Scott Weiland Denies Involvement in New Supergroup
Last night, a press release emerged noting that former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver 
frontman Scott Weiland was the voice for a new ‘supergroup’ called Art of Anarchy. This appeared strange to Riffyou.com, considering that it was recently confirmed that Weiland and his new band The Wildabouts would release an album in March.
Turns out, Weiland found this announcement strange as well. After word began to circulate that he would join Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal (Guns ‘N Roses), John Moyer (Disturbed) and twin brothers Jon and Vince Votta for a project that would deliver “over-the-top songs that break rock music boundaries with an all-or-nothing attitude,” Weiland took to Facebook to clear up the matter.
He wrote: “I just saw some press about a side project called Art of Anarchy that I worked on last year – I wrote and put my vocals down for these guys and had fun doing a couple of videos too, we had a lot of fun. When they find their front man to hit the road and play some dates, check them out. In the meantime, if you want to check out where I’m at RIGHT NOW, check out my band, SCOTT WEILAND AND THE WILDABOUTS. I couldn’t be more excited about our new record, Blaster, that comes out March 31st.”
That said, an audio teaser for Art of Anarchy was revealed, as well as the claim that an album will be coming out in the spring. It’ll be interesting to see if the vocals Weiland cut will make the album, or if the band will take the hint that he’s distancing himself from this project.
