Weiland Slams Axl Rose

2006-03-10 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 25 Comments
With three former members of Guns N' Roses feuding over the rights to that band's catalogue, Slash and Duff's current bandmate in supergroup Velvet Revolver is in on the act too!

Ex-Stone Temple Pilots shouter Scott Weiland today issued an ill-tempered retort to Axl's apparent mischaracterisation of Slash. Axl this week issued a statement alleging the guitarist had come to his house late last year, begging for re-admittance to the band, called Weiland a "fraud," bassist McKagan "spineless" and said he "hates" drummer Matt Sorum.

In an open statement on the band's website, Weiland declined to directly address the claims but did call Rose a multitude of childish names:

Get in the rinGo to the gym motherfucker, or if you prefer, get a new wig motherfucker. I think I’ll resist the urge to “stoop” to your level. Oh shit, here it comes, you fat, botox faced, wig wearin’ fuck! O.K. I feel better now. Don’t think for a second we don’t know where those words came from. Your unoriginal, uncreative little mind, the same mind that had to rely on its bandmates to write melodies and lyrics. Who’s the fraud now bitch? Damn, I couldn’t imagine people writing for me. How many albums have you put out man and how long did it take the current configuration of this so-called “band” to make this album? How long? And without the only guys that validated the name. How dare you! Shame on you! How dare you call our bass player “spineless”. We toured our album over a year and a half. How many shows have you played over the last ten years? Oh, that’s right - you bailed out on your long awaited comeback tour, leaving your remaining fans feeling shall we say a trifle miffed?! I won’t even list what I’ve accomplished because I don’t need to. What we’re talking about here is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory of the asshole he once was.

Yours truly,

Scott Weiland

Delicious. That was quite enjoyable. Scott has quite a mouth on him. To this day, I still like Axl's vocals in their old records, but from those sexual wails, and his gross vocal masculinity, he truly does sound like an asshole.
Hey, can't wait for Libertad

Awesome. All power to Scott. Axl is a selfish, stupid prick who ruined a good band for the sake of his ego.

Scott had alot of sense to tell Axl off like that. Axl deserves to be put into place.. Him and his damn ego...

This all let's the anticipation rise and rise, so that I would almost bet my arse on it that Chinese Democracy will suck as much as it can possibly. Because people expect too much from it

Some people say it's good, others hope it sucks. That's what you get when you wait for so long to release an album.

Neither of them had to react in such form, but hey it's Axl Rose after all. Let's see how it works out in the end.

Hopefully there will be like, hype and all. yay

I seem to be the only person who thinks Scott Weiland is acting like a vomplete dickhead. I mean, I in no way condone what Axl said about VR members, but Weiland really should have kept out of it. He should probably realise that a large chunk of VR's fanbase is made up of fans of Axl, and Guns N' Roses.This Message Edited On 03.10.06

Somebody call the cops, my ass is escaping cos I just laughed it off.
Well done to Scott Weiland, nice to see some genuine solidarity between band members in these days of constant infighting and backstabbing.

Whether or not Axl was telling the truth, I agree with what he said. I dunno about Duff being spineless because thats a character issue and I don't know Duff.

But hating Matt Sorum? I can see that. Matt Sorum's drumming style sucks. I hated his drumming with GN'R. It sounds slightly better with VR, but it is still not good at all.

Weiland a fraud? He sucks singing live...cant hit the high notes for sht. Plus his lyrics sound like gibberish alot of the time.

It's a believable story to me.

Scott weiland is preaching to what i know is a large army of Axl hating fans!
Axl Rose is no longer at the height of his game, and the fact he is trying to come back with a group of pathetic losers, i think it's sad. He is going to spoil the great memories people had of that band!
Go velvet revolver! You'll kick axl's ass any day! send him back to the shit hole he came from

Please don't compare Axl and Weiland. There's no comparison...ANYWAY you look at it...Axl kills Weiland. I understand that there is alot of Axl-hating going on out there...and with good reason. But please...you can't deny the man's talent in singing, song-writing, AND performing. And if you don't agree with that...then you either have not been properly exposed to GN'R or you flat-out have bad taste in music.
