Would you have a problem with them keeping the name without Scott?

I wouldn't. It was originally Slash, Duff and Matt's project, and it wouldn't really bother me if they kept the name and had a different singer, even a different guitarist besides Dave. (Izzy maybe?)

Since the project had already started before Weiland joined, I don't have much of a problem with it. However, it all boils down to who owns the name Velvet Revolver. If its a huge legal mess, I suggest they drop it.

Kind of leaves a bad taste in the mouth. VR hasn't been musically successful or cohesive as a unit. I think a new name would help them.

They were called the Project to start with, and I believe it was Scott who came up with Velvet Revolver. I remember him saying something about calling themselves Black Velvet Revolver, but the took off Black so it wasn't a 3-word name similar to STP.

I could care less what they're called, as long as Slash, Duff and Matt stick it out and keep making music together.

I'd rather they keep it, but if it was Scott who came up with it then maybe they should ditch it.

Scott never was Velvet Revolver.  I think this is a rare case where the band is more important than the singer.

I think it would be lame to keep the name. If Weiland is officially out, time to move on. I know it's not so much the case here, but to a large chunk of VR fans, Weiland was the draw. Besides, he came up with the name in the first place.
