As long as Lenny's guitar-wanking doesn't stomp over Slash.
Kravitz doesn't quite seem like a "team guy" kinda musician, though.

/eh, I'd give it a listen.

They didn't already?

What happened to Royston Langdon?

Lenny Kravtiz music writing ability is comprised of:

I have one guitar rift. If I just repeat the same rift for 4 minutes I have a whole song!!!!

Don't know how he got so popular. However with the rest of the band actually writing the songs for him, it may work out.

Well now we ought to be hearing Velvet Revolver songs on car commercials almost as soon as they're released.

Do they play GnR songs at their gigs? That would be weird. I guess it would be weird with Weiland too.

I'm good with this.. i like Lenny.

Corvus: Don't know how he got so popular.

Put Mila Jovovich in your music videos.

Hey, there's going to be two half black/half jews in the band now. Someone tell Adam Sandler.

Well, that pretty much does it for me and Velvet Revolver.

/sorry, Slash.
//would still hit Mr. Kravitz, but musically speaking? do not want.

Corvus

His guitar has an opening made by splitting, cleaving, etc.?

/it's riff

The Stealth Hippopotamus: Corvus: Don't know how he got so popular.

Or Mena Suvari. That works too.

In defense of Mr. Kravitz, his last album wasn't all that bad. His earlier stuff is pretty killer too, but he had a good 10 year stretch of pure suckage that peaked with that "all of my life" song and that "American Woman" remake that gets old 15 seconds into the song. Heather Graham looked fkn blasting hot in the video though!

I'll wait until it's officially announced. Last week it was the dude from Spacehog ...

Velvet Revolver sucks.

Mugato: Do they play GnR songs at their gigs? That would be weird. I guess it would be weird with Weiland too.

I was flipping between a live show of theirs on tv and the olympics a couple of days ago and they played used to love her. They finished it off with sex type thing.

I echo the do not want as far as lenny kravitz is concerned. I don't have any hate for lenny kravitz but definitely don't want to listen to him and definitely don't want him in velvet revolver. I hadn't heard Royston Langdon was being considered but that would be a lot better in my opinion, and possibly awesome.

/suck it capitalization!

will Cindy Blackman be on the drums?

What the hell is Corey Glover doing that he doesn't get offered these gigs?

I have not been able to tolerate Lenny Kravitz since he ripped off Style Council's "You're the Best Thing" for his excreble "It Ain't Over Till It's Over".

/Couldn't tolerate him before that either, actually
//Described quite aptly as "the Identi-Kit rocker" by Mojo magazine

His concerts are pretty good an are complete chickfests. You might not dig his music but the number of cute gals at a Lenny Kravitz show is off the charts.

/Even better guy to gal ratio than a Dave Matthews Band concert
//Go for the music, stay for the scenery

Lemme get this straight... Axl was too difficult to work with, so they chose Weiland after years of searching.

And now they've figured out that switching one asshole for another wasn't the grandest of plans, so they're going with... a noted solo artist who will probably bail out of the project after a week?

Go with an unknown who has the right sound. How the hell is Kravitz going to cover older VR stuff? That's almost as bad as Weiland raping GNR tunes.

Corvus: Lenny Kravtiz music writing ability is comprised of: I have one guitar rift. If I just repeat the same rift for 4 minutes I have a whole song!!!!

Don't know how he got so popular.

Lenny's never been what you call a trailblazer, but as a musical craftsman? Guy's a farking genius.

Smoking rifts and all.

I bet they sell more iPods and cell phones than they do CD's.

I'd still rather see Guns 'N Ringers.

They should get Izzy Stradlin to do some extra guitar work.. and then maybe get that Axl Rose guy, he's not doin much of anything lately .. That'd make an awesome sound, wouldn't you think?

I hope he takes over the writing duties for the band. Has anyone else ever written anything half as moving as this?

Fly Away lyrics
Lenny Karvitz

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours

Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

I got to get away
Feel I got to get away
Oh oh oh yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
Oh Yeah !

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away [X4]
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away

I want to get away [X4]
Yeah

I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Could it be that they have found yet more words to rhyme with "fly?"
Lenny's A A A A A A A A A rhyme scheme is something other than else.

I predict a very Sammy Hagar/Van Halenesque combination where the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

Lenny Kravitx sucks but his recipie for Chicken-fried Gefilte Fish is awesome!

Tenk: Mugato: Do they play GnR songs at their gigs? That would be weird. I guess it would be weird with Weiland too.

mmm...nice.

/lawn, off!

VR sucks, so this can only improve things.

Probably not by much.

Lenny's first album is a classic.

"I Build This Garden For Us" GREAT song.

NOT happy.

Gangway Fathead: What the hell is Corey Glover doing that he doesn't get offered these gigs?

I saw him in Boston this past spring playing Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar. He was pretty damn good.

Velvet Revolver decide to go in a new musical direction and hire Lenny Kravitz to replace Scott Weiland as their new singer. New direction is obviously "make all our songs sound the same Suck"

FTFY

/evs

CarnySaur: Gangway Fathead: What the hell is Corey Glover doing that he doesn't get offered these gigs?

Good? That doesn't begin to describe it. Glove was farking awesome. Even more so being paired with "over the hill and can't sing for shiat" Jesus.

BTW, I don't think this is a case of Weiland being ousted. IIRC, he's touring with STP again.

Corvus: Lenny Kravtiz music writing ability is comprised of:

I have one guitar rift. If I just repeat the same rift for 4 minutes I have a whole song!!!!

So basically, he should've gone with hip-hop?

I've never been able to get into VR and from what I've heard, Kravitz belongs there more than Weiland. Weiland belongs with STP anyway.

CarnySaur:
Judas in Jesus Christ Priest Superstar

Now that'd be a sweet show.

Well he and Slash grew up together so that might have something to do with it.

Whitfield Crane could probably use a steady job.

CarnySaur: Gangway Fathead: What the hell is Corey Glover doing that he doesn't get offered these gigs?

I saw him in Boston this past spring playing Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar. He was pretty damn good.

Well said, dude has got a killer set of pipes on him. I was just listening to Desperate People on the way to work today.


/Lenny Kravitz has sucked ever since Lisa Bonet left him right after his 1st album. At least the daughter got a song named after her.

Corvus: Don't know how he got so popular.

Roxy Roker from The Jefferson's kid.

Corvus have one guitar rift. If I just repeat the same rift for 4 minutes

And so there was a great musical convergence of suck.

I wish all involved would fall down a staircase made of knives into a pit of wolves with sharks for teeth. These brain-dead rock star cartoons are embarrassing reminders of the worst period in rock history, the 90's.

Except for Slash, AFD is the best rock album of my generation

"Two Jews walk into a band..."

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsite mID=102665 and apparently "as told to Rolling Stone Magazine".....


Lenny Kravitz has shot down as false Internet reports that he is set to become the new singer of VELVET REVOLVER. The singer told RollingStone.com, "I know and love the VELVET REVOLVER guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band."


/he loves the guys in VR
//nice research there StarPulse
///I like VR, but Lenny Kravitz is boring

Dr.Knockboots: I'm good with this.. i like Lenny.

You just aren't on board with this mob mentality thing are you...

kblair4
"Two Jews walk into a band..."

one ducks?

Huh?

No, seriously. Huh?!?

Everything I have heard from Lenny has been excruciatingly boring.
