Scott Weiland’s Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: Velvet Revolver, Other Projects, & Solo Work

As previously promised, here's part 2 of 2 in a series devoted to the music of the recently deceased Scott Weiland, rock star. What follows are his hit songs with Velvet Revolver, as well as a few songs he did with other bands and several of his solo songs.
