Slash says Velvet Revolver singer search is 'still ongoing'

[CheapJon]

looks like the "unknowns" are using these demos to try and make a name for themselves.

No doubt about it.

VR should've mandated any public disclosure of auditions would result in immediate elimination from consideration.

well with all the "leaks" coming just after duff said they'd narrowed it down to a few guys they'd auditioned with, I guess the wannabees decided to just post it assuming they don't have a shot.

yeah that seems logical.
anyone find out who the Detroit guy is?

Kid Rock
Eminem
Bob Seger

Who else if from detroit?

jack white

Jack White and Slash would be badass!

[m_rated96]

Well, Patrick Keeler from The Raconteurs is drumming on a few of Slash's solo record tracks... so maybe it ISNT so far-fetched . . . . . . . . .



Actually, yeah, it still is. Jack White and Slash? No way

[CheapJon]

I think jack white is "too big" didn't duff say the singer might be "semi-known" or something, i'm pretty sure white is more known then that

Maybe Jack White for the solo album.

i cant take it anymore VR just pick someone already enough of all this bullshit about a unknown if thats what they were after then they would have made it somin like American Idol come on people

[Falcon]

..enough of all this bullshit about a unknown if thats what they were after then they would have made it somin like American Idol come on people

If memory serves correct, Mark Burnett (creator of Rockstar INXS and Rockstar Supernova) offered VR something similar and they said no.

I think the chances of a "known" guy become less and less by the day. 

I don't think they want to deal with anyone who's got lead singer disease and I doubt any "name" front man wants to deal with them at this point.

This from Matt Sorum today...it doesn't seem like they are "weeks away" from a decision...

On Velvet Revolver:

"Still looking for a singer -- speaking to the guys every day.  Slash is working on his solo album and Duff is out promoting his solo record.  But when they are done doing that we're going to get back in and get to work and write some more songs."

I thought they were "days away" a couple weeks ago.  Duff is off doing his thing and once Slash's album comes out I'm sure he'll go full steam ahead to promote that.  I think we'll be waiting awhile.

i think that depends very much on how succesful slash & friends will be, if it bombs i'm pretty sure we will get to hear from 'em much sooner, i think he pretty much "runs the show"

One thing's for sure, Matt and Dave will arrive at the studio faster than you can say Weiland once Slash tells them he's ready.

[dont_damn_me]

^hahaa......totally!!

Fortunately for Sorum, he's got a multitude of other things going on. 

Sorum Noce, Camp Freddy, guest appearances, Stillettos,  Drac Studios, producing and whatnot..

Dave on the other hand...

[gnr2k6]

stillettos isnt on the agenda....another singer left....

Looking for a new singer is on the agenda...

I hope Dave has some good investments.

He won't be touring for a while.

I thought they were "days away" a couple weeks ago. 

It's hard to keep straight.  What I was referring to was the Rolling Stone article of Feb. 12th where Duff say that they are weeks away from an announcement.

Duff said in one of these interviews that HE thought they had found the guy, but that there were others in the band who had to agree.  Maybe they didn't agree.
