Over the weekend, Slash flew to Las Vegas to take part in PokerStars.net’s North American Poker Tour Celebrity Charity Tournament. On the plane to Sin City though, he ran into Scott Weiland, who was in Velvet Revolver with Slash until acrimoniously leaving the group. The guitarist spoke to us about the reunion.

“After we got off, the plane landed, it was cool. It was nice to see him, we talked for a minute, we walked through the airport together. It was the first time we talked since the last show of the tour.”

Slash went on to say that things were great between him and the Stone Temple Pilots singer.

“It was really cool and STP has a new record about to come out and I was really excited about it. It’s just, I don’t know, now that we’re not sort of at odds with each other in the band I have no issues.”

As for the poker tournament, Slash, who was at a table with Christian Slater, Marlon Wayans, UFC fighter Tito Ortiz and World Series of Poker winner Chris Moneymaker, didn’t win. Check out pictures from the event at NAPT.com.
