In March 2006 Axl Rose's lawyer released the following statement: "In October of 2005 Slash made an unannounced 5:30 AM visit to Axl Rose's house. Not appearing to be under the influence, Slash came to inform Axl that: 'Duff was spineless,' 'Scott Weiland was a fraud,' that he 'hates Matt Sorum' and that in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself 'the stronger.' Based on his conduct in showing up at Rose's home, Axl was hopeful that Slash would live up to his pronouncements that he wanted to end the war and move on with life. Unfortunately that did not prove to be the case."
Slash didn't comment on Axl's press release - but a Velvet Revolver spokeswoman did promise we would hear from Slash "within days" - Slash's press release never came however Scott Weiland (of Velvet Revolver) posted this on their website:
Go to the gym motherfucker, or if you prefer, get a new wig motherfucker. I think I?ll resist the urge to ?stoop? to your level. Oh shit, here it comes, you fat, botox faced, wig wearin? fuck! O.K. I feel better now. Don?t think for a second we don?t know where those words came from. Your unoriginal, uncreative little mind, the same mind that had to rely on its bandmates to write melodies and lyrics. Who?s the fraud now bitch? Damn, I couldn?t imagine people writing for me. How many albums have you put out man and how long did it take the current configuration of this so-called ?band? to make this album? How long? And without the only guys that validated the name. How dare you! Shame on you! How dare you call our bass player ?spineless?. We toured our album over a year and a half. How many shows have you played over the last ten years? Oh, that?s right - you bailed out on your long awaited comeback tour, leaving your remaining fans feeling shall we say a trifle miffed?! I won?t even list what I?ve accomplished because I don?t need to. What we?re talking about here is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory of the asshole he once was.
It was removed two days later.
On 25 April 2006, Duff McKagan appeared on Opie & Anthony on XM radio. He shot down all rumors of Slash leaving Velvet Revolver saying that they were just "Bullshit". Two days later, Slash and his wife Perla filed for divorce in Los Angeles. It is believed that Perla, who is also the manager of Velvet Revolver, may have been the source of the false rumors regarding Velvet Revolver's supposed breakup as well as those regarding Slash rejoining Axl Rose. Slash has yet to officially comment, but it seems extremely unlikely that he has left the band, as they are currently working on their second album, Libertad.
