SCOTT WEILAND To Audition For New Ex-GUNS N' ROSES Band? - Apr. 10, 2003
According to former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash's Official Fan Site (www.snakepit.org), STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland is one of the singers currently auditioning for the vocalist slot in the new band formed by Slash and fellow ex-Gunners Duff McKagan (bass) and Matt Sorum (drums). Other singers known to have tried out for the position include Sebastian Bach (ex-SKID ROW), Kelly Shaefer (ex-NEUROTICA, ATHEIST), Travis Meeks (DAYS OF THE NEW), Mike Matijevic (STEELHEART), Pat Briggs (PSYCHOTICA), A. Jay Popoff (LIT), and Joshua Todd (ex-BUCKCHERRY).
Scott Weiland is reportedly finishing up work on his second solo album with producer Josh Abraham (STAIND, ORGY, CRAZY TOWN). Among the tracks set to appear on the as-yet-untitled effort are "Drop That Baby", "If Only I Could Fly", and "Big Black Monster". A late summer release is expected.

Former FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton was approached by ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash about auditioning for the new group former by Slash and fellow ex-Gunners Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, Patton's TOMAHAWK bandmate Duane Denison has revealed to Billboard.com. Patton reportedly declined the offer, opting instead to focus much of his energy on promoting TOMAHAWK's upcoming sophomore album, "Mit Gas", due on May 6 through Ipecac Records.
With regards to the musical direction of "Mit Gas", Denison said, "It's different, maybe it is more balanced," says Denison. "To me, an album is almost like a collection of short stories or scenes in a play, though it's not like we're trying to tell a whole story with every song being a section. I think there are sort of unifying vibes here and there. I don't know, I just think the timing is right for this album and for TOMAHAWK. I might be totally wrong."

Damn! I've been bitching for months now that they should get Patton. Weiland would be an excellent choice as well, but what does that mean for STP? Always liked that band.
