Rock List: Reader’s Picks for the Next Velvet Revolver Singer Last week, we asked our readers to pretend they were Careerbuilder.com and help fill the Velvet Revolver lead vocalist job. Many sent in resumes, some candidates got second interviews, but the readers ultimately chose to save former Audioslave/Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell from solo album purgatory and employ him as the next band mate to Slash, Duff and the rest of VR. But the pick of Cornell wasn’t unanimous; here are the singers you want to see fill Scott Weiland’s shoes in Velvet Revolver. 1. Chris Cornell 2. Josh Todd from Buckcherry 3. Sebastian Bach 4. Eric Dover from Slash’s Snakepit 5. Izzy Stradlin 6. Gavin Rossdale 7. Mike Patton 8. Lukas Rossi from Rock Star: Supernova 9. Scott Stapp 10. Sammy Hagar 11. Billy Idol 12. Danzig 13. Kid Rock 14. Perry Farrell 15. Ozzy Osbourne

Weekend Rock List: Next Velvet Revolver Singer With Scott Weiland officially out as singer of Velvet Revolver, this week’s Rock List will be an open casting call to vocalists you think are worthy of the job. Slash told us yesterday he had some people in mind, but he didn’t want to start “naming names.” So we’ll name ‘em for him. Tell us your picks for who should rock the mic with VR, and on Monday we’ll reveal the winner of the Rock List: Next Velvet Revolver Singer. In the meantime, here’s who we’re lobbying for: • Phil Anselmo: All the haters who thought VR didn’t rock hard enough with the glam-happy Weiland would roll out the red carpet for the former voice of Pantera. • Chris Cornell: Because not only does Audioslave not want him, but having Timbaland produce his solo album and cashing in off American Idol don’t seem like the best career options for the former Soundgarden frontman right now. • Mike Patton: The man is a vocal chameleon and can fill the role of Rose, Weiland or anybody else for that matter. Any contract with Velvet Revolver should include an opt-out clause that allows Patton to reunite Mr. Bungle. • Trent Reznor: He did just dismiss his touring band. • Axl Rose: For obvious reasons. If that were to happen, they should give Dizzy Reed a call too.
