| Quote: | SCOTT WEILAND STATEMENT:
After reading the comment by Duff, Matt, Dave and the illustrious "GUITAR HERO," Saul Hudson, a.k.a Slash, I find it humorous that the so called four "founding members" of Velvet Revolver, better known to themselves as "the Project" before I officially named the band, would decide to move on without me after I had already claimed the group dead in the water on March 20 in Glasgow. In response to Slash's comment regarding my commitment, I have to say it is a blatant and tired excuse to cover up the truth. The truth of the matter is that the band had not gotten along on multiple levels for some time. On a musical level, there were moments of joy, inspiration, fun... at times, but let's not forget the multiple trips to rehab every member of the band had taken (with the exception of one member, no need to mention his name). Personally speaking, I choose to look forward to the future and performing with a group of friends I have known my entire life, people who have always had my back. This also speaks to my commitment to my music and my fellow band mates in STP and to the fans who I feel would much rather watch a group of musicians who enjoy being together as opposed to a handful of discontents who at one time used to call themselves a gang. |

I first read about this in the printed non-online magazine of Entertainment Weekly from last week. I was quite happy to hear about him getting back with STP. I really never have liked the stylizations of the original Guns & Roses, and as much as I thought that Weiland made them sound much better, he really does his best when he's able to call more shots, and when he's in a band that's willing to be experimental. The other members of Velvet Revolver/old-guns&roses have always went with that straightforward "we've gotta be a bunch of badasses" kind of rock, and no matter how much talent they may have, to me it's usually wasted on trying to cling so strongly to a "let's be badass" standard that they can't see anywhere outside it. Weiland has never struck me as one of those "badass" types--he puts on a show, but the show has never seemed to try to go for that typical standard.
Stone Temple Pilots--I wonder when they'll come out with new material. I'm very much looking forward to it.

I think it's so true what Weiland said:
