Hey Friends, Want to give a very special thanks to our amazing crew, These are the guys and girl that work there asses off bouncing around on a tour bus then getting up after no sleep to set up all the gear, get the dressing rooms ready, food for the crew and band etc etc. Hard working dedicated people who love the traveling rock n roll show. They are the foundation of Velvet Revolver. Love U guys!!!! And as you all know by now it was our last show with Scott Weiland It was great to be in the UK and Europe playing for all you great fans. Thank you for your support as well as your passion. you people go crazy and we love it. Took some pictures with my girl In Amsterdam before we left for the airport today. Feeling good about the future. Going to get back to work right away on some new music and hope to have exciting news soon.
As for Scott I wish him well.
Stay Tuned!!!!!!
Love, Matt

    Dear Matt,

    I saw the show in Amaterdam on thursday and I think you really rocked!!

    It’s a shame that things didn’t work out with Scott, but I’m sure you guys will find a new great singer to join the band.
    Maybe London LeGrand or Jizzy Pear are good options?
    Anyway, I wish you all the best and hope to see you on the road soon!

    Take care and hold on tight, ’cause this rollercoaster isn’t going to stop now!

    See ya,

    Maup from The Netherlands

    I don’t understand why a huge band like u guys is getting apart, I feel sad ‘cus I love u’r music but, I just hope that u come back again.

    Hey Matt

    Great news that you guys are going to take VR forward, you were there before Scott and I’m sure you will be there long after he has fallen out with STP again. Hope you get a great new lead singer, Lenny Kravitz or Mark Lanegan would be pretty good. Anyway will stay posted.

    PS - Any jobs in the crew?

  • On 04.03.08 Sandi wrote:

    Oh, and of course, KUDOS to the crew! Great job all!!

    After hearing about the departure of Scott Weiland from VR, I must say I am not shocked. His comments that he will “bruise, sweat and bleed” for his fans made we wonder where he was, then, backstage at the last two VR shows in Minneapolis. I paid a lot of money to meet you guys, Scott included. I thank you, Matt, and your bandmates for your professionalism and dedication to your fans. Your warm comments and energy made up for his absence. How tiring for you though…

  • On 04.03.08 Jem wrote:

    Hey Matt,

    Shame about Scott, but think we could all see it coming. Just hope the rest of the band stay together..what is it with lead singers and their issue’s?! Nice to see you all in the UK, come and see your British fans again soon. Loving the website. Keep it real.

    Hi Matt you are the Man, Thanks for all the fast up dates on the band. Your where way to kind to Scott he well never be happy with any band. I glad to see VR move on. The four of you are great I’m not sure at this time any other band can touch VR’s talant level. Stay together and make some music for us. Stay Cool
    Cheers Carl

    I cant believe I witnessed the las show with Scott in Amsterdam.
    word was that the band had a fight at one of the UK shows and we (me and my best friend) where wandering for wat reason… and if the Amsterdam show was going on.

    It was and you where great (not only you, the band)and you could have fooled me if you had said that night there’s no problem within the band.

    You gave a graet performance to the crowed
    hope to see you all soon again, I can’t wait for the new singer to be announced
    love ya all keep VR rocking

    GOOD RIDANCE, SCOTT. Now we can all hear Slash sing, maybe. Hey Matt, are you guys gonna continue?

  • On 04.04.08 Jordi wrote:

    Hey Matt!!

    First of all thanks a lot for being so fuckin cool rocker and allow us to comment our news.
    I think Scott is a good singer (maybe not the best as I think he thinks himself) but as a person sux. He seems a crazy child with his lasts apperances…
    By the way i’m so happy that VR not disappear cause you guys are fuckin legend rocks alive and with a more hard rock singer your 3rd LP will be amazing.

    Keep rock alive ;)

  • On 04.04.08 Jordi wrote:

    AH! I almost forget, I saw you in Barcelona (with VR) years ago and it was stunning… the best show alive i’ve never seen.
    Don’t be bad boys and come to Spain again!!! ;)

  • On 04.04.08 Lynn wrote:

    Hi Matt. Glad to hear the rest of you guys are sticking together. Saw you at Manchester and you were awesome. Looking forward to hearing the new stuff.

    I just wanted to wish you, Slash, Duff and Dave all the luck in the world for the future. Thanks for keeping VR going, and thanks for keeping the fans up to speed with your excellent site. Hope you keep the updates going now the tour is over! Hope to see you back in the UK very soon(especially Liverpool and Manchester) with a new singer (maybe someone completely new, with no previous band baggage). I trust you guys will choose the right person for the job!! Keep in touch……please!

  • On 04.08.08 Jenny wrote:

    I am devastated to hear the news about Scott. I can honestly say I will not plan on listening to VR anytime in the near future, it will not be the same (or even close) without Scott on vocals. I saw 3 shows in the Detroit area, and am sad to say there will not be another for me.

    I WILL be catching Scott and STP when they are in Michigan without a doubt!

  • On 04.09.08 Damian wrote:

    Hey Matt:

    I’m a huge fan of the band and as with many others, I was sorry to hear about the split with Scott.

    Anyway, I wish you guys the very best in the future.

    If the concept of your search for a new singer entails finding someone “new and somewhat unrecognized (as in refreshing new perspectives)”, let me know…I’ve been writing and singing for years whether from behind a drum set or as front man to a number of bands…

    Thought I’d throw that out there….Hey, I know it’s a long shot but if it can be dreamt, it can be done…

    Again…All the best, bro.

    Until next time…dream dark….stay hungry….

    I was sad to hear about Scott, but knew it was coming (New Years Eve… “I am Scott. I don’t want to be here” shirt was a hint.
    But I loved meeting you all in New York, and the purse you guys signed goes everywhere I do! Make sure your next tour comes back to Edmonton… with your new kickass singer!
