Title: Matt Sorum Says Velvet Revolver Is 'Real Close' To Finding New Singer Post by: FunkyMonkey on December 17, 2010, 04:40:15 PM MATT SORUM Says VELVET REVOLVER Is 'Real Close' To Finding New Singer - Dec. 17, 2010
VELVET REVOLVER have been on hiatus since singer Scott Weiland left the group in April of 2008, but recently the band has been auditioning vocalists. Drummer Matt Sorum told VH1 Radio Networks' Dave Basner about the singer search, "We're real close [to finding the right person]. We got a guy that we like but we haven't sat around a table and said to each other, 'Okay, let?s shake hands and do this.' Hopefully we'll be able to? I mean, I know this has been going on for a while but the reality of it is [VELVET REVOLVER guitarist] Slash has been on the road [promoting his solo album] for the last year. We only started rehearsing last week after a year off and we're going to rehearse again in January with this particular person." So what's next for the group? "After that process, we're gonna sit down and decide if he's the guy and then at that point we'll make a record and go out on the road and tour again," Sorum said. "We all know that we want to make the right record and the right decisions and if it takes another year or two, it probably won't happen, but I feel very confident it's probably going to happen in 2011." http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=151096 Title: Re: Matt Sorum Says Velvet Revolver Is 'Real Close' To Finding New Singer Post by: gnrjanus on December 17, 2010, 05:59:34 PM Coming from the guy who didn't even lay eyes on the first real good vocalist(the guy from England from the Inside out: rise of Velvet Revolver) they really must have a guy that's real close to the deal then!

I like Frankie but I don't think he is the one. I'm still in the "I'll believe when I see it" stage with VR. :)
Title: Re: Matt Sorum Says Velvet Revolver Is 'Real Close' To Finding New Singer Post by: gnrjanus on December 21, 2010, 10:19:25 AM I was just saying richie edwards more to... he was known and is a younger dude who I see could fit into VR but We'll see the new guy whenever they've got one!

Yeah, Slash is still saying in interviews that they are looking for an "unknown" a "local hero" -- maybe something changed. Title: Re: Matt Sorum Says Velvet Revolver Is 'Real Close' To Finding New Singer Post by: sleeper on December 21, 2010, 03:10:48 PM Someone with a feeling posted this name on the VR forum Rich Luzzi from Rev theory.
