wow, dave speaks-and it is very painful, between the pause interuptions and the fact Dave's pretty fucking dull, i'd rather stab my eyes out

He says quite a bit about Velvet Revolver.  He explains that Shooter Jennings was misquoted, and it sounds like he and Matt are the ones looking for the singer right now. 

It's interesting that he says he gets his VR news from Google Alerts...but he backed off that when he realized how that sounded.

He also seemed to stop short of saying that firing Scott may not have been the best decision.

I really have not had time to listen to the interview but what you guys are saying about it sounds interesting.

i got that sense too, that if they just took some time away from each other to do solo shit and then regroup w/out the bitterness

[deadflowerII]

Shooter Jennings would be great!!!That would be a fresh & original pick.

That was horrible

tempo is way too slow, and Corabi just doesn't sing it good.

[Falcon]

What was so bad about it?

I agree the tempo was too slow, but John sounded ok there. No worse than Scott, that's for sure.

And I still think he should be their frontman too. He's got the right amount of grit and balls in his voice, which is just what VR need - a kickass hard rock vocalist.
