Matt Sorum 'Velvet Revolver Is Going Back To Work In October 2010'

[sleeper]

Slash said that Velvet Revolver is holding singer auditions next month, and could Myles Kennedy be a candidate?  No, according to Slash in this video interview.

I think the next singer will be an unknown. In one of the interviews with Matt recently he mentions they have a couple of guys the band is interested in. What I thought was interesting is he also said in the same interview that the VR website would be up soon. If they don't have a singer why would they do anything with the website now?

From Slash again today:

23/09/2010

"I'm still in Velvet. We're still looking for a singer and we'll go on until we find one. We've got a half a dozen songs already. I'm on tour until October then we'll sit down and figure out what we're going to do next," he says.

I believe what he says here.. He just had to get this out of his system... Now he is ready to rock it in a band again.

VELVET REVOLVER Trying Out Two Singers Next Month - Sep. 25, 2010

According to a new Twitter message from VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum, the band will try out two singers in early October.

VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash told BostonHerald.com earlier in the month that the search for a new frontman for the group will resume after he finishes his current solo tour, also insisting that his touring vocalist, Myles Kennedy, will not take the job. Kennedy will return to his band ALTER BRIDGE next month, while Slash will take the remaining months of 2010 to work on new music and go through audition tapes. VELVET REVOLVER has been dormant since April 2008, when the band dismissed original frontman Scott Weiland.

Slash told The Pulse of Radio that the band's status hasn't changed since. "Everybody asks the same question: 'Where are you with that?'" he said. "It's really, we're nowhere until we can find somebody who can do that job. Very quietly I've had my ears to the pavement, trying to see if there's anybody that fits that bill, and it's got to be somebody really good, 'cause I don't want to rush into it out of desperation. I want to wait 'til I get the right person."

As for the possibility of enlisting Kennedy, Slash told BostonHerald.com, "Kennedy is still committed to ALTER BRIDGE. I don't want to be the guy responsible for breaking up a band. But we'll find someone. Maybe not somebody known, but some kind of local hero."

Kennedy had actually been approached to sing for VELVET REVOLVER back in the early days of the group, and again after they parted ways with Weiland, but turned down the offer both times.

Problem with VR.. they want a frontman with a keyboard players personality.

That shit doesn't work in rock n roll

f rontmen are generally hard to work with for a reason but its a good reason.

Jon Bon Jovi says it best on that documentary "when we were beautiful"

he says basically how lead singer disease is bullshit and thats just the way it is. That someone has to take the wheel and QB the team.... Says the day someone tells him when he can tour etc ain't happening.


Go through History and every frontman on anybody's top 10 had some sort of demons or something difficult about them.

Brian Johnson does what Angus and Malcom tell him too... 

Slash is the star of VR, or should be anyway.

yeah but huge difference. AC/DC are such a giant brand.. i could fucking sing for them maybe.. if i could scream like that and they'd still sell out 50k seat stadiums.

VR aren't a giant brand. they don't have a giant back catalog to rely on and didn't write Back in Black and all those other albums.

so, some bland boring singer isn't  gonna cut it.

From Dave Kushner:

Been seeing a lot of VR rumblings on the internet lately and will let everyone know whats up when I can.

[RusselNash]

VR without Scott is "The Proyect".. If they get an uknown singer and carry on with that stunt, we are getting an idea of what would have happened if Slash and Co where still in GNR without Axl..
