Artist: Velvet Revolver

No booze at a Motley fucking Crue show? Jesus fucking Christ. That must be like having sex with a condom made of nails. I mean, no booze at a Motley Crue show is like no handjob at the Asian masseuse place. Why the fuck am I there, then? I was at a Motley Crue show sober once. [...]

Stone Temple Pilots have announced additional dates to the North American leg of their reunion tour.

Stone Temple Pilots reunited earlier this year, shortly after frontman Scott Weiland split with Velvet Revolver . Stone Temple Pilots (more...) ShareThis

The Velvet Revolver soap opera continues, as official sources announced that they are still loking for somebody to replace Scott Weiland. This comes as a shock, at least to me, because the word was out that the former Spacehog frontman was already the man for the job. It really gives you a bad feeling when you write something that turns out to be incorrect, but I can definitely say it wasn't our fault. The reports suggesting Royston Langdon is in line to become the new singer of Velvet Revolver were not just rumours. Perhaps this was [...]

Thanks to a report in yesterday's edition of The Sun , rumors began to circulate that Lenny Kravitz had been tapped as the new frontman for Velvet Revolver . While the U.K. paper's only evidence behind the story was an apparent jam session between Kravitz and the former members of Guns 'n Roses, much of the internet took the story as true and ran with it, and understandably so. Velvet Revolver is already essentially a group of all-stars, just imagine the sounds that would be produced if the 44-year-old, New York native [...]

Lenny Kravitz debunked rumors that he would be giving up his solo career to join up with his former high school classmate Slash in Velvet Revolver. If ever there was a rock star that seemed perfectly suited to be ensconced in velvet, it would be Kravitz. However, as Lenny tells Rolling Stone, "I know and love the Velvet Revolver guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band.

Taking a break from the Virgin Festival posts to bring you some other stuff. A thousand points to Nike for acknowledging the best song (and most ignored of all the singles) off the Killers' first album Hot Fuss in their new commercial. The Killers - All These Things That I've Done [ iTunes ] Likewise, a ton of bands have released new songs about and related to the Olympics this week to iTunes. I haven't picked up any of the songs yet, but expect future [...]

The truth quotient of the rumor that Lenny Kravitz would be replacing Weiland as the lead singer of Velvet Revolver has plummeted from 38% to zero, if Kravitz's just-issued statement to Rolling Stone is to be believed. "I know and love the Velvet Revolver guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band," he told the magazine. Looks like bloggers everywhere will have this story to kick around for a little longer! But where will it go next? Now Kravitz has joined [...]

I gotta say, I'm loving this "Who will be the new singer for Velvet Revolver?" guessing game. I'm probably having way more fun with all the rumors than I will with the actual band once they do announce a replacement for Scott "My Days on this Earth are Surely Numbered" Weiland. The latest probably-not-true bit of [...]

Like the Timex Social Club, I spend a lot of time lamenting the rumors that surround me every day. How do they get started? And where do they get crazy? In Truthmongerer, I'll try to suss out the kernels of truth in the rumors that are taking up airspace in gossip columns, blogs, and our tips inbox. THE RUMOR: The new lead singer of Velvet Revolver is none other than Lenny Kravitz. TRUTH THRESHOLD: 38%. LIKELY TRUTHS: [...]

Se rumoreaba qe el cantante actual de Spacehog , Royston Langdon , pasaría a ser el frontman de Velvet Revolver pero esa versión fue desmentida por Duff McKagen . Más allá de que Langdon colaboró con el grupo que se separó cuando Scott Weiland se fue, McKagen le dijo a Billboard cuando le preguntaron al respecto que se están tomando el tiempo necesario para determinar quién será la persona indicada pero que Langdon está descartado. Además también declaró que el grupo fue muy inspirado por [...]

Velvet Revolver-related factoids that you can slip into your happy-hour chatter. 1. Ex-Spacehog vocalist Royston Langdon will probably not be the band's new lead singer, despite the guys getting along famously . 2. The band is working on new music, and feeling closer than ever now that Weiland is falling into drum risers that don't belong to Matt Sorum . 3. Duff McKagan hasn't heard those Guns N' Roses tracks that leaked in June , claiming ignorance about blogs, BitTorrent sites, or any of those other places on the computers where one can find illicit files. [ [...]

When Axl and I went to see the reunited Stone Temple Pilots in New Jersey a couple of months ago , it was nothing short of very disappointing. A wasted Weiland stumbled around the stage all night, mumbled incoherent between-song banter, flubbed lyrics, and generally looked like a mess. The performance was completely lackluster, and Weiland was nothing like the charismatic rock n' roll frontman he was as recently as last summer with Velvet Revolver. Apparently two months' time hasn't changed very much for Weiland, as fan-filmed footage (below) shot in Phoenix last week showcases another embarrassing, drunken mishap. [...]

I just wanna be clear, right off the bat, that this is just me playing "What If?" I'm not breaking a story, I don't have a source, it's Monday, it's a slow news day, and I just got to thinking. I don't want this to be like the time that I said it might be cool if Whitfield Crane joined Anthrax and then some putz put it on Wikipedia and asked Crane about it in an interview , and asked as though it were a bona fide fact or even a real "rumor." THIS IS [...]

Jim Louvau of the Arizona Republic attempts to keep a straight face watching Scott Weiland: The lengthy set opened with Big Empty from The Crow soundtrack. Dressed in a grey suit Weiland stumbled around the stage and fell into drummer Eric Kretz's drum kit which confirmed he is now officially the Amy Winehouse of rock 'n' roll. When he did sing he often forgot words or changed them. "Conversations Kill" quickly became "Masturbation Kill." The singer's incoherent rants in between songs were cut off by his band members starting the next song to stop [...]

For those that are interested, Velvet Revolver might be back and running. If you recall, Scott Weiland left the "supergroup" months back, to tour with his former grunge band, Stone Temple Pilots. Left stranded, the remaining members tended to their own business as summer progressed, with the promise to find a new singer . That day should be pretty soon, at least if Entertainment Weekly has any truth to it's word. EW.com has learned that Royston Langdon —frontman for Spacehog (who had a 1995 hit with "In the [...]

The question that was on the lips of millions of people has now been answered; Shirley Halperin of Entertainment Weekly made public the announcement that band fans were waiting for more than a couple of months already. Royston Langdon, frontman for Spacehog and also the estrange husband of Liv Tyler will be the new singer of Velvet Revolver. He performed some jam sessions with them, and everybody got along just great. In a recent interview, drummer Matt Sorum gave an update about a frontman, but revealed no exact names, just stating that it was going to [...]

Blabbermouth (via Entertainment Weekly ) reports that Spacehog vocalist/ former resident of Liv Tyler's vagina Royston Langdon (I feel like that name should be followed by the words "The Third") is in the running to take Scott " I'm So Strung Out I Can't Even Take My Coat Off Like a Big Boy " Weiland's place as the new front man for Velvet Revolver. In terms of brilliance, this is idea strikes me as being somewhere in between hiring Tripp Eisen to host your daughter's bat mitzvah and fucking Tommy Lee without a condom, but, [...]

What with the heat and the humidity, you probably forgot all about Velvet Revolver's search for a new singer—which means that the time is right to note that Spacehog's Royston Langston is now in the mix for the gig, with Entertainment Weekly reporting that jam sessions between the former Guns N' Roses members and the former husband of Liv Tyler were "successful." (Now there is a rock and roll adjective.) "They all got along great," a tipster told EW . "It was really a refreshing change for the band." And given that Matt Sorum hasn't [...]
