Reid About It

The band Velvet Revolver has parted ways with singer Scott Weiland.

As a little background, Velvet Revolver was the band made up three former members of Guns N' Roses, and singer Weiland from the Stone Temple Pilots. The breakup is not much of a shock, especially when compared to the surprising fact that all of these guys are still alive.

In his own press release, Weiland sarcastically told the group that former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach was available. That brings up the question, if you're going to restock a band in late 80s metal/early 90s grunge, where do you go for a singer? You need to find someone who:

a) Is still alive. (No Kurt Cobain, Shannon Hoon, Layne Staley, etc.)
b) Needs a steady job. (Dave Grohl has enough bands, Chris Cornell is solo again.)
c) And isn't too fat to fit into the requisite leather pants. (Vince Neil is right out.)

Any ideas? Personally, I'm hoping Jimmy Carter can be called in to negotiate the peace between the band and Axl Rose, if for no other reason than I'd like to see them have to re-re-re-record the Chinese Democracy album all over again.
