Bassist Duff McKagan has revealed that Velvet Revolver are not currently holding vocalist auditions, as has been rumored.

The newly formed supergroup shot to the top of the charts, selling four million copies in the U.S. alone.

We often see videos of kids rocking out to some classic Guns N' Roses songs, but here we have something a little different. Velvet Revolver, the group formed by former GN'R members and Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland, have reached out to even the smallest of rock fans!

Congratulations are in order for drummer Matt Sorum and his longtime girlfriend Adriane "Ace" Harper. The happy couple finally tied the knot on Saturday, Oct. 12, in Palm Springs, Calif. surrounded by their family and friends.

Rock supergroup Velvet Revolver has been struggling with lineup issues for quite some time now since parting with vocalist Scott Weiland. Conflicting stories on Weiland's place in the band have been prevalent for a year now, but Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash just made it public that the band is "very quietly" looking for a new singer.

Scott Weiland may have reunited with Velvet Revolver for a show early last year, but the singer's comments about getting back together with the band are not exactly having the desired effect.

Drummer Matt Sorum looks upon his tenure with Velvet Revolver as some of the best times of his career, but he definitely has some reservations about whether the band will continue.

Over the course of his illustrious career, Duff McKagan has been in a lot of bands -- and he touched on pretty much all of them during a recent interview with FasterLouder, looking back on his stints with Guns N' Roses and Neurotic Outsiders while looking ahead to his future with Loaded, as well as weighing in on where Velvet Revolver might be headed.

After revealing recently that he would be open to reuniting with Velvet Revolver, singer Scott Weiland has officially taken his position behind the microphone for the band that had yet to replace him.

Four years after their acrimonious split, the members of Velvet Revolver reunited with lead singer Scott Weiland for a brief live set last night (Jan. 12) — and now a message on the band’s website is causing some to question whether Weiland could be back in the fold on a more permanent basis.

We recently reported that Scott Weiland was going to rejoin Velvet Revolver, but only for a short lived one night stand. Now VR guitarist Dave Kushner has offered up more details on the reunion.

Singer Corey Taylor is best known for his role in two big-selling bands (Slipknot and Stone Sour), and the same can be said of bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver). There’s a pretty good chance the next high-profile group for each of them will be a joint project, according to Taylor.
