Velvet Revolver was a good band, though after two albums it just kind of imploded and never really got back together. In 2011, we posted about Slipknot's Corey Taylor possibly joining the group, though nothing really came of it. So what the hell happened? Apparently "nine or ten songs" happened and we're never going to hear them, Taylor tells Loudwire in a recent interview.
"I think it was ten [songs that I recorded with Velvet Revolver]… I think it was… It's either nine or ten. There was a handful that we wrote, and then there was a handful that I kind of rearranged a little bit based on music that they already had. So it wasn't music that we kind of wrote together. I mean, there were, like, three… I think there was three songs that we wrote together, which were actually pretty sweet. And then the rest of it was me writing to music that they already had that I thought was pretty cool. Yeah, the world will probably never hear 'em, which is fine, because, I mean, I would want another crack at kind of working on some of that stuff anyway. But that will never happen, so it's…. You know, it's all good."
Okay wait, so there's a whole record just sitting around that we're never going to hear? At least give us an EP with the songs that were written during the sessions, if only for the hell of it! Taylor said the band just didn't feel like it had "certain elements" to it and that's why it was never released… but still. Nine or ten songs and that's the conclusion? Dammit.
