Chester Bennington is not in Velvet Revolver
Chester Bennington is NOT taking over vocal duties for Velvet Revolver. The rumor, according to Chester, started when Slash asked him to play a show in Vegas.
"I'm friends with all the guys in Velvet Revolver and have played with all of them before. I'm friends with Scott too. I think the rumor that I was going to join Velvet Revolver started because (guitarist) Slash asked me if I'd come play a show with them in Vegas right around the time that Scott left the band. Timing-wise, it didn't work out for me, though. Maybe people assumed that invitation meant I was joining the band."
But Chester says he would join Velvet Revolver if he was done with Linkin Park and not friends with Scott.
"If I wasn't in Linkin Park anymore and I didn't know Scott, though, I'd say yes. Who wouldn't? The music is great and it would be a really cool opportunity."
