What Do You Do For Money Honey?
Scott Weiland recently admitted that he joined Velvet Revolver for the money. The rocker stated that he was invited to join the band as the frontman of Slash and McKagan’s new group in 2003, but initially had second thoughts after he was left unimpressed by the sample tracks he was sent.
In his book “Not Dead And Not For Sale:A Memoir” he writes, “They put some songs on a CD and my wife said, ‘They think you’ll like what they’re doing.’ I didn’t; it sounded like Bad Company and I never liked Bad Company. A week or so later another CD arrived with songs custom-designed for me. “I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to hook up with these guys. Duff said, ‘There’s soundtrack stuff we’ve been asked to do, and the money’s great.’ The money attracted me.
“I can’t call it the music of my soul. There was a certain commercial calculation behind it.”
