Velvet Revolver (abbreviated to VR) is a Grammy Award-winning hard rock supergroup currently consisting of Slash (lead guitar), Duff McKagan (bass guitar, vocals), Matt Sorum (drums, percussion, vocals) of Guns N' Roses, and Dave Kushner (rhythm guitar), of Wasted Youth. Following the breakup of Stone Temple Pilots in 2003, the band achieved success with their debut album Contraband and released their second album Libertad in 2007. Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots was the singer for the band from 2003 until 2008, when he left the band to reunite STP after a fall out with the other members of Velvet Revolver.
Critics initially described Velvet Revolver as a mere combination of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns N' Roses, and have criticized the band for a "disconnection" between Weiland and the rest of the band. However, the band went with a different approach for their second album Libertad, and received some acclaim. With their hit single "Slither", they won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
