VELVET REVOLVER's SLASH, SCOTT WEILAND Name Their Favorite JOHN LENNON Songs

December 3, 2005

StarTribune.com recently asked members of VELVET REVOLVER to name their favorite John Lennon song and state why:

Slash: "'Mother'. Because it's so personal, it's screaming out pain, it's very effective."

Scott Weiland: "'How Do You Sleep'. It's amazing how that guy can go from writing about love in such a touching and beautiful way and quickly traverse into a rant. He's obviously talking about his old writing partner [Paul McCartney]."

VELVET REVOLVER finished touring in support of their 2004 debut album, "Contraband", this past summer with a handful of Ozzfest appearances. The group, who have a few East Coast gigs lined up in late December/early January, are expected to begin recording their sophomore effort shortly for release in 2006. "Contraband" has sold 1.8 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
