It’s the single most burning question on the minds of concerned Americans today. So what am I referring to – McCain or Obama’s choices for a vice-presidential running mate? Nope. I’m talking about who will fill the rather large shoes left behind by Scott Weiland in Velvet Revolver ... read more |

It's hard to tell whether Weiland’s latest solo work is already a nail in STP’s second coffin, or if it’s leftover fallout surrounding the singer’s ejection from Velvet Revolver.

Rock n’ roll assassin squad Velvet Revolver may be joining veteran heroes Led Zeppelin on the road, should the elder group decide to solidify their plans.

Following several stints in jail that included arrests for purchasing crack cocaine, a 2003 stint in rehab to avoid DUI charges, narrowly escaping a domestic abuse charge after going batshit on his wife, another DUI bust in November and ditching one of his own gigs last month, Scott Weiland does the unthinkable: he threw his own ass back in reha ... read more |
