Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rock,
Scott Weiland claims Stone Temple Pilots lied about firing him to boost ticket sales.
The "Sour Girl" band released a statement earlier this week, saying Scott had been sacked, although he counters the band had already organized a tour without him, and saw it as a way of promoting their shows.
"STP is not broken up. It's a whole thing to try to boost ticket sales," he told TMZ.
He added the band do not communicate very much, and said the rest of the group could never tour as Stone Temple Pilots without him, due to a clause in their contract. Scott also maintained the band is still intact and together. On Wednesday, the band released a one line statement, reading, "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland."

Velvet Revolver to Reunite?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Reunions, Rumors, Rock,
Duff McKagan wants to get Velvet Revolver back together. The bass player and singer now fronts new band Loaded, but is hopeful he will reunite with legendary guitarist Slash, drummer Matt Sorum and guitarist Dave Kushner for a third album with the supergroup.
When asked if Velvet Revolver would continue - despite parting ways with vocalist Scott Weiland in 2008 - he said, "I hope so because it's a damn good band. Slash and I are family. He will be my brother until the day I die and I want to play with him again and we will."
Duff, Slash and Matt were also at one time members of Guns N' Roses, before forming Velvet Revolver in 2002. They have released two albums to date, Contraband in 2004 and Libertad in 2007. After Scott's departure, the group launched a search for another singer, but although there were many people in the frame including Myles Kennedy, Sebastian Bach and Slipknot singer Corey Taylor, they ultimately decided to go on hiatus instead.
