Weiland to Front Gn'R Band

STP singer says the new group will be called Reloaded

After two recorded songs and months of speculation, Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland confirmed that he will be the singer for the band featuring former Guns n' Roses members Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) and Matt Sorum (drums). According to Weiland, the secretive group, which has been working under the name "the Project," will be called Reloaded.
"Yeah, I'm in the band," Weiland told Rolling Stone during Marilyn Manson's show at Los Angeles' Key Club on Monday night. "We signed the contract."

Sorum, who attended the Manson show with Weiland, was more guarded about the singer's involvement. "I need to ask my whole band before we can say anything," he said. "We left the studio tonight to come down here to see Manson."

Sorum and company had been searching for a frontman for the better part of a year. In addition to an open call for demo tapes, they tried out a stable of well-known singers including Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Travis Meek (Days of the New), Kelly Shaefer (Neurotica), Josh Todd (Buckcherry) and A. Jay Popoff (Lit). VH1 has been filming the tryouts and sessions for an upcoming special.

Last month, Weiland seemed to gain the pole position when he recorded a cover of Pink Floyd's "Money" with the band and guitarist David Kushner (Suicidal Tendencies, Wasted Youth) for The Italian Job soundtrack, due May 26th.

According to a post on the Stone Temple Pilots Web site, Reloaded also worked on a new song called "Set Me Free" for The Hulk soundtrack and hope to release a full-length record by February 2004.

This should be interesting.
 
I'm just glad they finally got rid of Axel, he was good for the band in the beginning, he was just such an ass.

Axel owns Guns n Roses. That s his band. This one is called Reloaded. GnR is dead...Axel killed them & he doesn't know it yyet.
 
Yeah, Axl is the one who fired the other three, not the other way around.

Does this mean Stone Temple Pilots is permanently gone too?
 
at least they didn't call the band "Guns 'n' Roses' like they planned in the first place :rolleyes:

GnR is dead, without Axel's voice it's nothing.
 
GnR is still around but the only original member of it is Axl. "Reloaded" with Scott Weiland will be with two members of the old GnR; Slash & Duff. Izzy ain't comin back to play and they have that drummer but I don't remember who the original drummer was of GnR.

As far as STP goes, Weiland has been planning a solo album for a while so even if it wasn't this new band or if he did do a solo "project", I don't see STP being around anymore.
 
They should have choosed Sebastian Bach instead, great voice with more old-gnr style. Also, i think pretty much all of the band is dead, no matter what the name is or how many originals play in it.

As for Axl, well who knows what he's planning, remember he sang a few songs in the last year's MTV music awards.

I agree he would have been better. There are probaly a thousand singers better than Weiland and Axel they coulda gotten. Guess they are going for a more "trendy" "alternative" sound. But I think I would hate them no matter what.

I predict Axel will be doing reality tv in a few years just to pay the bills.

I think that's probably pretty close to the truth. The man has no respect for his fans, or anyone for that matter. Being an asshole has gotten him pretty far, but I think the ride is over.
 
Didn't I hear something that he keeps booking concert dates and then cancelling at the last minute or just not showing?
 
He's had alot of throat problems throughout his career, of course if he cut back to two packs a day, that might help, but....
