Will Velvet Revolver perhaps find their new lead singer via American Idol? Slash has insisted “no way”, but given this week’s performance by contestant Adam Lambert, he may want to rethink his position.
As reported by MusicRadar, as part of the TV show’s “Rock Week,” Lambert belted out Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” with such authority even the normally staid Simon Cowell was bowled over.
Prior to the performance Lambert was coached by Slash, who apparently dissuaded the singer from ad-libbing during his fireball rendition of the Led Zep classic.
Whether or not Slash and Lambert buddied-up enough to make Lambert a viable candidate for the VR gig is anyone’s guess, but talent-wise, the singer seems to have the goods.
