Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

It is all but confirmed. I think the official announcement will come once this season's American Idol is over.

Carl Bell, guitarist for Fuel, and Jeff Abercrombie, bassist, have formally offered Chris the job.


For those who don't know, Chris Daughtry is one of the bigger names on this years American Idol

I hope he takes the offer:deal:

Lol, now all fading/has-been bands will try to have their last huzzah though recruiting someone though a reality TV show? How sad and pathetic...

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

I hope he goes with someone other than Fuel. His voice doesn't fit that style of music.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

What style of music does his voice fit then?

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

I think it works well with their style of music. He actually played Fuel's "Hemorrhage" on American Idol during the first couple weeks. If anyone hasn't heard it, PM me and I'll send it to you. Chris blows away Brett Scallions

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

Chris would fit into Fuel fine.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

fuel sucks though.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

Fuel is definately not one of my favorite bands. Or even close. But I tuned in every week to watch Chris sing, and I never watch American Idol. He played songs like "Broken" (Seether), "Hemorrhage" (Fuel), "Higher Ground" (Red Hot Chili peppers version), "Walk The Line" (Johnny Cash), "Wanted Dead or Alive" (Bon Jovi), and even "What if" (Creed)....and he totally nailed every song. He sure kicked Stapp's ass on What If. haha.

But my point is, Fuel had some potential and I think Chris Daughtry deserves to be in a rock band, not on some teenie-bopper singing contest. The man has a killer rock voice, melodic and powerful. This is just my opinion. But anyone who wants to hear mp3's of any of the songs mentioned above that Chris covered on Americal Idol, throw me a PM.

Have a good day, ladies and gentlemen.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

My thoughts exactly..... doesn't this ruin any credability that Fuel ever had? and I think no matter what Chris does American Idol wi haunt him for years to come because American Idol shows everything wrong with music today.... where image take a front seat over talent


so is life

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

I don't think American Idol will haunt Chris, not with the short attention span of the general public these days.:rolleyes:

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

fuel I would not call as has been, Bell's style is not what the mainstream music people want to hear anymore...so what if that idol guy was offered...the heart of the band is Bell and that is what Fuel is all about...

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

All i know is that i think Chris can rock it harder than Brett Scallions.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

....no...

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

you don't think so?....but i guess you're one of those die hard Stapp followers, so I understand your bias...

I don't know how I used to be a Creed fan. Stapp's voice fucking blows, IMO. He sounds like he's plugging his nose and has a stick up his ass

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

He did a great job with What If right up until the end - the 'What If...What If...What If...' bit.

However, to even compare him to Stapp now, not to mention in his prime, is laughable.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

this dude is the first one to go on american idol and truly rock it out. he even did what if, so hes not like the rest, he prolly got kicked off because he wouldnt do pop

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

bias? no. i think he did a good job but not nearly as good a stapp.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

i had actually read somewhere where he said that he was going to persue his solo career and not do fuel. i remember where i read thi tho.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

Although Chris isnt part of AI anymore I think he would do much better by himself. I dont think he should accept the fuel offer he should wait for better ones. He has what Simon Cowell would say 'star quality' and we wouldnt want that to go to waste.

Re: Chris Daughtry new lead singer of Fuel!
 

If you want to be technical, he IS part of American Idol still...he is under contract to American Idol for, I think, 90 days after the show is over. This means Chris can't negotiate other deals until his contract with AI is up.

I guess I really don't get why comparing Chris to Stapp is "laughable", but I'm not gonna waste my time debating the vocal capabilities of such a fuck-up and an egomaniac.

I think Chris should do Fuel. I think he could help record one of Fuel's best albums, and I'd love to see them on tour.
