Editor's note

Velvet Revolver, the 2000s rock supergroup

A short-lived but memorable band that mixed Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots.

For their sound, 'Let It Roll' opens 'Contraband' with that swagger. But 'Fall to Pieces' is the one people still know, a straightforward ballad that cuts through the noise.

They were a genuine supergroup, not just a side project, with Slash, Duff McKagan, and Scott Weiland all bringing their signature sounds. 'Fall to Pieces' became a rock radio staple, a ballad Weiland wrote during a rough patch that felt direct and unguarded. Their debut 'Contraband' sold well and captured that early-2000s hard rock moment before internal tensions took over.

They came together in the early 2000s, released 'Contraband' in 2004, and followed with 'Libertad' in 2007. Weiland left in 2008, and attempts to continue with another singer didn't last. Their story is pretty much those two albums and the tensions that came with it.

Archive material and source history

Velvet Revolver formed in the early 2000s when former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum joined with Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland. They released their debut album 'Contraband' in 2004, which included songs like 'Fall to Pieces' and 'Dirty Little Thing.'

Weiland's personal struggles and the band's internal tensions became part of their story. They managed one more album, 'Libertad,' in 2007 before Weiland left the following year. The remaining members tried continuing with a different singer, but the project didn't last.

Their music, particularly 'Fall to Pieces,' still gets played. It's a ballad Weiland wrote during a difficult time, and its straightforward lyrics about relationships connected with listeners.
