I knew my brother owned Velvet Revolver’s debut album CONTRABAND, and that it had been in his collection ever since it was first released in 2004. I decided to borrow the album from him, as I was desperate to listen to it after watching the Ozzfest 2005 footage. I only knew one Velvet Revolver song…

DOUG WESTON’S TROUBADOUR TAVERN
Filling the front man slot for Stone Temple Pilots in 2017 is a daunting task. The group, which scaled the heights of mega-rock stardom in the 1990s through the aughts, has seen its fair share of internal strife — particularly the firing of front man Scott Weiland in 2013 and replacing him with Linkin Park’s…

The band had coped with the deaths of both original singer Scott Weiland in 2015 and his replacement, Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, in 2017, and STP…

Along with Weiland, the band featured Orgy’s Jay Gordon and Ryan Shuck, Porno for Pyros’ Martyn LeNoble, Puddle of Mudd’s Doug Ardito,…
HAPPY
Yes, there is a song by Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver) along with Pharrell Williams (N.E.R.D.) which is called exactly as the Pharrell worldwide hit, but dating back a long time before. While Weiland is concerned about the upcoming release of “Blaster”, debut of Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts, someone commented indicating that there…
