Velvet Revolver dropped from RCA
Velvet Revolver have been without a lead singer since Scott Weiland left to reunite with Stone Temple Pilots, and have reportedly been having problems finding a new one (Sebastian Bach and Royston Langdon have been rumored as replacements). So much trouble in fact, that the band’s record label, RCA, has opted to drop them instead of waiting for them to find a new singer.
The band, featuring former Guns N’ Roses members Duff McKagan, Slash, and Matt Sorum, had been a moderately successful band (their 2004 debut Contraband moved 1.98 million units), but their 2007 album flopped (titled Libertad, it only moved 301,000 copies), and the band’s egos clashes with Weiland resulting in the break-up.
What this means for Velvet Revolver is uncertain (a folding of the band seems likely) but it clears the road for a full-on Guns N’ Roses reunion tour in 2009 (unlikely). [Blabbermouth]

damn it.
scott is the reason they flopped can't stand him. i bought the record just because of the other guys, but when they get the right singer all u sissy boy want to be rockers better get out of the way.one suggestion for slash call axl.
pack
i can't believe this happened
well i can ...they haven't put out anything in ages it seems and they haven't been going anywhere... but still!
axl must be having the time of his life right now, knowing that his sucky album's going to sell like crazy in a matter of hours and slash duff and matt just got canned by sony
ugh
i realllyyyy hope chinese democracy tanks
JesusisLord
Everyone hopes Chinese Democracy tanks!

Slash, Duff and Matt should join Axl again for GNR, i mean they were, are and always be the best band ever xD

Well, I liked Libertad, not to say I consider it one of the most musical albums ever listened to. End to end! Why it sold so poorly is a mistery to me. If, on the contrary, Axl's effort proves to be a commercial success, while a pice of garbage to my ears, then something's going really wrong ...
As for Scott, I can't say I'll terribly regret his absence. Let's see who comes next!

nahh.i dont agree to u guys sayin that they should join AXL again.duhh.axl is the problem why the "OLD" GNR breaks.AXL's attitude is the problem.hes not thinkin that the band gots it great members.duhh.maybe ill say yes??.IF axl asks for an apology.haha.XD
