Talk About Rock Music

There is now even more speculation about Velvet Revolver although the news has died down about them lately with their search for a new singer and front man to replace Scott Weiland.  Apparently, they have been continuing to carry out auditions but pickings have been slim and disappointing.  Bassist for the band, Duff McKagen said in a recent interview that the band have been getting really frustrated with the auditionees who just haven’t been to the standard they are looking for.  More recently, there has been some more positive action and they have seen a couple of possibilities.

“In the last, I would say, about eight weeks, we got three guys in that were all really good — like, far and above, more fitting than the rest. So I can say this much: we’re headed in a very positive direction, and you might be hearing something soon.”

The search has been going on since Weiland’s departure from the band last April, so it is coming up to a year now.  It shows you that the standard that they want for the band will be very high and who can blame them.  Looking at the many years of rock experience that they have collectively under their belt, anyone auditioning for them would surely have to be a little intimidated by them!!
