Sebastian Bach's recent interview in Australia talking about VR and Axl.
Quote:
I think it's funny that when Scott Weiland left VELVET REVOLVER, the last thing he said was, "I think Sebastian Bach would be a good choice for you guys." I think that's because he's alluding to the fact that you can't get away from GUNS N' ROSES. They're like THE BEATLES or THE ROLLING STONES. I'm sure he felt frustrated in trying to fill Axl's shoes. Axl texted me right away and asked if I was joining VELVET REVOLVER, and I said, "No, not that I know of." Axl has been so nice to me, I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize our friendship. I'm in the middle of all these huge rock icons who are calling me at the same time, and I'm sitting there thinking, "How does this f**king happen to me?" Axl said to me, "Dude, the way that you sing is rare." The way that Axl sings is rare too. There's not a lot of guys anymore that can sing in the range that we sing in.
I'm With The Band: Would Axl be unhappy if you were to sing for VELVET REVOLVER?
Bach: I think it would be awkward. I opened for two GUNS ‘N ROSES tours. Axl sang on my record and I sing on "Chinese Democracy". We're very close friends. For me to join a band and then sing all of his songs would be kinda weird. But "Angel Down" is what's in my heart and I can't wait to get out there and tour it. That's what I'll be doing for the foreseeable future.

I guess this clears up the rumours.....
