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

[overmatik]

I know that it is not going to happen, but I honestly can't see any other guy that would make VR what it should be other than Seb. I honestly just can't...

really?  I think he would be an awful choice, part of the reason why Scott Weiland sarcastically suggested him as a replacement after he left.  Corey Taylor would be my top choice of people who are available, so I hope that works out.  I like Skid Row/Sebastian Bach, ive seen Bach over 10 times on his own ,nevermind when he was opening for GNR, I also saw him on broadway and went to several album signings of his.  I think he is amazing, just a bad fit for VR.  He has a very dated style of singing, it will sound like an 80's band, especially with Slash on guitar as well.

Well, you see, to me this wouldn't be a  bad thing at all. I wish more bands would sound like the 80s, I love the 80s Better to stick to your own guns than trying to sound different and losing your identity. I liked VR but they had no identity...

So Ash Hudson ( Slash's Brother ) posted this up on FB today if it means anything to anyone.

With a video of a Slipknot song at the end of the post ; also made a comment on it "that's word around the camp ; its going down! "

[Fingers]

I would love to see at least 1 album and tour with him-I'm still skeptical it will happen, but would love to see it.

its going down! "

I wish someone would ask him when.

Are you sure it's actually his brother? There are a number of fake FB accounts for various people related to GNR. Some people have no lives.

It is Ash's account.

[WTTJ_91]

I'm about 99% sure it is actually his account, he uses it to promote his work in Conart.

[Smoking Guns]

Well, this is good news!

Slipknot guitarist says the band if ready to come back... 

[metallex78]

VR ain't gonna be starting any time soon, which leaves Corey free to do stuff with Slipknot, until VR are ready again.

Slash said he won't be looking at VR again until April/May after his own tour is done.

[overmatik]

Wow, it would be funny if Slash's brother were the one to really break the news! Hell, I know Matt wouldn't like it at all.

I do not follow Slipknot so I might be wrong about this. But I thought I read something a few months ago quoting Corey as saying he would do a tour this summer but that he was not recording any new music with Slipknot.

This information must not be confidential any longer. Ash has had alot of practice on keeping things quite.

I don't really follow Slipknot either, but from some of the comments at BM, Joey seems to be the one talking about a come back.

And you're right, Corey recently said this to Billboard:
 
While other Slipknot members have spoken about starting a new album, Taylor says he's not nearly in that headspace.
 
"There's a lot of things I've got to figure out about myself before I can even contemplate that," he explains. "There's a big part of me that wonders if I'm the guy for that band anymore. I'm in such a different place in my life...musically, spiritually. I'm not the angry kid anymore. A lot of things don't mean the same to me anymore, and there's a lot of things I don't feel like saying anymore. Does it make sense anymore? We'll just have to see."

From a chat with Duff at ESPN.com:

Q. Besides singing voice, what is the most important attribute for a lead singer of a rock band to have?

A. Any good artist has to have had some kind of rub in their life, something real. Something you have to get out lyrically or you are going to kill yourself or somebody else. Those are the lyrics that inspire. The ability to tap the dark stuff and have it be real. Great lead singers have the ability to tap that. No inhibitions helps as well. Axl and Scott are two of the best front men ever. Corey Taylor is one of those guys as well. He can tap it. He has to get those lyrics on the paper or his world is going to crash down around him.

I saw you mentioned Corey Taylor. He has been rumored to be the new singer in Velvet Revolver. Is this true?

Duff McKagan  (3:34 PM)

I can neither confirm nor deny.

[rebelhipi]

Fergie......

I would kill myself 

Joe

anybody else now hope it is Fergie?

I'd rather it be Fergie than the dude from Slipknot. "Beautiful Dangerous" is one of my favorite tracks on Slash's CD.

same here and also i think that black eyed peas just had a new record so that would be the bad timing lol still better than corey

Since when does Duff talk like this?  It just has to be Corey.

Matt is just pissed they won't announce it!

He is a bad dude though. I like him as a human being and a singer. He's the voice of a whole new generation.
