Supergroup Velvet Revolver 'Set' for Big Things
By Melinda Newman

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Velvet Revolver -- a new group comprising Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland; Guns N' Roses' Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum; and Suicidal Tendencies' Dave Kushner -- is off to a fast start at radio with first single "Set Me Free."

The tune from the soundtrack to the upcoming movie "The Hulk" is already topping phone requests at modern rock radio outlets WBCN Boston, XTRA San Diego, and KROQ Los Angeles. The soundtrack is due in stores Tuesday via Decca/UMG.

The band, managed by Immortal Entertainment's Dana Millman-Dufine and David Codikow, has recorded a number of songs for its album debut, but it has yet to ink a label deal.

Weiland also has outstanding legal issues to attend to, following a recent arrest for drug possession. He is due back in court July 11.

The long-term status of Stone Temple Pilots is unknown. Group members Robert and Dean DeLeo produced Alien Ant Farm's upcoming album, "truANT," due Aug. 19 from DreamWorks.
