Scott Weiland reveals Big Egos was behind the split from Velvet Revolver. Scott Weiland says Big Egos among Velvet Revolver members, including his own, caused band problems.

The details are out in two interviews with MTV and Playboy Magazine.

Weiland says to MTV: “Velvet Revolver fell apart because there were too many big egos in the band – and I’m including myself. It wasn’t necessarily about bad egos, just big egos, and unfortunately, it just mistakenly kind of eroded.”

Then he says to Playboy: “When I told Slash I was gonna do some festivals with Stone Temple Pilots, he said, Thank you for being straight up with me. It wasn’t until later that another member of the band had some issues with it.

“It’s a shame certain people have a hard time letting go of past resentments and try to throw them onto other people.

“When you start bickering about little piddly financial things, it takes the fun out of it for me. We’re all doing pretty good, so if you’re going to fuck the relationship up over this, I don’t want to be involved.”
