Velvet Revolver, having parted ways with vocalist Scott Weiland, are apparently in negotiations with a big name lead vocalist as a replacement. Velvet Revolver released their debut album 'Contraband' in 2004 to critical acclaim and a #1 position on the Billboard Top 200 chart and the album has sold over 4 million albums worldwide. The band's second album 'Libertad' debuted at #5 and was off the charts a few months later having failed to live up to the bands success of their debut album. Then soon after a much publicized performance in Europe where Scott declared Velvet Revolver 'Dead in the Water' onstage, the band and Weiland parted ways and fired off a few shots back and forth on the way out. Now fans are eagerly awaiting the bands announcement on who will be Velvet Revolver's new lead singer and rumors have been swirling that it could be anyone from Sebastian Bach to Chester Bennington to Donovan Leitch, to name just a few.
