in hindsight scott weiland was in fact the best choice by far!

[Jizzo]

All 3 would of been good choices.

I've really been meaning to go see Josh todd play. I just found out he played tonight at the Whisky. He's playing the Roxy tommarow, but I can't go unless I break a date, and I think she's worth more than Josh Todd.

[Guns N Ballz]

I like Josh Todd's solo cd. It's got some great rock on it. I've also listened to Time Bomb recently and I don't see how it was so bad. "You" is a great song. Track 13 on Time Bomb is even better. "Porno Star" is fun as hell but I couldn't see them playing it on radio due to the content. Only rap can get away with blatent sexual remarks like "I'm a mother fuckin porno staaaaaaaar" or "Life ain't nothing but bitches and money." haha  

Scott is my first choice but I think Josh Todd would've been great too.

Josh Todd to me has the best rock n roll image of any of those guys, and a great voice.I heard he is amazing in concert too. I love the song "lawless and lulu" what a kick ass song that is.

What is his solo album named?

Wasn't he forming a new band named "shots fired"? Or was that the name of his album?

Anyway, he would have been great too. Any of those guys could have turned it out really.

He is great in concert. I saw the tail end of one of the last Buckcherry shows (3 songs) and I wish I had gotten there sooner.

You Made Me

Don't know abot that.

Scott was the perfect choice and his influence is all over Contraband.  Sebatian Bach is good and Skid Row were good for what they were but I would have been highly upset if they chose him. I also liked Subhuman Race by the way. Anyway out of all the singers they were looking at the other one that intrigued me the most was Travis Meeks. Did he turn them down or something??? If he did I bet he feels like a prick now.

[London Hudson]

I like Scott but I think bach fits in more with the whole slash,duff and matt sound, I bought the contraband album I like it but to me it sounds to much like STP Im not a big fan of STP. yEAH BACH MAY NOT BE  that great of a song writer but being around slash and duff would of helped him out alot. Bach sounds more closer to axl than Scott does instead of the rock era it sounds more like the grunge era again and if they were looking for a stage presence Jason Todd would kick some ass. I cant wait for the GNFR

[D]

i think thats a big reason london they didnt choose bach, cause he was close to axl's singing style

i think recording the record and everything they made a concious effort to not sound like guns or STp and i dont thnk they sound like either

even slash's solo's, in GNR he always went over the top and just went off, on the contraband record everything seems toned down a tad, it still kicks ass but slash u can tell has evolved actually and his style has changed to fit with the new band, and thats awesome!

everytime i listen to this record though i like scott more and more and i think he is truly phenomenal and great

i lisen to contraband everyday and scott's vocal melodies are unbelievable,Bach can hit higher notes but he cant create vocal melodies like scott can

[DeadHorse]

I think Scott is the by far the best choice for this band.

BAch would of been constantly compared to Axl, there's no escaping that. Plus as mention b/f his song writing skills are less than par.

I bought Josh Todd's cd thinking it would be great.
There are a couple of catchy songs but for the most part it's the same old same old.
Personally, I think it sucks and blows.
 
Scott has proven himself ( in STP and now with VR)  in arrangements, harmonies, song writing and is an awssome front man.  I saw VR in Toronto and the chemistry in this band is nothing I have ever seen b/f.

Scott rocks, good choice boys.

Later,

They turned him down.

[Skeletor]

I also think Izzy would've been the best choice by far, if only he'd been willing. I'd actually be pretty hyped up about this band if Izzy was a part of it.. maybe they would've been able to include more substance and soul with Izzy's aid.

[Thorned Rose]

I'm not all that sure if Scott was the best decision.

He's got a lot to deal with. I was thinking and if Scott get busted again or whatever he's in jail this time. I mean if Scott messes up what will happen to VR?

He is a small liability man...

I like Bach's singing more then Weiland's. Bach can't write lyrics worth a damn though.

I like Skid ROw, and I think Bach has co-written 3 songs... never written one himself...
Bach:
Singer - yes
Writer - no
Worry - no

Weiland:
Singer - yes
Writer - yes
Worry - yes


Take your pick... right now, I like Scott. If he fucks up I'll wish for Bach
