EvanG Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I never understood why Velvet Revolver never asked one of the two Snakepit singers to join seeing as they had so much trouble finding a singer in the first place. They are both way better than Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both way better than Scott. All I can think is it must be a rare thing to find a singer that ticks all the musical and performance boxes plus gels with everyone in the right way. Even though I think Rod Jackson was one of the best vocalists Slash worked with (besides Chris Cornell and Andrew Stockdale), I always got the impression from watching the live performances that they never had much personal chemistry. So maybe it was a case of when he parted ways with his singers, everyone just knew that was the end of it. I think Scott was a sensational vocalist, but obviously a lot of trouble to work with. Thanks Sid, for posting that! Really interesting. Slash sounded annoyed the entire time with the technology glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was clean they might've been able to achieve some success but no where near the level they did with Scott. i won't even comment on Backup singer Dover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because VR was an ambitious project and they wanted to do something relevant and successful, so they opted for an established name/singer with personality; also Scott was someone who could add a different, more "modern" element to their sound. But I don't think the Snakepit singers were better. Rod Jackson was different, and, as for Eric Dover, I don't like him at all.

EvH Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Too bad the whole Snakepit mk II line up and period was a total drugged out mess because Slash hasn't made music as good as this since then. Seriously, Just Like Anything, Serial Killer, The Alien, Rusted Heroes, Ain't Life Grand. Killer tracks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I don't know about their personal stuff, maybe Slash had his reasons not to work with them again. And this is subjective again, I guess, but come on... not saying Scott isn't a good singer but he was not nearly as good of a rock singer as Eric and Rod.

soon Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It's always stood out to me and its touched on in this interview too. Slash talks about playing basic, down and dirty rock with out electronic touches. However, Ain't Life Grand not only has electronic touches; its also really experimental. It has rap. It has character songs with movie style productions to create 'scenery.' Whats up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like saying the Snakepit guys are better singers than Elvis and Jim Morrison. Ask 10,000 people who grew up in the 90s who the better singer is Scott or The Snakepit guys and 9,990 will say Scott. Actually few would even know what we are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash has stated multiple times over the years that experimentation wasn't why he left. He left because of his beef with Management, record label, Axl, Tobias etc. He says it in this very interview where they are stoned beyond belief. Now in 2017 a more mature Slash will tell you Axl Management, especially Doug Goldstein, was the main culprit in trying to divide and conquer what was left of GNR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like Rod and Eric's voice more than Scott's, they have more a rock voice and Rod even has a lot of soul, he'd be my favourite out of the three of them. But if you go to a singing teacher and asked them objectively who the better singer is, Rod or Scott, I'm sure they will pick Rod. It's like the Axl-Freddie thread, you can't argue about who you prefer, but it's obvious Freddie had technically a 'better' singing voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Also 2017 mature Slash is more fiscally conscious and less concerned with his musical integrity. So he lets Axl & his current management dictate as long as the shipments of loot keep pouring in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singing Rock N' Roll and even pop music is the devil to them. Sing to them with rasp and they will immediately call paramedics. The proper way to sing is more like Opera. Everything else is subjective and personal taste. If you played Back to the moment andYGNR/Wonderful to a voice instructor and forced them to pick one. They would surely go with Scott.

First, I said rap. Not rasp. Rap is experimenting. But mostly, I need to point out how I never said anything about why Slash left GnR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're a big fan of most of SLASH's previous work as am I. Like a lot of CD's back then, the Japanese version contained a few bonus tracks. I worked in a music store til '99 and used to collect stuff like this. The import also contained "Rusted Heroes" and a couple others.
