Reports has reached Classic Rock that Velvet Revolver are hoping to audition singer Phil Conalane from the band Million Dollar Reload. The singer was apparantly recomended to the band by former Guns N Roses drummer Steven Adler aswell as the band Stone Gods, who also tried to recruit Conalane.

The source claims: "Though a surprising choice, Phil is experienced but relatively unknown on the international stage, which would fit Velvet Revolver’s bill of fresh blood as they try to rebuild their career following the disappointing sales of their last album, Libertad, and the GN’R return that has left them reeling. Phil is also well known as a good songwriter, something that scuppered Velvet Revolver’s plans when previously they tried to bring in the less-than-prolific Josh Todd of BUCKCHERRY."

AP: I find it interesting, but to say that I actually care would be going too far. I still think Billy Idol would be a great fit for this band.

I think the had a great first cd. So yes i care. I think Slash deserves to be in a band with a stable singer for once. He is a great guitar player and has had sh**ty luck with singers. Maybe Chris Cornell if this irish guy doesn't work out.
