    And it's good that he turned down that offer, because Velvet Revolver would have ended up being shit..


    I'm sure they wouldn't have. They would've ended up with the best singer.
  2. This is Russian ROCK



  3. No way. Ever listened to Velvet Revolver before? Check them out, and it's guaranteed that you will think that Russell Watson would never suit that band at all.
  4. Also Olof, you really need to listen to more music. Russell Watson is never the best singer of all time - there is so many more singers ahead of him. I know its your opinion, but it's fact that he isn't the best singer.

    Robert Plant or Freddie Mercury definitely top the list. Others too could join them.

    No, I haven't.

    Before Russell Watson became famous, when he sang in the working men's clubs in Manchester's suburbs, his bill said "Russell Watson - Everything from Meat Loaf to Pavarotti", so I'm sure he could've handled anything. And the band could've just been different, and that doesn't mean shit. Maybe they'd have ended up even more amazing instead.

    Freddie Mercury is amazing for sure. You also have to mention Frank Sinatra when you say something like you just did.

    You really need to listen to more Russell Watson.


  7. Pop?

    Well, I don't have much of an opinion apart from what I've heard.

    Considering Slash was in a band called Guns N' Roses before Velvet Revolver, and two of the other members in the band were also in Guns N' Roses (Matt Sorum & Duff McKagan), they wouldn't been like they should have been. They are a hard rock band, and that's what they were meant to be. Just because Russell Watson sang Meat Loaf, that doesn't mean that he was capable of singing hard rock. You can sing hard rock songs in an opera voice if you want to, that's probably what he done.

    They went for Scott Weiland in the end, and that was probably a great choice - but he became a drug addict in the end... They have auditioned for over 1,000 singers over the years of their existence, so I wouldn't be surprised if Slash got desperate.
