VR and singer 'Dating'....

[Five Star Edge]

VR seems unwilling to rely on their own music for live shows, I assume with the new singer they will still resort to playing old hits from their previous bands.  If they want to be taken seriously as a band, they really need to focus on the new music they produce and not just play a bunch of covers.

My question would be - does he write much? I genuinely don't know.

I'm pretty sure he writes most of the Slipknot/Stone Sour material as far as lyrics go. Not quite sure about the music though.

Thanks for the info. They need someone with a melodic/harmonic gift or there's no point imo - which probably means there's no point.

Who honestly cares anymore?

Who honestly cares anymore?

My thoughts exactly.

I highly doubt any new material will be anything better than mediocre.

[Aylin]

Yeah but it's fun to see Matt Sorum have a progressive nervous breakdown..

I care very much about this!  I think that they can still be a great band.  Im just sick of hearing that an announcement is coming and nothing happens.  But i am excited to hear the new velvet revolver... If it ever happens

[Unglued812]

I just hope i can embrace the new velvet revolver in the same way i did with the new GNR...

In a recent interview, Corey Taylor made the rumor that it's him stronger

When asked about the status of the VELVET REVOLVER singer search, Sorum told Frankie DiVita, "Unfortunately, I don't make all the decisions... I wish I did. The problem is I've got partners, and we haven't come to a conclusive decision yet . . . I think what happened was my expectations got a little high. I dig the guy — that's all I can say — so I'll take myself off the list of the guys not deciding . . . I have to wait for everybody to say, 'Let's do this.' And I can't be the guy to stick myself out there, which I did by saying, 'I thought we were gonna make a decision.' And when you listen to Slash, he said, 'We'll make a decision one way or another' — whatever that means."
