Ouch. Former Stone Temple Pilots front man and current Velvet Revolver vocalist Scott Weiland has lashed out at Axl Rose after the Guns N Roses singer called him a “fraud”.
Posting a rather lengthy rant on the official Velvet Revolver website, Weiland called Rose a “wig wearin’ f**k”, “unoriginal” and a “frightened little man” amongst other things. The full post, titled “Quid Pro Quo” is as follows:
“Go to the gym motherf****r, or if you prefer, get a new wig motherf****r. I think I’ll resist the urge to stoop to your level. Oh s**t, here it comes, you fat, botox faced, wig wearin’ f**k! O.K. I feel better now. Don’t think for a second we don’t know where those words came from. Your unoriginal, uncreative little mind, the same mind that had to rely on its bandmates to write melodies and lyrics. Who’s the fraud now b***h? Damn, I couldn’t imagine people writing for me. How many albums have you put out man and how long did it take the current configuration of this so-called “band” to make this album? How long? And without the only guys that validated the name. How dare you! Shame on you! How dare you call our bass player spineless. We toured our album over a year and a half. How many shows have you played over the last ten years? Oh, that’s right - you bailed out on your long awaited comeback tour, leaving your remaining fans feeling shall we say a trifle miffed?! I won’t even list what I’ve accomplished because I don’t need to. What we’re talking about here is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory of the a**hole he once was.
Yours truly,
Scott Weiland”
