Rock List: Reader’s Picks for the Next Velvet Revolver Singer

Last week, we asked our readers to pretend they were Careerbuilder.com and help fill the Velvet Revolver lead vocalist job. Many sent in resumes, some candidates got second interviews, but the readers ultimately chose to save former Audioslave/Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell from solo album purgatory and employ him as the next band mate to Slash, Duff and the rest of VR. But the pick of Cornell wasn’t unanimous; here are the singers you want to see fill Scott Weiland’s shoes in Velvet Revolver. 1. Chris Cornell 2. Josh Todd from Buckcherry 3. Sebastian Bach 4. Eric Dover from Slash’s Snakepit 5. Izzy Stradlin 6. Gavin Rossdale 7. Mike Patton 8. Lukas Rossi from Rock Star: Supernova 9. Scott Stapp 10. Sammy Hagar 11. Billy Idol 12. Danzig 13. Kid Rock 14. Perry Farrell 15. Ozzy Osbourne
