Michelle - It's true no-one was killed in the blast. Keep rockin on with the multi-tasking-aerobics and stay warm, I can't believe that I just popped up the shop and I didn't need a coat...it is December 15th isn't it...I'm not stuck in a time warp (I feel a song coming on!!! What a classic...sing along.."lets do the time warp again!!!!) am I?

Anyone else here just luv the songs from Rocky Horror?

Delfino - Hey your little room is so cool - how big is it? There is so much detail, it's great..hope you get top marks for it.

Keniko - Oh good, I wasn't seeing things then..re..wolf

Theforgottenboy - I'm gonna really bug you now...you want to know my favourite slow satch song...well...I just can't do it...I know it's lame but I do just love ALL of Joes stuff and I couldn't possibly put one track above another...how annoying is that...I've tried...honestly I have...but I love a track...then I put another one on and I love that one and so it goes on..pathetic...Crystal Planet is my least favourite album but that is the best I can do..sorry man!

Move Over, Green Day — Velvet Revolver Plan Concept Album

Meanwhile, Scott Weiland is also eyeing another solo LP.

CULVER CITY, California — What Green Day waited seven albums to do Velvet Revolver are doing with their second.

That, of course, would be a concept album.

"It's something I've been wanting to do since the last STP album, since the Shangri-La Dee Da album [in 2001], and it never was completely realized," singer Scott Weiland (formerly of Stone Temple Pilots) said. "You never know until you really completely get there, but it's going in that direction right now."

Weiland refused to reveal any details about the concept but said he and his fellow VR members have been writing for months (see "Velvet Revolver Return To The Road In March, Write New LP In Transit").

"This album really has to make a statement," bassist Duff McKagan added. "We've toured for 18 months. Now we have a brand name. Now we know each other as a band. The first album was just us together at home, a spontaneous product. Now it's time to make that record."

Along with the follow-up to 2004's Contraband, Weiland is also working on the follow-up to his 1998 solo album, 12 Bar Blues (see "Scott Weiland Discusses New Record, Future Of STP"), for which he has 25 songs written.

Weiland intended to release the solo album a few years ago but joined Slash, McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner in Velvet Revolver instead.

"I think I was looking really for a way out of doing drugs," Weiland recalled. "Then I kept on thinking the music [they were sending me] was getting better and better and finally I was just like, 'I think that there really might be a real contribution waiting to happen for rock and roll here. And I think if I join this I can really add something to this and make a real contribution.' "

There's no title or release date yet for either album, but McKagan said to expect a spring release for VR. In the meantime, the band is performing a New Year's Eve show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey.

"It's a tiny little club where people can hang from the rafters." McKagan said. "It's gonna be hot and sweaty and ferocious, but that's rock and roll."

Catching up since Saturday. Lordy time flies!

Marie Noelle: I hope to come back, I'd love to see the fields of Tulips.......a Photographers dream. It would be great to spend time with you & Huib again. It was so wonderful. My friends couldn't believe I didn't have some at the coffee shops, I said it's been years so why bother?! I don't enjoy it. Nuff said. More lethal then ever eh....Keep code name "Scotty" on Standby. LOL

Satriella: I agree, accidents mess with your mind. I only go out if I have to...another vehicle is on the way. Look out, here comes Rockzilla!! LOL Thanks for your concern. ;-))

Slans: I'll tell Santa that he should let one of his Reindeer have a Vacation in Barca...I know you'll take good care of her. ;-))

Michelle: My Dad came up with a brilliant idea.....they have 2 vehicles in Fla can do with 1 so they are going to ship his "Tank" aka "Rockzilla" up to me. It's going to cost $675 and I'll chip in for the Insurance. It's got all wheel drive and could probably run over Toshi.....lol. It's not going to arrive till next week & we are supposed to get snow mixed w/ rain tomorrow nite, you'll get a few inches...we aren't gonna get much I hope. fingers crossed!! Rockzilla is the perfect name, it's kinda a blonde/gold color like Dee Snyder. he-hee! Have you tried Lay's Dill Pickel Potato chips?!! They are the BOMB!! I don't buy em but I was looking for em & couldn't find em...go figure!!

SupaDave: Thanks Dave! I'm glad you didn't become one with a Semi either..it's so damn frightening. One of my worst driving experiences.....I've done a lot of driving. I didn't get my license until I was 18 I think, but I've done ALOT of driving......following bands on the East Coast and just traveling/Road trips...exploring the country. lol My accident record has been ZERO.....I've had people run into me tho.

Traci: Thanks sweetie! Hahaa I called it a tank and just read you suggested a tank too! **High Five** sister! LOL .....I was really scared. Toshi will STAY HOME in bad weather from now on if I can help it!! It was great talking to you the other night. I had 3 IM's going on....I knew I was going to mess up. :-O I really appreciated your thoughts on Love....hear, hear! Beautifully spoken. ;)

Joe: I had a question for you... do you think that its rude when people take pictures of you while you are performing? If it depends on there location... where would that be? Thanks!

Oh Buggers! I just erased the 2nd half of my post since I'd exheaded the damn limit.....I hit ctrl V instead of ctrl C & it copied my 1st part over what I'd written. Damn it ! Now I'm still in Sat or Sunday...not sure. I'll catch up another day....
