Scott Weiland is one of the best rock singers out there, he just can’t leave the junk alone, it’s sad to see what he’s done to himself.

as for his replacement, I’d nominate Lindsay Lohan, she’ll take them far…

I guess I’m one out of the 3 or 4 fools.

Alice In Chains already have a replacement for Layne Staley. No idea if he’s decent, though:

With Chris Cornell out of Audioslave, I wouldn’t be surprised if you see a Soundgarden reunion at some point soon.

LaToya Jackson would be my choice.

Does this STP reunion mean a grunge revival is in the works? Now we need to reunite Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and find a decent replacement for Kurt Cobain and Layne Stayley(RIP).

Axl’s range is nothing like Axl’s used to be. Not that it matters since it seems no one will ever hear a recording of him singing again (hallelujah).

Last thing I heard this before reading your article was that Scott Weiland had announced on stage during a Velvet Revolver gig that he was leaving the band. I wasn’t aware of any wavering on his part, but good for them for making it official. Weiland’s vocal range (if you can call it that) is nothing like Axl’s used to be and I personally never understood why they got him in the first place, aside from the obvious potential for publicity his ‘antics’ would bring.

I really hope they get someone decent in to replace him. Seb Bach from Skid Row would be my choice.

Britney Spears as a lead singer could only up the artistic credibility of such a flagrant cash grab of a band as Velvet Revolver.
