Blabbermouth.net has transcribed some of the interview:
DUFF MCKAGAN: New VELVET REVOLVER Singer Has To Be Better Than SCOTT WEILAND - Nov. 23, 2010
In a new interview with Artisan News Service, VELVET REVOLVER bassist Duff McKagan talked about what the hold-up has been with regards to the search for the right replacement for departed frontman Scott Weiland.
"VELVET REVOLVER is not done, we're not finished, and I don't think we've made our best record yet," he said. "We'll tour again, we'll find the guy."
He added, "It's one of those things, if you concern yourself with it [too much, it starts to work against you] because there's a not to pool from out there ? for our particualr band. There's some great talent ? we've heard some really, really good guys ? but to get all of us to agree on what that? I don't know if the guy that all four of us want is ever gonna exist, but we've gotta get close."
Regarding a possible replacement for Weiland, McKagan said, "It's gotta be better than it was; it's gotta be as good, at least. And for us, it's gotta be better. And Scott is an amazing vocalist and frontman, so it's gotta be as good or better than that. We can't [step down a notch]."

Blabbermouth is turning into TMZ with their headlines. They make you think he insulted Scott and he clearly did not.

Might as well call it a day gentlemen.
there are maybe 5 singers/frontmen alive right now in the whole world better than Scott.
So just let this shit die already.

Someone unknown could also be better that Scott, you just wouldn't have heard of him. Although
if
they do find someone like that, it's going to be only by pure luck. It's unlikely VR will resume anytime soon...

I dunno, it seems pretty obvious that Slash wanted Myles in VR, but others didn't agree, and that's why Slash is planning his next solo album with him as the lone vocalist.

i used to love VR but to be honest, Im far more excited about a Slash and Myles album! Fuckin love Myles.
Am i right in saying that Slash said the album could be out next year?

I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it. I was kind of hoping he would do a Slash II, with more artists, especially those that he couldn't get the first time around, like Tyler.

Well, I think Slash mentioned he was already writing, both on his own and with Myles, and with them touring together next year, I'm sure the material could come together quickly.
Slash should just take his while live touring band into the studio next time, they definitely have great chemistry together.

One could surmise that Duff meant the chemistry in the band needs to be as good or better with the new singer as it was with Scott. That's not a knock on Scott's skills per se. The Blabbermouth headline insinuates that Duff is trying to "one up" Scott, but that isn't the case when you actually read Duff's words in context. It's a misleading headline no doubt.

I think he got pissed off with all the legal shit that they had to get through. Thats probably why he isn't in a hurry to go down that route again.

The best response to that is to quote your own post:

I think if Myles weren't in Alter Bridge maybe he would be the choice, since he's handling all the vocals on the Slash album, and Matt Sorum had originally suggested him-I really never paid much attention to him until the clips of him singing with Slash-he is great.

Name 5 frontmen ALIVE right now better than Scott Weiland? I can't think of 5.
I don't know how I feel about the all Myles solo album... I kinda worry that maybe I will just like Myles in small doses. We will see though.I liked the concerts but then again, he was singing mostly big hits i love. so we will see about a full album. I am not an Alter Bridge fan though. weird.
I just don't see VR finding that guy. Cause honestly, it is like this. If you were an amazing elite, great frontman, WHY would you join Velvet Revolver? no offense but it would be as close to career suicide as you could get. Look at guys like John Corabi that joined Motley Crue for one album.. now would Corabi have had any type of career? Maybe, maybe not, but once u take that Motley Crue job, u are tainted for life cause Vince Neil will always be the singer for Motley Crue. So u then become Ex Motley Crue singer and people no longer take u as serious as before.
same here. U are following the greatest frontman of all time and at least a top 25, and a top 10 since 1990...... I wouldn't wanna step into that shit. Unless my goal was to make a few bucks and that be that.
if u are a top 5 rock n roll frontman, undiscovered or not, u still have better chances persevering on your own and making a name for yourself.

I can probably name about 100 living frontmen who I personally think are better than Scott myself. But that number goes down to about zero if you mean frontmen better than Scott
and
available.

Mike Patton was mentioned a couple of months ago. But Slash shot that down with super human speed.

I think money has to be an issue in that too. Slash paid for that album to made himself and I doubt people like Fergie or Ozzy came cheap. Tyler would be very expensive.
