Suggestion to VR: Hire Anthony Keidis

[m_rated96]

Yeah look RHCP and GnR are my two faveourite bands. But they are from two totally different places musically - and not the type of two different places which could work together. They way they write and function is so completely on different sides of the planet it would NEVER ever work.

I do agree VR need to get a front man soon and it needs to be an A-Lister. Cornell is so obviously the best choice. Their age, in the public eye and great voice. But thats never gonna happen. . . . . The linkin park dude could also work.

it'll never happen. two different worlds, can't imagine what the music would sound like.

Anthony wouldn't really fit in with VR. I love RHCP and that's where Anthony belongs. VR need Axl Rose

[oldgunsfan]

I can't stand Fall to Pieces.  Slither was all right.

would you have liked FTP better if axl sang it since slash brought that from the GnR days?

I agree about Keidis;
as for Rose, only if they deusche dave and matt and get izzy and steve back

[jacdaniel]

Fall to pieces and Slither are awesome! and basically all of contraband!

[Falcon]

....and Slither are awesome!

"Slither" was and still is a monster, easily my favorite post AFD song from anyone who was involved in the making of that record.

That said, the thought of Kiedis singing it makes me queasy...

I like Slash and Duff alot but VR did nothing for me.. I tried to like it but got bored of it real fast. They sounded pretty modern which I didn't expect at all, songs like Superhuman and such with the Drop D tuning, nah..

I remember when 'Set Me Free' first leaked, it was the mix by that other guy Mike R-something and I liked it alot.. song was good production aswell. But on Contraband it just sounds bad. At the time they said the the mixing of Set Me Free with that guy was a pain in the ass and they didn't like the result much, but my guess is that it sounded to classic rock / GN'R like (for Scott )

I don't expect much from VR anymore, but Duff's Loaded sounds really great (what I expected from VR in the first place) and Slash's solo album I think will rock too.. cause there he'll play more out of the box. If you look at Snakepit, much more creative riffs and solos going on and also song structures.

^^ since scott left, it would seem he was the reason VR failed to live up to many's expectations -

while travis meeks was auditioning, he said this of the material slash, izzy, duff, and matt were working on

Meeks announcement stated "This is the best rock music I have heard since 'Appetite for Destruction. Guns 'n' Roses and Days Of The New fans will not be disappointed. They will be ecstatic! The new material has that vintage GNR feel that millions craved and loved in the late Eighties and early Nineties".

I think the Peppers are getting back together this fall to start recording anyways.
get Steven Tyler!

That would be a pretty damn good match up I reckon, and it would make VR go in a heavier direction too!

He isn't very much into metal for the things he does.

But he's definitly a metalfan! He likes bands like megadeth, anthrax & metallica a lot. And that's metal? Right?

Thrash metal!

yes, so it's metal..

[jacdaniel]

yep! just the bands listed are all a certain type of metal. 

[BurningHills]

Horrible idea. Keidis wouldn't be able to handle the vocals.
