Velvet Revolver Eye New Singer?

The band may have found their man

Published 11th Oct 2011

In a new interview with OC Weekly Duff McKagan revealed that the band may write a few songs with an as yet unnamed singer.

He said:

"Slash and I played in New York a couple weeks ago and Matt Sorum was there. There was a singer there we might write some songs with. None of us have really tried to find anyone in the last few years. We've all been busy with other things. I think once that whole thing went down with Scott Weiland, we thought we'd find a guy right away. Once a few months went by, it was like, "Oh f**k."

"We didn't give up on the band but you can't force a singer into a situation. It's got to just kind of happen. So playing a few weeks ago with that singer, it seemed really natural. So we'll see. I'll come back to you on that."

AntiMusic speculate that the singer in question is Ours frontman Jimmy Gnecco who played three songs with Sorum, Slash and McKagan at the recent Road Recovery concert.
