Who Should the Next VR Singer be?

[Neemo]

This is the man!!

Is that Anselmo?

um no 

[Jizzo]

I've been following the "rock" scene for awhile out in LA and am positive that if they want to get a new singer this is the guy:   Hal Ozsan.  He was the founder/songwriter/lead singer of the up and coming band Poets and Pornstars.  For some reason he recently quit that band, so he would be available!

He'd be a great choice to get back to real rock n roll!  Check this video out and see if you agree.

yeah, he'd kick ass, one of the best alternatives i've seen

but i guess they wanna have a grungesinger 

[Smoking Guns]

I wonder when we will start getting some names.  I predict first week of April.

Ozzy

[Bodhi]

they should have went with Josh Todd back in 2003...they blew that one.....now considering Buckcherry sells more records than VR I doubt Josh would be very interested...

[Ines_rocks!]

Ok... this is a stupid idea BUT what about Serj Tankian (System of a Down?s singer)? He?s been working solo lately... and no news about System of a Down getting together in anytime soon (sadly of course). And I mean... the guy is great, he goes from highs to lows and all that lol... you know what I mean! What do you think?

[AxlsMainMan]

I still say Mike Patton, or Maynard James Keenan

He is very political - I don't think the other guys would go for that. At least, I hope not. I have to turn off the radio whenever Tankian or SOAD come on.

I kind of doubt that Serj would be interested. He has a lot of material to release, and he has stated that he will be back in his studio working on another album. Too, SOAD is on hiatus, So, technically they are still together.

Serj with VR......

[Ana Vader]

No matter what happens, I just HOPE that they DON'T go down the route of reality TV.. God please no..

I reckon the three of them at least could keep going and get a new singer.. and sure maybe continue as VR.. or I suppose, most likely reform as a new band..

Izzy joining them would be unreal but probably unlikely because the guy doesn't like to tour for extended periods of time, right?

What about John Corabi? He's a kickass singer with a thick raspy blues voice, and isn't too bad on the guitar either..

Corabi's voice is great!!!
 

[metallex78]

My pick would be John Corbabi too, and I like that someone mentioned John Bush as well.
With either of them they could pursue a heavier rock direction, which I'd really like to see them explore rather than the alternative/pop stylings that were starting to appear on Libertad.

I love Serj, solo and with SOAD, but I'm not sure he'd be a good fit with VR.  Different styles.  Plus, as mentioned, System will probably get back together and they're much bigger than VR has ever dreamed of being.  No offense.  And maybe that's not a fact, but more of an opinion.

Daughtery would be nice. Carrie Underwould be great. However, Slash  has stated in the past that he wouldn't want  a female lead singer.  Next to the
Great Red-Head, i would say Chris Cornell maybe the best choice to replace Weiland.

That was going to be my suggestion, too.

Let make a list then maybe we can do a poll....

Daughtry - Rock Solo act, former American Idol Contestant
Underwood - Female, American Idol winner, Country singer that loves VR/GNR
Brett Hestla - Dark New Day, Vergos Merlot
Landon Plant - Robert Plant's Son
Chris Cornell - Soundgarden, Audioslave
John Corabi - Motley Crue
Singer from Silvertide Walt Lafty
Eric Dover - Snakepit 1

I would be happy with several of these...

[Silex]

Eric Martin, ex-Mr. Big, or is he even available?

[Bodhi]

James Michael from Sixx A.M should be the new lead singer for Velvet Revolver...he has a better voice than Weiland...

Daughtry and Carrie Underwood both have careers going strong than VRs right nw and are probably tied into contracts since they were on that horrible show that I can't believe anyone watches. Cornell has basically said he will never do the band thing again and prefers being solo. Dover did an adequate job on Snakepit 1, but come on....it's not like the guy has that great a voice or anything. Corabi I never liked. Plants son I've never heard before. I'd be interested if he sounds anything like his old man did in the 70's.

[CheapJon]

I dunno how old plants son is but i guess they'd want someone in their own age and who have more things in common and stuff
