VELVET REVOLVER's WEILAND Recounts Drug Troubles: Video Available

October 3, 2006

VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland is among the entertainers featured in a series of recent online videos produced by the MusiCares organization. The clips were taped in honor of 2006's National Drug & Alcohol Addiction Recovery Month, which took place in September. Watch Weiland talk about his past battles with heroin addiction during his years fronting STONE TEMPLE PILOTS online at Grammy.com.

Though Rick Rubin was recently tied up with U2 in London, he's slated to work with both METALLICA and VELVET REVOLVER next, VR drummer Matt Sorum informed RollingStone.com last month during the Hard Rock Café’s 35th birthday extravaganza. "I think we're going to beat METALLICA to the studio 'cause we write songs faster than they do," he boasted.

The working title for the new VELVET REVOLVER disc remains "Libertad", although Sorum previously dismissed Weiland's statements that it will be a concept record.

"You know, Scott said something about a concept album," Sorum told ABC Radio's ePrep. "But you know, the concept is let's get it done, you know what I mean? (laughs)"

VELVET REVOLVER's 2004 debut, "Contraband", was certified double-platinum for sales in excess of two million copies in the United States.
