SCOTT WEILAND Denounces Music Industry 'Censorship'

April 22, 2004

VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland has posted the following cryptic message on the group's official web site: "I'm disgusted with the music industry. Since making my last record two years ago, I've encountered more censorship in the past three months than in ten active years with [STONE TEMPLE PILOTS]. Let's hear it for the lambs! Censorship Is Nazism."

VELVET REVOLVER's debut album, "Contraband", is scheduled for release on June 8 through RCA Records. The band — who've only played one show before (last year in Los Angeles) — recently shot a video for the album's first single, "Slither", with director Kevin Kerslake (NIRVANA, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, IGGY POP). Look for the "Slither" video to premiere Tuesday, April 27 at 9:00 PM Eastern/Pacific as part of MTV2's "Makes The Video".

VELVET REVOLVER will embark on a North American tour beginning on May 13 in St. Louis, Missouri.
