More speculation about Velvet Revolver singer emerges

Velvet Revolver may be considering former MTV VJ and Panic Channel frontman Steve Isaacs as a replacement for departed vocalist Scott Weiland. According to Blabbermouth.net, rumors have surfaced online that Isaacs is the frontrunner for the position. Drummer Matt Sorum told MusicRadar.com that the band "tried out a couple of guys," adding, "We have a guy right now that we're still...sort of checking it out, feeling it out, letting him work with us. I'd rather not (say who it is) -- just because I don't want it to get out that he might be the guy. I mean, we like him, he's awesome." That "guy" is rumored to be Isaacs.

Isaacs appeared as a VJ on MTV for a little under two years, from 1991 to 1993. Following that, he starred in a touring version of the Who's Tommy and formed a band called Skycycle in 1995.

He joined the Panic Channel, featuring three former members of Jane's Addiction, in 2006, but the band was dropped by its label after releasing its debut album, (ONe).

Weiland was dismissed in early April, with the band citing erratic behavior as the reason. He is now back with Stone Temple Pilots.
