    Velvet Revolver kicked ass. Two great albums. There live show was amazing too see. Scott and Slash were a fine team, on stage together. Im sad to see they broke up. Lots of people on this board saying Vr was crap which i think is a complete joke. They came out made great records kicked ass live.

    Everyone is acting like kids. I liked Velvet Revolver but it's turning into a pissing contest - "I was always gonna leave" "No, we were gonna sack him before he left!"

    Wonder how long Stone Temple Pilots lasts.

    Velvet Revolver was okay; nothing cerebral, nothing particularly meaningful, just basic Rock 101 that was good to groove to. I have the CDs and I've seen them live and it was a simple good time and no more than that.

    STP follows the same vein to me. Nothing particularly special about them but they were successful with what they could pull off, riding the back of that grungy sound. The epitome of mediocre but mediocre has it's merits.

    This article pretty much said it well for me:What's The Big Deal With Stone Temple Pilots?

    The way I see it, Weiland just wasn't the right fit for VR. Both sides had prior experience with bands breaking down, and should have been able to handle this better. It's like they tried to be professional by finishing the dates, but that just drove their egos into more of a clash, to see who could abandon the other first.

    I guess the real test will be seeing if Weiland can make good on the 65 STP dates. If that falls apart too, it's pretty likely that he really is just impossible to work with. Same goes for VR with whatever new singer they pick.

    I've already got dibs and called the tour's end by my birthday in July.

    I could care less why VR broke up. The end result was STP getting back together and that is a win in my books.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    It will come out eventually but we may have to wait until after Axl dies and the record company puts it out.

    Scott is good lead singer. Slash is a great guitar player.

    VR was an 'effort', although it offered nothing new, nothing original. So for me, it never challenged my senses. In other words it sucked, almost as bad as STP's Tiny music album.
    Scott with STP is better. I really enjoyed the Purple album.

    I think this STP reunion is knee jerk reaction to being let go from VR. I don't think it will last.

    Actually the STP reunion was in the works prior to Weiland being booted out of VR; before Weiland went back to rehab.

    I highly doubt that.
