well that was unexpected

I had their album, but the only song I can remember is “In The Meantime”. I love that song, but strange choice if it happens.

VERY unexpected. I remember the first time I heard about this band was from a friend of mine from high school who is also a big GnR fan and told me that “In the Meantime” reminded him of GnR. This guy has absolutely ZERO story appeal, though. How much of a buzz on the street can you get when the best possible response from a press release would be “Oh yeah, I guess I remember that song.”

Yeah. I think it would be cool if Chris Cornell took the job. Would be great to see him w/ Slash to see what they could do. Also you could definitely get better press responses from that of course

No, this is not unexpected. It’s another Evans Blue scenario. Evans Blue wants to discorporate Matisyn. Velvet Revolver wants to discorporate Scott Weiland who recently rejoined Stone Temple Pilots in their reunion tour which both Eric Kretz and Scott Weiland are being sued “in June 2008, Atlantic Records filed a lawsuit for trying to end their contract to the label early (the DeLeo brothers had been released from their contract in late 2003). While the band has fulfilled its six-album obligation to the label, Atlantic stated in its suit that it wants Stone Temple Pilots to record another album, in addition to two more albums if the label decides to release the records”. Atlantic Records are weird.

No, Chris Cornell would and will not take the job as being the next Velver Revolver frontman. He’s in the process of another solo record outing as Audioslave is said and done. Don’t even ask if anyone in the reunited Rage Against the Machine camp if they would suit for the frontman job. The remainder, as Slash is ringleader, were in GNR!

I loved reading the mag “Entertainment Weekly” back in the nineties. I remember the song, In the Meantime, still gets airplay to this day. That is Spacehog, which I read, that they’ve been reunited to do another record. No word on a release date. So Royston Langdon being considered to replace Scott Weiland is a good choice to me as that might give space and time if Spacehog gets its saddle back on track through 2009 to 2010. Really good news to hear Spacehog are back in the saddle.

Time for some good news to come out when it comes out!

I don’t understand your argument on why this is unexpected one bit

how could reviving a singer from the 90s who had one hit into a band to follow in Scott Weiland’s footsteps not be unexpected haha

I’d wanna see Cornell work with VR. Because then they’d get Missy Elliot to produce and they’re all grow super huge lips, get fat, become talentless, but it’d be the best thing ever and would tear up top 40 and the rap charts.

Well, that’s just Elliot herself.

But still…it’d be funny to see VR get a ghetto make over. Slash would start playing guitar like the guy from the first Crazy Town album (R.I.P. - the guitarist, not the band), and Cornell would sing about butterflies and…well, not that anyone cared about anything else they sang about.

Or maybe they’ll just cover “You Are Not Alone” and Cornell will break down and cry every time they play it live?

What goes around comes around. What I read is not unexpected news one bit. It’s like the situation in Alice in Chains: Cantrell wanted mainstream and the late Staley wanted the seamy underground. A choice is a choice. You will get notice in someway.

Major label politics and I’ve never liked what’s like to be in a supergroup, let alone be pressured by a major label to crank what’s known as hit songs that touch people’s nerves, positive or negative.

I swear, as I’ve read on wikipedia, Spacehog are reunited. You don’t believe me?
Go read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacehog.

Another piece I’m knowing when tending to disagree the lead vocalist is perfectionism and that’s in Slash. He leans what he leans and if you’re hesitant as Scott Weiland’s behavior proves, well, you’re doing auditions that leads to digging in the earth like finding Spacehog front-man Royston Langdon isn’t proving to find not in the chemistry that it’s involved, but something deeper than that. I know it after Scott Weiland is said “not to be committed” and it all has to do with Slash’s musical tastebuds go back with GNR with none other than Axl Rose.

“Get with the highway or it’s bullshit and I’ll move things forward.” That is my interpretation of Slash and his musical talent on guitar, not much on voice, but guitar virtuoso.

I have a headache now. Random words strung together. Incoherent nonsense.

Incoherent nonsense?

Slash = control freak. Hair metal is back in the heyday. But Slash needs an outlet for being such a guitar virtuoso.

Velvet Revolver is Velvet Revolver, whether it had Scott Weiland, is irrelevant to me. This is like the Alice in Chains scenario. If mainstream is in the wings for Slash, that’s HIS fancy.

Is Slash going incognito? Well, depends on the situation, like in GNR. Is what’s left of grunge going incognito? Chris Cornell, in a matter of fact, yes.
