Scott Weiland: Velvet Revolver R.I.P.

Blabbermouth | Read Full Story >

Blabbermouth:

“As for our fans — I will sweat, bruise, and bleed for you. And will continue to do so until the end of this tour. However, you deserve to hear VELVET REVOLVER playing… not certain individuals singing along to get a muddied up sound. God forbid — could one imagine if I grabbed a guitar and started soloing along with Slash? That would never happen because I know my place. It’s a shame… we were a gang. But ego and jealousy can get the better of anyone. I wish the best and plan to annihilate the stage in the last few shows.”

[...]

According to several fan accounts and online media reports, Scott Weiland stunned fans at last night’s (Thursday, March 20) VR concert in Glasgow, Scotland, UK by dropping a huge hint the band’s time may be up.

He told the sell-out crowd: “You’re watching something special… the last tour by VELVET REVOLVER.”

Looks like the search is over for Scott Weiland’s replacement. Jeffrey Light of Sanctuary Artist Management (Velvet Revolver’s high-power management team) announced earlier today that the lead singer of NYC based MEAN VENUS has already begun the process of taking over vocal duties. Known merely as “J”, Light says the MEAN VENUS front man has everything Weiland had and more. An accomplished songwriter in his own right, Velvet Revolver are excited to explore a somewhat new direction with the virtually unknown frontman.
