Re: Velvet Revolver Still Mulling New Frontman
If you had to make a definitive collection of the 80s to represent that decade, even if only one disc, Billy Idol makes the cut.
Definitely. I made an 80's Mix a couple years ago. It's 40 songs, not including the likes of GN'R, Metallica, U2, or Michael Jackson. Mostly one-hit wonders like Aha's "Take On Me." I have Billy Idol on there twice with "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell."

I always secretly hoped that Whit Crane of Ugly Kid Joe fame would have been considered as a choice...the guys vocal range is amazing...
I would be open for him as well, he rocks.

I hope After the Fire's Der Kommissar made it on that disc. No 80s collection is complete without it.

Re: Velvet Revolver Still Mulling New Frontman
I guess this is as close as we'll get to seeing John Corabi front VR:
John Corabi sings "Slither" with Dave Kushner on guitar with Monster Circus...
Slither
The tempo is too slow, but John sounded pretty good here. No worse than Scott, that's for sure.
And I still think he should be their frontman too. He's got the right amount of grit and balls in his voice, which is just what VR need - a kickass hard rock vocalist.
