Who Should the Next VR Singer be?

[Jizzo]

rob thomas has already got matchbox 20 and a sucessful solo career

[Ines_rocks!]

Duff! 

[Wheres Izzy]

Duff! 

Seriously, every song duff sings kick ass. VR should play "Good News" from neurotic outsiders.

From the Gibson site...

Before Scott Weiland became Velvet Revolver?s lead singer, Slash was writing in a vacuum. He didn?t know who was going to be laying down vocals over his riffs, and had no real sense of where the songs should go. He didn?t even know if he was writing for a tenor or a baritone, whether the singer would bring a rock and roll howl or a bluesy moan.

The original ad he placed read like this: ?Unnamed artist looking for singer-songwriter somewhere in the realm of early Alice Cooper/Steve Tyler, the harder-edged side of McCartney and Lennon.? That covers a lot of ground.
Everyone from Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) and Travis Meeks (Days of the New) to Todd Kerns (The Age of Electric) and Josh Todd (Buckcherry) gave it a shot.

I did too! I wasn't being sarcastic. I really love just about every song I have ever heard Duff sing. I think he has really unique inflection and a great tone, albeit not much range. And "Good News" would be awesome to hear at a show.

It would be a wonderful choice if they didnt find any suitable singer. I would be just fine with it!   

"Good News" is a fine tune. 

[SLCPUNK]

Iggy Pop would be cool.

I believe they need to go with a young unknown with a great range and stage prescence.  Then change the name of the band because its not really VR without Scott.  Maybe fire Matt because he seems to be a douchebag.  Definitely should take some time off for a while before coming back and playing together.  Slash should do his solo project next and Duff should record another solo album thats straight up punk rock.

That'd be fuckin cool.

I really doubt that VR will continue... at least for a while... Slash want to record a solo album n' Duff will return with Loaded so I doubt... but

what about Ian Astbury? kickin' ass performer n' if he sang covers of Doors with Manzarek, Krieger n' Densmore in The Doors of 21st Century why don't he could sing covers from the another L.A. greatest band 

Eric Dover have a great voice... n' sounds more possible

[fuckin crazy]

Iggy Pop would be cool.

 

 ... and he would fit in with the mentality.

I wouldn't mind if VR goes on a hiatus so that Slash can release his solo work.

[stinkfist]

Sebastian Bach did an interview today w/ a local radio station in Tampa, Florida for promotion of his upcoming show w/ Poison.   
Nothing too new, but they asked him that there was rumor that he might be in the running (again) for the lead singer of VR. 
He said he talked to Slash a couple of weeks ago but said that he really wasn?t interested at this point.  He said that he wouldn?t feel right about it due to his friendship with Axl and also he couldn?t see himself singing Scott Weiland songs.  However, he didn?t rule it out.  He said that they would have to write some really killer music together in order for him to consider it.  He said he believes his new album is better than any VR one.   
I don?t see him a good fit for VR either.   

On a side note, he must have dropped Axl?s name like 20x in that 5 min interview.   It was weird that the DJ didn?t ask him to elaborate on any of it. 
The only thing the DJ asked about Axl was that if they ever sat around and said ? we need to get our old bands back together.  Bach of course said that has never come up in conversation.  He said that would be like saying.. ?Hey, I wish we could go back to High School?. 
Bach did say that Dr. Pepper owes him a case now.

Very interesting.
