Who Should the Next VR Singer be?

[Falcon]

I've yet to see him live though, maybe I should try to catch a Camp Freddy show one of these days.

Here's a clip a Billy in front man mode with Circus Diablo doing a cover
of The Cult's "Rain".

He nails it big time.

Doubt he'd have any problems with the VR material...

that was great!  now I do want to see him live! Thing is, most CF shows are benefit shows - they're either invitiation-only or you have to pony up a bunch of cash for some cause or another.  Now we just need Matt to pop the question to Billy on the radio show, maybe he could drop down on one knee too while explaining that he should never be late for a gig.

I definatley want 1-2 more albums of VR.

Gavin Rossdale is doing a solo thing, and I know it isn't going to happen but I wouldn't mind seeing Gavin at the helm of this beast singing some things, but it wouldn't work.

Bach is a great choice... why not!!!

Eh, Baz is undeniably talented but none the less lame. Everything he sings and especially writes just seem so cheesy and contrived. Not that VR are a really "deep" band to begin with sans a couple of songs but I have just never been a fan. That being said I am not at all worried about him becoming the next VR frontman for a multitude of reasons including VR not being interested 5 years ago and Baz's newfound friendship and much deserved loyalty to Axl.

They're doing public shows at the Roxy every Thursday in May, $25 I believe..

after thinking about it, I think they should take about six months off with the search for a singer-I'm fearing another Rod Jackson nightmare-I would wait and see if someone established wants the gig

rod jackson kicks ass, haven't read what slash said about him in his autobiography though?

[Fingers]

I loved Eric Dover and the first Snakepit album, and just hated the second one-not sure if it was Rod Jackson's fault-I should not blame him-I was surprised at what Slash said about him-he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, though-it's a matter of taste, though-it's music, everyone has different tastes

Sheldon Tarsha

he is awesome. i don't see it though.

As much as I hate Kid Rock, that would be a great move for the band.

Then again, someone has to write the lyrics... so maybe not (see: "American Baddass")

A lot of people are throwing out names of guys who are WAY TOO successful to even consider fronting VR at this point.  No offense to Slash and co., but Kid Rock sells out shows on his own, why would he give that up to join up with a group that has had trouble getting along with lead singers?  I think they'd be better off going with someone under the radar.  Someone with less of an ego, that wouldn't mind letting Slash have the spotlight.

If I could sing, I would do it and feel honored!

Before you flame, think, could Rob Thomas handle it?  I would say his range is equal to Scott's and he is a terrific song writer.  Only thing is he is "pop" rock.  Could he transition? 

I think we need a real rock guy, but he would be interesting.
