Velvet Revolver, who continue to work on their forthcoming second album, will take a break from the studio in late July for a pair of live appearances. Look for the band to play Kelseyville, California on July 29 and Paso Robles, California on July 30.

The band had been preparing songs since coming off the road last year and were to have entered the studio on April 10 to begin working on their sophomore effort.

The band's great, and I don't think that thing between axl and VR has anything to do with Scott. It all started long ago, they wanted to make different music, as long ago as November Rain and the UYI tour, and they couldn't tolerate Axl's bossing...
And I hope VR get their second album ready soon, like september

Okay yeah slash is a kick a$$ guitar player - but that doesnt make him a legend! The word legend should be reserved for those who've made a difference - a difference in the world, in music history. So until Slash makes his big contrabution - (and a few big songs - although awsome - doesn't qualify him) - then leave the term 'legends' to the bug boys!

Why can't you just f*cking grow and realize people like different kinds of music...
And what's with calling people gay? How old are you?!?! If you don't like the music, don't listen to it, because nobody else gives a hot f*ck what the f*ck you listen to!! This is news that VR fans want to read about, if you don't like them why did you read it?

cause i find it highly amusing that little b*tches on this site get so worked up and p***ed off over something somebody said on the internet. don't tell me you take this sh*t seriously? i understand that people like different kinds of music, and thats cool. the aim of my attacks were mostly at Vrfan88, who started this argument in the first place and for acting like a little b*tch. If u talk sh*t to me. i'm gonna talk sh*t back, thats just how it goes.

So, who's the "little b**** who gets worked up and p***ed off over something somebody said on the internet?" You seem to be taking vrfan seriously.

By the way, Weiland has been off of drugs for quite a while now.

To the jackass who wrote that embarrassing comment regarding his personal list of legends that excluded Slash, what in hell is wrong with you. Like how can you sleep at night after saying "Hey! Dimebag Darrel, who did talentless shredding that 90% of at home guitar players do nowadays, is a 'legend' because he recently died. I mean no disrespect to him in anyway outside of his guitar playing, but anyone who wants to sit down and practice scales and exercises all day can do that. I call them nerds. Slash plays "MUSIC" there is a melody behind his solos which are backed by extremely impressive vibrato, legato and, although cliche, passion. He has redefined music for all by making the solo a part of the song rather than a spotlight. The only reason you can get away without calling him a legend is because after GnR came Grunge and then the Emo sh** we hear nowadays so there aren't any guitarists skilled enough to mimic him in the recording world. But yeah, I guess Alice Cooper's guitarist, the Minor Pentatonic-bound Skynard guitarists and Pantera's former shredder deserve to be higher eh? Where would music be without them

People need to quit comparing Velvet Revolver to the band members former bands. VR stands alone as a solid rock entity on on their own musical merits. This is pure rock n' roll, something that has SORELY been missing from the musical scene for many years now. VR is NOT a 'supergroup', what they are is a group fo talented musicians with their own unique sound and stage presence. You don't like 'em? Then move along! Go listen to all the suedo *new* rock acts who all sound so much alike today. I prefer originality, talent and all out GOOD rock music with substance.
