jmapelian Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think Taylor momsen or lzzy hale would be great for them as well as Andrew Stockdale; but vr wouldn't be there only gigs. Maybe slash should get off that requirement and make VR everybody's side project, rather than main project. I'd say Myles myself but if he wanted it, I'm pretty sure he'd be doing it by now.

IRanOutOfIdeas Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I really don't see VR reuniting unless it's with Scott because anything else just makes them look like a bland caricature of what they once were. If he wants to do another project, just name it something else. A lot of the singers people have mentioned in this thread would be cool and viable choices for another band.

Anguyen92 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) With all this talk about if Slash/Duff/Matt wants to fire up VR, they should start another project with a new name begs the question. Has there been a time where the same musicians (plural) were in three different bands? Ok, maybe Slash/Duff/Matt already with GNR, VR, and Kings of Chaos.

Free Bird Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The difference between Contraband and Libertad is Scott. The Songs on Contraband were already done. All Scott had to do is to pick some tunes and write the lyrics for them.It's a hole other procedure to Libertad where he helped create the songs. Extremely different style, so I think it was his impact that didn't work well on VRs second album and a new singer could take them to another level. I'd prever a more old school singer, not someone like Corey Taylor. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'd rather see Slash team with Rod Jackson again. I think he's clean now. Ain't Life Grand is Slash's best work post-GNR.Rod is far more the best singer that Slash work with after Axl, ofc.A John Corabi fronted VR would be cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The reason why VR were so much more exciting than anything Slash has done by himself is because you had that unpredictable frontman/guitar God dynamic, which is what made GNR so special. For some reason with VR it only really worked on the first record.... but at least Scott has a personality. Myles Kennedy doesn't. I gotta agree.Axl Rose, Eric Dover, Rod Jackson, Scott Weiland. All of them had personality, some more than others but they all worked as frontmen. Myles is just an incredibly good and talented singer but he's pretty much dead on stage.

Apollo Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Lzzy Hale would be brilliant. She's hot too.She is pretty great. But do we really want Slash involved with breaking up another band? Hopefully Lizzy is loyal to her current band!I've never liked Scott's voice. STP and VR was always very boring to me. (Just my own personal musical preference).I'd like to see the band pick some young new up-and-coming singer and not just pick up a retreat that we've already heard in multiple bands.Look at LA Guns. How many lead singers has that band had? Your singer's voice really determines the sound of your band.....I'd rather they get somebody fresh than grabbing an old veteran who has a defined sound. Go along with the same philosophy of why they didn't pick Sebastian Bach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a singer like lzzy wouldn't be forced to ditch Halestorm. Because I don't think she's quiting on her baby bro, who is a very entertaining live drummer in his own right.

Modano09 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Slash wanting his personal singer to be the lead singer for VR would be the type of thing he'd throw a fit over if Axl did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teroz Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well why not I guess, but I have never been a fan. Actually I liked Slash solo gig more than the VR one I saw. But good luck, but of course Duff should be with Axl 24/7/365. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Myles suits Slash solo because he doesn't take light off Slash. But for VR it has to be Scott, otherwise call it something else. 3rd Time Lucky maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Velvet Revolver is dead. They didn't do enough the first time around to warrant a come back, especially with a different singer. If Duff, Matt, and whomever else want to play with Slash, then they might as well just be in his solo band. I just don't see the point of bringing in a new singer to cover old vr songs, gnr songs, and probably Slash's solo songs. This doesn't sound rediculous to anyone else? I know I'm a broken record but it's really time for a gnr reunion. It's the ONLY thing left for ALL parties, Slash included...I've talked a lot about how I feel CD 2 would be inferior to TSI, and as a gnr fan I would rather not get new music, than get new music that just isn't very good. Well IMO Contraband is the only thing Slash has done post gnr that (might) be better than TSI. But I'd really have to contrast and compare the two to give my honest assesment. I'm being serious here, I know many of you are hard core Slash solo fans, but each release seems to be getting worse and worse. Contraband was pretty good, Libertad was well... The Slash album was decent, his last album was lackluster, what are your expectaions from his next album? Border line generic rock I would guess. I just feel very strongly that both Axl and Slash are in the same boat, they are quickly becoming very average without each other. At least with each other, there might be hope that they can do something good, because a part they are just laying turds. BOTH OF THEM....

gmsugaree Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Velvet Revolver really were not good, IMHO. There was just no chemistry in that band. Yeah it was a thrill to see Slash and Duff on stage again for that first tour, but it wore off quick. And the albums even worse than the live show.

Russel Nash Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Contraband is a great record, Slash contribution in there has to be the best since guns.Libertad is pure shit. Scott is great, without Scott there's no VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a thrill to see Slash and Duff on stage again for that first tour, but it wore off quick. And the albums even worse than the live show.Can you explain what you mean by "no chemistry"? Not just in terms of VR, but just what you mean by that and how it effects the music.I've got thousands of songs on my Ipod and I have no idea what kind of chemistry the band members had with each other. Personally, I couldn't care less if band members were lovers or if they hated each other. Are Civil War and Estranged "bad" songs because GnR was mainly feuding as a band at the time they were recorded?And why do you think that VR "really were not good." Their first album outsold and out performed Chinese Democracy. Sold more copies, critically acclaimed, won a grammy. I personally didn't like the band, didn't care for their sound at all. But they were obviously good enough to sell millions of records, win awards and entertain millions of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
