If Weiland ever left VR for any reason

Billy Idol would do an excellent job...................

[Jim Bob]

Now, would you mind if Jim Bob and I start talking about what Iggy has managed to do without Duff and Slash in this thread?



/jarmo

it would be just as relevant as talking Axl.

why would Axl come up in the VR section?

A. because some slash troll doesn't know how to defend his lil god.
B. See A
C. All of the Above

[fuckin crazy]

I think Josh Todd would be a good fit and they'd get back to some meaner, nastier, bluesier hard rock with him. They should've gone with Josh Todd to begin with.

Ali

That would be the shit ... can you imagine 

[darth monkey]

Or what about Steven Tyler, I'm not saying Aerosmith is breaking up or anything. I've always really liked Tyler and I bet they would come up with some sick ass shit.

yes, interesting choice. i'm sure slash would love to work with him. great singer/performer, good songwriter.
could be exciting to see them together.

[Fingers]

I think they were close to hiring Josh Todd-I remember him saying in a interview he thought they were making great music, things were going great, and Slash walked in one day and said he wasn't into it, or can't do it anymore.

why would Axl come up in the VR section?

like just explained to you, this is a forum dedicated to GNR, for which Axl is the singer.
if you have looked around in this forum, Axl have a tendency to pop up in any section, not just the GNR one. it's because this is a GNR forum above all, and their presence are valid in any section. blah.

on topic, Kid Rock..? fuck no! and Im incredibly happy that they decided against working with Josh Todd and Bach too. Bach is just not anywhere near being my favourite singer, he's funny and has a wide range, that's about it.
Todd, he sounds the same on just about everything he's done, and some of his lyrics are just ridiculously bad.

Edit: someone suggested the Ugly Kid Joe singer, I would have loved to see that!

yeah, it would be really cool to hear some english rock injected into slash's and duff's music.

[DeN]

did they tried to approach robert plant for velvet revolver ?

imagine a line-up with Slash Duff & Robert Plant, ouch, even Axl would be impressed.

[jarmo]

did they tried to approach robert plant for velvet revolver ?

No.

The people mentioned at the time were: Sebastian Bach, Travis Meeks (Days of the New), Kelly Shaefer (Neurotica), Josh Todd (Buckcherry), A. Jay Popoff (Lit), Todd Kerns (The Age Of Electric, Static In Stereo) and Mike Patton.

bullshit, thats just you slashites excuse for pointing out everything wrong with Axl whenever someone says something you dont like about a member of VR.   Hiding behind Axl's (supposed) faults to defend your lil heros is stupid.

nope, that's the absolute truth.
maybe if you woke up and smelled the coffee, you'd actually see this.

now please tell me, what's the Finckites excuse for pointing out everything wrong with Slash every time someone says something you don't like about a GNR member?

Oh yeah, that name rings a bell....



/jarmo

[DeN]

yep i remember about mike patton & baz. don't know the others, except maybe buckcherry, i've listened a couple of songs and wasn't impressed at all.

mike patton was my first choice, but i understand he wasn't interested 

[monkeychow]

Regarding the bringing of Axl into the topic I think the logic behind it was as follows:

The original concept of this thread is a "what would VR be like with another singer?" type thread.

Someone then posted words to the effect that what makes VR unsuccessful (to some) is Scott - the evidence presented for this was that a comparision of Slash + Duffs work in VR, is less cool (to some) than their work in GNR. The implication being the difference is that Scott could not get a good peformance out of them and Axl did. That is, it seems to be a theory that we can blame some members of the band for the overall performace of a whole group.

I believe the poster who then asked about Axl's post GNR work did so to demonstrate that the above theory does not hold correct.

If we did examine GNR using the same faulty logic...you could say that when working with the old band Axl released #1 records, and since working with Robin he has been (as yet) unable to do so. Now if we apply the logic used in regards to Slash and Scott to this equation, you could say that Robin is the reason that the new era of GNR has not been as successful as the old. Now I know thar Jarmo, Jim Bob and a host of others here would disagree violently with this. And THATS THE POINT - if its illogical in relation to GNR, then its also illogical in relation to VR.

And i think that was what the poster was trying to say - rather than simply being an Axl/Slash/VR/GNR debate troll for the hell of it.

For the record i'm not saying I agree with these views, i'm only posting it as it seemed to me thats what was being said and it was misunderstood.

[jarmo]

I understood the comparison, but it has nothing to do with the topic.

The only reason Axl was mentioned was because it's more interesting to some here to talk shit about Axl than to admit that VR isn't "all that".


Nine times out of ten, Axl's name is brought in to validate something "bad" about VR.

Example:

Somebody:  I think their new album isn't anything special.
VR fan: At least they release albums unlike Axl.



It's like I said, should we discuss what Iggy Pop has done without Duff and Slash just because those two worked with him in 1990?

Hey, bring in Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Steve Jones and whoever else has ever worked with any of them.


It's not really the topic....

That was the point.



Personally I think Slash will try putting out a solo album after VR. He was already working on one before the band got started.





/jarmo

[darth monkey]

That's exactly the point. It's a very circular argument, and anyone that has drawn a circle before will know when you finish drawing a circle you get right back to the beginning and then you keep going and that gets you absolutely nowhere.
