Has there been another case where the firing of a singer led to such excitement? Ok, maybe the end of Van Hagar, but that was a “welcome back” thing, and the reaction was nothing like the way Weiland’s departure from Velvet Revolver seems to have loosened the world’s sphincter a tad. Or at least Slash’s. “Everybody’s just very relieved,” says Slash. “I know everybody is tying the STP [reunion tour] thing to it, but it started way before that. We just had a lot of commitments to fulfill, so we just had to drag this thing out until the obligations were finished.” But our nightmare is over! So what about his replacement?
“There’s some people, but it’s really premature to start naming names. We actually worked with a guy, I won’t mention his name, before we left to go to the U.K. and there just wasn’t enough to break him in, so we’re gonna work with him again some more, and maybe some other guys as well.”
It’s won’t be Sebastian Bach, though. “I thought [Weiland] could be a little bit more imaginative. I’m not sure if that was meant to be a pot shot or what. Whatever, it’s not worth any real drama.” Yes it is, Slash! Kick his Big Bang Baby ass! We came for blood.

It’s going to be the guy from The Darkness. Just you watch.
I was really holding out hope for a ROCK STAR 3.
My money is actually on Jerry Cantrell.

@loudersoft: For a second I thought, “But he’s dead…oh wait, the other one.”
@The Notorious T: My god, that would be heaven on earth.
Oh wait they reformed Alice In Chains. Nevermind.
Maybe they’ll steal the new AIC lead singer, William DuVall….*drama bomb*
Chris Cornell
I think it might be someone random, like the Terminator’s brother who used to be in NIN. You know who I’m talking about.
Richard Patrick!
This is a job for DIO!
C’mon *insiders* spill it! If they have already jammed with a mystery singer, someone has to know about it!
If it’s Axl (it’s not), the world will explode and peace will spread to every corner of it, but only just before. My money, all of it, is on Christopher “Fucking” Cross.
Patrick Stump.
Zach De La Rocha?
Amy Winehouse and the Velvet Revolvers?
Ozzy?
