Velvet Revolver Looking At Spacehog’s Royston Langdon?!
Spacehog’s Royston Langdon in the running for Velvet Revolver frontman
While Scott Weiland treks cross-country on the Stone Temple Pilots reunion tour, his other former band, Velvet Revolver, is hard at work finding a new singer. EW.com has learned that Royston Langdon —frontman for Spacehog (who had a 1995 hit with “In the Meantime” ) and estranged husband of Liv Tyler — is in the running for the gig after several successful jam sessions in Los Angeles. “They all got along great,” says an insider. “It was really a refreshing change for the band.” Velvet Revolver’s management couldn’t confirm that an offer had been made, and would only say that they’re still auditioning prospective singers. But an RCA source says that Langdon is “definitely in the mix.”

JARED LETO WOULD BE BRILL, HE HAS THE VOICE/ WRITING TALLENT AND LOOKS.
Yeah, it was a great bass line. Incredibly catchy.
I like how Velvet Revolver doesn’t look at regular hard rock singers. Instead, they look for someone that they think will help them find a unique sound. It’s why they’re so much better than so many other leftovers from 80s hard rock.
I loved “In the Meantime”…great bass line. Can’t remember anything else they’ve done though.
