Well it looks like Velvet Revolver is about to tap Corey Taylor to sing for them. I recall only a few years ago his name being "bandied about" when it came to who'd front Anthrax.

I don't care what anyone says, I don't want him in a band with Slash and Duff. Then again, Velvet Revolver have been pretty shit since the start so why should I care?
I'll stick to my Slash's Snakepit CDs

I don't care what anyone says. If Corey Taylor hadn't been linked to Anthrax, I wouldn't have posted this at all; let alone led it with an "O/T". Sorry to waste anyone's time.

You're not wasting our time, I care about what Slash and Duff do. My band even cover "Slither".
But Corey Taylor, and the songs in VR in general = pish.

I don't have any idea what it would sound like but it's an interesting choice. A smart one too if you ask me. I've been to a few VR shows. There were alot of metalhead types there. Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Metallica, Slipknot etc shirts among the crowds. So having someone with a harder musical past seems logical to me, more so than Weiland.
I liked their first LP to an extent. I was hoping for something much stronger after that. Their follow up was garbage and it's no wonder they dissolved after that.

why would this be wasting time? Its not like Anthrax are doing anything right now.
on a side I kind of vaguely was hoping the Chris Jericho rumor was true. But what I really want is a GnR reunion.

Well, you say a lot of metalheads followed VR, but to me Slipknot aren't metal. They're nu-metal and always will be.
VR, musically, were closer to rock and roll than nu-metal. Even someone whos vocals I love like Bruce or Halford wouldn't fit in VR. Corey Taylor and the rest of Slipknot - nope, not for me. I understand people like them, and I even liked a couple of tracks myself ("Gently" is pretty fucking awesome!) but they and the whole nu-metal genre will always be a joke to me.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. I thought that was a great song, with a killer riff at 3:45. But listening now, I think I may have been full of shit.

I didn't quite say metalheads. I said metalhead types. Which would include myself. I'm not a metalhead by some people's standards because while I enjoy the likes of Slayer, Maiden, Testament etc, I also like Clapton, Zeppelin, the Beatles.
I'm bracing myself for an Internet beating now.

Brace away. I listen to Deicide, Nile, Vader, Burzum, Darkthrone, Maiden - and Jethro Tull are my favourite band with Def leppard and Fairport Convention in there too. I'm in a band that covers Cream, Hendrix, Beatles etc.
I still class myself as a metalhead though.
I haven't sported a denim jacket loaded with patches, long hair, reebok high tops in 20 years.

did this replace the denim patched up jacket?
lols.
I never did the tight jeans/patches on the jacket thing. I was more of a mulleted, Jams (those long shorts) and metal tee shirt kinda guy. My mullet turned into a skater cut in the mid-late nineties.... I miss having hair.

Someone got a Tuff tattoo beside a really badly drawn guy playing a guitar? I assume that's Randy Rhoads - who let a 9 year old loose with needle?!
