July 28, 2010, 14 years ago
AOL's Noisecreep has issued a new interview with SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES). The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Jon Wiederhorn:
Q: After you get back from Australia, you're launching a US tour in September. Will Myles Kennedy be doing all the vocal parts for you?
A: "He's been great. He's got a great voice. He's one of the most fantastic rock singers and he's a great guy. It's a lot of fun to tour with him. The band sounds amazing."
Q: Any chance he'll become the next singer for Velvet Revolver?
A: "No, he's already got a band, ALTER BRIDGE, and he's not leaving. We offered him to sing in Velvet a year ago, but he turned it down then. So we're still looking for a singer. As soon as we establish the singer, we'll be able to set the time to actually go in and start working on the record. We've held a bunch of auditions, we just haven't found the right guy yet. We stopped for the tour, but we've been listening to demos from different singers. But right now I can't say there's someone who we're leaning towards. We haven't found that guy yet."
Q: Have you written songs for the next Velvet Revolver album?
A: "When we came back off the tour after Scott (Weiland) left we came back in and wrote half a dozen or more really cool songs. It's really heavy stuff and I think it could be the best Velvet Revolver album yet."
