New supergroup with Bumblefoot and Scott Weiland, both have a solo album coming out in the coming months.

I am pretty exited about this band as a big Weiland fan, and Bumblefoot is pretty darn good also.



I made this thread for all discussion about the band.


Feel free to move this thread in the Ex gunners section or the Velvet revolver section if needed.

Sounds good. Nice to hear Scott again. He's a great lyricist. When has Bumble had time to do this? Seems to have been kept quiet. Look forward to hearing it. I really hope Ron's not out of GN'R such a great musician and person.

[Sosso]

A cool idea. I am very excited!

[overmatik]

Wow, I didn't see that coming! Scott has a new solo album about to be released and he was really making it seem that it would be his priority now. Also, if the album is recorded they did a great job of keeping it a secret. Let's wait and see...

True, and Bumble also made it clear that hes new solo album is priority.

My guess is that the album was written a year ago, recorded last summer.

Scott Weiland posted this on his facebook page.

''I just saw some press about a side project called art of anarchy that I worked on last year ? I wrote and put my vocals down for these guys and had fun doing a couple of videos too, we had a lot of fun. When they find their front man to hit the road and play some dates, check them out. In the meantime, if you want to check out where I?m at RIGHT NOW, check out my band, SCOTT WEILAND AND THE WILDABOUTS. I couldn?t be more excited about our new record, Blaster, that comes out March 31st. You can see us on the road starting in Feb, and at Sundance next week and SXSW in March. Here's some footage of us in the studio performing White Lightning and a new song called Circles.
- Scott''


So Art Of Anarchy are going to tour but without Scott.


So this sounds like a side project.

[Sosso]

Maybe just because of his solo album.

[jarmo]

Maybe just because of his solo album.

Of course. He has his solo career. He made it clear that that's his focus.
It would probably be confusing for his fans hearing him on the radio and not knowing what it was. His solo band's new single, or that other band he recorded with last year.

The timing was bad from his point of view. He's about to release his new album.

Man, the whole thing just started off on the wrong foot. There's already a bad vibe among the members a day after the announcement of the band... 

             
"Art of Anarchy is not competition or a threat or interference to what any of us are doing - it's a complement, an addition, one I'm proud of creatively," Thal said in an e-mail. "No need to minimize or undermine or devalue a project we all worked on together over the course of two years. I enjoyed working with Scott. And I'm looking forward to the Wildabouts album release, the Bumblefoot album release, and the Art of Anarchy album release. The more music the better, it's what we do, right? (...)

Jarmo, since this thread is in the Ex-Gunners section... Bumblefoot confirmed out of GNR?

[jarmo]

Well it's not "GN'R related" because he said he's focusing on his solo career.

Dont Cry much?

The song is allright but the video is quite bad i think.

this could make a strong record.

Not too into the metal style drummer and bass player.

[JAEBALL]

I can't help to think how much they had to pay Scott to do this... considering he now wants nothing to do with it.

I'm a big fan of Scott as a performer...so it has my interests based on that only... yes the video is definitely a rip off of Don't Cry !

[LongGoneDay]

Cool. I think it?s got potential.
Scott?s voice sounds great as always, and musically it?s better than I was expecting.
Not a huge fan of Bumblefoot, but like his playing here.
Disturbed is definitely not my bag.

I took Scott distancing himself from AoA more as he wants the focus to be on his current project with the Wildabouts, not that he was ashamed of the material itself, but who knows.
I?m not going to pretend I know what?s going on in that guy?s head.

[overmatik]

Could this video have more cliches? Also, Scott looks like he doesn't belong among the other guys, but the song is OK.

To be honest, if the album gains any momentum and they are offered money to do a tour I can see Scott joining them. The cold reality is that Blaster failed miserably and the tour is going very slow...

I'm sure they would be able to play to much larger audiences than the ones Scott has been playing, especially if they play STP and VR songs.

[Sosso]

Ron could have done the vocals...

Scott says band was a scam from the beginning 

Were you surprised when the band Art of Anarchy, a project you only did vocals for, put out a press release saying it was a new supergroup that you were a member of?

No. Actually I wish I could say I was surprised, but I wasn't surprised. It was a scam from the beginning.


Did you ever actually, other than the photo shoot, work with those guys or did you just lay down vocals in your studio and send it off?

No. I had them send me the files and I worked in my studio with my engineer and I wrote the lyrics and the melodies and I sent them back. I didn't even know what their names were.


You just got the music and agreed to do it and you didn't even know who they were?

No. I had no idea who they were.


There was just an album that needed vocals and you had some free time and said "why not?"

No. I was paid to do it. But they were an unsigned band and they're still an unsigned band. Hey. They're gonna put it out on the internet and as fate will have it they don't even have a lead singer. I'm not worried about it taking away any thunder from The Wildabouts.

[overmatik]

Oh boy, Bumblefoot must really be regretting getting Scott involved in this project. Ok, we got it, Scott's pissed by their bad timing coming out with the press release before the release of his album, but that's going too far. Calling the band a scam is disrespectful and unethical. 

And people still wonder why he was fired from two bands and is now making a living playing nostalgia shows for 200 people in bars...

How was it a scam for him to get paid and to APPEAR IN A MUSIC VIDEO with the band??

Scott's not happy about the timing obviously... but his comments are pure ridiculousness... It doesn't make Ron look bad...it makes himself look bad.

Love Scott as an entertainer... but he has time and time again proven hes a douchebag.
