Velvet Revolver may have lead singer

By Michael Christopher; Correspondent

Those Velvet Revolver lead singer rumors have been kicked into high gear again, and this time there's some validity rather than just hopeful speculation. Royston Langdon, former singer for late 90s hacks Spacehog and estranged husband of actress Liv Tyler, has been secretly trying out with the band recently according to Entertainment Weekly. The British-born Langdon is supposedly one of just a handful of frontrunners, but the only one who has performed in public with any members of the group. Earlier this month, he joined a supergroup of sorts featuring Slash, Jason Bonham and Jerry Cantrell onstage for a few songs, including Guns N' Roses' "It's So Easy."The singer sounds like an interesting mix between Axl Rose and expelled Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland, but with a noticeable English accent.

Truthfully, this is just the sort of singer the group needs. He's not very high-profile, as Spacehog only had one real hit with radio friendly "In the Meantime," but he can get the job done. Langdon won't bring the baggage that other names bandied about would bring to the table.

Chris Cornell? Billy Idol? Sebastian Bach? Any one of those three would bring a mix of trouble, conflict and way too much ego.

The only question; are there enough Velvet Revolver fans left to keep the possible Langdon move from turning it into another Slash's Snakepit?

And they didn't exactly set the world on fire.  They may have had a cult following, but you'd expect more for a Slash/Duff project.  A lot of interest in VR, whether people want to admit it or not, came from Scott Weiland being the front man.  Slash's Snakepit has pretty much long been forgotten and is hardly a blip on the rock and roll history radar screen.

Faldor, Duff wasn't in Snakepit.  Sorum and Gilby were though.  Duff did help right beggers and hanger ons...  That first Snakepit album did sell over 1 million albums in the middle of the grunge era.  Pretty good if you ask me!

[faldor]

I know Duff wasn't in Snakepit, sorry for the poor wording, I was talking about VR when mentioning Duff/Slash.  In other words, Slash's Snakepit had sort of a cult following and VR could turn into that if they go the route of one of the more unknown singers we've heard mentioned recently.  And you'd expect more than a cult following for a Duff/Slash project.

That's what I meant.  I realize Snakepit did have some mild success, but I also think you'd agree that VR at their peak and especially at their inception was much bigger than Snakepit ever dreamed of being.  So if they were to go to that level it would be a huge step backward.

Snakepit wasn't promoted by the label; it was backed by the label to make slash happy; once it broke even, they even pulled the funding for his tour and ordered him back to work on Guns

who knows, maybe there will be more fans now that Scott's out (depending on who they get)

I've read there were songs that scott didn't want to do b/c they sounded too much like Slash's, Duff's, and matts former band that were some of their better songs

I know there were a lot of fans in the beginning.  That's my point.  It's no longer the beginning.  They've gone through one well known singer, released one album that did real well, then 3 years later released another one that didn't do well at all.  That shows me that the interest has died considerably over the years.  Am I missing something?  Explain that one.
