Re: SLASH Says WEILAND Was Convinced SORUM Was Singing During shows
Guitar World spoke with Slash in New York on April 17 while he was in town to perform a benefit show with Tom Morello, Jerry Cantrell and Perry Farrell.
The guitarist discussed VELVET REVOLVER's split with singer Scott Weiland:
"We had gotten to that point where we were resigned to the fact that we weren't going to be working with Scott anymore, even before we left for the last leg of the tour," said Slash. "So when he said all that stuff onstage [at a gig in Scotland, Weiland announced to fans that they were witnessing the group's last tour] we were sort of surprised. Because we had no intention of breaking the band up. It might have been the last show for him, but it wasn't the last show for VELVET REVOLVER."
On the fact that Weiland released a statement alleging "certain individuals" were singing along with him onstage:
"Scott was under the impression that our drum tech was singing during the set, which was why he walked offstage at that show. We convinced him that wasn't happening, but then the next night he said that Matt [Sorum, drums] was doing it. He was firmly convinced that was happening, which it wasn't."
On the future:
"We've been writing, and there will be a new album. I've been recording some stuff at home, and I know that Duff [McKagan, bass] has gone over to Matt's to work on things. We also have a bunch of stuff we've jammed on at soundchecks. We'll get together sometime soon and begin laying stuff down."

Well it confirms Slash has been in NY pretty recently 
As for Sorum singing along, I don't get it, I thought he was meant to, isn't that why he's got a mic, to sing backing vocals?

Yeah, Matt sings backing vocals live, and he has since the start. I don't know why Scott had an issue with it all of a sudden.
Does that mean he was gonna start having a dig at Slash and Duff too, they sang backing vocals on some songs too?

It looks like Weiland was looking for any bullshit excuse to leave.
Re: SLASH Says WEILAND Was Convinced SORUM Was Singing During shows
its the same as it was with GNR....its ok to mention it an interview once....but to go on about it year in and year out....its really pointless and quite sad actually....
and yes, because of this, a lot more people know that STP are back together than they usually would, so it is generating publicity for them....
but what can you do....that's what they're like....
