Noah Weiland Covers Velvet Revolver’s “Slither” with Video Featuring AI-Generated Slash and Duff Making Out

Noah Weiland has covered “Slither” by his late father Scott Weiland’s band Velvet Revolver, complete with a trippy video featuring AI versions of Slash and Duff McKagan making out with each other.

Earlier this year, Noah covered “Sex Type Thing” by Scott’s band Stone Temple Pilots, accompanied by a video inspired by “a dream I had long ago about seeing my father again.”

On Father’s Day (June 15th), Noah released a cover of “Slither” with a wild effects-laden video, depicting the young singer walking through water as a number of bizarre scenes play out. At certain points we see Scott holding Noah as a small child, a Spider-Man battle, and perhaps most oddly, AI-generated images of Velvet Revolver members Slash and Duff McKagan locking lips with one another amid a sea of money.

“The video is supposed to be like a gnarly fever dream,” Weiland told Rolling Stone. “One second I’m running away from my own demons, the next I’m lusting over a girl that I have a crush on trying to save her. I even get a visit from my father in the dream as well, which is something that happens to me in real life as well. I basically did the whole video from my iPhone lying in bed, same way I record all of my music too.”

Noah first emerged as the singer of the short-lived band Suspect208, also featuring the sons of Slash and Metallica’s Robert Trujillo. Over the past several years, he’s released a number of original solo singles, and he’s working on a new solo EP titled Crashout Junkie.

“I don’t want my entire identity based off my father’s work,” Noah remarked. “I would rather make music on my own terms that is true to myself but the fans will love as well. I’ve recently been going back to my rock/grunge/punk roots for my solo music, especially a lot heavier songs for my upcoming EP Crashout Junkie.”

Asked whether he’d front a reunited Velvet Revolver, similar to how Sublime are now fronted by late singer Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob, Noah replied, “In a perfect world I think we would all want a Velvet Revolver reunion tour, although most of these guys act like I don’t exist. I’m always open to opportunities though.”

“Slither” appeared on Velvet Revolver’s debut album, 2004’s Contraband, and topped both the Mainstream Rock and Alternative airplay charts.
