There have been rumors circulating for the past few months about possibilities that Corey Taylor would take over as the new lead singer for the super-group Velvet Revolver. After another fall out with ex-vocalist Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), VR has been searching to replace the exuberant lead man. Weiland's outlandish on and off stage behavior involving drug abuse put the axe to the relationship between him and many of his bandmates resulting in the band letting him go. Since rumors have been circulating, Corey Taylor hasn't confirmed nor denied the truth or possibility of him taking over the lead role for the band and Slash told the Charlotte Observer back in February;
"There was truth to the rumour that we were looking at Corey – but then I left for tour. So there’s nothing being done at the moment. No decision has been made."
Then today, bassist Duff McKagan confirmed that Taylor has recorded songs with the Slipknot/Stone Sour singer. McKagan also went on to say that this doesn't make Taylor the official vocalist just yet.
"We recorded a bunch of songs with I think he's fucking great – he's the best voice of a new generation and I'd be proud to do anything with him."
"The truth is, I can't see Velvet Revolver happening until fall. Slash is touring, I'm just starting to tour-we'll just have to see. I don't have an answer."
