Slash: 'Velvet Revolver Don't Want To Pick Another Scott Weiland'

Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has aforesaid that band's search for a raw singer is still ongoing because they don't want to find oneself another Scott Weiland.


A issue of singers, including Spacehog's Royston Langdon and Lenny Kravitz, have been linked with the position since Weiland left the group acrimoniously in April.


But Slash said that while he and the rest of the band had clicked with Langdon they in agreement that his voice was too much like Weiland's to case the group's new ambition.


"I think Royston's fantastic, simply he's more in the Scott Weiland range, which is groovy for that, but what we want to do is something aggressive and very hard rock,� he told EW.


�Basically, what we in the beginning planned to do the first time around that was sort of molded differently when Scott came into it."


Slash added that the search "is still on-going. Now that we have the option, we're gonna make sure we get the right-hand guy."
