Colossus of Rhodes Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hey Mark,Thanks for this great interview:http://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/04/22/legendary-rock-interview-with-guns-n-roses-insider-and-author-marc-canter/You probably noticed on Hall of Fame gig how awesome they sound together, man, like a clockwork. Also, on “Watch This” and “Baby Can’t Drive”, with first drum beats and a cow bell you can tell, and how well it goes with Slash’s playing style. My questions is this:Do these guys (Slash, Steven and Duff) realize that whatever they do (solo, collaborations, soundtracks etc) the output is at least 3x better if they do it together. I am not talking about GnR reunion and nostalgia act, but the future. What do you think -- why the fuck they don’t play together (not occasionally), but all the time?? What is stopping them, and do they realize it’s a path they chose – solo-solo acts are sort of regression in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Good question Colossus. Why doesn't Slash play with Steven more? Is it because of his drug problem? Perhaps he's unreliable? IDK, but whatever they do, they do it well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Steven still has issues and is not very reliable but your are right Slash with Duff is better then them by there selfs. Maybe some day VR will get back together when they find the right frontman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some day VR will get back together when they find the right frontman.Do you think Slash is still interested in VR, or do you think he enjoys being solo more? Do you know if they are still putting any effort into finding a singer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 VR and Kings of Chaos are it. I suppose Adler's abscence can be attributed to two things. Firstly, his drug issues. Secondly, VR was initiated by Sorum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Glenn Hughes would be a great VR frontman but I just read he's back to working with Jason Bonham on new music. Kings of Chaos sounds like it'll continue to be an ongoing thing in the summers. What about Donovan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padme Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Matt said the Kings of Chaos are going to record an album.Has he said if they are writing songs? KOC has been doing only covers. I don´t think they are gonna make a album with covers only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some day VR will get back together when they find the right frontman.To this day? Well, I know addicts are never really cured, as Ron Wood states in this documentary Tip of the Tongue “you take it one day at the time”, mind you if not for drugs it’s not a bad philosophy.Yes VR with only Duff and Slash and they were that much better then Conspirators and Loaded, with all due respect. Just as well, 3 of them together would beat VR IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotsfired cro Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 or them with Gilby. the sound at RHOF was the sound off the UYI tour (eg WTTJ).Slash, Duff, Gilby n Matt create magic. Izzy and Adler present or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durruti column Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 why is it so difficult to find a new singer for vr ?i think the real reason is that slash, duff and matt don't want to work together for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I would love to see Slash, Izzy, and Duff collaborate more. VR with Izzy's input would have been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR with Izzy's input would have been awesome.Izzy didn´t stay because Slash and Duff wanted a singer in the band. So I don´t see Izzy joining them with another singer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossus of Rhodes Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 My vote goes to Mark Lanegan for Velvet Revolver.Never heard for him before but I like what I hear. This guy is sort of a cross in between Jim Morrison and Tom Waits lol…Perhaps they’re best bet is to find someone like that: prolific, slightly under-appreciated /under radar, about the same age, solo artist… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, he probably wouldn't want the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the rest of the band… Snake-pit, Conspirators whatever. After all, the band consist of people, the rest are the props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
