If fucking Scott Weiland (originally from the Bay Area) could ever kick his drug habit, imagine what Velvet Revolver could be (could have been)...
Scott Weiland actually sang with the Doors for a project in 2000:
Weiland always reminded me a little of Morrison.
Slash is a good technical guitarist, but I feel that he is weak when it comes to writing melodies.
Trivia: I didn't know until recently that Slash's mom is an African American (interesting because some consider GnR's Axl Rose a racist/racially insensitive).
