Who Should the Next VR Singer be?

[MeanBone]

slash doesn't work with girls in a band. he's more of an admission by penis only kinda guy

[Genesis]

The next singer should be: Someone unknown, with real talent.

That seems unlikely too. At this stage of their careers, they would probably prefer someone established in the industry. I'm sure they wouldn't want to have some noob as their frontman, talented or not.

Actually has some Weiland qualities to his voice, but with more range and power.  I would take him!

I also hear a lot of Layne Staley/Cantrell in his voice.

I wonder if he could do rock as well? He does have more range......   I will look on youtube to see if guy has pipes or a one trick pony.

Holy Crap, this is the guy from Vergos Merlot..... Ha, they were made up of guys from my hometown.  He was a touring bass player for Creed on a couple tours.  He is pretty solid.  Wonder if he could sing dirty and gritty.

This song features him and Scott Stapp, he is a much better singer than S. Stapp.  Decent tune.  Virgos was a good band.

why get guys like that anyway, they should aim for the stars and give robert plant a call

Then they could cover every GNR and Led Zep song ever and then two fan bases (Current GNR and Led Zep fans) would hate VR.  But VR fans would be very, very happy.

i'd like them more then i do at the moment they could play rocket queen and cover both it and the rover at the same time
they'd have a real frontman and a legend with a vocal range, not gonna happen though

[guns_n_motley]

No! not another grunge style singer

if Slash wants to keep making modern sounding Rock, im Done with VR...I want to hear slash ripping it up to some raw guitar riffs...not playing grunge-lite...

actually, i take that back...i always listen/buy new stuff that the gnr guys come out with!

[axleire]

I can't see Slash doing a Santana-esque album with different singers, mainly because he loves to be on the road so much and that just doesn't work with that type of album.  I think he needs a band around him.

I think they'll probably want to continue with a new singer, whether under the VR name or not, and I think it would be a success coz most of their fans are fans of Slash and Duff.........but I dunno if they'll be up for going though that whole search again coz it took them so long to find a singer the last time.

It isn't gonna be Baz or Josh from Buckcherry......they've already tried them and it didn't work out.

Whatever happens I hope I get to see them play again in some shape or form.  Saw them in Dublin 2 weeks ago.  Two absolutely electric shows. Shame it's all over!

I agree!

[Jizzo]

i would be quite happy if he were scott's replacement and made a new record with the band

[Verse Chorus Verse]

That Brett guy doesn't actually sound too bad. I might have to check out Dark New Day.
