Rock supergroup Velvet Revolver has been struggling with lineup issues for quite some time now since parting with vocalist Scott Weiland. Conflicting stories on Weiland's place in the band have been prevalent for a year now, but Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash just made it public that the band is "very quietly" looking for a new singer.

Scott Weiland may have reunited with Velvet Revolver for a show early last year, but the singer's comments about getting back together with the band are not exactly having the desired effect.

While the remaining members of Velvet Revolver have been rocking out with their latest solo efforts, former vocalist Scott Weiland seems hopeful about the revival of the band and his potential return as the frontman of the currently defunct supergroup. In fact, he even suggests they are set to start writing new material.

Drummer Matt Sorum looks upon his tenure with Velvet Revolver as some of the best times of his career, but he definitely has some reservations about whether the band will continue.

Over the course of his illustrious career, Duff McKagan has been in a lot of bands — and he touched on pretty much all of them during a recent interview with FasterLouder, looking back on his stints with Guns N’ Roses and Neurotic Outsiders while looking ahead to his future with Loaded, as well as weighing in on where Velvet Revolver might be headed.

With his latest solo album ‘Apocalyptic Love,’ Slash has been busy on tour with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators but things aren’t running so smoothly for his other band Velvet Revolver.

The original Velvet Revolver line-up got together last Thursday to perform four tunes during the Benefit for John O'Brien at the HOB Hollywood. Ex-frontman Scott Weiland is back with his original group Stone Temple Pilots, who are getting ready for a 20 year celebration of their debut album "Core", and had agreed to this one-off show...

Four years after their acrimonious split, the members of Velvet Revolver reunited with lead singer Scott Weiland for a brief live set last night (Jan. 12) — and now a message on the band’s website is causing some to question whether Weiland could be back in the fold on a more permanent basis.

Scott Weiland is rejoining Velvet Revolver, but only for one night and one show! According to Blabbermouth, the former VR lead singer will perform with his ex mates for a good cause – the ‘Love You Madly: A Concert for John O’Brien’ benefit show, which is set to take place Thursday, Jan. 12, at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, Calif. In addition, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello

The long awaited return of Velvet Revolver may be approaching come 2012! The band’s drummer, Matt Sorum (also affiliated with Guns N’ Roses and the Cult), recently opened up about the current state of the supergroup that also includes GNR’s Slash and Duff McKagan alongside Dave Kushner formerly of punk band Wasted Youth.

Singer Corey Taylor is best known for his role in two big-selling bands (Slipknot and Stone Sour), and the same can be said of bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver). There’s a pretty good chance the next high-profile group for each of them will be a joint project, according to Taylor.

They have an all-star lineup and a pair of top five albums to their credit, so what’s keeping Velvet Revolver from soldiering on without departed vocalist Scott Weiland? According to drummer Matt Sorum, the band has tried — even going so far as to record an entire album’s worth of new material with Slipknot/Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor. But it hasn’t panned out — so far, anyway.
