Why Velvet Revolver Will Reunite For One Show

  Velvet Revolver will reunite for one show only next Thursday at the L.A. House Of Blues despite not playing with Scott Weiland for more than four years.  Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner put the band back together for his best friend John O'Brien who was found in his Chicago hotel room last August.  The show will be a benefit for  O'Brien's wife and family.

  Kushner told Rolling Stone, he knew that bringing the band back together would be newsworthy and that was the plan.  "I'm doing it so that this sells out and that money can go to her, period."  The band is only scheduled to play the January 12th gig and Kushner says they are taking a cautious approach at playing any other shows.  "We haven't played together in four years, and so we're really just like, 'Let's see how this goes,"

  Also appearing that night will be Maroon 5, Sheryl Crow, Tom Morello, and Fishbone.
