Scott Weiland's Near-Salvation: Velvet Revolver, Martial Arts and Money

Slipping and sliding, peeping and hiding.Basically Rosetta Stone Outlet, the story was that Mary had cleaned up and I hadnt. I was strung out and fucked up. Mary wanted out of the marriage the agony of our divorce went on for years but Mary still took an interest in my career. Always has. Always will. Ka-ching. Ka-ching.She said shed been hanging with Susan McKagan, a former swimsuit supermodel and wife of Duff, the bass player with Guns N Roses when the group was at its height. Susan told Mary that three guys from GNR Duff on bass, Matt Sorum on drums, and Slash on guitar had formed a band. Initially, Izzy Stradlin was in, but soon opted out. David Kushner from Wasted Youth took his place."Sounds like a lot of egos," I said. "Sounds like a lot of trouble.""They put some songs on a CD that they want you to hear," Mary said. "They think youll like what theyre Rosetta Stone V3 doing."I didnt. It sounded like Bad Company-styled classic rock. And I never liked Bad Company. But being a nice guy, I said, "Theres some stuff thats okay, but just send me another disc when you have a few new songs."A week or so later, another CD arrived with songs custom-designed for me. The tunes had STP written all over them.Duff called and said, "Hey, man, just drop by the studio." I knew Duff from the gym, and I said Id try. I still wasnt sure whether I wanted to hook up with these guys."Look, Scott," Duff said, "theres also soundtrack stuff weve been asked to do Rosetta Stone French. And the moneys great."The money attracted me.My managers, pushing me to join this band, said, "Theyre going to cover Pink Floyds Money for a new movie called The Italian Job. And then Ang Lee wants songs for his remake of The Hulk. This is going to be a hot band. Just give it a chance."I reluctantly agreed. The idea was just to jam. Couldnt hurt to see if there was any chemistry. Meanwhile, I was still hurting chemically. I was still shooting dope. Thats the reason I showed up many hours late.When I arrived, I was shocked. The guys had set up a major industry event. All sorts of music execs were there. It was being billed as an announcement of "Guns N Roses with Scott Weiland" and made to look like a done deal, not just a casual jam. I was confused, and, because of my drug habit, I was also a wreck Cheap Rosetta Stone V3. But what the fuck, I was there and might as well sing.
