Get Whit Crane from Ugly Kid Joe!

they should use buckcherrys singer.in the slash autobiography he says they worked with each other before.
or they could phone hagar.
but i want axl!gnr reunion!

God Da*n it, why the F*ck can’t these guys put their differences behind them. I know if they collaborated again, they would rock. Izzy even said he was up for a reunion. I for one am tired of seeing all this rap crap on the top of the charts. Isn’t it time for rock to be back on top. I know that if Izzy and Axl put their heads together again, they would rock.
I remember seeing these guys back in concert on April 30th, 1988 in Danville, Illinois. It was pretty much their kickoff of Appetite for Destruction. U.D.O. and Zodiac Mindwarp opened up for them. I remember that even Axl’s parents were there in the tour bus when they were meeting with all the fans. Come on guys, hash out your differences and give the people what they really want—–some ROCK!!!

I love G-N-R, and I was happy that SLash, Duff,and Matt had a succesful band, But because of Weiland….I never bought any of thier records. I couldn’t be happier that he’s gone.

Yes…the thing to do now is get Axl and Izzy and bring back G-N-R. We all miss them.

The only other thing to do is get Mike Patton…as much for his own sake as thiers. He may be the greatest vocalist of his generation (He’s almost Frank Sinatra) but i haven’t bought any of his records since the last Mr. Bungle album because his choices have been so uninteresting and he’s been a bit of a snot. If he were to team up with Slash it would be a beautiful coming together of old enemies and a great example to the rest of us.

Getting Patton would be as good if not better than a Guns-n-roses reunion.

It has to be Patton…..or it has to be Guns and Roses. These assed out new comers are of the post limp bizkit variety…and that shit ain’t no good for anyone.

Maybe shirley manson…that would be interesting…Hold out for someone great guys. Don’t settle for another hack like Weiland. I’m hoping for the best. I’ve love a reason to go back to the record store. I haven’t purchased a current rock album since 1993. The entire industry is infected. Lenny Kravits wouldn’t be so bad…I don’t know…..you guys’ll figure something out. My fingers are crossed. Losing Weiland was a great idea.

I heard a guy called Steve Dillon is an unspoilt planet.

Nah, you guys don’t know squat. There is no VR without Weiland. The guy was a crackhead but good at what he did. He may be screwed up in the head but most great artists are. I respect all those guys. They just need to call it quits, that or get Izzy. Someone new would be just as bad

who cares yea he was good but it was all just a matter of time. I think Izzy should join. A good singer would be i don’t know someone good.

First off, if Weiland fits with any group its STP…he just wasn’t a good fit for VR. As far as VR is concerned…how about Kip Winger…would Beavis and Butthead approve? Oh, or what about the dude from Jackyl…chainsaws are cool! Jason Bieler of Saigon Kick fame…where are you? Damnit Axl, why did you have to become such a freak! Drop the BS, get your act together, and make some meaningful music again, and take Izzy with you. He was the backbone anyway.

What about Cris Cornell?

Can’t say that I was a fan of STP or GnR…but Velvet Revolver ROCKED! Too bad it came to this. Scott was the perfect man for the job…. Axl is a douche. plain and simple…let him waste away at a county fair somewhere.

There is always Axl Rose.

There is always Axl Rose.

slash needs to hear an unknown singer from a so ca band called killing breed.

Hello Izzy Stradlin anyone? The original songwriter of GnR’s and a founding member of Velvet revolver.
Izzy get in the ring.

weiland is a mediocre talent at best. ive always heard bits of VEDDER/COBAIN in his vocal style. if it wasnt for LAYNE STALEY as well i doubt weiland would ever have had a career. VR could get the guy from CREED. His vocal style was just as unoriginal and hes out of a job. he would have to lose some weightt though and learn to imitate BOWIE and IGGY POP/PERRY Ferrel stage movements.getting a heroin habit seems to be manditory as well

Being that VR was the house band at the music awards show, finding a new lead singer via that Rockstar TV show would not be all that far off. Buckcherry as the new lead singer - Axl jr 2nd gen - I can see that working for the next two records at least. As for Scott, syanora sucker - stp or solo is the only hope i can envision for you - the death list comment is so true. And then after buckcherry has moved on, it will open the last revival door - Axl’s return - although I would be surprised if any of the orig members would let that come to pass - Chinese Democracy indeed - 13 years in the making - and we thought Tom Scholz (Boston) was a perfectionist?!

Hagar-good idea,but he wouldnt be a lifer.One album-later !
“half assed Bowie” haha agreed!
Weiland’s best days are behind him,as much as I like a lot of STP’s stuff.VR is too cliched for me.
For street cred,VR need someone good like Paul Anka,bring in the blue hairs,expand the fan base. Lemmy would do the same, I suppose. OOh tough one…are they still going to be a cock rock band? Then they need an unknown.But they wont get support for that move,everyone around them will be wanting a name.

spoiler: sammy hagar will sing for the new vr.

I don’t think these guys are too worried? I’m sure they already have some one in mind? Plus, Duff’s band Loaded is making a new record! He should have been singing anyway.

Give a call to John Waite he rocked in bad english until the new journey killed that band!

I hate to say this, but we may not see Scott W. around in 2 years. I’ve had him on the celebrity death list for 2 years running. I love STP and VR had a few good tunes, but I think that Slash and the Gang need a real front-runner without all the baggage and BS. STP is the band for Scott- I hope his old pals can get him on the straight-

Weiland belongs with STP. Best stage presence in the business, hands down, no question. Bottom line is, if you’ve been to an STP show, and you didn’t like, you’re a MO.

STP WERE A GOOD BAND BUT ALWAYS SLAGGED OFF IN THE SHADOW OF PEARL JAM ETC.. ID BE PISSED OFF IF I WERE WEILAND, SO I HOPE THIS TIME HE/THEY GET THE RECOGNITION DESERVED LOOK FORWARD TO AN ALBUM JUST STAY WELL SCOTT

For all those bashing matt as “just a time keeper” I remember reading an artical with Neil Peart when he was recording his Burning for Buddy album. He said that Matt “blew him away, a totaly underrated drummer.” Just sayin

saw GnR in ~92. one of the best live show ever.

Some suggestions:
Mike Patton would take VR to the next level. Although, I doubt he’d want to because he’s too into his millions of projects.

Jeff Scott Soto who was the singer for steel dragons in the Rock Star movie.

Chris Cornell wouldn’t be so bad either, although I can’t understand him half the time he sings.

This is another guns’n'roses situation for slash, duff & matt. They should carry on, they’ve wored too hard to get this band off the ground to just let it crumble around them. If there stuck for a singer they can gimme a bell!!! Lol!!!

there’s very few people on this post with anything intelligent or important to say.

(on topic comment)vr blows. hard. i’d like to know what the ‘hard rock’ blockheads think of the jesus lizard

Oh, Nick, you should see my gorgeous mullet. Made it muhself outta’ squirrel pelts. So plush and luxurious. Us inbreds will leave the likes of Franz Ferdinand to you, we just wanna’ RAWK!!!!

Rob T’s suggestion of recruiting Sammy Hagar and calling it Red Revolver was GREAT! Sammy and Slash, doit and pay the man…heheh, we’ll all be rocking the house down!

What’s that lame ass tv show that INXS and Tommy Lee and Co. did with Dave Navaro? Rockstar or something like American Idol with an edge. I can see it now, it’s coming this summer, “Rockstar Velvet Revolver”.

Hey Slappy slim, you’ve got a mullet and shoot beer cans in your front lawn to pass the time right?

STP 4EVAH

Great idea! You’re a genius! That is the solution. We want some rock n’ roll back!

The idea of hiring back Axl, Izzy and Adler is not bad at all. They change the name and they will have a band that sounds great. That is it!

Maybe they should hire Jack Black

good thing they got rid of the clown his whole iggy/bowie stage personna was getting old. hes made a career by ripping other people off. if your curious just compare the opening riff of STPS “sex type thing” and Danzigs “snakes of christ”

Slash and co., Chris Jericho is available. I know he is dedicated to Fozzy but VR could easily be his side project

Audioslave lead singer + VR
Cornell and slash would make an amazing band, but it’ll never happen.

LEMMY should sing for VR
we want Lemmy,we want Lemmy!!!

Nice of Weiland, in his official response, to mock “the illustrious ‘guitar hero’ Saul Hudson a.k.a. Slash”. Funny how the little prick calls Matt Sorum “immature” about 2 weeks ago, yet can’t resist taking potshots like a little bitch on his way out the door. Low-class junkie can go suck a moose cock.

VR blew chunks anyway. At least STP’s getting back together.

drug addict, can’t keep a girl, can’t keep a band, can’t stay married, fragile, etc. yes, it looks good on weiland, and countless other rock legends, dead or alive, that’s rock and roll, get over it, quit your crying, if you’re looking for role models, you may want to look elsewhere, it’s about the music, shut up and listen or just shut up

Hal Ozsan should be the lead singer of VR! He was the founder/songwriter/lead vocalist of the up and coming rock band Poets and Pornstars, but he recently quit for reasons that are unclear. Check out youtube and search Poets and Pornstars song “Rock N Roll” and see what you think…

I got to laugh at all you clowns saying VR sucks. Members of the blank generation that gave us all of those lumberjack shirt wearing alterna-crap bands to begin with. Jerk off to the useless likes of Smashing Pumpkins, then. VR is rock and roll. Too bad the 90’s killed rock and roll, probably for good. Interpol? Modest Mouse? Are you fucking serious? What all of you spineless little simps need to do is drink about 30 cheap beers and crank some AC/DC. Then maybe your moronic brains might reset.

Weiland is a drug addicted loser; he can’t stay married, can’t keep a girl, can’t keep a band. He had 2 really good gigs (STP & VR), and flushed both down the toilet, bashing everyone as he left. He’s lucky that the other guys from STP would even consider working with him again (they must have been desperate).

Honestly, they need to knock off this supergroup shit. VR is awesome, and they should find a singer that will appreciate being in their group. Bring some new fresh talent in and make a new star. I’m sick of seeing bands bring in these lead singers that are too cocky to collaborate. There are only so many frontmen out there, and I’m sick of seeing them. I want someone new. Half the shit on here is so weak. AXL! HAGGAR! I think someone actually said GARY CHERONE!!…yeah, why don’t you just have Dee Snider on the mic…………stupid……Get someone new that we can follow and get excited about. AIC did it, and that fucker rules…

Weiland is a fragile, whiny little bitch, he sucks and this looks SOOOOO good on him.

scott weiland kicks ass, can’t beleive he’s still alive though, and can’t wait to see/hear STP again, hope they come out with some great stuff

maybe VR really should do a TV show to find a new lead singer - it worked for INXS… oh wait, not really. i’d watch it anyway

I think the supergroup idea is fine so long as people use it as a tool to try something new and move on, like Oysterhead or “Ball-Hog or Tugboat?” by Mike Watt.
When it’s a bunch of older rockers trying to be relevant again, egos always seem to come back and kill the vibe. Not sure what breaks it up, I guess you have to be in their shoes to understand the drama.

I only liked them because of Slash, haha!

Give me the microphone

Give me the microphone.

Weiland was a no talent loser anyway.

Too bad, these guys were a pretty decent band, but without Weiland, now they are doomed. He is what made them sound fresh and relevant. Too bad these “supergroups” NEVER last (can you say Audioslave?)!!!

Time to hire Axl… and Izzy…and, why not, Steven Adler

Scott is erratic, great singer but because of his addiction, he’s insane to deal with. Look, he spent years bad mouthing STP and now their his best friends again.
Rename “Red Revolver” and get Sammy Hagar!

weiland was the reason you guys rocked. now that his history. then so are you. no hard feelings.

I’m annoyed at a lot of the comments. The band had a few bad sappy moments on their first album (Fall to Pieces was the most wretched) and now everyone dogs them. The second album was great and their music will be great with a vocalist that isn’t a junkie loser.

Y-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aw n. Same reaction I have to their records, stories about them.

Check out the band MENOMENA! Fuck these other twats.

he was so good, they don’t know what they are doing.
they are never be the same….

A third album may be released but it aint going to be VR without Scott…they were the original line up, getting a new front man after 2 albums just aint going to work! Bet Slash wishes he stuck with his first choice, Josh Todd!

M’on STP - can’t wait for the new album!

Now if they could just lose the other guys…

LOL @ people who still think any of this matters, is relevant, or good. Please leave Modern Rock radio, there’s a huge world beyond Alice In Chains and Tool, you lames.

chris cornell wouldnt/cannot get back with soundgarden. Matt cameron, the former drummer is drumming for pearl jam, he has been for the past 10 years, where have you guys been?

Good Riddance .. they were about as good as Journey,,,,,

Get sober and forget how to rock…. what is it with these bands???

P.S - Cornell’s talent level is WAY above VR. He doesn’t need them.

“You can’t quit - YOU’RE FIRED!” As much as I like Scotty’s voice, he never fails to disappoint fans and fellow band members.

Who actually cares?

Jake said “Doesn’t anyone realize that Velvet Revolver sucks? I don’t get it. They’re as generic can possibly be. Why does RS give them so much press? They had one hit song. One.”

Wow. So… if you judge the quality of an artist by their hits… Britney Spears should be a great artist!

VR needs to call it day. It was weird mix of STP and GNR. STP was good and GNR was good. IF it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I hope the STP reunion will last. That’s if Scott doesn’t f*ck it up.

ge bif naked, she needs band they need a singer

I almost guarantee that VR will find a new lead singer via that Rockstar TV show.

Erratic?

No … really?

Jeeze

somebody raped my tapeworm abortion…

the guy couldn’t sing anyway.

dude, weiland sucked in v.r. he jammed in stp, but he couldn’t keep up with the music v.r. put together. he sounded like a giddy highschool girl who hadn’t gotten laid yet. v.r. need to get maynard. the dude is already in like 10 bands, so what’s one more? cornell rocks, but he wouldn’t fit ///

P.S.

Unless I’m missing a comment somewhere in here, I can’t believe no one has suggested GARY CHERONE as the new singer! (or perhaps John Carobi?)

Seriously, who is upset that this band of half-asses is splitting up?

God bless Duff and Slash but there’s absolutely nothing “dangerous” about writing mediocre cliched material and playing the same 80 minute set every single night.

They’re going to continue? VR are the Hillary Clinton of rock n’ roll - everyone is saying “You suck! Go home!” and they obviously aren’t listening.

The only acceptable singer for these guys is Axl Rose. Maybe he’ll re-teach them how to write memorable songs as well.

I will sing.

Hey, if Jesus says Axl is the new VR singer, who am I to argue? I mean, it’s Jesus!!

Weiland leaving one woman, er band and going back to his ex. How often does that last? Soon all the reasons why broke up in the first place come back two fold. His best work was his solo album. VR needs a cheesy reality tv show for their next singer. I don’t care how good a singer is, he is part of a band and needs to respect his band mates!

I don’t want to be ‘that guy’, but I’m gonna say what we’re all thinking; AAAAXXXXLLLL! Yes, you know thats the right decision. Even if it means the bands’ certain destruction, that’s what these guys have always been about! Rock On, G’n'R!

Who gives a F#*k about Scott Weiland? The guy does a half-assed Iggy Pop/David Bowie impersonation, couldn’t write a coherent lyric to save his life and he’s a DRAMA queen. Like the world REALLY needs another STP record… Please Scott, do us all a favor and push the plunger too deep already. You’ve had the longest leaving act in Rock history.

I second them getting Sammy on the phone. God knows that man will play with sing with anyone. That and he has a set of pipes.

let Slash sing

Eddie Van Halen: Slash, I have 2 lead singers you can borrow until I get sick of our current one and want one of them back.

Slash: I guess we’ll borrow Sammy until you fire David Lee again.

I second that Jon, get Hagar on the phone!

Velvet Revolver sucks. Always have. I love STP and I like G’n'R but I never liked VR.

P.S. Chris Cornell should not be a member of VR. That wouldn’t work at all. He should get back with Soundgarden (not Audioslave because therefore RATM would have to break up again).

how about chris cornell as the new singer, since his solo stuff is getting really bad and we all know he has the chops to be in the band

Did Buckcherry really break up or is that a joke?

The new singer of Velvet Revolver has been announced to be Axl Rose. I would know - I’m Jesus.

Axl anyone. Could this open up a GNR reunion.

Doesn’t anyone realize that Velvet Revolver sucks? I don’t get it. They’re as generic can possibly be. Why does RS give them so much press? They had one hit song. One.

Shame that Weiland’s gone, Contraband was an excellent album (Libertad not so much). Glad I got the chance to see them live. I wonder if the new singer will keep up the ’supergroup’ theme … Chris Cornell anyone?

I saw VR and the band rocked all over weiland - he was the week link definitely. They should get Josh from Buckcherry of the rumors are true that they broke up too…

Scott Weiland made Velvet Revolver? Wow, that’s a new one. Slash rules, man. He is the star of that show.

In an unrelated note Buckcherry has just broken up. that dude has been trying to be axl rose forever maybe this will be his chance.

honestly i thought when I saw them live that Scott kinda made the band i don’t think they are gonna get anywhere without him

Do you really think that grown up men in this mental state could get along with each other?

bring back axl!

Scott just didn’t have it - especially on the second album. I thought the band sounded better on Libertad than Contraband, but that Weiland was the weak spot and that the words were weak. Sort of like this desperate attempt to be “rock’n roll.”

Somebody get Sammy Hagar on the phone.

Velvet Revolver sucked anyway. Like Audioslave but without releasing even one good album.

scott weiland is the shit… velvet revolver isnt gonna find anyone as good as him or axel (they really are gnr) slash is a drunken loser and matt sorum plays the same parts over and over and over again.

Velvet Revolver always needed a different singer. Scott’s voice was too thin and his lyrics were monotonously simple and unengaging for the most part. Plus, divas are always working solo since no one can stand them. Anyone have odds on how long the guys in STP can stand him again?

Yah, I just never liked Scott’s voice with this band. Hope he gets some help and direction (Scott that is) and the band gets an ill new singer. I Loved the music, just never his voice with slash and co.

:-( I hope they get a good new singer
