Re: Pretty good VR show I had never seen
I still maintain they should've got Chester Bennington to front VR. He's got a similar vibe to Weiland – to the extent that Stone Temple Pilots picked him to front the band – but he also has the vocal range to tackle some GN'R classics beyond the lower-register Brownstone, Patience and ISE. And, crucially, he sings with passion – unlike Myles Kennedy, who can hit every note without sounding like he means any of it.
Re: Pretty good VR show I had never seen
I'm sticking with Linda Perry as the ideal vocalist for VR post-weiland, killer voice and excellent songwriting capabilities (but Chester, Corey, etc... all would've been more than good enough to keep the band going and inject some fresh ideas)

Re: Pretty good VR show I had never seen
I personally would love the hear the demos with Jeff Angell (pre-Weiland). VR would have been a completely different band, but for sure very interesting
Oh god yes. He's a great lyricist. And, if they wanted someone in the Weiland mould, he would've been a great choice for a post-Weiland VR.
ETA: ISTR there were some demos from the Project sessions that found their way onto the internet, weren't there? Not the "open auditions" they held post-Weiland, the really early days.
