Velvet Revolver

The long awaited return of Velvet Revolver may be approaching come 2012! The band’s drummer, Matt Sorum (also affiliated with Guns N’ Roses and the Cult), recently opened up about the current state of the supergroup that also includes GNR’s Slash and Duff McKagan alongside Dave Kushner formerly of punk band Wasted Youth.

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.

They have an all-star lineup and a pair of top five albums to their credit, so what’s keeping Velvet Revolver from soldiering on without departed vocalist Scott Weiland? According to drummer Matt Sorum, the band has tried — even going so far as to record an entire album’s worth of new material with Slipknot/Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor. But it hasn’t panned out — so far, anyway.
