Velvet Revolver are reuniting for benefit gig which takes place in LA next week. Original members (ex-Guns N'Roses Slash and bassist Duff McKagan as well as Matt Sorum, Dave Kushner and Scott Weiland) will perform on January 12(Thursday) at House Of Blues.
The band split up in 2008 after singer Scott Weiland left the band. Remaining member have been since looking for replacement.
Reunion show will honor Kushner's friend Josh O'Brien, who died last August.
Kushner said about the show:
"That [having other acts on the bill] will take the pressure off all of the bands, including Velvet. Because we hadn’t played with Scott in a long time I said, 'Look, let's just do three songs'. So we just got a bunch of people. Everyone will do three songs."
Tom Morello, Maroon 5, Sheryl Crow and Crosby, Stills And Nash will also perform during the concert.
Good news also is that Weiland may have decided to stay in band full-time. That would mean full reunion of Velvet Revolver. Let's hope that it will eventually happen.
