VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum has posted the following message regarding the band's March 22 concert at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England:
"After the last couple of days and all the craziness, [we] had a really cool surprise: Robert Plant [LED ZEPPELIN] came into our dressing room and we had a nice sit-down with him for a least an hour. It's so weird, even though here I am playing in bands for all these years and meeting so many famous musicians and people. This was really a highlight. What a great guy. have met him before when I was with THE CULT. He came to a show at Manchester Apollo. As well as last time with VR there. Tonight was just cool and more intimate, I guess. We just shot the shit. A few road stories and he told me he wrote 'Black Country Woman' about a girl that was from the area we were playing in called Wolverhampton. Wow, trivia from the man himself. His son was in the opening band and Dad was playing roadie for the night. The band is called AURA and they were young and rockin'. Very blues-based '” a lot like ZEP. Also on the bill is Scott Ian's [ANTHRAX] band with his girl Pearl, another kid of rockstar Meat Loaf. Awesome singer and great performer. Cool to hang with Scott; good friend and cool dude. So pretty cool night all in all. Got more good news from L.A. after getting on the bus on the way back to Birmingham. Mike Inez from ALICE IN CHAINS went in my new clothing store and bought one of my leather jackets. Like I said, keepin' the rock alive and very well."

tonight @ Wolverhampton, England a poster @ velvetrevolverforum.com claims that scott said "as long as the band exists we will give blood sweat and tears"

So i guess Duff spoke on the matter...also early reports about tonights show seem to say that they are putting on a great show..i'm not writing anything off until an official announcement is made
VELVET REVOLVER Bassist Says 'Exhaustion' Contributed To Australian Tour Postponement - Dec. 7, 2007
When pressed about the nature of illness believed to be affecting two band members, McKagan agreed it was partly due to an exhaustive international tour schedule this year.
"(Exhaustion) has a lot to do with it, it really does. There are a couple of issues health-wise that have been coming to a head and everything will be rectified. These guys are resilient.''
thanks to funky monkey @ HTGTH

i dont think axl can say much, VR went out released an album went multiplatinum, won a grammy, released a followup and toured the world twice mainly on material that was written post gnr
VR is hardly unsucessful
as for VR continuing without scott...i doubt it, Scott was credited with final name of the band and wrote everything lyric wise..and they disagree with AXl carrying on GnR without them so i doubt they would do it to someone else...if they even stay together
Duff has Loaded, who are at least writing new material, and Slash wants to do a solo disk
where does that leave Matt & Dave? dunno but we'll have to wait and see...VR isnt even officallu over yet so until an official disbanding is announced anything could happen
#11226 Re: Guns N' Roses » The CD era - alternative angles » 972 weeks ago
Maybe other bands firing singers then moving on with other singers as the same band
-Van Halen changed from Roth to Hagar then to Cherone
-Pink Floyd dropped Barret then dropped Waters only to be replaced as frontman by Gilmour (who wasnt even original...which may even explain the reason for never letting Sorum or Clarke to join the partnership)
-Motley Crue dropped Neil for Corabi
-Black Sabbath firing Ozzy and moving on with Ronny James Dio
I cant think of any others at the moment
but this could explain his overwelming desire to become sole controller of the GnR name
#11227 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Scott says VR is finished after this tour on stage in Glasgow?! :( » 972 weeks ago
id say solo disk #2 or VR#3 cuz he says last VR tour
and slash and duff both seem to want to get that last disk out so it makes kinda sense it'll be like audio slave release the album and finish the band
#11228 Re: The Garden » HAPPY EASTER! » 972 weeks ago
well tommorrow is the actual day...but the town put on a easter egg hunt for today for the kids
it sucked though it was ages 3-5 so the five year olds are far more advanced that 3 year olds..so my daughter only got 2 eggs 
she looks at me and says i want more daddy 
on top of that the parents were like runnning out and protecting big piles of egs for thier kids people are so rude..but this little boy came over and gave my daughter one of his eggs so that was really nice of him (or his mother to tell him to do it)
anyway all in all she had fun and i guess thats what counts but there is no way they should put 5yo's in with 3 yo's 
#11229 Re: The Garden » HAPPY EASTER! » 972 weeks ago
happy easter..though the baby is teething here so lots of cryin a fever of 103dF and very little sleeping goin on baby is doing better today though...and then I'm gonna take my oldest to an egg hunt in a half hour so though that should be fun 
#11230 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Scott says VR is finished after this tour on stage in Glasgow?! :( » 972 weeks ago
maybe they'll fire off one more album and call it quits
this kinda blows for me, i am a fan of the band..its too bad that i didnt see them on the libetad tour...i knew i shoulda went
i think Scott has put forth a matt or me ultimatum, we'll see how this plays out but i wager that scott will be the one to leave, matt and scott have always been at odds nearly from day one
