fred_carston Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 so are those two bands finished now ? since Weiland was so negative about AoA anyway maybe they were gonna continue with a new singer anyway. But I really miss Velvet Revolver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb91 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I really enjoyed the Art of Anarchy record but it seemed that Scott basically took the money and ran, it seems he was out of the band (and it seems a contentious issue whether he was ever really in the band) even before the record came out! If I remember correctly they were going to get a new singer for a tour anyway although I don't think a tour ever happened. To be honest without Scott I don't have as much interest in them, as much as I love Bumble Scott made that record great, without him it would have been a very forgettable record I think.As for VR, I can't really see them doing anything again. It's been the best part of a decade since Scott left. If the guys do get together with a new singer they should call it something new. However, I imagine if they wanted to do something it would have happened by now. "Where there's a will, there's a way" as the saying goes.

CardinalGunner Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Velvet Revolver hasn't been active for quite a long time, except for a one off show a few years ago. Wasn't expecting much on that front but I guess a reunion was always a possibility there.I don't think it would make much sense for Slash/Duff to continue VR with a new singer now.. if they dont' get back with Axl, they can start a new band I guess. Although.. Slash seems happy doing what he is doing with Myles and Duff is all over the place, even touring with GNR...I would prefer the DeLeo brothers retire STP as well, but clearly that was never their intention. Different topic tho. Edited December 5, 2015 by CardinalGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I dug both bands. Art of Anarchy's album was brilliant, although it isn't fair to give Scott all the credit. Those songs are quality compositions and much better than Scott's solo album released at the same time. Bumblefoot tweeted fairly recently about AOA writing new material, so I think they all still have plans and I don't think Scott's passing will change that. Velvet Revolver were dead in the water even before Scott died. Its unfortunate as they were far more appealing than Slash and Myles who have all the charisma and excitement of an old folks rest home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haters Gonna Hate Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Like them both a lot Art of Anarchy was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Scott's album Blaster that was released this year too is also pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love another album by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 If there was ever a future for VR, it was abandoned as soon as Slash's solo career became a bigger money spinner for him.Maybe STP could get together with Axl and call themselves The Stone Roses.The Wildabouts are definitely over. Guitarist dies the day before the debut album comes out, the singer dies on tour and the bassist is arrested in the aftermath. Most dangerous band in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Blaster is super fun to listen to. A real retro record. Art Of Anarchy is not my thing. Put mildly. But luckily, Scott left behind a lot of good music imo to listen to. Many great shows, and even the bad ones were entertaining to me.I can't imagine what his old band members are going through from STP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I do hope for them to put out some outtake stuff or live audio. There is the famed '03 El Rey show. They supposedly did quite a few more covers than ever got out. I'm pretty sure I heard tie your mother down and a black sabbath song were done for b-sides (same sort of idea as the cover of negative creep and no more no more). Is like to hear a compilation of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Descends Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Art of Anarchy wasnt necessarily signed to a label. Its one of those fun projects like Camp Freddy with an internet album. Theres no buzz necessarily... so a new singer wont matter either.Velvet Revolver was a very 2000-ish modern sounding band. The first album was definitely 'modern' sounding. Not something Slash is accustomed to. Its very different from Snakepit or his solo records.If VR continues... the sound/image will be based on what the new singer brings to the table. If its upto the other members... it will turn into a Slash solo project kinda sound... which makes it forgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
