Found this on Wikipedia -
'In a recent online interview Sorum revealed that the band is in negotiations with a "Big Name Singer", no names were released yet on who the singer might be.'

Do people have any idea or well-educated guesses?
Crowd: "UUUUUKKK!"
Eddie: "I see you've acknowledged the Ukulele"
Crowd: "UUUUUUUUKKKKK!!!"
Eddie: "Too bad this is a mandolin you uncultured bastards"

    Chris Cornell...hahah that would just.... no.

    Serj Tankian? I could see that maybe, if they took a less sleazy direction.

    Am I the only one who thinks that VR was better than the new "G&R" will ever be? I mean that's not even guns n roses, VR was more guns n roses than the shit Axl is trying to pull, and this new album sounds like shit.

    Who cares about Velvet Revolver. VR is a money making machine, not a music machine. They don't care about you or the music. They care about one thing, and that is money.

    LOL where did you pull that from? I don't think they've ever done anything that would make them seem like that.

    VR is miles ahead of the new GNR. They put out 2 albums and kicked ass. Were amazing live. New singer, Dunno who it would be.

    Eh I dunno, he hasn't been the same since he had surgery in 2003. I thought he was awesome before that though.

    EDIT: Actually, he did some shows with Camp Freddy which I think some of the VR guys are apart of, so it's a possibility.

    Patton is so over that style. It would be a huge step back for him.

    That ex-fuel guy sounds about right for the job though.

    They asked Patton the first time round. I believe he laughed at them.

    It's true.

    i would love to see Patton do a normal rock band again though. just not VR. They are a one trick pony.

    VR is 10x better than any of the crap that Mike Patton has had a hand in creating. VR should be done for. Either they will name a replacement, sooner than later, or the semi-original GnR will get back together.

    To Patton fans: He's a fine singer, I just don't dig his style. And those crazy stupid noises, he makes, that his fans view as genius.........well, I bet when you heard the dude from Disturbed do it you mocked him.

    VR, a one trick pony? How can a band have huge success with 2 different bands and be a one trick pony. If the members of VR are a one trick pony, then every rock band in history is.

    They didn't ask him to join they asked to audition for them, that's even more ridiculous.

    Except Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, and Peeping Tom

    But otherwise, yeah....totally better.

    Did you really just compare Patton's avant-garde albums to one guy saying "Ooo ah ah ah" 1 time?

    VR, a one trick pony? How can a band have huge success with 2 different bands and be a one trick pony.

    Because all the songs sound the same.

    You just answered your own question by calling "1 band"....."2 bands"
    If the members of VR are a one trick pony, then every rock band in history is.

    Once again, 1 band = 2 bands

    Hence the members = 1 trick pony

    Thank you for making my point for me.

    I mistakenly left out the Korn mention, as well. Still, just b/c it's different, or it sucks, doesn't make it avant garde.

    Slither, Fall to Pieces, Loving the Alien, Set Me Free sound quite a bit different and they don't really sound like anything you would hear on a GnR album. Even so, they're a mainstream rock band. If they are a one trick pony, so is everything you've ever heard on the radio.

    Mike Patton is successful b/c of Epic and he has made a few good, hip(avant garde) friends in the business. Those fuckin jungle noises he makes are crap. It's not music, and from what I have seen of it, it doesnt take talent. Like I said, he is a fine singer, he's just not as good as most of his fans, apparently, think he is.
