Jesus, just hire Chester Bennington. How hard can it be?

That could be interesting.

Hire the best Axl impersonator and just do your own GNR tour.

That's pretty much what he's doing now.

Personally and I know there are a lot who will disagree... but.

I'd like to see Pat Monahan in VR

Decent Train song:

He's got the vocal chops and the mainstream sensibility.
The purists wouldn't be happy, but purists never are.

I saw him sing at some baseball event (maybe the all-star game last year?) and he was absolutely horrible live.

We all have bad days. Generally he's on point live.

Sort of - he does play the GNR hits live...

But he's also put out 2 albums in 3 years of new material.

So it's not exactly a covers project either.

I think Duff/Matt really fucked up by letting this happen though. Like VR doing what slash does now would have been even more impressive. Given the way the media treated them as GNR at first too, really could have started to give Axl a run for his money.
