Story from Classic Rock Magazine:
Is Velvet Revolver’s search for a new Singer finally over? Drummer Matt Sorum says Ours frontman Jimmy Gnecco could be the man to step into Scott Weiland’s pointy shoes.
A precedent, of sorts, has already been set.
At the Road Recovery concert in New York City back in September, Gnecco sang lead vocals on three songs ("Slither" by Velvet Revolver, "It's So Easy" by Guns N’ Roses, "Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix) with Slash, Duff McKagan, Gilby Clarke and Matt Sorum, plus Dave Kushner.
“So we’ll see how that goes,” Sorum spoke of the auditioning of Gnecco. “Then we’ve got a couple of other ideas.
It looks like Slash is going to make another album, but I’m not sure
about his touring and stuff yet. But we’re all open to it and interested
in trying to do something together.”
Thought from Metal-Missionary:
Oh pleeeeeeease let this be true! I love that dude's voice! He doesn't sound too good on the "It's So Easy" link above, but try this one from his band Ours. Don't worry I'll wait for you to watch (around 2:20 in the video he screams. Now imagine that with Slash's playing... I know right?!)... "Promises" by Ours
So... whaddidya think? I really enjoy his singing, I first heard of them when they opened for Marilyn Manson in 2008. The audience was pretty rude to them the whole tour apparently, but I became a fan.
