Who Should the Next VR Singer be?

[SlashRock]

Again, NO.

(Their styles wouldn't match, and it would create another Scott-like situation.)

Well they need someone a bit different or everything will just be one dimensional. Personally I think 'GnR with a hint of Black Crowes swagger' would be pretty awesome.    But maybe that's just me.

[Second Hand Smoke]

I don't know man, to me it sounds like they are going with the singer from Linkin Park.  Evidently he tore shit up at the Camp Freddy show on Friday. My prediction is that they will audition people and hype it up, but they will use the LP guy in the end, just like the last time. IMO But I'm into the Black Crowesy swagger thing. I think that would best suit Slash.

chester bennington won't go from LP to VR

[Smoking Guns]

Again, NO.

Too me Robinson's blues style fits perfect with Slash's.....  I think Chris would be a much better fit than Scott, just won't ever happen..  Robinson is huge Stones type guys like Slash.

Jarmo, it really surprised me how good his voice is.  I like it and a few of his tunes.  Not bad..

Chester from other night.. Paradise City.  I think he would be good.

[misterID]

Emphasis on was.

 

C'mon. She still looks damn good for a chick her age. She definitely isn't embarrassing herself in those skimpy leather outfits.

If they want Chester they will HAVE to go the route of having a different lead singer each album. He's not leaving LP for VR. But I like the idea of a different VR singer each album out.

yeah it would be cool, dunno how they would do with touring though, but i guess LP had a long break between their second and latest album so if they did that again chester could rock for real with VR

i'd dig if they gave justin hawkins a call

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Again, NO.

Chris is way too laid back and Slash's style is "go go go."

That and the Crowes are touring until the end of the year. 

Game over.  Let's not bring Chris up again, k?

Thanks

MATT SORUM on the search for a new VELVET REVOLVER frontman

VELVET REVOLVER's search for a singer to replace SCOTT WEILAND is apparently going well, at least according to MATT SORUM. The drummer says it's a lot easier this time around than when they first got together, because now people know a bit about them and their music. He says this time, quote, "we've got thousands and thousands of people coming at us with, you know, auditions and stuff."

No need to look, Chester wants in.

I don't think he does

[Jimmy?]

I wouldn't mind Josh Todd, although i'm pretty sure he's committed to Buckcherry. I may be wrong though.....

Chester sounds good in the vids, whether he'd fit in VR is another thing. It could work, i think there'd be more chance of it failing though imo.

[oldgunsfan]

If it were to be a woman, Joan Jett hasn't been too busy to lately. Too, she was hot ...

she got beat up by age.....what's she about 90 now
the chick from mcqueen did a good job of it's so easy but the sound kinda sucked

personally i think christina aguilera would sound great fronting VR

Josh Todd and Chester Bennington would never go, they're already in bands that are currently bigger and more successful than VR

Besides which, Todd wouldn't go crawling back.  He and Keith Nelson started writing and recording with the VR guys and were booted by Slash without so much as an explanation.  Now after Buckcherry is bigger than VR and they succeeded on their own terms and on their own merits, there's no way they'd go back

[misterID]

Yeah, Josh pretty much ran Slash down a few years back, so I don't think that's happening

Not a big loss in my book.

Chester has a side band coming out pretty soon, if VR was another side project then yes, but it's not going to be his baby. I never really liked that guy until recently. His Paradise City was pretty killer.

My list of "dream singers," for one album each:

1 - Chris Cornell
2 - Chester Bennington
3 - Perry Ferrell
4 - Phil Anselmo
5 - Shirley Manson
6 - Mike Patton
7 - Gavin Rossdale John Bush
8 - Billy Corgan
9 - Lenny Kravitz
10 - Axl Rose 

 

[metallex78]

I'd like either John Corabi or John Bush, then they could head in a heavier rock direction.

[misterID]

Hey! Did you not see pick #7 ??

[Genesis]

I don't think any female singers should be in VR. At least, not as long as that sexual predator Matt Sorum is around.
