94XPOSED TUESDAY FEBRUARY 1ST

1994 – Green Day released their "Dookie" album, featuring the singles "Basket Case," "When I Come Around," "Longview," "Welcome To Paradise," and "She."

GREEN DAY - WELCOME TO PARADISE
VELVET REVOLVER - FALL TO PIECES

Lotsa rumors floating around that Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor could be the new singer for Velvet Revolver. In a new interview with Billboard.com, Taylor would neither confirm nor deny that is the "known singer" who's working under wraps with Velvet Revolver. "To be continued!" Taylor told Billboard with a long, hearty laugh, before declining to say anything further. The rumour of Corey Taylor taking over the lead spot in Velvet Revolver has been floating around ever since the VR camp announced that the vocalist that they were working with was a well known artist that was much heavier than former frontman, Scott Weiland. I could see it happening.....And I'd be excited to hear what that union would sound like!!
