Scott Weiland Was A No-Show; Fans Invited To Come On Stage To Take His Place

Posted about 4 years ago
Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland was a no-show for the band's scheduled performance Sunday (Jan 20) at the 944 Magazine's party at Tao during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. According to PageSix.com, "speculation from inside the band's camp said the singer had missed his flight to Sundance for the performance, but that didn't stop his bandmates from literally asking the crowd if they wanted to have a go.""It's was crazy, they were inviting anyone who wanted to get up sing," an onlooker said.The following video is from the above mentioned night. It features Velvet Revolver and former Guns n' Roses drummer Matt Sorum taking over the vocal duties for a rendition of the GN'R classic "Patience." Velvet Revolver will begin a new U.S. tour on January 24 in Chicago, with dates confirmed through February 9. Weiland is scheduled to sing, but apparently YOU might be lucky enough to get the chance to come up and take a crack at the vocal duties. ??You never know.??Also,Scott Weiland has told MiamiHerald.com that fans should be on the lookout for a reunion of his previous band, Stone Temple Pilots, in the coming months. The singer made the announcement during an appearance this past Saturday (January 19) at an all-star gala event benefiting the AROD Family Foundation."MORE HERE":CH[CH]http://blogs.herald.com/scene_in_the_tropics/2008/01/baypoint-gala-r.html

  1. emit says LOL! See, they got the concept wrong. A karaoke. That's what they need - a G'N'R karaoke. For an extra charge, you can have Slash & Co. strutting their stuff on stage with you.
