Lenny Kravitz to Velvet Revolver: Are You Gonna Go My Way?

Posted by Whit Honea

 

I doubt Lenny Kravitz actually said that, as it would be cheesy, not to mention I made it up.  Still, the rocker is rumored to be the favorite for the role of Velvet Revolver frontman.

It's been a regular who's who of daddy rockers being linked to the opening.  The job was Scott Weiland's, but he got canned for being too Scott Weiland.  He went back to his family and his first band, Stone Temple Pilots.  Apparently they are all gluttons for punishment- and good tunes.

Then the rumored replacement was one Royston Langdon, of the recently split from Liv Tyler Royston Landgons.  You've got to figure if he's letting Liv Tyler go he can't be any smarter than Weiland.  Hopefully he'll go back to Spacehog, they were good.

Enter Kravitz.  He writes songs for his kids and washes his hands of illicit affairs.  He's like a relative saint.

Kravitz in a band does seem odd though- very Van Hagar, but (hopefully) better.

I'm sure I'll be creamed for this but I really don't get the allure of Lenny Kravitz.

Ok, I'll give in that he's hot (only b/c he finally cut his dreads) and I've heard he smells good! However, I am not impressed by his songwriting skills whatsoever. All I ever hear is how "innovative" his writing style is and to me, it's downright remedial!

"I can fly

So very high

Up to the sky

Like a butterfly......"

come on....... a third grader can write that and all his stuff is similar in format. There are so many more lyrically talented musicians out there than Lenny Kravitz.
