My opinion:
Axl will release CD.
BH will be back in the band, if he isn't already
They will tour shortly to promote it
GNR reuinion sooner than we expect
#2342 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Who benefits more from the split? » 969 weeks ago
In my opinion, STP benefits more from the VR fall out. It's apparent that the DeLeos, while amazing musicians, haven't had any success in comparison to STP with either Talk Show or AoA. For that matter, i say STP benefits more, because a lot more of the younger generation are being turned onto STP and their fanbase will grow. Also, they now have the chance to record STP 6, which they have already started writing and will record and release after the tour.
Slash will always have a following because he's Slash. He doesn't benefit that much as far as i'm concerned, because he always has enough oportunities to put himself out there.
But as for the future of VR, i think they should be over. Slash and Duff are just messing up their legacies they left with GNR by consistently failing to achieve any success that is comparable to GNR. I think they should do their solo projects until GNR are ready to reunite.

Watch any VR boot, and then watch this STP footage- you will notice a complete 180 in the way Scott sounds, acts, moves, and talks. He's finally back home! 
:mosh::mosh:
This tour is going to kick ass. And with an album after the tour, STP are back for good!
I knew Scott was dropping hints in all his interviews, and now he's confirmed it. I knew he wanted STP back.
#2344 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Weiland talks about the VR split » 969 weeks ago
These guys really sound like they're happy to be together.
I said it from the begginging- Scott wasn't happy in VR and you could tell he wanted STP back whenever anyone asked him a question about it. VR wasn't the right band for him, and his reasons for doing it towards the end was just to do it.
I called this all along, and that's why i always had hope in STP.

Here's a professional recording of parts of Plush, Vasoline and Interstate Love Song.
#2346 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Sorum Offers His Insight » 970 weeks ago
First of all, this is hilarious. They tried to act like Scott announcing that on stage wasn't a surprise... that's quite funny that it was!
And it's so true about Matt, he's being a hypocrite. If Axl called and said let's do this, they're offering us this much money, he would be on it without hessitation.

This is a summary from the VR Forum from DemolitionRock77:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, here is what was relevant to VR:
1. The problems started when Scott said he would be playing STP for the rest of the year
2. They are looking at new people, no names have been mentioned
3. The 4 of them staying together
5. Scott's announcement at Glasgow was in fact a surprise to everyone
6. Sorum hinted poor Libertad sales as a possible reason why Weiland decided to do STP
----------------------------------------------------------------
Apparently Sorum also made a sniping comment about Scott having the "carrot dangled" in front of him by STP to lure him away from VR.
Apparently it's not going over well at the VR Forum...here are some quotes:
From remraf:
That whole 'carrot dangling' chaps me ass a bit. What, with Slash and Duff consistently saying that they would do a GnR reunion if the opportunity was right. Matt would be there in a heartbeat as well. So because Scott and the rest of STP thought it was the right opportunity, that's somehow some bullshit to Matt? Scott's reunion happened first...and the other 3 or 4 are all bewildered? They would do the same friggin' thing if Axl called tomorrow.
#2348 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 970 weeks ago
I agree that a Finck departure is a major blow to the CD era fanbase. He is the one that the younger gen of fans(and some older as well) identify with in that role. Love him or hate him, Finck leaving creates a void that will be difficult to fulfill.
However, there's a pot on my stove that's cooking, and it smells like a reunion.
Axl hires new management
VR implode
Finck's status up in the air and not available for at LEAST a year
Other CD era members doing their own projects
Do the math.
Slash did say they played with a new singer, but wouldn't hint as to who. Doubtful that it's Axl, but with new management and VR imploding, there's a very small chance. If they played with him, we had better brace ourselves.
#2349 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 970 weeks ago
Axl hinted that 2008 is the year, and if that's the case you'd expect Robin to be in GNR to tour behind the album.
What i honestly think is that the album is fully done, therefor Finck decided to tour with NIN while all the negotiations and promo are done. When the date is set and Axl is gearing up to drop it, Finck will be back in GNR. I can't imagine he would put this much effort behind it to bail out at the last minute. This album will put him on the map as an amazing guitar player. It will solidify these guys reputations as amazing musicians. BH will gain more fame and recognition from it, same with every other player in the band, who until this point, all of them are relatively unknown in the mainstream eye except Axl. I can't see any of them bailing.
And honestly, i can't see BH remaining out of the band either. This is his excellence shining as well. Same with Brain. I expect the band that's on the album to tour behind it. Any other way but that is just pointless.
#2350 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Rik's VR Site Closing » 970 weeks ago
For those of you who don't know, this site has supported all members of VR from the beggining. Rik has also been a link between fans and VR at times. Losing this site is a big loss for VR.
It's funny how he decided to do this though.
