Slash says Velvet Revolver is looking for a heavier lead singer than Scott Weiland.

It shouldn't be too hard. What does Scott weigh, 87 pounds? Ohhhhhh. He means...."Heavier"...........

Rolling Stone:

What is the status with Velvet Revolver?

Everything is cool. We’ve been writing this whole time, but we’re on this quest for a singer.

It wasn’t so long ago when you were in this situation, back when the band was getting together.

We spent at that time 10 months listening to 200 singers a week, and chased after Scott, and managed to make that work. We were off and running, but then things fell short and we’re at it again. It’s actually sort of a blessing, because we originally wanted to do something really heavy and it took a different turn, especially on the last record. This time around we’re not going to make any compromises.

Did you learn any lessons learned from the last search?

Singers are a very interesting breed. It’s hard to be choosy when it comes to finding somebody talented enough to be a really great frontman for a rock & roll band. There’s always something that comes along with it, just like with any musician. It’s all worth it if you manage to get those magical moments.
