Guest slacklet Report post Posted April 29, 2004 Did you see this - Weiland bitched out the Maxim writer that gave "Contraband" **** and Album of the Month: SCOTT WEILAND Threatens Magazine Writer Over CD Review - Apr. 29, 2004 VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland has slammed Maxim magazine writer Jon Caramanica over his review of the group's debut album, "Contraband", stating — among other things — that Caramanica "knows about as much about me and my legal situation as he does about our music." Read on for Caramanica's brief review of the CD and Weiland's venomous reply, as posted on VELVET REVOLVER's official web site, VelvetRevolver.com: Jon Caramanica for Maxim magazine, May 2004: "Say you're the guns behind GUNS N' ROSES and you need a frontman to replace eyebrowless loony tune Axl Rose. Where to turn? Obviously trolling rehab centers and bus stations, Slash and the guys found their man: former STONE TEMPLE PILOT and career fuckup Scott Weiland! What could go wrong? Ignoring the offstage drama and giving 'Contraband' a listen, we have to say ... not a damned thing. Although Rose was all maniac energy and Weiland is more boozy charm, 'Contraband' sounds like these guys have been mainlining 'Appetite for Destruction'. At first Weiland clearly struggles to keep up ('Sucker Train Blues'), but he finds his groove over the brash guitars and brawny drums. On 'Dirty Little Thing', he knowingly sings, 'Get away from the man who's stealing your life/Get away from the drugs you're taking.' He sounds like a man ready to slow down, yet he's as reinvigorated as his new mates. Welcome back to the jungle, guys." From Scott Weiland to Jon Caramanica: "In his review of our album 'Contraband', Jon Caramanica of MAXIM knows about as much about me and my legal situation as he does about our music. The article mentions my legal status which states that I will be eligible for release from rehab in July. Sorry to break your heart and take the wind from your sails but I was sprung from rehab on the 22nd of April. Now Jon, Jon, Jon — come on now — my 'boozy' charm? Unless you were born yesterday you would know I was a dope fiend, not a boozer. Let's just get down to it Jon, this album sounds nothing like 'Appetite' and you know nothing about me, so if you're gonna make a record 'Album of the Month' then stop the punk-ass back-handed comments! "Let's meet up face-to-face and see just how 'boozy' I am in person — when I get 'manic' on your ass motherfucker!" Take a joke, you douche. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Adams is my hero when it comes to this sort of thing...except he calls reporters and leaves threatening voicemails. Anyway, Velvet Revolver hasn't exactly lit my world on fire. And what does Weiland care about MAXIM? If the article was run through Blender, then he shouldn't be mad, considering that Blender is the worst "music" magazine out there.

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 I wanted to catch the tour, but they aren't coming anywhere near Pittsburgh really. I wasn't too impressed by what I've heard anyway, I don't really like that singer. The CD featuring Guns N Roses members that comes out in June that I want to hear more is the Hollywood Rose demo CD. Sounds cool, I've heard some of their stuff already and it was alright. I hear Tracii Guns is on the CD too, he's one of my favorite guitarists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
