Velvet Revolver brought together members of Guns N’ Roses—Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum—with Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots.
Formed in the early 2000s, their debut album Contraband (2004) hit #1 on the Billboard 200, sold over 3 million copies worldwide, and won a Grammy for “Slither.”
For a moment, this band had everything—massive hits, huge tours, and global attention.
But internal struggles and tension eventually led to their downfall.
