Would you have preferred Cornell in VR?

[Wheres Izzy]

I think it was that metal egdge interview posted somewhere where slash said something about chris cornell also having been discussed with the project. Something along the lines of he also ran in their circle I think. It got me thinking what VR woulda been like with Chris Cornell on vocals. I am a big fan of cornells so this is actually a tough call for me to make. I like the vibe of scott in VR alot but I think Cornell might be in my top 2 singers ever. His voice is just incredible. I just can't get into Audioslave tho like I liked soundgarden or even his solo stuff. I think it would have been pretty fucking awesome to have heard his voice with Slash, Duff, Matt, & Dave and he is a pretty damn good lyricist in my eyes.

what do YOU think?

[Lady Livin]

It would have definitely been different, because IMO velvet revolver sounds more like STP than Gnr ever could or would. I would rather the ex-gunners stick to their roots than try to ride the wave. and Cornell is a good blend of the past, the present, and the future.

[Naupis]

I love VR with Scott.....but the band with Cornell would have been just sick. He has crazy vocal range, and I think they really would have blown the doors off the music world with him at the helm.

[darkdays_01]

No way, Scott is the best choice, It wouldn't be VR without Weiland, Cornell is good in Audioslave.

[D]

i am psychotic over scott weiland!

Scott is a fuckin rockstar a true personality that is all his own

cornell can sing higher and has more range but i prefer Scott's voice

Cornell's lyrics arent any better than Scotts either and scott is a far superior frontman, just watch him dance and move, Scott is Axl Rose without the lyrics and vocal range.

SCott is the fuckin man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slashedguns]

Scott is the perfect choice for VR. Cornall is good but he wouldnt suit VR'S image or the way they rock IMO

[Booker Floyd]

No.

[the dirt]

Probably

[tomass74]

Scott all the way. Chris Cornell has always bored the piss out of me...... (minus a couple tunes on badmotorfinger)

[Top-Hatted One]

better voice = Cornell

better performer = Scott

it's a close call.

also Cornell's live voice is pretty shot after the surgery. It's not the same as it was back during the soundgarden days. At least he can make it sound great in studio. Can't wait for the next Audioslave record!

Personally I think the Audioslave album was inferior by far to the VR one.  The Audioslave album just bored me.  I am 10000% happy that Cornell is not in VR.  Scott Weiland is VR.

Almost all of my friends who are not GNR fans like Audioslave CD more than Contraband...

[Top-Hatted One]

problably because Rage & Soundgarden are more recent then GN'R and get played on modern rock radio stations like Krock unlike GN'R.

[Walapino]

I dont think this would ever happen but it would be cool if VR changed vocalist for every record  and try different shit

LOL, D, do you have any STP CDs?

I never noticed you as a Scott fan until recently... did VR push you to pick-up any STP albums?

[Dave_Rose]

No way as much as I think Cornell is one of the greatest vocalist to me I just cant see them with Slash, Duff you know it wouldn't work Scott is the best choice

[Jizzo]

No, Weiland is the man. And ill admit i got into STP because  I heard scott was joining the band

[JustUsOwls]

Scott is cool, but I think I'd rather have Sebastian Bach.

[GnFnR87]

Scott is cool, but I think I'd rather have Sebastian Bach.

we've been through this before, lol, Bach has an infuckingsane vocal range but doesnt write songs much, so i gues VR would have relied more on Izzy's stuff, or maybe gotten Izzy in the band?? Imagine that, fucking Bach and Izzy, with Izzy writing most of the lyrics.
