L.A. GUNS HIRES DAVID SPADE AS NEW SINGER

Well, not really, of course.
The new front man for the (Tracii Guns version of the) band, previously identified only as a “blond,” is Marty Casey.
If you’ve never heard of Marty Casey, well, neither have I. Apparently he was a contestant on Rock Star: INXS*, which I imagine was only slightly less embarrassing than Rock Star: Supernova, if only because, unlike Jason Newstead, Tommy Lee and Gilby Clarke, no one ever had any actual respect for the guys in INXS.
In any case, at this point I imagine that anyone who still considers him or herself to be an L.A. Guns fan really doesn’t care who’s in the band, as long as the guitar player is named after some sort of weapon and they open with “Sex Action,” close with “Sex Action,” and play “Sex Action” somewhere in the middle.
Stay tuned for the announcement that Dilana is the new singer for Velvet Revolver.

*By the way, has anyone ever heard the story that INXS asked Mike Patton to replace Michael Hutchence, and he said he’d take the job if they’d let him wear a noose around his neck onstage? I have no idea if it’s a true story or not, but it’s HILARIOUS either way.
this is just plain stupid..at this point it wouldnt be really suprised if VR did infact pick dilana
Brilliant. I love this post.
“he said he’d take the job if they’d let him wear a noose around his neck onstage?”
I would buy a ticket to see that.
imagine if they play Trees! LMFAO
You know, you can get a footnote plugin so you don’t have to fuck around with the asterisks like a dbag.
What an awful career move for Marty Casey. He was damn good on that show, way better than the groan-worthy winner that season.
I think Lukas Rossi probably has a better shot for fronting VR than Dilana.
I want to take bets on how long it takes for them to cancel a show because Casey smoked too, drank to much or flat out sang too much….which would only be two shows tops. I have seen them a few times up in Chicago and two of the shows were back to back…I see they have 10 shows in a row….I want to go to the 8th and 9th (If they are not cancelled of course).
smoked too *much*
I saw them play in San Antonio, they were awesome!
what does the post about Casey drinking, smoking & singing too much mean? Please explain.
