Rolling Stone' bets for VR new singer

[Bandita]

Sammy Hagar?  Danzig?  Perry Farrell, for God's sake?!?!

Most of those can't be serious.   Ugh.

I would hope not.

Judging by the fact that someone on the RS site keeps reccomending Rick Astley to be the new frontman, I'd say at least half of those are NOT serious.

[Wheres Izzy]

Danzig???  That would be uhh, weird.

I don't think any of these guys fit.

who is that guy? 

Originally he was the singer and songwriter for one of the greatest things to ever happen to music...New Jersey's very own Misfits! Then he left and started a group called Samhein which later morphed into the band Danzig. The first 3 Danzig albums are fucking brillaint bluesy rock-metal. Then he decided he had a mission to make music absolutley no one on the planet would want to listen to and has been succeeding in that fight for about 15 years.

That's pretty much a perfect description. Well done!

The Misfits may have rocked hard, but try listening to more than 30 minutes of them at a time! "Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?" and "I Turned into a Martian" are two of my absolute favourites.

Glen Danzig has a great voice, totally unsuited to VR. Of all the people mentioned on these lists which are floating around, I think that only Josh Todd has a voice which could fit. And he most likely wouldn't do it, although I read somewhere on the internet (so it must be true!) that Buckcherry isn't selling too well and that their comeback has been a bit lukewarmly received.

I don't know where you read that about Buckcherry.  "Sorry" hit the top 10 on Billboard and 15 was certified Platinum.  Buckcherry won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

It was probably written before "Sorry" was released, then!

oh... I had! I just didn?t know who sang it! 

[Killingmachine]

Danzig is a great artist, his two first albums were amazing,  later he wants to evolve to sounds more industrial and modern, but he is known as well as the original frontman of "THe Misfit" band, you know, punk rock band. It would be interesting anyway listen some about Slash/Danzig, they both have much blues's influence and hard rock...

Rock List: Reader?s Picks for the Next Velvet Revolver Singer

Last week, we asked our readers to pretend they were Careerbuilder.com and help fill the Velvet Revolver lead vocalist job. Many sent in resumes, some candidates got second interviews, but the readers ultimately chose to save former Audioslave/Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell from solo album purgatory and employ him as the next band mate to Slash, Duff and the rest of VR. But the pick of Cornell wasn?t unanimous; here are the singers you want to see fill Scott Weiland?s shoes in Velvet Revolver.

1. Chris Cornell
2. Josh Todd from Buckcherry
3. Sebastian Bach
4. Eric Dover from Slash?s Snakepit
5. Izzy Stradlin
6. Gavin Rossdale
7. Mike Patton
8. Lukas Rossi from Rock Star: Supernova
9. Scott Stapp
10. Sammy Hagar
11. Billy Idol
12. Danzig
13. Kid Rock
14. Perry Farrell
15. Ozzy Osbourne

If Luk-arse Rossi got the gig I think I would personally ritually burn all my VR stuff - and that includes the limited picture disc vinyl I have of the UK release of Slither.

It's crazy to realize how many today were still in diapers when "Mother" hit.  A bit of a reality check, but true nonetheless....sigh.

glen danzig is a laughing stock tho, the misfits owned the world, but when he got knocked the fuck out backstage for talking shit, he kinda lost a lot of face.  getting glen danzig would be even worse than people yelling SAVAGE ANIMAL at sebastian bach

[mikvilja]

I think the best choice for new singer would be Corey Taylor!  

His vocal are amazing in Stonesour, he could really sing the crap out from VR songs!
