I'm going to remove the unsourced section claiming that VR played with Josh Homme at the Bonnaroo festival because I can't find any record of it having happened anywhere outside of Wikipedia (where it's unsourced) and I notice something of an edit war going on in the article's history with one person (69.182.25.159) regularly adding unsoruced and untrue info linking Josh to VR, which then gets reverted. I'm assuming this one just got missed before. Danikat ( talk) 07:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Anyone got a source for it hitting number 10? Can't find a trace of it. PMBO 15:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
It didn't. the music vid was released in the UK in support of the EP release in the UK. The song could only get in the charts on downlaods, and it hasn't hit the top 200 yet. GrimReaper75 14:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I added it into the assossiated acts because two former members are in VR now.
Someone should add that their performance was panned by critics, Slash messed up the intro to ain't talkin bout love.
That is,however, merely a matter of opinion.

I saw the new album being added to the article and I thought I'd look it up to cite a reference and found these sources:
( Davehard 12:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC) )
The album is expected to be released in November. I believe the release is Tuesday, November 7, 2006 or November 14, 2006.
Look for the new album the first or second week in November.
according to slash the new album 'Libertad' is to be realesd in may 2007 not november 2006
Libertad showed up on the Internet on June 23, 2007. The store date is July 3rd, 2007?!? 24.68.69.28 22:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
The previous edit showed Dave Kushner as being an ex-member of Suicidal Tendencies. While the All Music Guide shows that he has appeared on a Suicidal Tendencies record, it doesn't show him as a member of the band. [1] It shows that he was a member of Wasted Youth and Dave Navarro's band. The VH1 biography for Velvet Revolver [2] shows that he was also a member of the Electric Love Hogs. I have omitted any reference to his membership of Suicidal Tendencies until this can be substantiated.

this should mention the plagiarism suit filed against them " http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=103190"
Under the main article heading "Contraband," it says:
"The band consequently declined an invitation to tour with KISS after learning that Poison would be a part of the bill, in an effort to distance themselves from being lumped in with bands from the 80's who had re-grouped at the time to make a buck; Velvet Revolver were out to make the statement that they were a new band. The members of Poison, naturally, were far from impressed"
It then gave a source. I checked the source and it says something like that, except it wasn't Velvet Revolver, but rather Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue didn't want to be lumped in with 80s bands.
Quote: "Nikki Sixx has a hard-on for Poison for some reason. I can't figure it out. I really don't. At one point he didn't want to be affiliated with the bands of the '80s."

Probably worthy of mention, Scott Weiland says that the band will probably be breaking up. Doesn't sound official yet, but sounds like it'll happen at this rate.
Can i just add that the article of the break up was posted on April Fools day and is only on paragraph long. Is someone taking the mick? I reckon so —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.92.181 ( talk) 14:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

A new section should be created for after "Split from Scott Weiland" for, I dunno "Search for new singer" where everyone could put rumored replacements, etc...The aforementioned section needs to end with Scott leaving, not random wanderings about who the next singer will be.... -- Kitrina192 ( talk) 23:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
This statement appears on the page: "On July 31st, 2008 Royston Langdon, ex-lead singer of Glam Rock band, Spacehog, was announced as Velvet Revolver's new lead singer by Entertainment Weekly" I could not find on Entertainment Weekly or any other news site that Langdon was taking over Weiland's spot. All they say is that he's on a short list. This site confirms such: http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/07/royston-langdon.html What do you think? Coolmanwc4 ( talk) 02:36, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

You guys got any actual evidence of these rumours, like sources? I've noticed a couple of vocalists linked to the role who I've never ehard of before, which leads me to think that someone is just making crap up if they aren't actually that person trying to scam a little extra publicity from the band's pending future ... Nearly famous writer ( talk) 04:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
The intro to this article seems to have a bias against Scott... For instance, when it says that Weiland was fired for erratic behavior and so forth, well... That was what Slash, Duff, and Matt said themselves. Menwhile, Weiland announced that the band was over at a show prior to his supposed "termination" as lead singer. In any event, the introduction should be more neutral... towards both parties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.93.249 ( talk) 01:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I have an idea that would allow people to view various prospects for Scott Weilands replacement in an easier way rather than just posting sentences in the "Split from Weiland" section... How about someone ends the "Split..." section with a closing paragraph about Scott leaving and then they form a new section titled something like: "Rumored replacement singers" or something like that. And that section can have an opening statement saying "Numerous individuals have been considered for scott weilands replacement; they include:" and then below, write a list of every person who has been rumored. It is easier to find names rather than searching through a section of the article that doesnt even have a title relevant to the fact that VR is looking for a new singer... Anyways, please let me know what you think on this idea... I am open to criticism and it doesnt bother me if you disagree with this idea, just let me know, thanks. Zach —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachslash ( talk • contribs) 08:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Neil Patrick Harris as lead singer? I'm pretty sure that was a bad joke by someone...no evidence of it elsewhere that I've seen. Kaeljae ( talk) 02:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
that would be the best band ever —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.155.45 ( talk) 04:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
It may just be because of Scott Wieland's involvement with the group, but a bit of Velvet Revolver's music sounds very grunge-y to me. I'm just going to throw this in the air and see if it sticks; Would it be worth adding "grunge" as one of their genres? 138.217.108.26 ( talk) 05:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
De mi coresponsal para los velvet revolver:pues neta k son la mamada —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.132.96.58 ( talk) 00:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
definitely not grunge, its hard rock. grunge is defined by self introspection , morbid topics, metal influenced, certain scale modes. For example, the first STTP album Core was definitely grunge, despite not being from seattle. Shhsbavavaa ( talk) 07:58, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Can the fact that Matt invited Slash and Duff to contrbute to the Soundman soundtrack be considered the earliest incarnation? It seems no different than a simple "guest" appearance by them (e.g. Duff's debut solo album, Slash's Snakepit, etc.) and it didnt seem to lead to them forming a group. The earliest incarnation of Velvet Revolver (in my opinion) would have been Slash, Duff, Matt and Buckcherry duo Josh Todd and Keith Nelson (first people they jammed with looking to form a group) or alternatively it could be Slash, Duff, Matt, Dave and Izzy (In Slash's book he says Dave joined the group then Izzy started writing with the band, however some sources online say Dave was invited only to be the live guitarst) with Izzy suggesting that both he and Duff performing vocal duties.
Not that big a deal, but thought it was worth a mention. HrZ ( talk) 23:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Is there really any need for a whole section based on what the other members have been doing, especially when most have articles of their own? ( Loaded, Jane's Addiction Slash (album), etc) Seems a bit excessive and most (if not all) of it can be mentioned within the article. ( HrZ ( talk) 14:08, 29 October 2010 (UTC))
Myself and 63.248.11.9 are in a disagreement over the articles lead sentence. I feel that "Velvet Revolver is a hard rock supergroup consisting of former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner, formerly of punk band Wasted Youth. Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland was Velvet Revolver's lead singer from their formation until 2008." reads better. 63.248.11.9 feels that this is too long, changing it to "Velvet Revolver is a rock supergroup consisting of guitarists Slash and Dave Kushner, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Matt Sorum (all former members of Guns N' Roses except Kushner, formerly of Wasted Youth). Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland was Velvet Revolver's lead singer from 2003 until 2008." Would like to hear other editors opinions on the matter. HrZ 14:23, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I am very surprised you call "work" and "keeping neutral" the reversion of other people's edits. I am not proposing something radical that will shatter your... "neturality". Just better structure and more careful approach treading this article. Like keeping the hiatus activities in another section, making the flow better. Because you doesn't sound solid at all like some Humpty Dumpty going and screwing other people's work. If that's what you call "work", then I'll be really astonished to see what other contributions you have. Do you call it... "work" again? "We disagree and need to discuss" and bam! - revert. How are you proposing to do this discussion? Or should I report you for disturbing other people's work, just because you are enforcing misplaced sense of superiority. Or you go ahead and report me, then I'll be more than happy to respond to any kind of negativity. Because if you want to contribute - give the best, put the positivity. And up untill now, I've seen nothing but negative feelings and disturbance of my work from your part.
And that includes the content then I wanted to remove/re-write as well. Another editor believed the info in continued hiatus should be included, I disagreed but didn't think of it as that big of an issue to seek resolution elsewhere, so there it remains. So, are you willing to discuss this, work together and come to some sort of compromise? HrZ ( talk) 12:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)If you make a change which is good-faith reverted, do not simply reinstate your edit - leave the status quo up. If there is a dispute, the status quo reigns until a consensus is established to make a change. Instead of engaging in an edit war, propose your reverted change on the article's talk page or pursue other dispute resolution alternatives.
Sorry to be that guy but they're done. Since none of the members have said that exactly then it shouldn't be added to the page but I want to add this common sense. They're done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.166.48 ( talk) 06:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I agree. We shouldn't have anything changed until proof but I think that should be put out into the universe for people who don't know the band yet to understand that while we can't say they are done since it isn't fact but common sense says they are — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.166.48 ( talk) 11:13, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
a "hiatus" has only been a hiatus once it's over and they're actually back together. until that time i would also agree that they're currently broken up. 69.146.92.16 ( talk) 21:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
At no point has the band ever confirmed that they have 'split up'; on the contrary, the members have always insisted that they are 'on hiatus' and will get back together if they find the right vocalist for the group. Maybe the passage of time has determined that we consider them to be dissolved regardless of what claims they make but in any case a consensus on the matter should be reached. On another note, the death of Scott Weiland should not affect whether we opt to consider the band as being 'active' or not because he was no longer a member of the band at the time of his passing. 86.148.12.135 ( talk) 22:09, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Okay, so the caption on one of the photos currently reads "Former singer Scott Weiland. Velvet Revolver's April 1 show at the Heineken Music Hall in the Netherlands was at the time the band's last performance with Weiland." which if you think about it for more than a second is utterly meaningless, since every show is that artist's last performance "at the time". Not sure what a better wording would be so just putting it out there for someone to formulate something more meaningful.

no in his autobiography slash said he wanted to call the band revolver but then scott said why dont we call it velvet revolver and they all like it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.87.188.102 ( talk) 23:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

What kind of music does Velvet Revolver play? I mean, seriously, they're not grundge nor glam. Hard rock? Post-Grundge? Rock N' Roll? Alternative Rock? Just put something there! Melody and Tyranny ( talk) 14:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Probably worthy of mention, Scott Weiland says that the band will probably be breaking up. Doesn't sound official yet, but sounds like it'll happen at this rate.
Can i just add that the article of the break up was posted on April Fools day and is only on paragraph long. Is someone taking the mick? I reckon so —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.92.181 ( talk) 14:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Must be deja vu for the others. But they may continue with another lead vocalist so until there's official word that VR are no more, it's still present tense. Willo kenobi ( talk) 12:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Wow. Scott left. You just gotta move on.
Can someone please edit and clean up the Libertad part? It really puzzling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.181.63.7 ( talk) 18:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
A new section should be created for after "Split from Scott Weiland" for, I dunno "Search for new singer" where everyone could put rumored replacements, etc...The aforementioned section needs to end with Scott leaving, not random wanderings about who the next singer will be.... -- Kitrina192 ( talk) 23:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
This statement appears on the page: "On July 31st, 2008 Royston Langdon, ex-lead singer of Glam Rock band, Spacehog, was announced as Velvet Revolver's new lead singer by Entertainment Weekly" I could not find on Entertainment Weekly or any other news site that Langdon was taking over Weiland's spot. All they say is that he's on a short list. This site confirms such: http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/07/royston-langdon.html What do you think? Coolmanwc4 ( talk) 02:36, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

You guys got any actual evidence of these rumours, like sources? I've noticed a couple of vocalists linked to the role who I've never ehard of before, which leads me to think that someone is just making crap up if they aren't actually that person trying to scam a little extra publicity from the band's pending future ... Nearly famous writer ( talk) 04:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
The intro to this article seems to have a bias against Scott... For instance, when it says that Weiland was fired for erratic behavior and so forth, well... That was what Slash, Duff, and Matt said themselves. Menwhile, Weiland announced that the band was over at a show prior to his supposed "termination" as lead singer. In any event, the introduction should be more neutral... towards both parties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.93.249 ( talk) 01:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I have an idea that would allow people to view various prospects for Scott Weilands replacement in an easier way rather than just posting sentences in the "Split from Weiland" section... How about someone ends the "Split..." section with a closing paragraph about Scott leaving and then they form a new section titled something like: "Rumored replacement singers" or something like that. And that section can have an opening statement saying "Numerous individuals have been considered for scott weilands replacement; they include:" and then below, write a list of every person who has been rumored. It is easier to find names rather than searching through a section of the article that doesnt even have a title relevant to the fact that VR is looking for a new singer... Anyways, please let me know what you think on this idea... I am open to criticism and it doesnt bother me if you disagree with this idea, just let me know, thanks.

It may just be because of Scott Wieland's involvement with the group, but a bit of Velvet Revolver's music sounds very grunge-y to me. I'm just going to throw this in the air and see if it sticks; Would it be worth adding "grunge" as one of their genres? 138.217.108.26 ( talk) 05:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

definitely not grunge, its hard rock. grunge is defined by self introspection , morbid topics, metal influenced, certain scale modes. For example, the first STTP album Core was definitely grunge, despite not being from seattle. Shhsbavavaa ( talk) 07:58, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Can the fact that Matt invited Slash and Duff to contrbute to the Soundman soundtrack be considered the earliest incarnation? It seems no different than a simple "guest" appearance by them (e.g. Duff's debut solo album, Slash's Snakepit, etc.) and it didnt seem to lead to them forming a group. The earliest incarnation of Velvet Revolver (in my opinion) would have been Slash, Duff, Matt and Buckcherry duo Josh Todd and Keith Nelson (first people they jammed with looking to form a group) or alternatively it could be Slash, Duff, Matt, Dave and Izzy (In Slash's book he says Dave joined the group then Izzy started writing with the band, however some sources online say Dave was invited only to be the live guitarst) with Izzy suggesting that both he and Duff performing vocal duties.
Not that big a deal, but thought it was worth a mention. HrZ ( talk) 23:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Is there really any need for a whole section based on what the other members have been doing, especially when most have articles of their own? ( Loaded, Jane's Addiction Slash (album), etc) Seems a bit excessive and most (if not all) of it can be mentioned within the article. ( HrZ ( talk) 14:08, 29 October 2010 (UTC))
Myself and 63.248.11.9 are in a disagreement over the articles lead sentence. I feel that "Velvet Revolver is a hard rock supergroup consisting of former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, and Dave Kushner, formerly of punk band Wasted Youth. Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland was Velvet Revolver's lead singer from their formation until 2008." reads better. 63.248.11.9 feels that this is too long, changing it to "Velvet Revolver is a rock supergroup consisting of guitarists Slash and Dave Kushner, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Matt Sorum (all former members of Guns N' Roses except Kushner, formerly of Wasted Youth). Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland was Velvet Revolver's lead singer from 2003 until 2008." Would like to hear other editors opinions on the matter. HrZ 14:23, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I am very surprised you call "work" and "keeping neutral" the reversion of other people's edits. I am not proposing something radical that will shatter your... "neturality". Just better structure and more careful approach treading this article. Like keeping the hiatus activities in another section, making the flow better. Because you doesn't sound solid at all like some Humpty Dumpty going and screwing other people's work. If that's what you call "work", then I'll be really astonished to see what other contributions you have. Do you call it... "work" again? "We disagree and need to discuss" and bam! - revert. How are you proposing to do this discussion? Or should I report you for disturbing other people's work, just because you are enforcing misplaced sense of superiority. Or you go ahead and report me, then I'll be more than happy to respond to any kind of negativity. Because if you want to contribute - give the best, put the positivity. And up untill now, I've seen nothing but negative feelings and disturbance of my work from your part.
And that includes the content then I wanted to remove/re-write as well. Another editor believed the info in continued hiatus should be included, I disagreed but didn't think of it as that big of an issue to seek resolution elsewhere, so there it remains. So, are you willing to discuss this, work together and come to some sort of compromise? HrZ ( talk) 12:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)If you make a change which is good-faith reverted, do not simply reinstate your edit - leave the status quo up. If there is a dispute, the status quo reigns until a consensus is established to make a change. Instead of engaging in an edit war, propose your reverted change on the article's talk page or pursue other dispute resolution alternatives.
Sorry to be that guy but they're done. Since none of the members have said that exactly then it shouldn't be added to the page but I want to add this common sense. They're done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.166.48 ( talk) 06:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I agree. We shouldn't have anything changed until proof but I think that should be put out into the universe for people who don't know the band yet to understand that while we can't say they are done since it isn't fact but common sense says they are — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.166.48 ( talk) 11:13, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
a "hiatus" has only been a hiatus once it's over and they're actually back together. until that time i would also agree that they're currently broken up. 69.146.92.16 ( talk) 21:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
At no point has the band ever confirmed that they have 'split up'; on the contrary, the members have always insisted that they are 'on hiatus' and will get back together if they find the right vocalist for the group. Maybe the passage of time has determined that we consider them to be dissolved regardless of what claims they make but in any case a consensus on the matter should be reached. On another note, the death of Scott Weiland should not affect whether we opt to consider the band as being 'active' or not because he was no longer a member of the band at the time of his passing. 86.148.12.135 ( talk) 22:09, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Okay, so the caption on one of the photos currently reads "Former singer Scott Weiland. Velvet Revolver's April 1 show at the Heineken Music Hall in the Netherlands was at the time the band's last performance with Weiland." which if you think about it for more than a second is utterly meaningless, since every show is that artist's last performance "at the time". Not sure what a better wording would be so just putting it out there for someone to formulate something more meaningful.
