Who Should the Next VR Singer be?

[Smoking Guns]

Ok I'm just gonna pretend I didn't read the post above mine 




Anyway according to Matt they're talking to a big name singer:

In a very recent interview, drummer Matt Sorum got an update on where the band was and revealed they were in negotiations with "a big name vocalist," although he didn't want to disclose any names yet.

"Nothing yet. We got a call from a pretty big guy who wants to be our singer. I can't say who that is yet but talks are happening about it and hopefully we'll see what happens in the next couple of months."

Could be good news but hey it's Matt so it might aswell be Paris Hilton 

Must be a guy we don't know about.  He "called".  So that would rule out Langdon, Ferrell, etc.  More like guy like Cornell.  Not Cornell, but someone not related to CF or VR.

hope it rules out langdon.. but why would it rule out farrel? don't really think it is farrel but why would it rule him out?

btw, when is says that they are in negotiations, it makes it feel more like i dunno, something not a band.. more i dunno.. ?

perry farrel would be sooo fkn cool

i'd agree with that

You've gotta explain that one to me aswell, because both their careers(langdon, Ferrell) seem to be pretty much dead in the water at the moment...

btw, when is says that they are in negotiations, it makes it feel more like i dunno, something not a band.. more i dunno.. ?

You've never been in a band have you?, as soon as you're reasonably succesfull at getting gigs band members will start getting all kinds of demands and that's just with a semi-pro band. I can't even imagine what it would be like with a high profile band like VR...

What I meant was Sorum said it was a "Big Name" that "Called" them.  Well, Slash Jammed with Ferrell the other night and Langdon has been hanging out with Slash and CF a lot over the past 2 months.  Sorum made it sound like someone brand new that we haven't seen with them that called out of the blue.  I could have mis-read that.  Also I don't consider Langdon a big name and Ferrell isn't "big" anymore.

yes i have, wouldn't really compare any band to VR though just last monday i got asked if i wanted to start a new band but we didn't negotiate anything

perry farrel would be sooo fkn cool

Don't expect thats gonna happen, he's more eccentric their prior bands singers...

All sorts of Janes reunion rumors around as well, I'd think that would be more of a possibility
than him joining VR...

[Falcon]

Why couldn't Sabastian work?

He's just wrong on so many levels, not even a consideration...

[Bitch Slap Rappin]

I may be wrong on this but even if they get a replacment singer it's not going to be what Velvet Relover evolved into. Without Scott it's going to be somewhat missing something. (Sort of what happen when David Lee Roth left VH. I think it would be cool if who ever the remaining guys get they should start a new band under a new name. (Maybe call themselves Suade Persuaders...........

[meanmachine73]

Corabi has left Ratt. He would be a perfect choice IMHO. He could also play guitar.
I loved the album he did with Motley.

[Bitch Slap Rappin]

It's a shame that the singer from Alice & Chains died. That guy had an excellent voice.

He's fucking great live; saw him w/ Porno for Pyro's twice when I was in college;  a re-united Jane's Addiction wouldn't be a bad thing either

This is what Duff had to say regarding the new singer in an interview...

Jul 30 2008

?We got together in 2002 and realised we had to take that energy out into the public domain again. That?s when VR came about and. in terms of albums, Loaded has been on the back-burner ever since.

?But we always play Seattle at Christmas and we?re pretty big there these days.

?It?s just time to put out a new record and tour with this band again because it?s a very special thing we have here.? VR should have a new vocalist by the time Loaded hits The Sage Gateshead.

His identity may still be a closely guarded secret but McKagan explained: ?We have a guy who we?ve been working with who?s a really good singer and a great guy.

?I really hope he?s the one. The question is, does he have that extra thing? It?s just really hard to tell until you do a gig.

?There?s a lot of expectation. In truth he has to be killer to front Velvet Revolver.

?We?re writing amazing material and I really think the new record will be the best thing that we?ve done as a band.

?So do we have the right singer to do that music justice??

He's the one name I keep bringing up. He would be awesome fronting VR.

Fuck all these other 'alternative' singers, John is a kick ass heavy rock singer perfect for the job.

i remeber when one of the VR guys said libertad was "killer" material 

i hope its corabi, he's the only one i can see bringin another element to VR

[Bodhi]

why do people have such a hard on for Corabi...talk about a has-been...or never-was would be more appropriate...seriously people need to get off this guys dick....go get Brett Scallions formerly from Fuel and lets call it day.....enough with the washed up 80's hair band acts.....Ratt...Bach?? are you fucking kidding me?  I mean I like Bach and I love Skid Row but VR does not sound like an 80's band....

[Fingers]

Corabi IMO put togeether a great Motley Crue album, but sales put an end to that-I'm not sure if I would like him for VR, he sounds too much like Eric Dover-I would like to see them try something totally different-Perry Farfel would be interesting, but he seems to go through a ton of projects, and I dont think the egos involved would get along past one album-remember Sattelite Party, Janes seems to be reuniting and breakig up a lot-not to put the blame on Perry-the guys in VR don't seem to get along with people either

[Montrealrocks]

It's been twice in a week that Slash jams with Perry Farrell in concert.

You can bet your 2 cent that he will be the next Velvet Revolver singer....

[slashisvr]

i think corabi would fit the bill well, he would bring a much darker heavier feel to VR, i dont think he would fit in on libertad songs too well, but CB songs, he would blow them away

amazing album with crue he did

i wouldnt mind him being in VR

[DeN]

oh yeah, good idea, one album with Perry before a Jane's Addiction reunion
