Velvet Revolver To Change Direction With New Singer

Slash tells Metal Hammer Germany that Velvet Revolver is heading into a different musical direction now that they don't have to conform to Scott Weiland's vocal style.

"When Scott was out of the band and we came back to L.A. we just started doing some writing and we just went back to the way we normally would write, which is pretty heavy anyway." He continues, "We sort of altered things a little bit to fit Scott, but now, this, we're gonna do stuff our way and then try and find someone who can sing it the way that it should be sung."

When asked if Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge who is heading up his solo touring band, was going to join Velvet Revolver, Slash said that he had been asked before but had other commitments.

Finally, unlike his heap of praise for Axl and Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy," when asked if he had heard the new Stone Temple Pilots album, he said that he had only heard the single on the radio. When asked if he liked it he said, "sounds like, yeah, it's ok". - Watch the interview here
