SLASH Runs Into SCOTT WEILAND On Way To Las Vegas

February 22, 2010

Over the weekend, Slash flew to Las Vegas to take part in PokerStars.net's North American Poker Tour celebrity charity tournament. On the plane to Sin City though, he ran into Scott Weiland, who was in VELVET REVOLVER with Slash until acrimoniously leaving the group in April 2008.

The guitarist spoke to VH1 Radio Networks' Dave Basner about the reunion.

"After we got off, the plane landed, it was cool," Slash said. "It was nice to see him. We talked for a minute, we walked through the airport together. It was the first time we talked since the last show of the [last VELVET REVOLVER] tour."

Slash went on to say that things were great between him and the STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer.

"It was really cool and STP has a new record about to come out and I was really excited about it," Slash told VH1 Radio Networks. "It's just... I don't know... Now that we're not sort of at odds with each other in the band, I have no issues."

As for the poker tournament, Slash — who was at a table with Christian Slater, Marlon Wayans, UFC fighter Tito Ortiz and World Series of Poker winner Chris Moneymaker — didn't win.
