I was sooo disappointed that the try out with the singer from Buckcherry (Josh Todd??) didn't go well for whatever reason. That scrawny bastid has the voice, the look, and the stage presence I thought would really have fit with that group. Not sold on Weiland these days, artistically or reliability wise....

It's just really gonna suck if the band does kick ass and yet goes in the crapper because he is still having substance problems. GnR self destructing once almost killed me (oh, what could have been!!), I don't think I could live through it again! [img]confused.gif[/img]

If you could bring one dead musician back from the dead, who would it be?
I'd bring back Jeff Buckley in a second!
I agree with the person who noted that it seems good old fashion rock/hard rock is just not being signed and/or played anymore.
I find it hard to "discover" new bands these days. I was doing ok when I still had MTV X (found DIsturbed, Godsmack, Saliva, Rammstein, Linkin Park etc through MTV X), but then the channel got killed! Never mind we have 2 country channels, 3 R&B/rap channels and, it seems, every other channel playing pop rock... noooo, they have to take away the ONE channel playing hard rock/metal. Fuckers! I can't remember the last "new" band I have discovered, b/c there is just no good way to "sample" them anymore it seems.
Of course, as somone else already noted, just because I don't like something I don't necessarily think I have the right to say it sucks... to each his own. After all, I like some stuff I'm sure others think is just hideous. It just seems the ratio of hard rock v. everything else on the radio and TV is soo pathetic well, IT AIN'T FAIR!!

Here's what I want/don't want. No nu-metal/emo/rapmetal/shoegazer/boyband/skankychick stuff. I want four or five guys to come out and play some damn rock and roll with a fucking <font size="6">ATTITUDE !!</font>. I want the guitarists to dominate their part of the stage unleashing chords and quick runs. Play the damn guitar like every note comes straight from your gut. And when you do play a solo, build the tension thru the whole damn thing. And at the end of it, have something original to kick it back to the rest of the band with.
I want the rythmn section to be in lockstep with each other. I want it to sound like thunder, and to be able to feel it in my chest.
The singer has to be a skinny guy who looks like he hasn't slept in days. And when he opens his mouth to sing, the agony of his life spills out and sends chills down your spine.
There... let's start a band.

I was so hoping Axl would pick up the mantel and save rock music again, but no. Sorely disappointed and more bitter about that asshole than ever, I have renewed hope in Velvet Revolver, as long as Weiland stays off the dope.
