American Psycho Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 The man is a living legend, from his great work with Stone Temple Pilots & Solo projects / later on to make the band known as Velvet Revolver, huge, Scott Weiland! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtC8daasjIgDo People hate him just because he called Axl '' A Fat Botox Wig-Wearing FUCK '' ?

SunnyDRE Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I do think he is underrated by many on this board.After GNR died out in the early 90's - STP was one those bands vying for the label of "biggest band in the world." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Psycho Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) I do think he is underrated by many on this board.This.Without him where would VR be today? they would still be seaching for a singer, sad but true. The scream can be compared to the WTTJ intro scream! Edited October 16, 2010 by American Psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdlove Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I was a HUGE fan of STP and Scott way back when I was growing up. I would say even more so than GnR at the time. Scott is an awesome frontman, and an awesome singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 He's great.Just a shame he doesn't seem interested in hard rock anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Psycho Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Shame? no, the man experiences with music as much as he does with styles, thats one of the reasons he's so great.

Dead Flower Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Absolutely. The diversity of his work is amazing. One of the reasons he's so great.But, Contraband was so heavy, mean and awesome. What's the heaviest song he's done since? Probably something weaksauce like Take A Load Off. The dude used to be able to rock with the best of 'em. Hope he rediscovers it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lllox53aAX8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nbA6OR2yTg Edited October 16, 2010 by Dead Flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Scott is off on his own tangent at this point. His influences on Libertad, Happy & the self titled STP are eclectic but lack the punch of his other work.He has seemingly put heavier material behind him to explore new-wave, country and other approaches. I'd dare say he's too much of a solo artist at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose Your Illusions Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgh2iMm1yecI like Scott when he's not trying to be like Axl, just being himself ^.

FuddMckagan Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Scott's a great singer. Got into STP through VR, and realised how awesome he can be. Loved Purple and especially Core, there was a time (a few months back) when I couldn't stop listening to that album. Crackerman, Dead And Bloated, Plush, Sex Type Thing and Naked Sunday all kick ass.

Spoon87 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I still don't get the whole Scott Weiland STP thing. This I think I have to agree. They have some good songs which are good to rediscover now and then but that's it. Same with Scott's solo record. "Missing Cleveland" was the only song that stuck.

ColdHeartBreaker Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I really like this guy, may not be popular opinion, but "Happy" in Galoshes is one of my all time favourite albums. The song Paralysis is lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Psycho Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Finally! Happy is one of those great solo album's out there everyone should listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlSlashedIzzy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) I like Scott when he's not trying to be like Axl, just being himself ^. And please dont tell me you dont know exactly what im talking about.LOL. Are you thick? Scott (just like Axl) is one of the most unique and talented frontmen of the last 30 years. There aren't really any similarities and they are both great.I still slightly prefer 12 Bar Blues to HAPPY but I love them both. I think most people here who slag STP have maybe heard some singles from Purple/Core but nothing like Atlanta,Glide, etc. Edited October 16, 2010 by AxlSlashedIzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketQueen1985 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Shame? no, the man experiences with music as much as he does with styles, thats one of the reasons he's so great. Exactly. You have to try new things and experiment as an artist Scott is great at doing just that and imo he succeeds at it. Scott was the main reason why I even liked VR. I checked them about because of Slash, Duff and Matt at first and I just remember going "Who is that guy?!" I loved his voice, his looks, his movements etc. VR cannot replace Scott, they shouldn't even try imo. I do prefer him in STP over VR though. His lyrics with STP are so amazing, especially on the Purple album and his voice is so fucking fantastic. Him and Layne Staley had the best voices in grunge music imo. I'm still hoping STP will come to Denmark or at least just Germany so I can see them, Scott is definetly someone I just have to see! Check out the Rolling Stones cover Scott did with Santana recently. His fucking voice Edited October 17, 2010 by RocketQueen1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Psycho Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Just as Slash says in his book, they needed someone to make the band big & Scott did it, without him they would still be looking for a singer.WOW, santana & weiland is priceless, if STP comes to Denmark next year ill pray for some kind of a meet & greet with the band! Now THATS a fucking rockstar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostie Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I still don't get the whole Scott Weiland STP thing. STP is bland generic music. What's not to get?Wrong. Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop is an amazing record. Easy A, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 He's one of the few remaining great rock n' roll frontmen left along with Axl and Perry Farrell. He's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
