VELVET REVOLVER founders SLASH, MATT SORUM and DUFF MCKAGAN have been impressed with the candidates competing to replace SCOTT WEILAND - because they are pleasant and show up for rehearsals on time.
In a slight aimed at Weiland, who was kicked out of the band in April (08) following weeks of public band squabbles, drummer Sorum insists the ongoing search for a new frontman has been enjoyable.
The rocker admits the trio have found a favourite - rumoured to be former Panic Channel frontman Steve Isaacs - and he's nothing like the group's departed singer.
He says, "It's really weird because Slash and Duff and myself... were kind of like, `Wow, this guy shows up to a rehearsal on time, he's really nice, he's easy to get along with', and it actually kind of scared us.
"We thought, 'Is this possible?' I was worried for a minute... that we might be so used to the drama. I kind of looked around at the guys. I said, 'Man, this guy is a super-nice dude. You think we can go with that or what?'"
