Velvet Revolver find new singer?

Velvet Revolver may well be one step closer to finding a new vocalist after the band performed a series of songs live with a new singer.

The group - featuring ex-Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan - have been auditioning possible vocalists since the departure of Scott Weiland in 2008.

However, a few weeks ago the band performed a number of songs together in New York - including single Slither - with Jimmy Gnecco, vocalist with band Ours.

Speaking to Noisecreep, bassist Duff stated: "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, we thought we'd find a guy right away. Once a few months went by, it was like, 'Oh fuck'."

The band performing 'Slither' with Jimmy.

Ours are a great band! Think Jimmy would be a great fit for VR. :)

If VR wants to be heavier, I'd look past Gnecco. good singer but too thin vocally.
VR needs a powerhouse to blow their earlier stuff out of the water...
