Velvet Revolver Says Bye To RCA
RCA Records has said OK to Velvet Revolver’s request to be released from its record contract.
The band made the request In June hoping to be free from obligations while pursuing a singer to replace Scott Weiland.
The band “felt they needed to have complete freedom to go through whatever process it would take to accomplish the goal … freedom from any timelines, pressures, influences or interests other than finding THE best guy,” according to a statement.

The band released two records with RCA – 2004’s Contraband and 2007’s Libertad.
“The band is thankful that RCA understood the task at hand and has allowed the band to continue on their own,” the band’s manager Carl Stubner said, according to a statement.
“This band is comprised of some of the greatest rock musicians of the past three decades. They have built a brand with a solid foundation on a global level. And their sole focus has been, and continues to be, finding the singer/songwriter who will stand alongside them.”
