 MusicRadar users have voted Axl Rose as the best recruit for the currently singer-less hard rock band Velvet Revolver the website has revealed.
This, of course, would essentially reform Guns N' Roses: Axl Rose, guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum would all be in the band – the four core members that recorded Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion I and II albums in 1991.
Over 2000 voters in the MusicRadar poll chose between four suggestions for the next frontman of Velvet Revolver and the results are as follows:
Chris Cornell (ex-Audioslave) 38%
Perry Farrell (ex-Jane's Addiction) 7%
Sammy Hagar (ex-Van Halen) 9%
Axl Rose (still clinging on to Guns N' Roses) 46%
Velvet Revolver have been without a singer since Scott Weiland left in April 2008, and a search for a replacement has been dogged by confusion. Spacehog's Royston Langdon and Lenny Kravitz have both been rumoured, incorrectly, to be joining and bassist McKagan has admitted the recruitment process is proving "tough".
With Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy album (featuring only Axl Rose from the original line-up) still yet to be released after nearly 15 years of recording, it's clear that a lot of fans want both bands to cut their losses and reunite.
