Title: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: metallex78 on July 23, 2005, 01:26:09 AM Taken from blabbermouth.net
VELVET REVOLVER: 2002 Vocalist Audition MP3 Posted Online - July 22, 2005 A VELVET REVOLVER vocalist audition tape, featuring former NEUROTICA/ATHEIST frontman Kelly Shaefer, has been posted online at Shaefer's official web site, KellyShafer.com. The song in question, entitled "Eye for an Eye", was "a live demo recording that Slash and the gang had recorded in L.A. and sent to Kelly to write lyrics and sing on," reads a posting on Shaefer's web site. "After hearing the four songs he did, he was asked to come to L.A. and jam with the band. Many news outlets had reported Kelly as the new singer, the jam went great, and Kelly was almost in. Scott Weiland announced he was leaving STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, and so he was inevitably chosen to be the guy! So this is a rare glimpse of what VELVET REVOLVER ALMOST sounded like." You can download the mp3 here: http://www.unheardonline.com/audio/01-Eye%20for%20an%20Eye.mp3 It sounds ok, the music sounds good, but I don't like the vocals. I'm glad they picked Scott instead of him.

I'm not sure if that's the right scene, but I'm sure I heard that song during the special. Can someone confirm?

Shame about the vocals... I mean, they're far from bad, but they're very 80's rock and they almost make the band seem cartoon like... but the music is fucking superb! Like it! Lets hope it's on the next record!

It's not complete if that's what you mean Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: Top-Hatted One on July 23, 2005, 02:39:39 PM horrible! Snakepit had more groove than this! only good thing about both these songs is the solo in eye for an eye
Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: audjon on July 23, 2005, 05:45:53 PM Yeah, wow!
I was really surprised how great those songs were. Eye for an eye reminds me of Backyard Babies. Nice to know that VR has some great leftovers. Hopefully they will use some of the for the future releases, maybe b-sides.

Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: Pingouirose on July 29, 2005, 08:08:04 AM It's amazing ! :peace:
I think his voice fits better... These songs are very cool too : ok: Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: younggunner on July 29, 2005, 09:14:48 AM Thank God Scott came aboard otherwise it would have been Snakepit all over again...musically and vocally
Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: Luigi on July 29, 2005, 01:30:56 PM imagine what the songs would sound like with Axl's voice
Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: Pinball Wizard on July 29, 2005, 03:16:27 PM Great songs!!! The vocal isn't the best but is way much better then Scott vocals!!! That's for shure : ok:
and I agree with Top-Hatted One when he said that Snakepit had more groove...rod jackson forever!!! :peace: Title: Re: Unreleased VR demo with Kelly Shaefer on vocals Post by: al3x on July 31, 2005, 02:34:32 AM the songs are cool, but they are not VR... they are a different band, much closer to GNR/Snakepit sound.
Did anyone else see a similarity between this guys voice and axl's? i mean some of the endings with the vibrato are identical... |
