Would they?
I personally like Josh Todd's (Buckcherry) voice ALOT more then Scotts... Hell maybe more then Axl's.
Plus the demo or whatever it was that was put on the web with Josh on it sounded awesome... BTW anyone got a link to that?

No.

As much as I like Josh, Scott was obviously the right choice.

Number 1 album, 2 number 1 rock singles, Grammy award,  sold out tour and a double platinum record speak volumes...

JOsh is back where he should be, back with Keith and rocking with buckcherry.

True, Buckcherry does rock.

Listen to Josh Todd, man cant write for shit.

Scott makes VR a relevant successful band.

With Josh Todd they wouldve been a joke.

Josh Todd has a good voice but Crazy Bitch is like that fuckin stripper girl song.  shudders...........

Have you heard the demo that was put on the net with Josh singing a song he wrote with Velvet during his audition?

Exactly.

You get members of a successful 80's band teaming up with the lead singer from a successful 90's band. With Josh Todd they would've gotten nowhere.

Plus Buckcherry are pretty much unkowns outside the US, well they're not popular in Australia that's for sure.

Everything at this point is just speculation. How would any of us know how successful V.R. would have been with Josh Todd without seeing what would  have happened with him as lead singer. Personally I'm fairly happy with Scott. Of course I could do without his bi-polar probs, but that can't really be helped short of finding a new singer which I'm not sure would be good. I think Scott's a good choice!

Metallex u hit the nail on the head in the other thread.

He is a third rate Axl wanna be impersonator and people want Axl so bad they will settle for a welfare version.


do they win a grammy and have two number 1 rock singles with Josh

Im not a soothsayer but Id say probably not.

No, Weiland is much better.  Scott was in STP and did songs like Plush, Interstate Love Song, and Sex Type Thing.  Josh is in Buckcherry and did Lit Up and that's it (not that they aren't popular and have a few more good songs, just nothing that was massive and could compete with STP).  Personally, I love STP and GNR and think that a hybrid of both styles of music is what will make up the music scene for the next 5-10 years.

The album would have been better but they would not have had the sucess. I expended more from Scott and contraband was not very good at all. I was one of the first people that said they should get scott before they even had him in mind, and now its too bad they did pick him. They would have done the best with Izzy

Before all my posts about subjective matters there should be an IMO before the post. I took this sig down but of course it has to go back up.

I think it got much more media attention with Scott on board than anyone else, and you also had a combo of interested GNR fans and STP fans-not everyone might have been a favorite of both groups, but were curious about this group

I agree, I just think the Weiland factor helped sales-I would love to listen to the other demos they had with singers.
