Who's Left in the Velvet Revolver Sweepstakes?

In the interest of clearing up some of the confusion that's been generated in the last week, I present the following.

Below is a list of people who are NOT the new lead singer for Velvet Revolver:
Scott Weiland (duh.)
Chester Bennington (denied rumors, still working with Linkin Park)
Steve Isaacs (MTV VJ/Panic Channel leader also denied reports yesterday)
Sebastian Bach (Not doing it)
Layne Staley (no one has come forward to deny his involvement yet, but given that he's dead, I'm gonna go ahead and scratch him off my list)
David Cook (would be a good fit, but the Idol win ties up his schedule for the next year or so)

This leaves the rest of the band with:
The Unknown Australian
Any one of a million YouTubers (would be cool if Journey hadn't already blazed that trail)
Scott Stapp (Going from one Pearl Jam clone [Weiland] to another. Plus, dude's available)
Amy Winehouse (Unlikely she's one of about 12 people with an expiration date sooner than Weiland's)
Robert Plant (would silence the Led Zeppelin rumors for awhile)
Axl Rose (Like we haven't all been thinking it for the last 3 months)

Anyone I'm forgetting on either list?

Velvet Revolver - She Builds Quick Machines
[iTunes]
Guns N Roses - November Rain [iTunes]
