Are they looking for someone with talent? Because that would go against the flow of the band.

Those idiots. If they joined forces with Neil Diamond they would rule the world...

...the entire world.

Okay. I'll do it.

I've always been of the opinion that if the lead singer leaves a band, the band should change its name.

So you are saying slash has no talent? You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

I wonder if this is an attempt to scam song ideas out of sucker fans like Limp Bizkit did when they "auditioned" for a new guitarist in a similar way.

 
lithappens 2008-04-20 11:03:43 AM  
Pff, that's the lazy way to do it! They need to get on YouTube and search for a lead singer that way! Hey, it worked for Journey.

Some of the members of Guns N Roses formed a band with Scott Weiland (the singer from the Stone Temple Pilots).

They sucked.

Axl?

 
mavrick45 2008-04-20 11:42:44 AM  
I admit
Their first CD farkin rocked

/my own damn opinion.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 11:46:32 AM  
well hell, Anthrax found their new singer by accident through myspace, so anything's possible.

 
mrchowwow 2008-04-20 12:56:38 PM  
Chris Cornell is unemployed. Call him up.

 
AntiProEveryThing 2008-04-20 01:48:36 PM  
Isn't this exactly what they did when they originally formed? If my memory is correct, they were originally courting Mike Patton (prior to Weiland).

What are you 4? The band isnt that old. You polly never heard of them because the hype machine stopped machining once it found out they sucked.

Rock Star Velvet Revolver?

/the previous two seasons were a guilty pleasure

 
xdedd 2008-04-20 05:08:26 PM  
that Vegas show sounds like it would be awesome.

 
monkeymaker 2008-04-20 07:33:14 PM  
I hope they can convince Wayne Newton to get onstage in Vegas - maybe sing "Set Me Free"!!

Contraband is one of the best albums of the decade. I'll take it over flaming Zach Braff Starbucks indie crap any day.

It's a shame John Bush won't be returning.

I would laugh so hard if they picked Axl. So hard.

No kidding! I mean, it isn't like changing singers helped these guys at all....

Buckethead would haul slash anyday, not saying that slash has no talent Buckethead just has more.

"i foresee a 3rd season of "Rock Star" in the near future"

Nah, Marty Casey (the runner-up from season 1) would be a great fit. The only hard part of that is prying him away from his talentless band/friends the Lovehammers.

 
amindtat 2008-04-21 02:56:52 PM  
How about Whitfield Crane from Ugly Kid Joe? I'm sure he's looking for a job and his style of singing could fit in with the band.

You're talking about the guy with a chicken bucket on his head, right? Talent can't be measured. Let's count how many famous riffs each has written.

Slash - at least 3 off the first Guns n Roses album.
Buckethead - ?

 
FrancoFile 2008-04-22 11:22:44 AM  
I hear that Steel Dragon is looking for new talent too.
