iceman51999 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Stockdale can hit all the high notes with a growl of zepplin and a mixture of AXL. I think it would be the perfect scenario , Early on VR was talking about a singer from Australia , I think Stockdale would make this band back to being a monster band, his vocals fit Slash's style perfect !

jmapelian Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The biggest potential issue with stockdale is he may be a bit of a diva - I only say that because both incarnations of wolfmother quit on him - though slash did work w him on his solo album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 No, no he's not. He can kind of only sing one way, and I've never understood why everything thinks he's so good. He's fine, but if he were really good, Wolfmother would be a bigger deal than they are. The guy has an interesting voice, that kind of always sounds the same, and aside from that he's not some incredible songwriter or performer.

Johnny Drama Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 He ain't Axl. He's more Ozzy with Plant's range. He only had one good album in the first Wolfmother album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Might as well be MK, they both have really annoying voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 He's got a good voice, but he cannot make it to a single lineup on wolfmother, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Really love By The Sword. Love to hear more of him and Slash together. But I don't know if he has the versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 By The Sword was really cool but he's kinda boring to me as a frontman. Also, I'm not sure I could stand his voice for more then one or two songs on an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) He ain't Axl. Not the slightest fraction of a factor with VR. Edited September 10, 2013 by moreblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I can't say I like the idea of Stockdale in the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Andrew is THE best new frontma in rock music. He's MK plus a shitload of criativity, perhaps moreso than Slash has been showing since VR. Plus his voice is amazing. He'd be better than Scott, IMO. Too bad he's probably a pain in the ass, considering Wolfmother can't keep a steady line-up for two tours straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hmm, random thought just came to mind. Julian Casablancas fronting VR sure would be interesting. It'd never happen, but the GN'R guys showed up in their Somedays video, and they owe a lot of their early career path to the same game play as GN'R (great, popular debut album, diva frontman, trouble following up on its success, rumours of inner band tension, etc.).

GivenToFly Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Really love By The Sword. Love to hear more of him and Slash together. But I don't know if he has the versatility.I thought the same about Myles Kennedy based on Starlight and Back To Cali but then they did a whole album together and it turned out kind of bland. Where it was good it was good despite not because of Myles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 VR without Scott isn't VR. It's like what STP is trying to do. Idk what it is, but it sure as fuck isn't Stone Temple Pilots. You can't just replace the voice of a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonegunner Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 they should have chosen Gord Prior... his demos with them were pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmapelian Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The remaining members of stp trashed scott in a recent interview saying they couldn't do their songs justice because his voice was pretty much shot so he had to go. From the reviews of their shows w chester, I don't think people mind either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepsun Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I used to like Myles, but he no longer does anything for me... there's no 'rockstar' in him.I think Stockdale is brilliant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11dayempire Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 A while back I would've said Chester Bennington was the man for VR – he sings with passion (unlike Myles), he's got a similar vibe to Weiland (well, obviously, or STP wouldn't have hired him), and he can hit the high notes in the old GN'R tracks, unlike Scott. But his stint with STP has nixed that – I can't see him wanting to become Scott Weiland's non-union Mexican equivalent.The obvious choice for me now is Jeff Angell from Walking Papers – he's got a similar vocal range to Scott, albeit more gravelly, he's got the same sexy-cool vibe, he writes bluesy songs that you could easily picture Slash noodling over. And, crucially, he's got a good turn of phrase when it comes to lyrics – vastly better than Myles' "Starlight is bright tonight" guff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
