Slash says Velvet Revolver singer search is 'still ongoing'

[faldor]

what was the camp freddy radio lie?

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

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.

I just read over at www.gnrevolution.com that Marc Canter spent some time over on mygnr and went over this subject.  Here's that piece.

"The last time Slash went there was because his wife made him. Just before he did that he called me for Axl's phone number and when I said that I couldn't do that he said I know I know and then I herd Perla saying things to him. He said that he was sorry for asking and I could tell in his voice that he was being pushed into it. Also at that time Perla hated Duff, and Slash was not getting along with Scott and Duff that well and was doing heavy drugs and lots of them that should have killed him. He was living in hell. He also started a big law suit about not getting paid for things from GNR and was drunk at the time of the visit. He could have easily said bad things about some of the guys in VR to Beta. At that point he would have fucked a snake to talk with Axl and if nothing else just to get Perla off his back. She was the one who wanted the reunion at that time. But then the whole thing backfired on Slash when Axl called the press. It could have cost him loosing VR and then he would have nothing."

Sounds like Marc believes Axl/Beta's side of things.

Fucking hell!  You'd swear people never lied before! 

If you say a video is gonna be out next week, and it never surfaces, is that also a lie?

There is a difference between mentioning plans that then change for whatever reason, and deliberately misleading people.
I'm not sure if I believe that the guy who posted the above is actually Marc Canter, though the explanation does sound plausible.

Either way, I don't think this argument belongs in this thread, personally.  I don't trust everything Slash says either, but it's still annoying when people insist on bringing it up all the time.

Thanks, that was more or less my point! 

Can you ever 100% trust ALL things that any person says?

But back on point, I really hope that this VR meeting is about a new singer.  And hopefully they announce one soon!

Sounds like Slash needs to get his wife the hell out of his business. She is fucking more things up for him than she helps.

Also, another interesting segment from that chat:

Will a reunion happen? Here is goes, folks....Marc says it's gotten worse. Thinks there was something in Slash's book Axl didn't like. Axl is very angry right now. Doesn't think Axl would do it, but thinks Slash would work with Axl again. He's not angry enough at Axl to not work with him. But Axl might see it as a sell out. As it stands no, but Axl could change his mind. Thinks they need to be stuck in an elevator together to work things out. Says if they did it, it would be a live show not a cd.

Marc accidentally invited them both to his son's bar vitzmah (I know I spelt that wrong). They both said they'd come, Beta asked Marc not to sit them together. Marc asked Slash to play" The Godfather" theme with his son . Beta showed up with her people, but Axl didn't because he was sleeping. Apparently he goes days without sleeping and then sleeps for days. Marc still wants to get them in the same room together some day and force them to work it out.

hopefully mark can make this happen;and not so axl and slash can go on to record lots of records together; but so they can get over the animosity and some of the misunderstandings, etc.

Probably my fault to a degree.....but..

Ongoing singer search is the topic, lets get back to it please.

[gnr2k6]

From Frankys twitter:

Life is good. I've surrounded myself with people I enjoy being around and trust. I'm building new friendships based on honesty.
about 6 hours ago from web 


Wonder if he is reffering to VR??? 

PS: i found his twitter!

Im guessing that might be the case looks like there long search is finaly at a close and thats fucking great news...

[FunkyMonkey]

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

I have to agree, I don't think it will be Perez.  We'll have to see what comes from this meeting.

That is fuckin cool.   

VR has been on the backburner for awhile.  I think Duff has said before that they have meetings  to see if they are all still cool w/eachother and what not.  Slash can be pretty vague about things though   

[Fingers]

For what it's worh, Loaded has no future tour dates on the offical website-I'm still unclear as to whether the are playing Cruefest 2

They will not be playing at Crue Fest 2.  They are still supporting Black Stone Cherry in the UK in Oct. as far as I know.
