In April 2008, Weiland was fired from Velvet Revolver and reunited with Stone Temple Pilots. The band released Libertad in 2007, driven by the release of the single " She Builds Quick Machines", and embarked on a tour with Alice in Chains. With their single " Slither", they won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Despite positive reviews, some critics initially described Velvet Revolver as a mere combination of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns N' Roses, and criticizing them for a "disconnection" between Weiland and the rest of the band. In 2004, the band achieved commercial success with their debut album, Contraband. The band formed in 2002 and was active until 2008, when Weiland left the band abruptly to rejoin Stone Temple Pilots. Velvet Revolver was an American hard rock and alternative metal supergroup consisting of Guns N' Roses members Slash (lead guitar), Duff McKagan (bass, backing vocals) and Matt Sorum (drums, backing vocals), alongside Dave Kushner (rhythm guitar) formerly of punk band Wasted Youth, and Scott Weiland (lead vocalist) formerly of Stone Temple Pilots.
