#4021 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Velvet Revolver "fires" Scott Weiland » 918 weeks ago
There you go folks. We have final confirmation: Scott is a tool.
#4022 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Velvet Revolver "fires" Scott Weiland » 918 weeks ago
I think this is a good step, this band still has so much potential, and I'm glad their not letting an erratic singer like Scott keep the back.
#4023 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » VR Without Scott » 918 weeks ago
Just read the band name part in Slash's book - Slash came up with the name Revolver, then Scott added Black Velvet Revolver, then Slash suggested just Velvet Revolver, which they decided to stick with.
So I guess Slash came up with the final naming rights?
#4024 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » VR Without Scott » 918 weeks ago
With a new name, it'd be starting from scratch again, which I don't think is fair to the work that the guys put into the band and building up the name.
Sure VR aren't as well know as GN'R as a brand, but they do have a bit of a following.
I think it would just cause more confusion to start another band name, but it also might turn into a GN'R situation with revolving members if they do keep it.
#4025 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash hints there will be a new singer » 918 weeks ago
That's cool to hear VR will stil be around, even without Scott, because it means Slash, Duff and Matt will still be playing together, and I think those 3 still have some good music left in them regardless of whoever sings.

Musically it sounds ok, but the lyrics seem a bit wanky. Still, I'll wait to hear more before writing it off.

I didn't see a thread on this great Australian band, so I thought I'd start one up.
For those that haven't heard of them, they are a great Aussie rock band that shit on the likes of Jet, Silverchair and Wolfmother, and here are a couple of live clips for you to check out:

Anyway, they are gearing up to release their first new studio album in 8 years, and it's gonna be great from what I've heard of it.
They've had a few lineup reshuffles recently (new drummer, new guitarist) as their founding guitarist Grant Walmsley unfortunately left. But everything seems to be sorted out now, and they are looking at putting out their new album out in May, with a huge national tour of Australia to follow.
If you dig kickass Australian rock n roll at it's best, be sure to show some support for the one of the best Aussie rock bands still around!

They were called the Project to start with, and I believe it was Scott who came up with Velvet Revolver. I remember him saying something about calling themselves Black Velvet Revolver, but the took off Black so it wasn't a 3-word name similar to STP.
I could care less what they're called, as long as Slash, Duff and Matt stick it out and keep making music together.

I wonder if Libertad's irrellevancy on the music world and essentially being a flop contributed to Scott wanting to leave to walk right in to a newly hyped band's reunion & probable album release.
Either way, it may be the best thing for all involved. As long as VR get a better fit for singer. Hopefully one who knows a bit about guitar & writing tracks. Dave Kushner may be a nice guy & everything, but I don't think he adds anything to this band. Gilby Clarke would probably be a better fit. I'm not trying to say he'd be a savior or anything, just that Libertad's guitar tracks were kinda weak & shallow.
Good point on the Libertad thing and probably true.
I don't care about Dave one way or the other but that's probably a bad thing. I wouldn't mind seeing someone else brought into the fold.
I like what Dave played on Contraband (from what I could make out in the bad mix), but I HATE his playing on Libertad. So much so, that if I ever listen to it, I turn the balance over to just hear Slash.
I'm sorry, but fart-sounding guitar doesn't make for good guitar tones, especially alongside the almighty Slash, who unfortunately hardly has any presence on Libertad anyway.

I just got a copy of this book from one of my friends and I'm about half way through it.
I haven't tried anything yet that I've read, but it's a pretty good read and I'd be willing to hear what more you have Randall, as I've had no luck with women lately! hehe
