3 Band members
3.Velvet Revolver was formed when three former members of Guns N' Roses, Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), and Matt Sorum (drums) joined to play a bar concert for musician Randy Castillo in 2002.They subsequently decided to form a new band that would bring the spirit of rock back to the mainstream.Izzy Stradlin was initially invited to be the band's rhythm guitarist, but both Stradlin and the band decided against this because of his aversion to lead singers and life on the road.The band recruited guitarist Dave Kushner, who had previously played with Dave Navarro and Wasted Youth.Kushner had attended school with Slash and had worked with McKagan in Loaded, the band in which he played before joining Velvet Revolver.The quartet then set about auditioning a lead singer, with VH1 filming the recruitment process.The resulting documentary was aired as VH1 Inside Out: The Rise of Velvet Revolver.Myles Kennedy (of Alter Bridge) declined an invitation to audition.Faith No More singer Mike Patton was also approached early in the process, but he declined the offer.Originally Weiland was wanted by the band but due to STP still touring he declined.After the band heard about STP's split in 2003, they were quick to hire the services of Weiland.Once he heard the material and offered his services as the lead singer, the band was formed.According to Slash's autobiography, Scott Weiland suggested the name "Black Velvet Revolver", combining something intimate with something violent, after Slash suggested Revolver.He liked the word Revolution, which he saw in the credits of a movie.From Black Velvet Revolver, Slash thought it was a mouthful and suggested "Velvet Revolver."They were considering lending a song to the soundtrack.Velvet Revolver recorded its first track "Set Me Free" for the soundtrack for the movie Hulk in 2003.The band also recorded a cover of Pink Floyd's "Money" which is featured in the movie The Italian Job.The band played its first live gig at the El Rey in Los Angeles in June 2003.It recorded its first album, Contraband, in the latter part of 2003 with recording complicated by Weiland's court appearances for drug charges and his subsequent sentencing to undertake rehabilitation.As of August 2005, Contraband had sold more than 2 million copies in the United States, and the rigorous touring in support of the album reached global scales.The band toured both the United States and Europe twice, while also performing in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.The CD had SunnComm's MediaMax DRM rootkit on it, exposing users to a computer security vulnerability.Velvet Revolver performed at Live 8, playing "Do It For the Kids", "Fall to Pieces" and "Slither."In 2005, a part of Contraband's "Dirty Little Thing" was inserted in xXx: State Of The Union.During 2005, the group announced that a second album was in the works.In December 2006, the band set Libertad (Spanish for "liberty") as the working title of the album.In September 2006, Matt Sorum confirmed via Camp Freddy Radio on Indie 103.However, on his website, Sorum later claimed that former Stone Temple Pilots producer Brendan O'Brien would be producing the album.In October 2006, Scott Weiland announced that Libertad would most likely be released early to late Spring in 2007, while a few months later Slash gave May 2007 as the expected release date."All of our hopes have even been elevated over the past three weeks", he said."We were really excited about six months ago, when we first began writing."So he was available during the exact timing.He flew out within a week and it has been amazing.Bassist Duff McKagan came up to me and said, 'You know, I didn't know what it was like to really have a producer before.After scrapping the original May 29 release date, Velvet Revolver settled on July 3rd to unveil its second RCA album, "Libertad."Compared to Contraband, it was a disappointment, with its first week sales being less than half of Contraband's.On June 21, 2007, Velvet Revolver performed in a concert at the 9:30 Club in Washington D."Slither" "She Builds Quick Machines," and "Messages" appear in a downloadable Velvet Revolver pack in the videogame Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock."She Builds Quick Machines" was on the game NASCAR 08.On their official website, Velvet Revolver gave a chance for fans to vote in a poll for the third single off of Libertad.MTV has recently reported that Slash told Illinois' Northwest Herald that the band will begin working on its next LP in April 2008.They began a tour of Australia, Europe and the United States, starting with a concert in Chicago on January 24, 2008.This led to Velvet Revolver cancelling their Australian tour which had already been postponed for 2 months.They returned to the stage on March 8, 2008 in Dubai for the Desert Rock Festival.Present)
Weiland stated on March 20, 2008 at Velvet Revolver's show in Glasgow that this would be the band's final tour.Weiland shot back by telling Blabbermouth.So don't attempt to stand in a man's shoes when you haven't walked his path."Recently, Slash hinted in an interview with Classic Rock magazine that, contrary to Weiland's assertions, Velvet Revolver will continue beyond its current tour.When asked "With Scott singing?"Slash replied "I have no comment on that", and laughed.It was announced on April 1 that Weiland had officially parted ways with Velvet Revolver.Later that month, Weiland performed with Stone Temple Pilots for the first time since 2002, kicking off their reunion tour.Bassist Duff McKagan has recently stated that the band has been working on new material inspired by the recent drama with Weiland.In a recent online interview Sorum revealed that the band is in negotiations with a "Big Name Singer", however no names were released on who the singer might be.Van Halen Induction
