New Velvet Revolver singer in place? Probably not
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 November 2010
Kerrang! are busy wondering if Velvet Revolver have finally found their replacement for Scott Weiland to sing words and such like. They note that Slash told them last month he and his bandmates had got it down to two contenders for the frontman role, and that if all went well they might have made an appointment in time for writing and sessions to begin in the studio before the guitarist heads out on tour in January. Now the Slash man has tweeted: “So far so good in the studio! Got a couple brand new riffs, pretty heavy stuff!” So does that mean a new singer is in place? Or perhaps Slash and co are just jamming without a vocalist. Given that just two weeks ago he told Backstage Axxess the search continued and was proving much trickier than hoped, I suspect the latter.
