Slash says Velvet Revolver singer search is 'still ongoing'

[FunkyMonkey]

summer 09 or summer 10

He says "next" summer but I am assuming he meant "this" summer?

no, if he meant 2009 he woulda said said "this" summer

Something tells me he's not planning that far ahead, but I could be wrong.  

I think he meant to say this summer, 2009, but we'll have to wait and see...when they get their singer.

I was hoping for a Phil audition, if nothing else just to know the band is looking. After he shot that down on the bands myspace, I just got the feeling that all the VR guys are, more or less, doing their own thing and making the singer seach a secondary objective.  I know Slash is excited about his solo album and all. Just dont want this to be the last we hear from VR.

I hate to be pessimistic but I somehow get the feeling that it's going to be quite a while before we hear new VR music. Then again, I could be wrong.

 "Quite a while" may be optimistic...

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...

wouldnt that mean that that person is great

There a lot of other things that go into the equation. Stage presence, songwriting ability, etc. I wouldn't necessarily say that because a guy has great range that makes him a great singer. But it sure helps

Do Velvet Revolver have the singer search narrowed down to a couple of guys?

Duff is interviewed at NAMM and at about 3:50 it sounds like they do.  And that we may be hearing pretty soon who is it...maybe.


You can see the interview here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=112688

[CheapJon]

Thank God, huh? 

Anyway, I thought it was a great interview. 

We'll have to wait and see about the lead singer thing, though.....

There are rumours going around that VR is trying to poach singer Phil Conalane to be the next VR singer. Conalane is lead singer for the Belfast, Northern Ireland band Million Dollar Reload. SLASH says he has never heard of the band or Conalane, so the search continues.

Thats been circulating for a few weeks. Slash didn't remember what singers he sent out audition tapes to either, so maybe hes just playing it off?

The song "Travel" by million dollar reload is one of the best songs i have heard in a long long time.. i only heard of the band... by seeing rumors that the singer could be in VR..  so i checked them out..  i don't really know if he would be good for VR.. but i found a new band to get into

Same here. My interest in them was only because of the rumors about the singer, but ever since I have been pleasantly suprised by their music
