Think you got what it takes to replace Scott Weiland? Velvet Revolver are ready to find out. An in-the-works Web site will reportedly enable the band to audition singers via the Internet. Weiland, as previously reported, was fired from the band on April Fool's Day and continues to trade (nasty) remarks with his former bandmates.
In an interview with Billboard, lead guitarist Slash gave out the information: "The band is actually talking about ... building a Web site [and] doing some auditions via that, so that's been something that's developing at this point." Slash mentioned that it should happen "in the next month or so."
Although not mentioning anyone in particular, Slash added, "We're at that point of just listening to different things ... it's one of those kind of situations where you can't really explain it to anybody because you'll know it when you hear it."
Velvet Revolver have a previously booked gig in
As previously reported, Scott Weiland has reunited with Stone Temple Pilots and recently announced a tour of North American for this summer.

he was like a second axl in the diva sense
but no one can argue about his voice,
it was just so unique, that's kinda why i liked velvet revolver
the whole unique-ness that they had- and the obsession i have
with slash, kinda helps too

I've been lucky enough to see VR perform twice now, and now that they've disbanded... I say bring AXL back! :)
Yeah, i spend most of my days wishing i was born in the 80's,
*Sigh*
i am an 80's child at heart,
if not, then a Vampire* child at heart
gaaah i jsut cant belive that if axl ever releases a G n R album again
itll be without slash
YOU CANT HAVE G n R WITHOUT SLASH.
you just cant!
*headdesk*

oh no i didnt mean that i didnt liek matt,
jesus- the guys a fukin GENIOUS with drums
*drool*
but it would be nice to see Steven back in a band
I think it's kind of cool, that someone non-famous, could possibly end up singing with VR. I have a few friends I'd like to nominate! :)
