Just yesterday I was saddened but not surprised to see Velvet Revolver kicking Scott Weiland out of the band. They claim that his lifestyle was almost unbearable, complaining about trips to rehab and that kind of stuff; but it’s only fair that the man speaks up for himself. dished Billboard reports that Weiland was very upset about the statement questioning his commitment to the group, when he said that the group was already dead, on…
Well, we’ve written a lot about Velvet Revolver, because one thing’s for sure: keeping a supergroup together is hard. Scott Weiland has always been a nut job really agitated guy, getting involved into all sort of problems. But the man’s a great frontman, you have to give him credit for that. So, ever since he drove drunk and it was announced that the Stone Temple Pilots were reuniting, things started going downhill. Still, things seemed…
Well holding a super rock group together can definetly be a challenge, especially when you’ve got Scott Weiland there. To be quite frank, it’s a surprise for me that they lasted so long together. But now, pressure’s starting: The Stone Temple Pilots are planning a reunion tour, Slash is preparing a new solo release, and many other things. Anyway, Scott Weiland stunned fans at last Thursday’s (March 20) VR concert in Glasgow, Scotland, UK by…
Velvet Revolver are definetly a mean green music machine. Their previous release, Libertad was acclaimed and was one of the best rock releases of the year. Blazing guitar parts, hard vocals and agressive lyrics made it an album which you have to listen to; and you can either love it or hate it, there’s no middle way.But the boys are not settling; instead, they are going on a tour and even planning a new album!…
They have a way of staying in the center of attention even without releasing music or without singing at gigs or in fact without doing anything. What happened is that some teenagers were performing an impromptu after-hours karaoke that resulted in a police response. That was because she believed she was being threatened over the loudspeaker. State police say the teacher at Booth Free School barricaded herself inside a classroom Wednesday when she mistook someone…
The fact is that the Guns are attracting massive publicity but they have not released anything for a long time. Numerous rumours have been started which are more or less true. A big part of the fans are interested in that so former Guns guitarist, now at [tag]Velvet Revolver[/tag], Slash wants to put things in the light with an autobiography. “It was the only format that I could find where I could get some of…
He was known as lead guitarist for legendary hard-rock act Guns ‘N Roses and his drinking is somewhat legendary. He is 42 and a father of two and he says that he came of age in a pre-Internet, pre-camera-phone era — one where entertainers were still entitled to a modicum of privacy. But technology is at growing fast and there is a lot of gossip around the most intimate details of a rocker’s life. The…
Possibly the most charismatic guitar player of all time, maybe except Jimmy Page, Slash from [tag]Velvet Revolver[/tag] and former [tag]Guns N’ Roses[/tag] is set to make an appearance in the best guitar simulator video game: Guitar Hero III. Guitar Hero III will be the third official installment in the Guitar Hero video game series, series notable for its use of a guitar-shaped peripheral to simulate the playing of rock music. The rock icon will be…
Artist name: Velvet Revolver Album name: Libertad Label: RCA Records Gender: Hard Rock Release date: July 3, 2007 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: http://www.velvetrevolver.com/ If [tag]Velvet Revolver[/tag] never made it to its second album, i would be any thing but surprised. I mean face it when you have such a conglomeration of stars and egos from the ’80 hard rock times, featuring ex-members of Guns N’ Roses and fronted by arguably the biggest ego of the grunge…
At the late ’80s heavy metal meant nothing but a good time. But then came [tag]Appetite for Destruction[/tag] and [tag]Guns N’ Roses[/tag] changed all that. The album is a dirty, dangerous, and mean record. They did that by going for a nasty edge to their songs and the lyrics made by Axl Rose make it very clearly that at the time he did not see much fun in the urban sprawl of L.A. and its…
