SCOTT WEILAND IS JUST LIKE AXL ROSE

Former Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland is talking more about Axl Rose, this time, comparing himself to the Guns N’ Roses singer.  Weiland told RollingStone.com about being ousted from VR, which features some of Axl’s old GN’R bandmates.  Scott revealed, “I was in a band where at the end, it was pretty much three against one.  And so I’m pretty sure that it felt that way to Axl as well.”  The Stone Temple Pilots man continued, “Everyone has made Axl out to be this horrendously crazy person, this bad guy, and I don’t know him very well at all… My point being that having been in a band with Velvet Revolver for five and a half years, I’m not quite so sure that it was all Axl’s fault.  It’s like, why does it always have to be the lead singer?”  Weiland even states that all the guys in Velvet Revolver had baggage.  He explains, “Matt Sorum [drummer] in front of my face, he was the sweetest guy in the world.  But there were some times, out of the blue, the guy just randomly hated me.”  Scott said that people were intrigued by the group since they were waiting for “a trainwreck to happen. They just thought it would happen a lot sooner.”  You can read more at RollingStone.com.
