Velvet Revolver STILL Looking For Vocalist

Duff McKagan says VR dropped the guy they almost hired...

Velvet Revolver said not long agao that they were very close to naming their new lead singer. Unfortunately, things fell through.

"We thought we landed on the singer. We all did," Duff McKagan says. "We played with him and we said, ‘OK, we got our guy. He's great.'"

In the end, VR had second thoughts.

"Maybe if we would've got there and had gigs booked right then and there it would've been a different story," McKagan says. "But we didn't have gigs booked. We were given too much time and we were able to go, ‘Ah, fuck, I don't like that about the guy.' "

"When things got rough last year with Scott there was, not directly from Scott, such bullshit and drama surrounding the band," McKagan says. "I started really getting beat down."

McKagan says those tough times have affected the new vocalist search.
