Thanks for posting Neemo that's very interesting.

I quite like that second vid you posted, the guy sounds like he has a good set of pipes.  I also think that going with a relatively unknown singer is probably the right move for VR.  You are never going get past the GN'R talk and comparisons but if you can stop any other stuff by having a lesser known frontman then I think it's a good idea.

It helps get rid of the "supergroup" tag a bit as well.  Personally I think Weiland always had issues that Slash was the biggest star in that band.

I need to download some of this I Mother Earth. Never even heard of the band until you got this info.

I Mother Earth was one of 4 major canadian Bands from the early 90's, the other 3 being Moist (David Usher who bono always raves about), The Tea Party and Our Lady Peace (prolly the most US successful of the 4)

This is way off topic, but I saw Our Lady Peace open for Van Halen in '96.  It was odd for me when they all of a sudden had a hit a few years ago.  I really hadn't heard anything about them since seeing them.
