Scott Weiland Talking more sh?t

    The mud just keeps on flying between the former VR bandmates

    In the latest twist in this rather extensive saga, Scott Weiland has suggested that Axl Rose may not have been entirely to blame for the break-up of Guns N' Roses.

    In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Scott Weiland has said "I was in a band where at the end, it was pretty much three against one. And so I'm pretty sure that it felt that way to Axl as well. I have to say this, and I'm not just saying this now because of my situation I went through, but I heard a lot of great Guns N' Roses stories you guys in the press will never hear. Everyone has made Axl out to be this horrendously crazy person, this bad guy, and I don't know him very well at all."

    "He and I for whatever reason got almost tricked into this little media spat for a moment because one of our band members happened to run into him and said that he said something.' continues Weiland. 'So, my point being that having been in a band with Velvet Revolver now for five and a half years, I'm not quite so sure that it was all Axl's fault. It's like, why does it always have to be the lead singer? Matt Sorum in front of my face, he was the sweetest guy in the world. But there were some times, out of the blue, the guy just randomly hated me. We all carried our own baggage in that band. In a sense, that's why people were intrigued, you know, especially for the first couple of years. Because they were kind of waiting on the trainwreck to happen. They just thought it would happen a lot sooner."

    There's even more Scott Weiland news than usual today as the Stone Tmeple Pilots man has also announced that he will release his autobiography this year. "I'm also in the process of writing my autobiography along with famed writer David Ritz, also due out toward the end of the year. It will be a collection of stories, experiences and lessons throughout my life. Definitely a good read."

    As well as touring with Stone Temple Pilots this summer, Scott Weiland is also set to release his secod solo album. It will be a double album and be released in November.

    I recall reading a ton of GNR stuff in Classic Rock magazine in 2006 a couple of months before the gig in the RDS. And Weiland was the first to verbally bash the living sh*t out of Axl, now he's sucking on his ass because he was turfed out of Velvet Revolver?

    Weiland needs rehab, and in a bad way. Hopefully the rest of STP will see this and send him on his way.

    VR!
