If Weiland were to be fired or reunite with STP full time, what next

[SpiritDave]

IF and it's a big IF Weiland leaves to reform STP full time then Slash should call up Sebastian Bach and give him the job........like he should have in the first place!

I really don't think that would happen, and if it would, I don't think Baz would take the job.

Ali

Maybe because he'd be frightened of the band members intentions considering the badmouthing he's done in the recent past lol

He hasn't done any badmouthing to be afraid of reprocussions from.  At least that I'm aware of.  I don't call saying he'd rather hear Tommy Stinson play "Welcome To The Jungle" with Axl instead of hearing Slash and Duff do STP songs, badmouthing.

You're right - That isnt badmouthing.
IMO all Baz is saying is GNR songs are better than STP songs. Obviously i can't speak for Slash or Duff but i have a feeling they might agree! It's just Baz has a crazy way of saying the simplest thing!

The whole idea that some of you are still discussing the possibility of Slash and company using the GN'R name, which doesn't belong to them, is ridiculous.

They could use "Axl Rose" as the name of their new group since there isn't a group (as far as I know) with that name yet. You know, like a "Franz Ferdinant" kind of thing.

"... From Los Angeles, California... "Axl Rose" with Slash, Duff and Matt."

If I'm not mistaken, the same person who owns the GNR name also owns the trademark to the other name in various forms too.  And I kinda have doubts that this person would be stupid enough to sign over his rights to it to them.

From a legal perspective maybe they could use that name, but in reality, there's no real need to.

No they couldn't because there's an insinuation that Axl would be there, so it's misleading and they wouldn't be allowed to do it. They would lose a lawsuit and Axl would collect a check from them. And that shit would get solved quick. Look at the recent issues with the Doors and with the Talking Heads. Very similar and not a lot of luck.

 ... and neglecting everything else, it would be artistic suicide. They would be the laughing stock of the entire industry.

I can't believe you people are discussing that Slash and co. would use the name GN'R or "Axl Rose" as the name of their band. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

one of the few times you made a post i strongly agreed with.  well done.

'Well done' from Jim Bob?

I'm truly honored.

Hey Man, don't take it too seriously. What about "Here Today... Gone To Hell!"? That would be another great bandname. Unfortunately, I think the url heretodaygonetohell.com is already taken.

Anyway, back to the subject...
What if Weiland reunites with STP? Could VR still go on?
Since 'Velvet Revolver' is only an average band name it would be stupid not to change it.

Should Slash and Duff (and Izzy) continue to work with each other?
Hell yeah!!!

Should they look for another singer?
Sure, but I think they know it's not easy to find the right one.

What singer would you like to join Slash and Duff?
I'd prefer it to be Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe, Life of Agony, Medication, Another Animal). He's got the perfect voice and vibe.

Only thing I've ever heard Whitfield Crane on is "Born to raise Hell" by Motorhead. Is ugly kid joe any good? I always assumed they were lame hair metal for some reason. Don't even remember where I got that impression, I kow nothing by or about them.

[AxlsMainMan]

I think Mike Patton would be a pretty cool replacement for Scott.

Just a bit of fun and nothing more. A hypothetical question.

1 person *Axl* arguing he wants his band to be called GN'R
vs
4 people *Slash, Duff, Adler, Izzy* arguing they want thair band to be called GN'R

It's not like a band using another band's name. Its slightly different.

HA Axl would win that in the courts in 5 seconds! 

[Falcon]

Alright, I asked once NOT to go down the ex members using the GNR name road now it's just gotten silly.

So stop - now.

Non negotiable.

In my opinion Ugly Kid Joe was a great band. But that's just me.
I don't think this was ever discussed here but Del James was thanked in the Medication booklet. Medication is another band Whitfield Crane was in. They only released one album "Prince Valium".

would he?

5 guys under the same name. 1 wants to own the name, the other 4 want to own the name also. 1 vs 4.

You were asked nicely to stop:

You've been warned.

I still think they shoulda picked Sebastian Bach in the first place. He's a true rocker with tons of energy and his new album is really good. I really can't stand Weiland.
