VELVET REVOLVER Hanging Backstage With ROBERT PLANT; Photo Available - Mar. 23, 2008

VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum has posted the following message regarding the band's March 22 concert at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England:

"After the last couple of days and all the craziness, [we] had a really cool surprise: Robert Plant [LED ZEPPELIN] came into our dressing room and we had a nice sit-down with him for a least an hour. It's so weird, even though here I am playing in bands for all these years and meeting so many famous musicians and people. This was really a highlight. What a great guy. [I] have met him before when I was with THE CULT. He came to a show at Manchester Apollo. As well as last time with VR there. Tonight was just cool and more intimate, I guess. We just shot the shit. A few road stories and he told me he wrote 'Black Country Woman' about a girl that was from the area we were playing in called Wolverhampton. Wow, trivia from the man himself. His son was in the opening band and Dad was playing roadie for the night. The band is called AURA and they were young and rockin'. Very blues-based — a lot like ZEP. Also on the bill is Scott Ian's [ANTHRAX] band with his girl Pearl, another kid of rockstar Meat Loaf. Awesome singer and great performer. Cool to hang with Scott; good friend and cool dude. So pretty cool night all in all. Got more good news from L.A. after getting on the bus on the way back to Birmingham. Mike Inez from ALICE IN CHAINS went in my new clothing store and bought one of my leather jackets. Like I said, keepin' the rock alive and very well."

	MAYBE THIS IS ALL A FUCKING SIGN!! MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO TELL THEM TO WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! IF WEILAND WAS THERE HE WOULD HAVE WALKED OUT SINCE HE PROBABLY DOESNT WANT ANYTHING TO GET IN THE WAY OF HIS NEW MONEY BUSSINESS TOUR CALLED STP(WHICH I LOVE BUT SCOTT WEILAND LOST ME AS A FAN YESTERDAY) OR MAYBE ROBERT WANTED SLASH'S HAIR... WHO THE FUCK KNOWS BUT IF ROBERT PLANT AND JIMMY PAGE CONSIDER YOU THE ONLY TRUE ROCK BAND AROUND I'D BE PROUD UNLIKE CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE A HEROIN EGO UP THEIR ASS

	Maybe Percy heard there might be a lead singer job going... If Slash is spotted buying a mandolin, we'll know for sure

	Just grow up Scot n Matt, Duff n Slash don't need this and Dave is already lookin on Craigslist I bet!!

	I just imagine Weiland tearing his fingernails against the arms of his chair reading this.

	VR should be accounted for.

	COMMENT \| corey taylor? posted by : longsincedark 3/23/2008 8:51:12 AM

	please dont get him to sing for VR... i dont mind his other projects but this is not his band period... i do think they need to just say fuck you Scott and keep going... they can find someone to fill his shoes out there.

	COMMENT \| posted by : black_art 3/23/2008 11:01:55 AM

	slash duff and matt should get gilby and sebastian bach and get things going as a real hard rock band, cut the crap ... or even izzy ? who knows :)

	Cool photo.

	COMMENT \| ... posted by : Heliotropic Rose 3/23/2008 12:50:00 PM

	I'm real disappointed in Scott right now. :-(

	COMMENT \| I'm shocked posted by : Neil Young's Cocaine Booger 3/23/2008 1:00:04 PM

	nobody is calling for the guy in the picture to replace Orange Juice Boy. Oh well, I guess Velvet Revolver will move on, while Scott Richard Kline steals his style from another singer down the road.

	you dog, you

	COMMENT \| hey! posted by : longsincedark 3/23/2008 1:24:56 PM

	Keith Caputo for VR!!! Just heard parts of his new disc and his rocking songs prove he can easily do this gig!! Try him out!

	COMMENT \| Lattimer posted by : longsincedark 3/23/2008 1:28:04 PM

	You made me laugh with you threats Sirdognuts... come on man you are making threats through an internet comment section on a news site... how fucking pathetic... seriously I am sure Sirdognuts is scared that he might have gotten your attention... grow up man seriously... are you 14 or something because your threat sounded like it.

	COMMENT \| Izzy!!!!!!!!!!!!! posted by : ALL THINGS METAL 3/23/2008 2:33:43 PM

	Why not hire Izzy & let him play guitar & sing. They could have a triple axe attack & a talented vocalist wrapped in one!!!!!

	COMMENT \| Now come on dude posted by : mcman71 3/23/2008 3:30:09 PM

	First of all please do not mention the Chili Peppers and Green Day in the same breath as Nickelback. Poor taste. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if David Cook from the current season of American Idol ends up in Velvet Revolver. He's a much better singer than Weiland is right now. Also, Slash and Randy Jackson are really good friends. It was Randy who convinced Slash to do the Lenny Kravitz track, and he actually layed down a half decent solon on the Daughtry cd. Hell, it wouldn't be a dumb move on VR's part considering Daughtry's sales figures, which fucking owned VR.

	Or they end up with William Hung!!! My god, that would rule so hard.

	that makes Bruce Dickinson feel the way he does about blabbermouth. :' (

	COMMENT \| Scott Weiland sux ass posted by : Jack Doff 3/23/2008 7:53:50 PM

	May he be blessed with haemorrhoids!

	COMMENT \| . posted by : Blackenistheyend 3/23/2008 9:44:24 PM

	Keeping the rock alive.... if by keeping rock alive he means writing shitty mainstream power ballads and radio-friendly "rockers"

	COMMENT \| Hell Yeah! posted by : hellboundsmoker 3/24/2008 3:43:36 AM

	VR and William Hung... bring it on! Say what you will about his (in)ability to stay on key and his (lack of) stage presence, but Willie comes across as a genuinely nice guy. Which is more than you can say for Scott at this point in time.

	COMMENT \| How sad... posted by : ThisIsMyUsername 3/24/2008 9:38:36 AM

	I've always been a fan of Scott's and have tolerated his out of control behavior and ego, but seeing how poorly he handled his band's business publicly was the final straw for me. I was looking forward to the STP tour and even Scott's solo record. Now I can't find myself supporting him any further.

	COMMENT \| posted by : eltonm17 3/24/2008 1:37:48 PM

	Doesnt really matter what you bunch of whiners say...they sold out the tour in the UK...theyre very popular and theyre very good live. If you dont like em dont buy their music and dont pay to see them. End of!!

	COMMENT \| Scott Ian and Pearl posted by : EPADILLA00 4/7/2008 8:04:24 PM

	Hey, if you like Scott Ian you should check him out on Kyte.Tv. It's his own personal video journal. It gives you a behind the scenes look at tours and shows produced by Scott Ian himself. Heres the link: www.nonelouder.com/profile/scottian
