If Slash really does a guest star solo album, one can only hope Cornell & Patton lend a hand. Who knows what Cornell thinks of Slash from their touring days. The screwing inflatable dolls onstage bit could either be a fond memory or a lifelong deal breaker.

While VR's future definitely seems to be in question right now, these guys are certainly capable of buckling down & cutting another great album. If the band does fizzle out, at the least, I'd like to get a live album that shows them at their best. As for Slash, he's pretty huge again & it'd be great if he could drop a guest star solo album. I'm sure all the big and/or interesting names would be down with a Slash collaboration.

Oh, don't worry. Our fearless leaders will come up with some reason to fuck with Iran. There's too much oil there not to.

Traces of pot ending a rock stars career? Never heard that one before. But seriously, I'm sure Weiland has been given advice in these matters before & knows that losing his license is better for himself than getting another drug charge. Something's up here. Career junkie crashes his car in a one car accident, police think he's under the influence after he fails sobriety tests, guy refuses to take a drug test. I don't think smoking some weed a couple of weeks before hand causes one to fail sobriety tests. But we'll all find out soon enough I suppose.

Hmmmmm.........Why would a supposedly sober Weiland be afraid to take a blood or urine test? When one gets a drivers license, you sign the paper saying the police can test you for alchohol/drugs if they suspect you to be under the influence while driving. If you refuse the tests, i think you lose your license for a year or two(not sure in Cali). Why would Weiland want to lose his driving priviledges for such a longtime if he had nothing to hide?
