Got this from htgth.
John Corabi Declines Velvet Revolver Audition
John Corabi is interviewed on the Classic Metal Show...the VR mention is at 11:30.
Sun, 07 Sep 2008
He says that VR sent him some songs and asked him to come into the studio to record vocals....as great as the music was, at this point, he declined because he didn't want to take another established lead vocalists spot and be compared to Scott Weiland. He just wrote the guys a letter 4-5 days ago and declined.

Damn shame, I reckon he would've been an awesome frontman for VR.
And I guess if VR actually seeked him out for an audition, they do intend on going in a heavier rock direction.

Metallica fans are quite possibly the dumbest fans ever of any band. Metallica tried to be a multi-layered, multi-talented band, and all their fans wanted them to be is metal's AC/DC. Every album should've sounded like Ride The Lightning or Master of Puppets over and over and over. It's just lame. The Black Album is probably their best album ever, and yet no one wants to give it credit because it wasn't Puppets II.
ANYWAYS, from what i've heard this album is better than St. Anger, definitely. But I still think it's an average output in comparison to all of their previous albums, Load & Reload included.
I kinda take offense to that, being in that I am a Metallica fan.
I'd argue that it was closed-minded metal heads that have been asking for a Master of Puppets II all this time, because I (a pretty big Metallica fan) like the fact that Metallica have gone places musically that THEY wanted to, not what the typical metal head wanted.
I still haven't heard all of Death Magnetic, as I'm waiting until it's officially released so I can hear it in good CD quality, but what I have heard sounds pretty kick ass. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, but still pretty damn good.
I think someone summed Death Magnetic up best as a mix of all Metallica styles - their 80's thrash with the 90's bluesier/more commercial stuff.
I like your honest review of the album too James.
I guess it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea.
#3913 Re: The Sunset Strip » ALICE IN CHAINS HEADING BACK TO THE STUDIO » 888 weeks ago
I'm really looking forward to this just to hear some kickass guitar playing from Jerry again, but it ain't Alice In Chains without Layne.
#3914 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Velvet Revolver Still Mulling New Frontman » 888 weeks ago
I thought Superhuman was more like Alice in Chains heavy riffing, which I quite liked. Even Slither is quite a heavy riff rocker. And there was still plenty of soloing on there too, well, enough to keep me happy anyway. Contraband was a good step in that it was still rocking while giving them a modern edge, which I what I think works best for VR so they stay kinda relevant.
Libertad while having some moments here and there was very pop-sounding, and much more like an STP album.
#3915 Re: The Sunset Strip » Mötley Crüe » 888 weeks ago
I still have to check out The Saints Of Los Angeles CD, I thought I read someone compare it a bit to the self-titled album musically, but with Vince singing. Any truth to that?
#3916 Re: The Sunset Strip » Mötley Crüe » 888 weeks ago
The self titled album with Corabi is hands down the best material they every recorded. It's a crying shame that it wasn't as successful as it should have been.
Exactly, and unfortunately we'll never get to hear any of those songs played live ever again either. They completely ignore that album in their setlist.
I'd even welcome some Generation Swine tracks played live, but they ignore that album too.
#3917 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Velvet Revolver Still Mulling New Frontman » 888 weeks ago
I thought Contraband was pretty aggresive hard rock, but they really steered away from that on Libertad. Glad to hear they wanna get back on track in that style again!
#3918 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will you still buy CD? » 888 weeks ago
I'll buy it, but here's the catch: they have to actually release the fucking thing for me to be able to buy it.
#3919 Re: Guns N' Roses » Death Magnetic inspiring & bringing out competitive edge in GN'R » 888 weeks ago
inspiring lyrics as well aye D-machine,
LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD
LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD
LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD
any respect i held for metallica was lost as soon as i heard that.
I think you miss the point of that line in the song. Did you even listen to the rest of the lyrics???
The song is about domestic violence or being in an abusive relationship, where "love" is an offensive word like a certain other offensive four letter word (f**k).
#3920 Re: The Sunset Strip » METALLICA Discussion » 889 weeks ago
Just listened to a few tracks up on youtube - End of the Line and Judas Kiss, and one thing is certain, there is no shortage of riffs in these songs, and they sound awesome!
I'm gonna hold out to listen to anymore until the album is officially released, but I am VERY fucking impressed so far.
