Re: SCOTT WEILAND Is A No-Show At VELVET REVOLVER's SUNDANCE Concert
A Note From Scott
01.23.08
I truly apologize on behalf of the band for our inability to perform at the scheduled party during the Sundance Film Festival. I performed the previous night in Miami in support of the "A-Rod Family Foundation", and afterwards a jet was arranged to fly myself and a couple of the crew members to the festival, where I was looking forward to performing. Not only was I hoping to ROCK, but I also wanted to snowboard AND have some well...good and clean fun! Seriously, though...I even already had my "one piece" long johns on (no shit!!). Now...the problem was that the pilot of the private jet would not...I mean absolutely would NOT fly us to Park City due to the low visibility and poor weather conditions. We did everything in our power to make it happen. At last minute, Matt tried to hook up a flight from L.A. to Park City, but the owner of the plane could not find a crew in time.I'm sorry...we all are. Who knows...maybe this happened for a reason.

See i was digging the appology and explaniation until he threw in the "maybe it happened for a reason" - cos that starts to make it sound like he doesn't care.
Although i guess it could mean anything, like he was considering going back on drugs and that distracted him or something insane like that. But I'm starting to doubt if i'll see VR in a few weeks here.

Duff comments the no-show, rumors of an STP reunion:
Classic Rock just tracked down Duff McKagan, Velvet Revolver bassist, and quizzed him about VR singer Scott Weiland's recent 'antics'.
Here's what Duff had to say:
On the Sundance Festival:
'I sang It's So Easy and I Wanna Be Your Dog and then we were panicking a bit over what to play so Matt [Sorum] got up and sang Patience, Matt's a great singer, he really is. Why wasn't Scott there? Scott missed his plane, yeah, let's say that, Scott missed his plane'¦'
On Stone Temple Pilots re-forming:
'That's the rumour that I've heard too, good for him. You can't plan ahead in this thing and if you do you're going to be disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I love playing live and we love this band, but I don't have expectations any more. This is a great band and I'm proud to be a part of it, but it doesn't define me any more.'
Stay tuned for further developments.
Duff, like Slash, seems to be preparing for a possible VR hiatus, if not a complete disbanding altogether. Also note how he seems to discard the explanation that Scott "missed his flight". It almost sounds like there's more to the story than what he can say out loud without creating (additional) tension between Scott and the rest of the band.
But one doesn't need to read into Duff's comments to realize he seems uncertain of what the future may bring for VR.
