Trouble has been brewing on Velvet Revolver's tour all year and things look grim for the future. In January, singer Scott Weiland failed to show up at all to a concert at Sundance. The band invited fans from the audience to jump up on stage and take his place according to a post by Sturgell. This week, VR drummer Matt Sorum describes the band's current situation by saying: "Being in a band is a lot like being in a relationship. Sometimes you just don't get along. I gu... MORE

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 ... MORE

It has come to my attention that I have neglected my MOG account like its some bastard redheaded stepchild and I apologize to it profusely. If my MOG were an actual living being (and I had the funds to make it up to them), this would be the time where I would buy it a pony, a dog or whatever it is the kids dig these days. The main reason for the neglect is school. College has taken me over and I have become its bitch, constantly studying trying in vain to better myself... MORE

VELVET REVOLVER - LIBERTAD – This record is more cohesive than their debut, partially due to the presence of Weiland's old STP producer, Brendan O'Brien.

yep, that's it, i absolutely love this song.

The sheer volume of concerts that I want to go to FAR exceeds my bohemian bankroll. I am hereby offering free space on my person, rent a space on my shirt or hat to suit all of your advertising needs. I will be like a human NASCAR car. Those things have advertising logos on EVERY available inch of them. I am 6'5, so I always stand out at shows...just think of all of the people I can reach just by going to concerts...think about it!

I can't decide which version I like better. But the beautiful thing is, I don't have to!

Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan cover a lot of ground in his recent interview with Mike Kerwick of NorthJersey.com. Here a are a few excerpts: On being sober: "You thought you were missing something if you didn't go out one night. You might miss the greatest party ever. That's just really kind of a teenage way of looking at things. I actually know people that still kind of think that way. They're in their 30s and 40s. Poor [expletive] people. My l... MORE

Is there a way to lock the different widgets in a certain place? Every time I leave the site and come back, it returns to the default settings. Any suggestions? Also, here's some Velvet Revolver to make my post worthwhile. B-)

Generally, it's interesting when you get Slash to open up. For years he's cultivated a frontman image while being the strong silent type. In a recent interview with Planet-loud.com, Slash explained his new group, Velvet Revolver's motivations. Planet-Loud.com: Going onto this record Libertad, what did you want to achieve with it? Slash: You know, for me personally, I didn't have any set goal as to what I wanted to achieve. I don't think I ever have. We just started wor... MORE

Have you heard Velvet Revolver's new release Libertad yet? It rocks! The cover of ELO's Can't Get It Out Of My Head was an interesting surprise and Let It Roll is the perfect opening track. I can't wait to see the these guys again. They put on a great show when they were in Charlotte a couple years ago.
