SCOTT WEILAND Fires Publicist Over BLABBERMOUTH.NET Story

September 11, 2003

VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland has posted the following message to the group's official web site, www.velvetrevolver.com:

"This is in response to the posting on [unofficial VELVET REVOLVER web site] velvet-revolver.com entitled 'Velvet Revolver Are Loving The Aliens (Sometimes)' on September 06, 2003, which originally appeared on BLABBERMOUTH.NET. Hello VELVET REVOLVER fans. I hate for my first message on the site to be of the negative variety but I feel that it is my responsibility to uphold the honor and integrity of my friend and producer/partner, and to let the truth be known. First off, VELVET REVOLVER spokesperson Arlett Vereecke is not a spokesperson. We speak on our own behalf. Secondly, she was fired two weeks ago for situations not unlike this. Last but not least, Josh Abraham is a genius producer and friend who produced an amazing rock track last week. This track [Josh worked on with us] was not titled 'Loving the Alien (Sometimes)'. 'Loving the Alien (Sometimes)' is an art-rock ballad that was produced by Douglas Grean, an amazingly talented producer and friend who is so humble that he didn't even want me to write this response. But I'm sorry Doug, when it comes to the music that I write with my partners in V.R., the truth needs to be known. It's my responsibility to the producers, to the music, and to the fans. Shame on you Arlett Vereecke. Sincerely, Scott Weiland."
