Would Velvet Have Done Better With Josh Todd?

[mikegiuliana]

I don't know why anyone rags on weiland, the man did great with his band stp, he has a really good voice.. It's not an axl chris cornell type voice but it suits his style... I think he is not only a good lead singer but a frontman as well...  It's a supergroup, they usually have people in the band from other famous bands..
I look at it this way, if he joins vr would josh todd be thinking about buckcherry, isn'tit better he didn't join and now his band's fans have their lead singer back?

Josh Todd is ok in his own rights but Scott Weiland adds more on every level.   Josh Todd has nothing in his catalogue that even comes close to  songs like "Dead & Bloated", "Plush", "Sex Type Thing", "Interstate Love Song" etc.etc.etc.

Weiland's songwriting skills alone make him 10x more valuable.  It's like trying to compare Nickelback to a classic like Alice in Chains, the first is disposable the latter is indispensable.

Josh todd would have made that band 10000000000 times better than Wieland did..... Josh Todd is a better song writer and front man... not to mention hes not a David Bowie Iggy Pop Wanna be like Shit wieland is....

really better song writer... Stp has had major hits played every day since they began, and he is great live... Where is the buckcherry catalog today.. I remember they had one big usa hit and I never her it today unlike weiland who has hits played every day on regular rock stations to classic rock.

I can list quite a few singers I think are better than Scott, but yet, Scott was a good choice.

yeah they only had realy one hit on the radio.. "Lit Up"  but BOTH album that they had were solid good albums.. Im glad they didnt get alot of radio play anyways  most radio friendly music i dont like...

Thier new album came out in NA today.... check it out!

Scott was the perfect choice.  He is a great frontman.  Not many better.

I knew it was coming out... crazy bitch reminds me of a snakepit part two song.. If people are BC fans then they should be happy josh todd didn't get with VR..  Well matt did say no stripper girl, this could be why he lost out

yeah in a way im glad BC is back... too much drama if he would have joined VR... at least BC are putting out new music and they dont have the drama and headlines and infighting anymore that VR has.... BC is all about the music.... and i know Josh Todd would have never slandered Axl in a public statement  either.... Josh Todd and BC just plain rock.... VR is too much drama and the music isnt that good anyways... any of BC's cd's blow away contraband.

I agree, does VR have anything as good as Lit Up?  I say no.  I like Buckcherry a lot.

Slither shits all over Lit Up

Sorry but it truely doesn't.
I'm a huge Velvet Revolver fan but "Lit Up" is just an awesome song.
"Brooklyn" is also a sweet song of there new album.

I think that BC don't even want mainstream success. If they did they wouldn't make videos not suitable for TV. (i.e. Crazy Bitch)

This is your opinion vs mine.
I like Lit Up, but Slither is a better song in my opinion, so there ya go!

[mikegiuliana]

I feel the same way I like slither better then lit up and definetly better then crazy bitch. but I do like the songs..

Honestly about josh slandering axl in public, you don't know what could have happened if he felt axl made up shit about him and sided with slash.. Also half the drama in vr is made up rumors... I am yet to see all this fighting and drama as any kind of fact.. Finally they toured a year and a half they released music mid 2004, another song in 05, they did shows up intil this past new years.. An album every few years is quite normal, so this is not some big wait in between albums.. Vr members have money there is no urgency to break out albums as fast as some up n coming group that is yet to make it big.. if I get one album every two years I am happy, plus a year or better tour..

It was just very unprofessional for Scot to do what he did. It wasnt his place to get involved in GnR in fighting. I think he should have been a bigger man and just let Slash speak for himself..(which he has yet to do)..... the drama may be made up rumors or may not be but that is the drama i wouldnt like surrounding one of my favorite bands (slash quitting, duff in rehab, lawsuits, all that crap).. Rumors or not nobody realy knows whats going on with VR right now and Im just saying that it takes away from what a good rock band should be.. IMO.. Im not trying to take anything away from what VR have done.. They have done alot in a short amount of time... I really do like Josh Todd as i feel he has stayed true to his music and doesnt get caught up in all the bullshit that he could have been submitted to had he joined a band like VR..... In the end it should all be about the music and being a great rock n roll band... VR IMO will always be a "rival" or "side project" to Axl and Guns n Roses...  VR would have been great with Josh Todd but in the end im glad BC are back together as i like them better....

[mikegiuliana]

yeah but all the drama is basically metal,slduge bullshit that only we notice.. Regular vr fans aren't even aware of this, just us freaks.. I am also glad for josh that he got back with his band, everyone wins..

hell yeah... theres more than enough room for bands like Buckcherry and VR!

[newgnr]

they wouldn't have done better as far as sales and what not with josh

BUT

they wouldn't have sucked as much with him either. 


SCOTT SUUUCCCKKKSS! STICK WITH STP!

[mikegiuliana]

but stp is a million times more accomplished and successfull then BC, how does scott suck.. His songs are played day in and day out on the radio till this day...  You might hear lit up if someone requests it... you can't even say well new kids or nsync had tons of radio play because once their trend was over you heard nothing of their music.....

If josh joined vr you'd all be like he's trying to be like axl
