Velvet Revolver are planning to audition replacements for ex-vocalist Scott Weiland online. The band are in the process of launching a new website specifically for finding a new frontman.
"The band is actually talking about building a website in the next month or so and doing some auditions via that," VR guitarist Slash told Billboard.
Slash also went on to say that, despite being approached by a few famous faces, he doesn't have anyone in mind for the vacant vocalist slot.
"We're at that point of just listening to different things... it's one of those kind of situations where you can't really explain it to anybody because you'll know it when you hear it. So I'm waiting to get that feeling of, 'Yeah that's it.' "
Slash and his band mates will get the opportunity to see if they get that feeling of "yeah that's it" at an upcoming show in Las Vegas where the band will operate a revolving door policy of "well-known people" getting up to take on vocal duties.
"I'm not gonna name any names, but a bunch of well-known people will get up and sing some songs," the six stringer revels. "And then also bring up a couple people that we think are pretty good and might sing a couple songs."
The sooner VR find a new vocalist the better. Love them(y)
Good luck in the search!

P.s. Slash <3

VR singer
John Corabi would be BUT I hope its an unknown vocalist... no rock star egos to contend with and no baggage/previous bands.
You just know if John Corabi got hired.. VR would constantly get compared to Motley Crue for John's time with them!
WHEN I WAS AT THE GODS OF METAL FESTIVAL LAST SUMMER, WATCHING V.REVOLVER AND MOTLEY CRUE – ANOTHER BAND WAS ON THE BILL – CALLED TIGERTAILZ (WWW.TIGERTAILZ.CO.UK) CREDITS TO THE BANDS NAME INCLUDE A MASSIVE HIT SINGLE CALLED “LOVE BOMB BABY” – SEVERAL ALBUMS INC. “BEZERK” “BEZERK 2.0” AND “THRILL PISTOL”. RECENLTY BEING SIGNED WITH LIVE NATION LEAD THEM TO HAVE 2 TOUR DATES WITH THE ONE AND ONLY ACE FREHLEY. I WENT TO SEE THE LONDON GIG A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND TIGERTAILZ WERE EXCELLENT - I AM A MASSIVE FAN OF TIGERTAILZ, LOOK UP VARIOUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF – KIM HOOKER OF TIGERTAILZ SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED BY VELVET REVOLVER

Maybe some new talent
I really cant wait for this new audition website to come.i really want to audition for u guys.but is their a certain age limit for this kind of thing.but i think maybe some new young talent would be the trick.i think that would be the spark to light that fire.giving the classic rock sound of music.with the new- wave voice of todays music.but you guys hang in their.good luck
