Slash says Velvet Revolver singer search is 'still ongoing'

[ecwfan]

          I'm on the Phil bandwagon . I hope he gets it. I wanna see him sing some Guns n Roses songs like "Out to Get Me" & "Used To Love Her" .

Spacehog lead singer

[slashrulz]

God i hope it ain't Royston. He sucksss......Phil whats-his-name is good though. He gets my vote 

[metallex78]

Duff already said they didn't pick Royston. He said he was good, but they want someone great.

[gnrjanus]

It sucks for them being out of the gig land for so long.

almost a year!

They don't need someone great.

they need someone with a great vocal range that's all.

that aint hard to find...

[GNR4L]

Looks like their trying too hard to find a well lets say another Axl.  Velvet Revolver should just hang it up, if they can't find a singer.

[Jim Bob]

They'lll end up getting Scott back once he's done with STP and his solo shit. 

[Butch Français]

They'lll end up getting Scott back once he's done with STP and his solo shit. 

that's hilarious. you're funny.

[LunsJail]

They'lll end up getting Scott back once he's done with STP and his solo shit. 

I actually think that would be the best scenario if they're going to continue on calling it VR

meh, times are different now.  Besides, when people think of great bands, they don't normally think of Velvet Revolver. 

Sure the guys who followed VR because they were STP fans will probably ditch them, but theres no reason they can't continue with the VR name.

[GNR4L]

Axl was right all along, Slash is in dire need of being in control.  Obviously VR is his band because he's the primary speaker and acts like he's the one with the final say.  Funny they can't find a singer, gee I wonder why ?  first Axl, then 5 years out goes scott weiland, not so sure it was Axl's fault.  To get back on topic I think it would be real silly and pretty embrassing if Scott did comeback.  Scott your better than that, Don't comeback.

[IzzyDutch]

not so sure it was Axl's fault

Yeah I guess it's just a co?ncidence that every original GN'R member either left or got fired, and that now everyone's speaking together except with Axl

Scott won't be coming back.. they're not taking a druggie back and that's good cause he had to much of a negative influence on the music. He can sing alright, it was just not a right match.. 1 + 1 didn't make 2.

is that you talking out of your ass? funny shit (pun intended)

and yeah they are all "druggies" don't they like their own kind?

[kobys]

I'm not sure that it's so much Scott's drug use as it is his extremely difficult personality that's the problem.

[IzzyDutch]

is that you talking out of your ass? funny shit (pun intended)

That's a fact dude  Well ok.. Izzy's friends with Axl again, but that took years 

[D]

Please

Guitarist,drummers and bassists are dime a dozens

Frontmen are scarce and very hard to find.


I just wonder if they do get a guy with a great vocal range, if they will break out the greatest GNR album ever made that they talked about recording with Izzy.

[IzzyDutch]

I remember a VR interview where actually Dave mentioned they had a lot of different sounding stuff, like UYI 4 (yeah he said 4)  and Rolling Stones sounding but that Scott picked the stuff that influenced him.
There's Big Machine for example which he cut the original demo song up in a new arrangement. Basically if you listen to STP's Unglued you're hearing the same song. I hope we'll get to hear a more classic and blues based music again from the guys that don't sound that modern like on Contraband especially. I thought Slash's work on Snakepit 2 for example was pretty good, but that the rest of the backing band wasn't anything special.
