10 guys... that's about freaking TIME... we miss those guys...

I wouldn't count on them having something set in stone though every time one of the VR members talk they say different things about it but if they all said the same thing then I would be convinced
Yeah I wouldn't get too excited about this.  Actually I wouldn't get excited at all.  They've been stringing us along all the way.  Back in April they were a week away from announcing the new lead singer.  Now they'll be back at it NEXT autumn.  Next Autumn they'll surely have another story.  They're keeping VR on the backburner for now, and for good reason.  Just in case.  But for the moment Duff is touring with Loaded and seems real happy.  And Slash is working his ass off on that solo album and I expect him to milk that for all its worth, probably much longer than next autumn.


Lets remember, 3 of VR were in GNR.  Plans change.  Maybe Slash didn't realise  there would be so many legal issues with releasing the solo album and had planned to have it all done quicker.  Maybe Duff just wants to do more with loaded as well.  Or maybe.....  they just want a really good singer and havent found one yet.  I would prefer them to take their time and get someone good. 
At least they have material!  member the last time they wrote material without a singer.  we got Contraband! 

VR will be back but at this point the singer is very important.  If they get the wrong guy this time, id say their done.  Still wouldnt mind if Duff just sang.

No Matt is touring with Motorhead I think you were the person that told us that eventhough it's only for a little while.


I was being a little flip with that comment.  And yeah, Matt is touring with Motorhead until their drummer is done shooting his reality show.  I don't know if he's still playing with The Darling Stilettos and he probably has side projects as well
don't worry funky, your comment were funny  Smiley

matt will probably only drum with mot?rhead for another week or so then he's back with his (j)dog

I agree, and that's why I wouldn't get too excited at the prospects of VR starting up again next fall.  That's what they say now, but we know all too well that plans can change.  When Duff and Slash are done doing their things, that is when VR will probably get going again.  But who knows if that will happen by next fall.  If Slash's solo album blows up and is a massive success, like I'm sure he hopes.  He's not gonna drop everything and run away from that to rejoin VR for the unknown.  Let's not get silly.  This is his baby and his number one priority.  He's gonna put everything he has into it. 

If for some reason it doesn't do well, then the chances of VR getting back together increase.

Yep, i agree with you faldor!  Although im not so sure about the solo album doing well.  It depends on how much he promotes it an all i guess.  I hope it does well for him, the list of musicians involved is exciting.

I really like VR and i hope they get back together with a good singer eventually.  They put on an awesome show.

Yeah I'm not certain his solo album will be a massive success either, but a lot of people seem to think it's gonna be another Carlos Santana type solo album which was a monster.  That's why I think VR's future depends a lot on how the album does.  If it doesn't do well, the attention will turn to VR.  But I think Slash is gonna do his best to promote and push the hell out of it.  If it has some good songs with some of the big guest artists then it could have some legs.

Myles Kennedy has a terrific voice etc but I don't like him

I don't like his writing/melody skills

There is a huge difference in technically great and great

Technical wise, Kennedy blows most singers out of the water, but I just don't like his voice or anything else.

i really disagree with the notion that the solo album is his long term number one priority. No matter how big a success it is, he will go back to a band.. He's a band guitarist, he's said taht himself. bands have longer term success trajectories; slash definetly knows this. He's gonna pull a rob thomas even if it is a big hit

He also loves being on top, and if he can achieve that on his own why would he go back to a band that imploded a few years ago?  Maybe when the excitement dies down, but I just don't see him having a big hit and quickly jumping back into VR.

If his solo thing has any measurable amount of success I suspect VR will go even farther on the back burner than it already is - and it's on the extreme back burner as it is for all involved less Kushner I suppose.

The prospects of doing his own thing and not dealing with a frontman have to be appealing at this point...

he can't tour properly on a solo album and he loves touring.

solo success will get more publicity for his band when he goes back to it.

Yeah, the only real reason to revisit VR would be for the pure challenge to make them relevant again.  But he seems happy with the freedom doing his own thing right now, and I don't see him giving that up anytime soon.

For all of you BAZ fans. I just read that he signed up for celebrity fit club. How Lame. This guy does anything to stay in the spotlite. Dude's not even fat but he wants to get his face on TV.

Well this is kinda annoying when we get posts like this I think becouse we all know if they were gonna say fuck it I think they would have taken the deal a while back to make it into a tv show kinda thing but they did not so just give it some time

remember from everything that dies something new is born and as GNR fans we should all know that hihi hihi hihi

Well, you know...something about singer search and Baz having been mentioned somewhere in that regard I suppose.  It's a stretch but I suppose there is some far off relevance to it.  Very far off.
