LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Velvet Revolver is putting together material that could wind up as a concept album for its second release on RCA.
"Hopefully we'll be in the studio in February or March," bassist Duff McKagan told Billboard.com. "It would be nice to have something out by July."
Frontman Scott Weiland said the band is placing a single theme on the set.
"With the first record, it was kind of a feeling out process on a technical level," he said. "We were sort of bonded by blood in a sense, because we'd gone through very similar circumstances. On this record, I have a real concept in mind. Because of that, it will be a very album-oriented record instead of a singles-driven record."
McKagan said the band has been "hashing out ideas" at drummer Matt Sorum's home studio.
Velvet Revolver's 2004 album, "Contraband," debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 1.8 million copies in the United States.
