Weiland to Axl: Hey Bitch
In the grand tradition of rockstar douchery, Scott Weiland calls out Axl Rose in an open letter on the Velvet Revolver website.
Here’s what he said.
Get in the ring. Go to the gym motherfucker, or if you prefer, get a new wig motherfucker. I think I?ll resist the urge to ’stoop’ to your level. Oh shit, here it comes, you fat, botox faced, wig wearin’ fuck! O.K. I feel better now. Don’t think for a second we don’t know where those words came from. Your unoriginal, uncreative little mind, the same mind that had to rely on its bandmates to write melodies and lyrics. Who’s the fraud now bitch? Damn, I couldn’t imagine people writing for me. How many albums have you put out man and how long did it take the current configuration of this so-called ‘band’ to make this album? How long? And without the only guys that validated the name. How dare you! Shame on you! How dare you call our bass player ’spineless’. We toured our album over a year and a half. How many shows have you played over the last ten years? Oh, that’s right - you bailed out on your long awaited comeback tour, leaving your remaining fans feeling shall we say a trifle miffed?! I won?t even list what I’ve accomplished because I don’t need to. What we’re talking about here is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory of the asshole he once was.Yours truly,Scott Weiland

Scott Weiland is the last honest-to-goodness true Rock Star there will ever be. And he’s got the track marks to prove it.

3:You obviously haven’t spent anytime with fullthrottle…

so… somebody fill me in. what exactly prompted all this grammatically marred hostility?
March 15th, 2006 at 7:12 am
i was wondering the same.

I tried to figure that out by visiting the Velvet Revolver website, but to no avail. However, I have decided from visiting the site that the NashvilleZine needs more nipples. Please?

i’d guess it has something to do with axl saying a month or two back that he wanted to reform g’n'r with all those velvet fuckers playing again or something… or maybe i’m getting confused with the whole billy corgan/pumpkins thing. who knows…
either way, to me, it’s like two worthless turds who don’t contribute anything anymore arguing over a position neither of them can fill anymore. i seriously doubt that either of them will ever again make any sort of substantial music of any sort, other than to play at water parks loud over the speaker system on a hot day.
and no, i haven’t always hated them. as a kid,i really liked stp’s “purple” and maybe some of the one after that. never cared too greatly for guns except parts of use your illusion.

Everytime I almost forget how much I hate STP, I find myself at bar where some douchebag is playing a solo-acoustic version of ‘plush’…and then my hate grows-and grows and grows. Seriously one of the worst bands ever.

But if GnR reformed and played Nashville Shores, i would go.
March 15th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
I’d only go see GnR if Izzy was with ‘em…and it was free.

I’d venture a guess that is was inspired by the lawsuits that Slash/Duff and Axel have been thrown back and forth at each other over the past couple months.
