Re: SCOTT WEILAND Is A No-Show At VELVET REVOLVER's SUNDANCE Concert
SCOTT WEILAND Is A No-Show At VELVET REVOLVER's SUNDANCE Concert - Jan. 21, 2008
VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland was a no-show for the band's scheduled performance last night (Sunday, January 20) at the 944 Magazine's party at Tao during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. According to PageSix.com, "speculation from inside the band's camp said the singer had missed his flight to Sundance for the performance, but that didn't stop his bandmates from literally asking the crowd if they wanted to have a go."
"It's was crazy, they were inviting anyone who wanted to get up sing," an onlooker told PageSix.com.
A short clip of VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Matt Sorum taking on the vocal duties for VELVET REVOLVER's rendition of the GN'R classic "Patience" during the Tao concert can be viewed below.

Weiland was expected to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom last Thursday (January 17), where his recent DUI case was to be continued. The singer was charged with driving under the influence of drugs after being pulled over by police in late November.
VELVET REVOLVER will begin a new U.S. tour on January 24 in Chicago, with dates confirmed through February 9.

Doesn't sound good. Add this to the STP reunion and it could spell trouble for VR.

This really does sound like it could be game over for VR.
If that STP reunion comment from Weiland is true - seems like he forgot to tell his bandmates about his intentions??
If that's the case then tensions between him and the rest of the band must have been pretty bad. I am assuming that the rest of the band was already pissed about the DUI thing and canceling/rescheduling dates costing $$'s. Maybe the heat got too much and Scott's decided to take his bat and ball and go home.

I think its safe to say that VR is dead. Looks like Weiland has moved on exactly like Cornell moved on from Audioslave--not telling his own band. Cornell didn't bail out on a tour in progress though.
If VR wants to continue for awhile without Weiland, they should quickly hire a singer to take his place, although they risk a fan backlash by doing that.
Might should just cut their losses now. They had a good run. First album sold millions and they won a grammy. Suffered a sophomore jinx, but so do a ton of other bands.

Took balls to perform as a band in that state, with a singer who basically bailed on you without telling. Whatever the case, it's trouble. Anybody else watch that hurtin' for the guys standing up their playing?

They would have had a serious case of deja vu!

At least Axl eventually shows up ... or makes enough of a tantrum you could gather when he's not about to. This whole business with Scott is sort of disturbing, not the least of which because of the new STP rumors and the fact he's seemingly fallen off the wagon again.
