Velvet Revolver is a
hard rock supergroup consisting of former
Guns N' Roses members
Slash,
Duff McKagan and
Matt Sorum, alongside
Dave Kushner formerly of
punk band
Wasted Youth.
Stone Temple Pilots singer
Scott Weiland was Velvet Revolver's lead singer since their formation until parting ways with the band in 2008. In 2004, the band achieved commercial success with their debut album,
Contraband. Critics initially described Velvet Revolver as a mere combination of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns N' Roses, and criticized the band for a "disconnection" between Scott Weiland and the rest of the band.
[1][2] With their single "
Slither", they won the 2005
Grammy Award for
Best Hard Rock Performance. The band released
Libertad in 2007, driven by the release of the single "
She Builds Quick Machines", and embarked on a tour with
Alice in Chains. In April 2008, Weiland parted ways with Velvet Revolver and has since
reunited with Stone Temple Pilots. Velvet Revolver has been on indefinite hiatus since April and in November of 2008, the band was released by their record label
RCA Records at their request to allow them "complete freedom to go through whatever process it would take to accomplish" replacing Weiland.
[3] Although still in 'limbo', the band members remain optimistic about its future.
