10 Amazing Rock Albums We Never Got To Hear
10. Slipknot / Velvet Revolver
There aren't that many supergroups who can actually be considered all that super. For as much as people might not like to admit it, putting your favorite artists together onto one record doesn't really mean that sparks will fly automatically. While Velvet Revolver was originally an exception to this rule, the grungy sounds of Scott Weiland could have been replaced with something even better.
Before the STP frontman actually got to working with Slash and Duff McKagan, their pursuits for a singer eventually led them to Corey Taylor, who was just making waves off of the success of Slipknot. While Stone Sour was also making the rounds with songs like Bother, Taylor was still undercover enough to play as a relative unknown among the newly minted rock legends. Though Taylor has said how much of a fanboy he was during rehearsals, there were some riffs that happened which never saw the light of day.
Deciding to use Weiland's gnarly bass register, most of Corey's work with the band was put in a vault, with neither party having time to get around to it given their time in their own respective outfits. Then again, with Slash saying that Velvet Revolver has some unfinished business to attend to, maybe it's time that we finally get the metal-tinged rock and roll that we were always waiting for.
