LENNY KRAVITZ: I Am Not Joining VELVET REVOLVER - Aug. 12, 2008
Lenny Kravitz has shot down as false Internet reports that he is set to become the new singer of VELVET REVOLVER. The singer told RollingStone.com, "I know and love the VELVET REVOLVER guys but there is no truth to the story about me joining their band."

Thanks to Blabbermouth.net
Damn. I was digging the concept of Lenny joining VR.
Lol me too... at least it would be better than that Langdon dude..

Falcon, Perry or Royston?
Perry's not even an option, too many $ being thrown out for a Jane's reunion.
Plus, he makes their prior frontman look stable.
Royston's the leader in the clubhouse...
He said this about Jane's Addiction to Rolling Stone July 30th...
So what about his own headline-grabbing band, Jane?s Addiction? They?re currently free from major label shackles and reunited with bassist Eric Avery for the NME Awards in April, the first time the band has been intact since the months after headlining the first Lolla in 1991. ?I?m not opposed to it like I used to be. I would cringe and spit at the floor if you would have asked me that last year,? says Farrell. ?Every time we get together it?s just very volatile? [After the NME Awards], all hell broke loose in my life and I couldn?t sleep because we argue. But still, if I imagine us standing out on a stage in front of who knows how many people, getting down? All that hell and effort and tumult still sounds worth it to me.?

Perry is awesome live! Saw him twice w/ Porno for Pyro's or whatever the fuck that band was called. He's got more vocal range than anyone mentioned, but I doubt it will happen.
My three top choices would be Pery, Kravitz and Andrew Stockdale. If none of these guys, they may as well audition Axl.
Maybe they could go after Jeff Keith from Tesla. He still has his voice and the only thing they did recently was a cover album, the death of any band
I saw them last year in NYC and Jeff sounded great but their new material has been lacking since The Great Radio Controvesy

Not that VR wouldn't be a step up from Tesla (although I love Tesla and think they're vastly underrated) those guys SEEM happy. Don't know if jumping ship would be a likely alternative.

Yeah I know, but they just got back together recently-when I saw them last year they were really good

From an update on Snakepit.org
Two more musicians whose names were bandied about as possible singers for VR now include Royston Langdon, frontman for Spacehog and the great Lenny Kravitz, a personal and longtime friend of SLASH. SLASH has denied to us that neither of these is in the running, so we just continue to wait.
SLASH joined Perry Farrell and Samantha Ronson for impromptu, unplugged, singalong rendition of "Jane Says" at Lollapalooza 2008. SLASH's appearance there was said to be the worst-kept secret of the show! The event was in Chicago, IL, a town friendly to music and festivals. SLASH's appearance there with family onstage, too, has led to speculation that Farrell may be the next singer for VR.

Originally I never thought Lenny would even be a possibility becase he has his own band, calls his own shots, and is successfull on his own. Then he even shot down the rumor of him joining VR. Hopefully, that is just to throw people off for the time being (I hope). However, I actually think he can still do both and it would help out his career and legacy as an artist. I am not saying he needs VR, but I am saying he could take VR to an even greater level than they were with Scott. Again Lenny is successful but he is kind of at a plateau in his career. Where as a few years ago he was an up and coming artist I believe he has reached the pinacle of his career as a solo artist or with his band as it is now. I mean I saw him a couple of years ago when he was opening up for Aerosmith and it was awesome, but I don't think we will ever see Aerosmith opening for Lenny as we saw roles kind of reverse when we saw GNR open for Aerosmith and they became bigger for several years. (By the way I know Lenny headlines his own shows I was only trying to illustrate a point with that particular show).
With that said if Lenny were to join VR I strongly believe that VR can become even more succesful than they were with Scott and MAYBE more succesful than Lenny's band. I don't think they would achieve GNR, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi Status but possibly a tier below that because of the members and the possibility that they would write some spectacular music together. Lenny seems like he would fit well with VR because of his style and influences are very R&R, plus he is already friends with Slash, Duff, and Matt. I think his fans and VR fans would be excited about seeing him in a new light. By joining VR Lenny can elevate his status as a successful artist on his own and with VR. I could envision Lenny and VR doing a couple of albums and touring those abums. Then take a break to work on all their side projects... Loaded, Slash Solo Album or Snakepit, guests appearances, Camp Freddy, and Lenny can do his band again releasing an Album and touring for a year, then they can regroup and do VR stuff again.
I think it would be a win win situation for Lenny and VR with no downside.

Speculation aside...
Any of the 3 above (and most of the goofy Bach type suggestions for that matter) are just silly.
If they plan to move forward and stay relevent, they'll need someone more current.
Not an easy task...

No it's not. Nikki Sixx seemed to hit a homerun with the lead singer of Sixx AM (don't know the name). He was pretty much an unknown though, right? So it is possible to strike gold with an unknown. But yeah, not easy, especially when the rest of the band members are so accomplished and established. A known commodity may not want much to do with that, since they may not have much control and Duff/Slash/Matt's past issues with lead singers. And an unknown may feel out of place because they're not at their level.

I'll say my opinion again just to get some thoughts going, Chris Cornell.
Yes he's doing his whole solo thing, but I think he'd be a nice fit.

a friend of mine said soundgarden is getting back together;
Again, if not Kravitz, and if not rose:
maybe Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother- a singer / songwriter without a band
