[Fingers]

The blue does look cool, and good to see the site kind of updated

I like it too, the red had a hot/warm/fire feeling to it, this blue has a cool/cold/ruff feeling

Did I miss something in the Velvet corner? I thought they were still looking for a singer?
I did hear that Slash is working on a solo cd........

Nothing has changed

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I saw an interview with Duff somewhere this week where he said they may have already found their new singer.

Key word is "ready".

[Fingers]

Duff has stated that Velvet Revolver is his first priority, he stated this back when he re-started Loaded-I doubt one month in Europe will change anything

[Rapunzel]

Really? I've heard him state that his daughters are his first priority.


And so, they should be.

Of course not.


Just wondering what Matt's update was about.

Is "soon" before September?

Or was it just an update to keep the fans interested while they sort their shit out?

If their singer is the guy from Spacehog, Duff will have plenty of time  for other activities. Say what you want about Weiland but he has a track record of writing hits. With this guy, they are back to  playing mid-level clubs.

probably the latter rather than the former. Even after they announce who the singer is, they'll need a couple months to write (if they havent done most of that already), and record, before they go on any kind of tour.

I dont think "rockin' " for us really means much at all. Just like you said, its a pointless post to get some people excited.

[Fingers]

They could tour without recording a record, or during recording-Guns has done that for years now

Shouldn't they find a lead singer first?  GNR has a bit of a larger and more respected catalog than VR at this point.  I guess they could tour without recording first, I just don't know how hot a ticket that would be.

[Fingers]

I think they have stated several times they are looking for a singer, and VR have played smaller venues like the State Theater in Detroit several times before Contraband was even released-they played songs that no one had ever heard before

[faldor]

I just don't know if the interest level for Velvet Revolver is very high right now.  There was a great deal of interest leading up to and after the Contraband release, but Libertad didn't fare too well and they've had their fair share of problems since then (mostly with Scott).  Maybe they can turn things around with a new lead singer, but I don't think it's a slam dunk.
