| New
Floyd cover coming in May
Song to appear in film remake soundtrack
The
Project, a band consisting of former members of Guns
n' Roses, will record a version of Pink
Floyd's "Money" for an upcoming film soundtrack.
The song will
appear in the motion picture soundtrack for "The Italian Job,"
a remake of the 1969 Michael Caine film. The movie will star Mark
Wahlberg, Edward Norton and Charlize
Theron. The soundtrack will be released May 26.
The recording
will feature Scott Weiland of Stone Temple
Pilots on vocals, and guitarist David Kushner
from Loaded. The other members of The Project are Slash,
Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.
The recording
has lead to increased speculation that Weiland will permanently
join The Project as the band's vocalist.
"Scott
is doing this one because that's the voice that they wanted and
they like working with him," a spokesman for Slash told Rolling
Stone, who added that a number of vocalists are being considered.
Floyd's "Have
a Cigar" was recorded by Foo Fighters with
Brian May of Queen for the 2000
"Mission Impossible II" soundtrack.
Addendum:
The Project has renamed itself Velvet Revolver.
