Talk about a backstab! Yesterday, we were telling you how Scott Weiland was fired from STP, and how he actually found out about it from the press. But there’s more drama here; ironically, just a day before this, he was giving an interview, saying how the band only needs some “fresh blood”, and how “no one’s ever fired anyone from STP”: “STP has not broken up. I haven’t quit. I haven’t been fired. We’re talking…
Duff McKagan, ladies and gents, former bass player for Guns and Roses and Jane’s Addiction, currently singing with Velvet Revolver and Loaded scraped together a list of 10 things that you should and shouldn’t do if you want to make it big time in the music industry. “I must say there’s really nothing I’d chance about my story thus far. But it may be helpful if I could dispense a few dos and don’ts to…
Whoaaa aren’t we loving this!! After the Velvet Revolver soap opera, after going back to lifetime love STP, Scott Weiland decided it’s time to move on in his musical carreer. Again. After releasing his second album, he spoke to USA today about that. According to him, writing songs that would become hits is the least of his priorities at the moment. “There’s a beauty in being part of a band, when there’s equality and trust….
Sad news for Velvet Revolver members and fans. A few months ago their lead singer, former Stone Templar Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, got sacked by the band, but after failing to pick a replacement (Sebastian Bach and Royston Langdon have been rumored as possible solutions), it seems that now Velvet Revolver has had its contract revoked with its label, RCA. The band performed pretty well, during its short time span existence. VR’s debut, “Contraband”, sold…
The Velvet Revolver soap opera continues, as official sources announced that they are still loking for somebody to replace Scott Weiland. This comes as a shock, at least to me, because the word was out that the former Spacehog frontman was already the man for the job. It really gives you a bad feeling when you write something that turns out to be incorrect, but I can definitely say it wasn’t our fault. The reports…
The question that was on the lips of millions of people has now been answered; Shirley Halperin of Entertainment Weekly made public the announcement that band fans were waiting for more than a couple of months already. Royston Langdon, frontman for Spacehog and also the estrange husband of Liv Tyler will be the new singer of Velvet Revolver. He performed some jam sessions with them, and everybody got along just great. In a recent interview,…
I was just scanning through Blabbermouth, a few moments ago, when I stumbled across a post, that just made go all WTF?! Apparently, during a more or less familiar interview for Norway’s NRK, the KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons confirmed that him, as well as co-founder Paul Stanley will retire from the band, then jokingly or not, he confessed he’s planning to keep the band alive forever. It seems it’s all part of a diabolical master…
It’s official mates, STP are back together, and the Weiland saga continues. After a five-year breakup and nearly eight-year absence from the concert scene, Stone Temple Pilots will reunite for the North American tour. Monday, the band members (Singer Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz) made the details of their North American tour public. The tour will include 65 gigs and it will begin in Ohio. “The story’s not…
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…
