Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver has had a tumultuous relationship with band members from both bands. Now, he has opened up to both Playboy and MTV about the issues he had with Velvet Revolver, blaming egos for his split from the band.

Weiland told MTV: "Velvet Revolver fell apart because there were too many big egos in the band – and I'm including myself. It wasn't necessarily about bad egos, just big egos, and unfortunately, it just mistakenly kind of eroded."

He also told Playboy: "When I told Slash I was gonna do some festivals with Stone Temple Pilots, he said, Thank you for being straight up with me. It wasn't until later that another member of the band had some issues with it.

"It's a shame certain people have a hard time letting go of past resentments and try to throw them onto other people.

"When you start bickering about little piddly financial things, it takes the fun out of it for me. We're all doing pretty good, so if you're going to fuck the relationship up over this, I don't want to be involved."
