How about Fred Durst. Yeah, bitch!

IZZY

gavin rossdale, scott stapp, rossi, HAHAHA wtf…

the rest of those guys are shit, on level with scott.

Tori Amos.

Wow Mike Patton and Chris Cornell are the only decent ones out of those. I mean Scott Stapp and Kid Rock? What a joke.

Oh yeah, pretend you didn’t see me brilliantly suggest Gary Cherone. You know it was funny.

Obviously,not a single frontman alive today comes even close to filling the shoes of W. Axl Rose.Pssh.Well,ok … Maybe Cornell would be a good choice.I would also love to hear what Danzig’s kick ass vocals would have to offer.Weren’t Danzig and Slash supposed to record some “blues” album at one point?

Barbara Streisand

I could see Jeff Scott Soto. The man has an amazing voice and is a great lyricist. John Corabi. When he was with Motley Crue. That album rocked. From begining to end.
London Le Grand of Brides of Destruction. Great front man. Great voice.

What Tim “Ripper” Owens up to these days?

Ozzy and Slash could never handle being in a band together. To big egos. Though, that would be an incredible band

1Chris Cornell, wont happen, perfers to do his own thing.
2. Josh Todd from Buckcherry, they will sound like Buckcherry. Enough said.
3. Sebastian Bach, Skid Row all over again. I dont think so.
4. Eric Dover from Slash’s Snakepit. I would pick Rod Jackson over this wanna be.
5. Izzy Stradlin. No vocal’s. Please.
6. Gavin Rossdale. Nope.Not going to happen.
7. Mike Patton ?
8. Lukas Rossi from Rock Star: Supernova. That could work. I actually liked that album.
9. Scott Stapp, No
10. Sammy Hagar,
11. Billy Idol, definetly not.
12. Danzig. The doors on steroid.
13. Kid Rock,Please
14. Perry Farrell, No way
15. Ozzy Osbourne, got his own thing going with Zakk.

dave bickler? former eye of the tiger.survivor vocalist. real man of genius.

David Coverdale, old & sleazy fits for VR

Cornell would be awesome. Make 3 records and tour for a few years like Audioslave. This gives them additional $$$$ to their bank account and would make a lot of fans happy for while until Axl’s project comes out. Then if it blows, maybe they’ll consider reuniting the old G n’ R and Soundgarden. Everyone’s happy.

If Know one will step up to the plate hell I’ll do it

David St. Hubbins

Yeah

b- real
chris robinson
that guy from creed
that short bald guy from the scorpions
liz phair
scarlett johansen
or david johansen

Why would Chris Robinson leave the Crowes? Have you heard the album that just came out? It’s ten times better than anything Velvet Revolver has ever done.

Sebastian Bach
Lukas Rossi
Scott Stapp

you must be kidding

fred durst? no way!

chris cornell or josh todd would be great.

they should find a girl, that would be cool,thank god they got rid of that asshole weiland. of course it would be great to watch the old GNR back together, too bad axl has a cover band right now.

uhh…i don’t know…the dude from reo speedwagon?

why care? it’s all over!! count your money….and go home…game over!

GNR REUNION!!!!

without a doubt the best picks are Iggy pop or steven tyler

Garland.
Judy Garland

Iggy Pop.

I like the woman rocker idea…

Get Sass Jordan!!!!

OR

How ’bout Delana or Storm Large from Rock Star: Supernova?? One of them shoulda won anyway. Screw Lukas!! What a poser.

Get Mark Burnett to do another “Rock Star” season and settle it once and for all!

They already have Robert Plant slated for their next record.

Derek St. Holmes!! (He sand strangehold with Ted Nugent)

I think he had an incredible voice, and have no idea what he’s up to now.

The only problem I can forsee with chris Cornell is that he may too reunite with Soundgarden and the rest of VR will be right back to the predicament they are in right now. In my opinion, VR should get an unknown lead vocalist; this way it will be a less of a chance of being in their current predicament. Also to give that person a chance at stardom.

Call off the dogs,
the search is over.
joe cool has the answer…

David St. Hubbins.

Rick Astley.

Unlike Weiland, he will never give them up, let them down, run around, or desert them.

AXL F*CKIN’ ROSE!!!

How about England Dan. That dude is awesome, and he has a songwriting partner who’s available, too.

Stop the debate! I’ve got your man – David Coverdale, after he gets a dermabrasion, that is!!!!!!

Who gives a crap? VR is the next Enuff Z’Nuff. No, the next Starbuck.

Blaze Bailey. You’re welcome. He is the best man for the job. Just keep him away from the next Maiden album whatever you do.

AXL ROSE

AXL ROSE

AXL ROSE

you know you all want it.

Sebastian Bach!!!!

We all need to not vote for anyother singer, Axl is the man for the job, If we just stop talking about other singers and demand Axl it could happen! Please dont bring soundgarden in to guns and roses, PLEASE

Now is the time to stand up and scream for old gnr lineup, there may not be a better time to stand up, Please no Cris Cornell

Now is the time to stand up and scream for old gnr lineup, there may not be a better time to stand up, Please no Cris Cornell

1. Shirley Manson
2. Billy Idol
3. Meatloaf
4. i dunno…Amanda Palmer

They’re going to try to get Jerry Cantrell. Rolling Stone chat board exclusive.

If they want to stay “Velvet Revolver” then they need to have a singer that has the same early ninties nasal-grunge voice as Weiland. So vocally Gavin Rossdale, Scott Stapp, Eddie Vedder, etc. all make sense, but the band has no connection to those guys, and there would be some pretty substantial personality differences. Jerry is the best choice since they know him, he’s not a drama queen, and he’s a similar type of guy. For that matter he has a large body of work for the band to cover at live shows. Jerry would be great; I hope it works out.

Interesting . . . Cantrell sounds like a good fit.

He’s got a better voice and vibe than Weiland anyway.

He could also help out in the songwriting department, God knows they need it.

Which frontman would I fight?

I’d fight Ozzy. He’ll bite and scratch and claw.

Now to mention pissing on you and casting spells.

Eric Dover is #1 on my list. He’s got 80 times the pipes that Smack-Head Weiland could ever hope to have.

izzy would be cool

The stage has been set. We have sat back and watched the most influential figures in rock reunite over the last decade….its time for the return of GUNS….cmon and admit you know you want it……

The stage has been set. The stars have aligned. Everything happens for a reason………DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE F*CK YOU ARE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

ozzy actually could work…but he doesn’t have quite the amount of energy anymore…same with danzig
Todd would need a lyricist (izzy!)…the dover experiment happened and wasn’t that great…rossdale sucks…Patton was amazing, but i haven’t heard him in a while…rossi sucks alot…stapp sucks the most…hagar’s too old/ van hagar sucked (solo was great)…Idol, too old and not a good fit…Kid Rock, hahahahha, yea they want it to be a talented band…farrell, not a good fit…
bach could be cool, but would just make everyone (yes everyone)want the real GNR more…Cornell would be great musically, but it would never last…

izzy should take dave’s place and he should get his indiana friend to join

until then,
i suggest trainwreck (relatively unknown VR/gnr coverband singer)…look him up VR

man, John Bush, who was the best singer anthrax ever had

Mike Ness

It’s a big secret…but they’re in talks with Sebastian Bach. Heard it here first folks

Ozzy too old, Kid Rock not suited. Chris Cornell too likely to reunion with Soundgarden OR Audioslave.
My vote goes to either Seb Bach or possibly Michael Matijevic – one of the greatest voices EVER!!

Sanjia

David Lee Roth or Dee Snider…

mike skinner

DIRK DIGGLER…I’m just sayin’

I think Gavin Rossdale from Bush, but that’s just my own opinion.

fred durst would be a great choice! i’m glad someone thought of him. in fact, weiland served as vocal coach for durst during the ’significant other’ and ’starfish’ recording sessions

fred durst would be a great choice! i’m glad someone thought of him. in fact, weiland served as vocal coach for durst during the ’significant other’ and ’starfish’ recording sessions

As long as you have Matthew Sorum is in the band is gonna sock.

Please get Izzy, Axl and Steven back

its really sad to see bands like Motley Crue making records and not have GnR get back together. And we have to deal with this Velvet crap. Thats why Weiland left … its crap.

I wish i could see the old GNR together again. But obviously, due to ego problem, that’s still impossible. they should try to find somebody with similar voice and attittude as Axl and stop playing to be a new band. We need more GNR like songs

Where’s KEVIN JONES ?
have a live audition with all these guys Chris & I will roll all there heads !!!!!!! Buckcherry yeah freaking right !! ahhhhhhhhhhahahaaaaaaaaaa aaaah ahaaaa hey how about Lou Reed or Johnny Rotten !! yeah thats right I had the ballz to nominate myself – bite me

Sebastian Bach is a joke. Cornell is great vocalist and he thinks he can make it on his own but cannot – he needs to get back together with Soundgarden. Ozzy – come on! really? Scott Stapp from Creed – I can’t believe his name actually came up. Gavin Rossdale – he hasn’t been relavent since 1998. Jerry Cantrell is way too talented plus he can survive on his own – he doesn’t need those losers. GNR getting back together will never happen so forget about that pipe-dream. There should be a law against “super-groups” like Audioslave and Velvet Revolver because they never work – too many egos. Not to mention that Audioslave and Velvet Revolver are incredibly lame band names. “Welcome Holiday Inn guests, tonight’s entertainment will be Velvet Revolver. They will begin right after the dinner buffet in the manager’s lounge. Tips are appreciated.”

I have to confess, the idea of Mike Patton fronting VR is definitely an intriguing one…

Spinal Tap would like to add
Kevin Effing Jones of W.A.D. & Rattleface we feel he ’s Zesty

The jesse kinch kid was a real surprise.amazing stage presence and great performer.He could be the one.Great website and you tube videos!PEOPLE SHOULD CHECK THIS BOY OUT!!!

Cornell would be cool. Besides, he can’t get back together with Soundgarden because Matt Cameron would have to leave Pearl Jam, and that’s just not nice.

Nigel & I Nominate Kevin Jones of Rattleface how about giving an unkown a shot !! he was up Snakepit and Talk Show years ago -he’d blow everyone away bar none he goes to 11

Hmmm…I like the idea of Shirley Manson a lot — good call. What about Lenny Kravitz?
But the planets do seem to be lining up for a true GnR reunion — it needs to happen.

Let Axl R.I.P. – besides he already gave Stevie Wonder his Dread Wig Back – he balder than George On Seinfeld now lets move to future shall we always dig up the past do really want that spoiled babybitch back ??? why ??

How bout that dreamey kid from American Idol !! David – you know the one that looks like he’s from the Disney Channel Kids show that sang three lines of Imagination and got a call from Yoko !! HEY THAT’S IT YOKO ONO AS THE NEW VELVET REVOLVER VOCALIST !

Dear Lou, Kick Rocks on bashing on Matt Sorum – he’s the best rock drummer in the world and learn how to spell suck
so Lou do you skip ?? do ya darlin ??? sock it to um bro !! well I otttttttttaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

Chris Cornell is NOT a team player.Theydd be looking for a third singer after one or two albums without a doubt.

Scott Stapp doesn’t fit at all

Eric dover is an amazing singer, whoever talks down to him is an ass

Rock it with the kid..that kid Jesse Kinch you guys been talkin about.He’s a funky rockin brother even if he’s 13.. Just think, no alcohol, no drugs, ..perfect singer on that you tube walk video! Rock on little man!

shifty shellshock from Crazytown would be my choice. come my lady, come come my lady.

im glad im not the only one who thinks john bush would be the best fit!!!! he is a great singer and would fit perfectly with them.
Oh and screw everybody here that says vr sux! u sux!! vr have great songs and i think they are a great band (at least in my opinion)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Torn Anus…I mean Tori Amos…would be great

Seb. Bach was actually the first choice of singer for VR back when they started. But they couldn’t come to terms over some stupid stuff.

Justin Hawkins (although if he is trying to stay clean, it probably wouldn’t be the best move on his part).

David Cook!!!
Dont you guys watch idol. He’s perfect, he’s got really cool hair, and black finger nails, and he does this weird smirky thing with his eyebrows. Perfect man for the job.

Like The Ozzman man would ever sing with velvet Revolver. Not that I have anything against VR I think they are great and Slash and Duff are two of my heroes. I don’t see Ozzy going with them in a million years however.

He’s fronted a band which consists of two guys who have toured with Malmsteen nd Vai and he has done it well since the age of 12,and surely looks like the leader.I have seen this kid in action as opening act for Lukas Rossi OF Rockstar Supernova.He has a lot of Slash in him and the two of them playing guitar and interacting together would be great for rock.The kid Jesse Kinch should be given great consideration. He is for real and he is ready!His website really shows him off in many styles.

what about that tatooed girl from this season of american idol?? she has a killer talent, and looks like she’s a rocker.they should try a girl.

Izzy Stradlin!!!

Izzy Stradlin!!!

Morrissey

Eric Dover is the only one that will make VR shine!

Chris Cornell can wail but he’s a poor lyricist. Scott Stapp is a religious idiot. Jerry Cantrell is great but VR doesn’t need another guitar player. Gavin Rossdale would be okay but he’s not going to hit the road and leave his new family. Chris Robinson has a better thing going on with the Crowes. Face it: replacing Weiland is almost impossible. Only Axl could show him up. Time to fold up VR and start a whole new band.

Amy Search, from Malaysia

IZZY! IZZY! IZZY! IZZY! IZZY! IZZY!

AXL

GNR really needs to reunite at this point. I mean Hell froze over and David Lee Roth got back with Eddie Van Halen, so anything can happen. Now would be the best time with whole VR mess. If not I agree to get a unkown singer, someone we haven’t seen before.

If they want to fall into the category of “completely irrelevant” they will pick Sabastan Bach.

It’s pretty obvious, but I won’t let him.

Axl, jajaja but stop joking Chris woul be the best i mean you hear cochise, he fit in a soun like zepellin in an alternative way, the perfect for velvet and slash and 3rd (remember axl is 1st ) Josh a really rocker attitude

This will sound random to all of you, and he may be “too old”, but I think this guy is still “tough-as-nails” enough for the position:
Corey Glover (from Living Colour).
It’d be pretty cool.

I would buy a new STP cd but I’d rather have third VR album. Maybe the problem is Matt Sorum. Replace him or have a talk with him and maybe Weiland will stay.

If they can’t get Josh Todd then they’ll have to call Rob Halford.

they just need to get rid of matt then bring in a better drummer and then forsure bring back scott!
use to love matt now i fucking hate him..

Well this canadian rocker would give his left nut. Even though it would hurt like hell. For an audition.

For Your Consideration:
Rolf Harris (awesome cover of “stairway to heaven”)
Michael Jackson (’cos he’s “really, really Bad”)
that bloke out of Ugly Kid Joe (you remember them, don’t you? Nope? me neither).
Ahem

I love Chris but he is way too political motivated for a band like velvet revolver who just to want to rock out without the rest of the krap…Axl needs to pull his shit together and get the band back on track without being a controlling asshole…

Kevin Jones will be the New Lead Singer of Velvet Revolver!!! He’s my bro and he is awesome
Davey P.
Dana Point, Ca

Kevin Jones from Rattleface & W.A.D. would be the perfect for for VR !!!

I heard that Kevin Jones of Rattleface is auditioning for VR !

Kevin Jones of Rattleface !!!

Sounds like he is choking on something.

The best rock star alive. DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH would be massive but he has a slightly more high pofile gig at the moment…The VAN HALEN tour is grossing 1.4 million a show. My guess is after this is done he’s gonna hang it up, and count his millions.

JONESEY FROM RATTLEFACE WOULD SLAY THEM ALL AS THE NEW SINGER OF VELVET REVOLVER

Kevin Jones would be the dude

I heard a CD that Jones sang on with Slash – an old demo when he was trying to get the Snakepit Gig like 9 years ago – Kevin is hottest unkown in music and shreds guitar he blows Axl and Weiland away !! and I dug Axl 15 years ago !! you know before he did the whole Bo Derek Wig Thing …

KEVIN JONESSSSSSSSSSSSSSZAYYYYYYYYYY HELL YEAH without a question the Vocal Star of all in O.C. throw some metal on top of that VR – he’s blues based just like Slash – they’d be so killer together – I saw Kevin Jones sing last Sunday at his studio – he sangs for 4 hours straight and didnt miss a note – he was singing Originals and copies even a couple Alice In Chains songs and sounded awesome !! on guitar as well he’s the real deal

Randy Van Stone is the only MAN for the job.

I would choose Toschie, lead vocal of Audrey Horne. Great Voice, it would be perfect for Velvet Revolver!!

Actually SLASH, TOMMY LEE, DAVID LEE ROTH, and the bassist from SABBITH were very close to putting this group together in the late 90’s but ego’s prevailed.

michael jackson , period.

Prophet from the band ST. MADNESS would take them all out!

He would be perfect for Slash and company!

VR RULES!

Mike Matijevic from steelheart

Has anyone listened to Libertad lately?!?! That record sounds like a new STP record with Slash taking periodic solos. Honestly, no one besides Weiland can pull off those tunes. His style is to unique. I think VR needs to wrap it up and start from scratch. I love both STP and VR, but VR without Weiland is just 3 5ths of GNR, 1 suicide machine, and no singer.

1. Axl Rose
2. Izzy Stradlin
3. Billy Idol
4. Sebastion Bach
5. David Lee Roth
6. Eric Dover
7. Sammy Hagar

JOHN CORABI!!! He’s THE MAN for VR

if axl’s not up for a reunion then i think they need a complete unknown singer

the suggestion of a girl is an interesting one. that would be different and cause a lot of good buzz. they just have to find one that’s a super hot badass who can sing big and gritty with the right style. thatwould be tough to find.

haha ha I just described my dream woman

I agree with anyone who says they need a new and unknown singer. You can’t just take some washed up idiot who already messed up one band. they need an unknown, random person.

Whitfield Crane from Ugly Kid Joe. He would be excellent for them..

david cook

girls fronting bands are awesome.
we don’t have a good one any more. courtney love is old and ugly these days. we need fresh blood

I really like VR, but Scott’s dancing and posing made me cringe every time I went to see them play. So yeah, I’d rather see a nice looking woman on stage with a set of pipes than another dude who moves like a cracked out stripper. I’d be at every show to see that.

And I vote that the new singer is banned from using that tired megaphone forevermore.

Lukas Rossi??
David Cook??
Scott Stapp??
Fred Durst??
…and etc.????

You people have to be kidding, right?

Their best bet is an unknown, but I’m starting to think the VR guys might be screwed.

I have loved VR for a very long time and saw them in winniepg in october. and i think with out scott wieland they cant be a band. He has amazing vocals that i dont think anyone could sound like….so i hate to say it but i think VR is done.THEY SHOULD START GUNS AND ROSES AGAIN!!

it better not be that guy Michael Johns from AMerican Idol or any a$$-hat like that. It would just be wrong, but I read somewhere that they may have found a guy from australia to be their singer. If they pick an guy like him I’ll write them off for good and be done with ‘em. I hope they don’t rush themselves in finding the right person.

KEVIN JONES FROM THE BAND RATTLEFACE WILL THE NEW SINGER OF VR IF THEY ARE SMART

I hope it’s Lenny Kravits

There’s a guy in this cover band called “Talk it Up”, he used to be the singer in Rumble Fish.He’s from Sydney & the guy can sing anything.

the stuff on youtube of slash and perry farrell is amazing, but with jane’s getting together again (again) it’s not going to happen. Sass Jordan would rock, but not be VR. Rob Zombie gets my vote, as if he’d ever do it. Eric Dover was a good foil for Slash.

V.R Should look in Australia for a real HARD ROK Singer

Does anyone know where i can find a pic online of a Rolling Stones Cover that has Gavin Rossdale on it with Shirley Manson biting his cheek? I know it exists but i can’t find it on here. Let me know please!

Hey all, Im a little known singer from the east, but I was given a chance by VR management to work on a song to see if I might audition – here is the result. that space you know…./davidseansimpson

T hanks

Yeah Right – wait to you hear those 2 same tracks sang by Kevin Jones – he wrote great lyrics and his voice sounds killer – your done end of story Kevin will be their new singer

Jones kicks azz !!

I have to say Devin Townsend. He’s got a great voice, the man can write about anything, and he can produce some of the best things i’ve ever heard (from a sound quality standpoint some of the music is just weird). Besides that he hugely pragmatic during live performances.
