been said about him being on drugs etc.

Perhaps but he should have only decided to do it if and only if the GNR reunion thing was going to happen. Not before. Things would have worked out better that way instead of how it happened.

If it somehow fucked up in the creative process in some way I am sure it would have been a much larger issue.

The 2 things have no relation what so ever. STP doing a reunion had nothing to do with GNR at all nor should it hinge on a GNR reunion. Maybe slash and co should have been a bit more mature given their age and not let it bother them but I guess the idea that STP would have been a bigger deal than another VR record was too much for them to handle.

Scott Weiland - Weiland: 'I Wish Velvet Revolver All The Best'

Rocker SCOTT WEILAND refuses to feel bitter about his dismissal from VELVET REVOLVER, insisting he wishes his former bandmates "all the best".

Weiland was kicked out of the group in April 2008 following a series of arguments with founders Slash, Matt Sorum and Duff MCKagan.

The drama has played out in the press, but Weiland is keen to clarify he holds no "resentment" towards his former co-stars - and hopes they can move on from his firing.

He tells Kerrang! magazine, "It was a great experience until near the end. I think we made some great music - and I actually prefer our second album to our first - and I don't hold any resentment towards any of the guys in the band. I really wish them all the best."

The band has yet to find a replacement for Weiland despite auditioning a string of singers over the last two years.

I said that so that they both could do their reunions at the same time and no one would be well stuck waiting for a answer from the other band or waiting on the other band members to come back (if the reunion did not happen)

Its just a little reasoning if you got a problem with that then fuckin say it!

Another interview with Scott conducted on May 11th.  He talks about the end of Velvet Revolver, and roughly says...

It [Velvet Revolver] was a great band, it was a difficult situation to be in, nearly everyone in the band was a superstar...coming along with that are rather large egos.

When Velvet Revolver started out it was a gang type of feeling...we all had similar life experiences.  People...it just got different.  It got where it wasn't fun anymore.  It was time to stop it [VR].

In light of what came out today, I think Maybe Scott was right all along.

Not only that, the Slash trip to Axl's house was for getting him to agree to the reunion. Azoff would have been the one who arranged the contracts and Axl would have been the only party opposed. The blocks all fall into place. This certainly wouldn't have helped matters in VR especially with Scott. Also, Slash evading the issue by saying he went to sort out some 'legal issues' would have been in regard to the contracts.

All this is known of course, it just wasn't clear to me who would be willing for a reunion from the GN'R side.

If all that is true, I'd say some people seriously overestimated Axl's willingness to reunite the old band.

Yes, long before. That was in 2005 even before the '06 tour when Merck was still manager.
