Slash says Velvet Revolver singer search is 'still ongoing'

[metallex78]

Also, anyone else find it kind of odd that Slash, matt and Duff aren't following each other on twitter? 

I don't find it odd at all. I'm guessing those guys use traditional means of communication to keep in touch with eachother, like say... the telephone!

Probably so.

The way Franky describes it in those posts, it doesn't sound like he's alluding to becoming the new VR singer.
It just sounds like he's collaborating on music with Dave that he might release himself.

Bingo.

From Frankys twitter:

"I'm building new friendships based on honesty."
 
Wonder if he is reffering to VR??? 

Maybe isolated member(s) of VR, not sure if I'd go the whole "honesty" route beyond Duff, Matt or Dave...

[Jim Bob]

Can somebody give me a link to Franky's twitter please?  cant seem to find it?

they were probably sick of each other

Franky obviously liked slash enough to do the Slash and friends gig and to be jamming with VR before slash started working on the solo album.
Scott Weiland said he would still work with Slash cos they always got on ok.
Steven Adler still loves Slash and there is only person in the world that we definitly know hates him. 

So maybe he isnt the monster that he is often made out to be.

i dont get what people fail to understand about Slash....


Are there any demos around with Franky on those VR songs?

I'd have to agree also, that's what is sounds like to me.

And I don't think Franky Perez will be the new singer.  Basing that on Duff's comment about him and the fact that he has been around for a while and if they really wanted him as the singer, you would think he would have been by now.  But maybe something has changed...I could be wrong.

The VR meeting next week is interesting though, but with Quart Festival over and Duff between tours, it might just be timing.

Never said he's not a likeable guy nor a "monster" for that matter.  He obviously is a highly respected individual amongst his peer group that has zero trouble finding people to play with and a bona fide icon.

For me personally, I'll never forget the Camp Freddy Radio lie - that and the events following is exactly why I take zero personal stock in those involved with that fiasco.

what was the camp freddy radio lie?

About not going to Axl's house... Come one D, you been here long time.

[D]

I didn't know what radio show he said it on

I dont really call that a lie though, I mean what was he suppose to say?

once Axl said all the stuff he supposedly said, it would've made it appear he really said that had he confirmed he had went.

Or maybe he denied going because he didn't approve of informing the public of their behind the scenes personal business in a press statement.

C'mon D - getting asked a pointed question and denying it outright only later to admit he did in fact go isn't "a lie"?

once Axl said all the stuff he supposedly said, it would've made it appear he really said that had he confirmed he had went.

Why lie and have it (cough cough) confirmed by someone else? Especially by a third party who wasn't even present at the time the conversation took place containing the alleged inflamatory topics?

Tell the truth and there's no need to backtrack.

On topic..

I suspect they are closer to officially disbanding than hiring Perez - just an opinion.

[D]

Sure it is technically a lie but that is like if you come home and your wife says "So and So says they saw u out with another woman"

Are u gonna say "Yes honey, of course I did."

of course not. I can understand why he'd lie in that situation cause it made him look bad.

Really?  I believe the opposite.

[Fingers]

I'm not sure why he would Twitter about a band meeting to disband-maybe I'm wrong, I don't know-I do know Slash if finishing up his solo record (which wont be out til next year, and I'm not sure how you would tour behind it), and Loaded will probably be finishing up soon

I agree Eric... Falcon, you don't have to "meet" to disband... You just "disband".   They are meeting to discuss the future of VR and what direction they want to go.

i didn't hear the camp freddy piece but it was reported in print he denied going over to axl's and trashing his band members; given the fact that both maintain they haven't spoken since slash was in guns, I don't think that ever occured.  Since slash acknowledged interacting w/ beatta (we assume) about working out various lawsuits, i'd guess beatta or someone close to her made up those details for the press.

[Falcon]

Falcon, you don't have to "meet" to disband... go.

Never said they were meeting to disband - just closer to disbanding than hiring Perez...
