Dead Flower Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I kinda get the feeling Slash's commitment to VR is almost non-existent these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Utah Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 4/1/09 -- NEW WEEKLY UPDATE:http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseact...logId=480559649weekly update! "Hey gang, what's happening? Things are going fantastic in the studio, Josh Freese & Chris Chaney are one hell of a rhythm machine & the guitar sound is FAT! "fucking Awesome Tone!" All is going perfect so far. We start recording vocals today & I'm really excited about working with this particular individual, its going to be quite an event.In reading your mail I find that I've been receiving a lot of questions about VR. Mostly about if we have found a new singer & if we're going to tour again. In response to the former, no we haven't found a singer yet. There was a lot of talk about our announcing a new singer in March but it obviously didn't happen. We had somebody that we thought was a really good candidate, but it just wasn't meant to be. So, we're still looking. In response to the latter question, of course VR is going to tour again, we just have to find the right person to front the band. We have a bunch of new material & we're all anxious to get going, but the key ingredient for a rock & roll band such as VR is an amazing frontman, & we haven't found the right man for the job, yet.As far as upcoming events, I'll be playing the Quart Fest in Norway, June 30th with special guests. Also, I will be doing a few big shows TBA in support of my solo album at some point. I'm sure there will be some other gigs here & there as well, so stay tuned.I think that pretty much covers it for now, VR is still looking for a lead vocalist & I'm busy in the studio getting this record together. Hopefully by the time I'm done with my record, Velvet Revolver will be announcing some new plans, if not before. R & F'n R! /,,/Cheers!Slash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 How long will it take Slash to finished the record? Are they not recording the tracks now? Or are they only in the recording stage for a handful of songs and the other ones may be at earlier stages? He says that the new singer could be announced before he's done with the album, so I'm trying to understand how close to done he actually is. Some of you guys may have followed this solo album closer than I have.But from what he said doesn't it kind of sound like they've gone through a bunch of candidates and none of the few they may have really liked worked out, and so now they are back at square one?In any case I'm not too worried about VR's future. These guys tend to jump from one project to the next in quick succession, so when the solo stuff and Loaded is over they will need something to do and that will be VR.

Atleast 2 songs down in a week, so I'd guess it should be done within a month. I'm pretty excited about the upcoming future concerning Slash's solo material and tba live shows and whatever comes from VR. Which I'm sure they're working on while they're doing other things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltrane Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 They are all doing their own thing.Imo VR wont come back until 2010I hope I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 They are all doing their own thing.Imo VR wont come back until 2010I hope I am wrongI hope you are wrong also but I agree with you. They keep looking and do not find what they want. Slash said they thought they were close but it did not work out. According to Duf in a previous interview a few months ago they had gone through 400 tapes. Who would have thought it would be this hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a pic at some awards party or something. Probably the Oscar thing Slash went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn_It_Up Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Seeing how quickly he's laying things down, it only reinforces that if he and Axl ever got into the studio together again, they'd probably kill each other.Gotta love his enthusiasm. Seems genuinely pumped out of his mind about what's been done so far... Edited April 4, 2009 by Turn_It_Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right it is a dumb name though. I am also wondering what gig? I checked his myspace and there is nothing about it there either. And nothing on any of the other sites. It might be a private gig.
