    I thought he'd been fired for good a few months ago. I don't think anyone really cares anymore do they? They were finished a long long time ago!

    Slash announced on a radio show in Minneapolis that STP had fired Weiland back in December when Slash was asked about Weiland wanting to be back with Velvet Revolver, and he thought Scott was trying to get back into VR because he had just been canned by STP.

    Nobody wants to work with the guy except that Doug Green character.

    Album wise, yes. I saw them on tour twice a few years ago and they were fucking awesome.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    I saw them twice as well. While they were good, it didn't blow me away. Now, Velvet Revolver, that was awesome!

    Per Scott Weiland:

    I learned of my supposed “termination” from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press. Not sure how I can be “terminated” from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that’s something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday.
