Scott Weiland Is 'Completely Open' To Reuniting With Velvet Revolver

[Estranged85]

I would argue that since Scott nor anyone from STP has come out and denied what Slash said that there's some truth to it.

No one has called Slash out about it because he got the news from one of the STP members. Did some of you people actually think that Slash got this news from one of the roadies? At this point Scott has been fired from STP I have no Idea if they will reinstate him or not.

Slash got the news from an STP member? How do you know that? Did Slash say he got the news from a STP member?

Semantics guys - he said/he said at this point.

Weiland's getting ready to go on the road as a solo act shortly so that should tell us all something.

He has been on solo tours before so it's not like it tells us he has been fired.

You are correct about Corey, Slash was the only hold out. But you are wrong about Scott none of the other members want to work with him either. If they did they would be doing it by now.

They're not going to work with Scott if Slash doesn't want to. 

Remember last May when it was "announced" VR was getting back together:

Slash added, "I talked to Dave Kushner and he said that he and Scott had some conversations at some point about getting back together.

From Duff last fall:

?The time away has made me realise how much I miss that band. I just hope to play with Slash again. When me and him play that rock n roll thing ? with Matt who is one of the best drummers ever ? it?s special.

They did the mini-reunion benefit show for John O'Brien last year:

But Slash has made it VERY clear there is no way Velvet Revolver will reunite with Scott Weiland.  So that's that.

Again, semantics.

Fired/not fired - who cares?

STP is an inactive entity for now and the foreseeable future so does it really matter if he was axed or they're choosing to take an unannounced extended break?

A front man fired can always be rehired, a band on hiatus can always reunite.

I care because I'm a fan of STP.

Thanks for posting this. I knew Duff was for a reunion but I couldn't remember where he said it.

[LunsJail]

As much as I don't think it's going to happen, I would like to see them get back together with Scott. It would as least be interesting. More so than anything they're doing now.

Understood.

Fan nonwithstanding, fired/hiatus makes little to no difference in the business of music these days.

As long as there's cash on the table to tour there's always the possibilty/probability of reuniting regardless of how things appear to have ended.

I know you're talking about STP here, but this could apply to Velvet Revolver as well.

To a degree I suppose.

Dean Deleo needs Weiland a helluva more than Slash does but both seem to have had enough of Scott.

For now at least..

Dean may not have the celebrity status that Slash does but I think Slash needs Scott just as much tbh, right now he is just too bitter to accept it. It's pretty obvious that Slash had a lot more succes (album sales, played bigger venues etc) when he was in VR than what he is doing now with Myles Kennedy (at least here in Europe)

Like LunsJail said, at least a VR reunion would actually be interesting unlike what they're all doing now. I'll have to agree with that.

the sad part is that slash is actually playing in bigger venues now than 5-7 years ago with vr

Not in Europe he isn't. VR headlined Roskilde Festival when they played in Denmark in 2005. Next month Slash and Myles are playing in Denmark in a venue with room for only 2000 people.

cool. my judgement is from finland where hes about to play to sold out crowd of 10 000 people (needles to say im not a part of that 10 000 people and have no interest to be) and when vr came to the same city in 04 they played in a arena with 5000 people.

gosh i miss vr...

[Estranged85]

Yeah I'm not going to his and Myles show in Denmark, I have zero interest in it. If it was VR who were playing I'd be there in a heart beat though

Exactly. Would the buzz of a VR reunion generate enough $$$$ for Slash to give up the Conspirators which he is making a killing on since he solely owns everything

I don't think so.

That and the added bonus of not having to deal with an unstable singer with issues far beyond front man disease.

[Top-Hatted One]

yep

[Falcon]

Apparently Scott's on tour solo doing ST"S "Core" and "Purple" in their entirety.

As noted in the thread - translation: STP and VR have no desire to play with him at this point.
