LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Velvet Revolver founding members Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner announced today that they are parting ways with singer Scott Weiland. "This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100% committed to either," said Slash. "Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on."

I was just about to post this.

So let me get this straight....
Slash didn't have the balls to say the same thing about Axl in his book BUT can say shit like this about Scott?

Yea ok.

Sounds kinda like a backhanded comment from Slash! Oh well, bring Scott back home to ST MOTHA FUCKIN P where he belongs!!!

Agreed. Personal problems huh? Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. Guess with these comments they are taking Sorum's side. Not that it's surprising.

Oh well, bring on STP!!!!

Regardless if this is an April Fools joke, does anyone hate this lame day as much as me?

Well wait, it also makes it sound like Scott is getting kicked out...That doesn't sound right, I thought we all were under the impression that Scott wants out and is quitting, not being fired/kicked out.

I mean let's face it, the "core" guys of VR are obviously going to be bitter as all hell. I think we are in for more and more of this Scott Slamming. But who cares.. Let them say what they want; once STP reunites, their tour will destroy, and their new found success will send them into the studio for many new albums... I enjoyed the VR ride, but I'm off that train, and back to sitting in first class on this glorious new Flight.

Its about fucking time.

Now on to STP

"They are parting ways with Scott Weiland"...?

Interesting, I though Weiland parted ways with them a week or so ago!

Very Well Put!!

I was a fan of Velvet Revolver. That band stopped existing around the time Libertad was released. The last year or so, we saw "Velvet Revolver, LLC". And I am glad that show is over.

With the time difference between New York and Amsterdam, is it safe to say that Weiland has song his last note with VR?

BRING ON STP!!

It's 10:42 PM here now. I don;t know what time they went on stage, but my guess is around 9:30 so yeah, that show should be ending or over.

Crack the champagne!!!

Or beer!

Isn't Duff recording an album this spring with a sode project? Isn't Slash working on a solo album? It seems to me that it's not just Weiland who isn't 100% committed to the music.

Isn't Duff recording an album this spring with a side project? Isn't Slash working on a solo album? It seems to me that it's not just Weiland who isn't 100% committed to the music.

c'mon slash you wanna put a book out and try to be legitimate and all that crap telling it like it is stuff. And you're gonna throw this garbage?!?!

Let's just keep it real. Weiland unexpectedly dropped the bomb on you a week ago and instead of just going out and playing and saying "we'll continue w/o Weiland" you have to come out and take a shot at his commitment to music and to his fans?!?! and did you REALLY just say that his personal issues are in the way?!? what a hypocritical piece of shit. I bet you're the first to go shine up Sorum's needles for him.

Enjoy playing clubs now, or continuing the amphitheaters by paying out of your own pocket for unused tickets.

Guess what buddy, you didn't look at his "behavior" and say "because of this we need to move on." Weiland said "this is my last tour." You guys didn't get a choice to assess the situation and say you're leaving him behind.

It's like someone going to his boss and saying that he quits. And then the boss turne around and says "oh yeah well you're fired!"

Are you fcking KIDDING me!?!?! There's an ironic personal thing going on, that involves an almost identical type of backstabbing/being thrown under the bus, type deal, where I'm in Scott's shoe's, and these drug using lying pieces of crap, are putting all kinds of shit on me (i've been clean for awhile now), and saying how they stopped hanging with me because of it, when they exact opposite is true... it's such a crock... Here's how i feel about it, and i'll let KURT'S Words say it, since it say's it best-

"YOU CAN'T FIRE ME BECAUSE I QUIT!" though, i don't think the "Throw me in the fire i won't throw a fit" part will be how Scott feel's... I hope he turns those f*ckers out. Remember, Slash's book is already out. Scott's isn't. PLENTY of time to edit, and put some previously left-out truth's... AIR THAT LAUNDRY SCOTT. I "Volleyed" the serve in this stupid drama I'm in, and in a big way... SO burn em to the ground brother...

How about a Pay Per View Battle of the Bands

"Revolver" vs "STP" with fan's vote to decide the winner...
(He needs to prohibit them from using Velvet if he can, since he added that.) They are (and have been since the started) simply "Revolver" to me... (well, that's when I'm being nice...)

LYING SNEAKING CHEATING GUTLESS COWARDS

Fuck yes!

these boards make me laugh, it shoukd be the scott weiland forum, not stp, as the former is all that is talked about. The Deleo's are in it aswell! and I would have thought they were more important as they write the majority of the music, well dean anyway :P
