Sorum VR Singer 'He's A Guy We've Had Our Eye On, But The Timing Wasn't Right'

[Fingers]

That's pretty strong words from Duff describing him.

[D]

well it isn't like Duff is gonna say he sucks. Libertad was also the greatest thing they had ever done.

I'm still not psyched over this. I've youtubed a lot of his shit and its very MEH to me.

[m_rated96]

I think they probably told him he can keep goin with slipknot, and VR will become a semi side project, with Slash's solo work, Duff's loaded & slipknot being the VR offseason. there is no way VR is a fulltime band nemore

[Hudson]

I remember a time when Lenny Kravitz was rumored to be a candidate, but then he came out denying the rumor and made a record. He would still be a great pick especially since it seems like he would be able to do his own material on the side since it appears everyone else will be doing side projects for years to come.

Has anyone called the 2 guys that were in Snakepit?

Was it not Eric Dover on IFOCS? and Rod Jackson on ALG?

are they not good enough? what are they doing now?

What about that guy that was on youtube posting his auditons weekly a while back after Scott got fired.

How difficult can it really be for them to make a decision?

Yeah, they both sucked.

I second that.

[LongGoneDay]

Yeah, I thought they had their moments on those albums, not many, but certainly wouldn't get excited about either of them joining VR.
They were the weak links in Snakepit.

uhhhh not a fan of his Its So easy  guy has the stage presence of a lamp.

Corey Taylor would be money for the project-both in album sales and touring-he would generate big interest.

[One.In.A.Million]

Corey Taylor is something that looks good on paper but trust me it won't work. They are too different from each other, Scott was the best fit for VR and anything else would be 2nd best because people got used to Scott as the face and ultimate member of the band.

People don't realise just how good Scott was, they will soon when the new guy can't live up to him.

dude if Scott Weiland was suitable I don't know how Corey Taylor isn't.  He is a way better vocalist than Scott, but because he doesnt dance around like a mental patient he has no stage presence?  And why are we talking about It's So Easy?  I care more about the new music they are going to write together.  Bad news for some though, I cant see Corey doing any of the fruity stuff off of Libertad, unless you can squeeze him into a dress(or a youth medium Ramones tshirt)

He has a different stage presence with Slipknot -- at least I think it's him.

total command of over 100,000 people...thats some stage presence.  He could have told them to go out in the streets and kill the first person they saw, and they would have.

That's what I'd love to see -minus the mask of course. 

[Six Strings]

Corey would be a nice fit. But if they want to go for the harder sound, as they claim, they should go with Phil Anslemo. My opinion.

[Fingers]

Someone asked Slash if Rod Jackson or Eric Dover would be considered and he said no-said it in a chat, fyi.

[tippasaurus]

I'm with "D," Corey Taylor just doesn't do it for me.  I doubt he'd even be under consideration if not for his "fame". 

[D]

oh please. Slipknot are a total fucking gimmick with their stupid masks etc. a 2nd rate Kiss/Gwar wannabe band

Better singer than Scott? U gotta be shitting me.

Listen to his Stone Sour stuff, Scott sings/dances/writes circles around that shit.

I know People hate Scott cause of his Anti Axl comments, but lets give the man the credit he is due for being one of the greatest frontmen of the past 20 years easily.

last 20 years, from the time STP debuted till now, Scott is a top 5 frontman easy.

I know this much, I was a casual fan of Scott's, i loved Sour Girl and that was about it, cause i didn't listen to any of the early 90's grunge era music, so i knew of Creep,interstate and Sour Girl but that was it from STP

Went and watched VR Solely to see Slash and Duff........ Saw Scott and it completely floored me. i may have spent 10 mins of the entire concert looking at Slash or Duff and instantly became a huge Scott fan. heard Sex Type Thing for the first time at VR concert. Went back bought greatest hits and then all their albums and STP are now one of my 5 or 6 fave bands of all time.

so let's don't shit on Scott, just cause he had a slip in judgement and ranted on Axl in which he has now completely apologized for.
