Scott Weiland’s son just dropped an AI music video tribute for the Velvet Revolver song “Slither”

Key Takeaways

• Noah Weiland covered “Slither” as a Father’s Day tribute using AI video technology
• The spontaneous recording session led to a viral social media release
• He continues balancing respect for his father’s legacy while establishing his independent artistic voice

Noah Weiland has released his own rendition of Velvet Revolver’s 2004 hit “Slither,” complete with an AI-generated music video, as a Father’s Day tribute to his late father, Scott Weiland, first reported by Rolling Stone. The young artist created the entire production from his iPhone while lying in bed, describing the surreal visuals featuring Slash, his father, and even Spider-Man as resembling “a wild fever dream”.

The cover emerged spontaneously during an acoustic session with friend Spencer Carr Reed, who began playing the iconic riff. “I thought, ‘What if we actually attempted to make a video for this? Would people go crazy for it?’” Weiland recalled. Within minutes, they captured a solid take that would become this tribute release.

So far it has resonated well with fans. Here’s a few YT reactions:

Your voice is your own which is f’ng amazing btw! I loved this song when it came out and you have taken me back 20 yrs to a wonderful time. Thank you. I mean it, seriously, it was an extremely wonderful trip.“

This marks another chapter in Noah’s complex relationship with his father’s legacy, following his earlier cover of Stone Temple Pilots’ “Sex Type Thing”. While some fans envision him leading a reformed Velvet Revolver, Noah remains realistic about such prospects, noting that “most of these guys behave as if I’m invisible”. He’s currently working on his upcoming EP “Crashout Junkie” while building his own musical identity.
