RIP Scott Weiland - Found dead on tour bus

[SaintAnger]

I don't understand how you guys can be so into music but not play an instrument!  It's a natural extension for your passion.  Don't get it.

I started playing drums. Just didn't have the patience to do what it took to become what I wanted to be. Had a decent voice but never really pursued it either.

[DroppingPlates]

Thanks man. I felt terrible when I heard of his passing.

I loved his material while in the Stone Temple Pilots. I will also admit that I had high hopes for him when he essentially became the lead singer of practically the entire Guns N Roses band, but without the Heroin, he didn't quite sound the same.

Hard to know what these guys go through.

What saddens me, is that I only know one person over here (Europe), who's familiar with the STP (but not the singer's name). Their Plush song was def hit, but the rock culture is almost dead here, thanks to the media

I took guitar lessons for a while, but it wasn't for me, simply lack of talent.

I have played guitar as a hobby for 30 years.

To those without knowledge of the instrument, I'm a virtuoso; to people who know, I am a hack.  

I grew up with musicians who have gone on to become quite successful. For example, my high school buddy, Jason "Hook", is a guitarist in Five Finger Death Punch. Not that I'm a fan (a bit too broskie for my tastes). But without question, he's a VERY accomplished musician.

Him and I were Ratt fanatics (DeMartini!). I remain a fanboy (although I do think Infestation will be that band's final album).

STP broke around the grunge type sound and separated themselves pretty quickly to there own sound /fan base

CORE...was heavy guitar/drum sound.every song picked up the other a great 1st disc

Purple..more melodic and radio themed but good tunes,,some heavy tunes as well 'meatplow'vasoline'

SONGS FROM...REST TITLE ESCAPES ME ,,lady picture show 'mellow'but good tune,

4 ...I like ..sour girl good tune,some heavy stuff on it 6 songs rock..

I have had many offers to be a vocalist with guys setting up groups for years, I have sung on stage many times in clubs in one offs, did an acoustic set last year with a friend for a charity thing for some guys who are hard to house and came within a c.u.n.t hair of being offered to do the national anthem at a CFL game. For the lack of better words life, and a few times my vices got in the way.

I used to be able to sing most anything but these days I have not done it for so long it would def take a few weeks, some practice and a handful of karaoke outings to get me back to form

[Thin Lizzy]

In my case, it's an appalling lack of talent. Just don't have the motor skills. Shitty typist, too.

So I guess you gotta play football to watch football, mud wrestle to watch mud wrestling...

Got it!

[The Ugly]

Haha!   Thanks again for posting that Rival Son's video by the way. I went out and bought the Great Western Valkyrie album and it's amazing. 'Where i've been' and 'My nature' are simply incredible, i can't stop listening to them.

Happy to have you on board, brother.

[The Ugly]

Officially recanting my "B Team" bullshit. Been listening to the fuck outta these cats lately, and they're pretty damn extraordinary. Guess I just wasn't paying attention back when. "Sour Girl," "Tripping," "Atlanta," etc. - these are fucking classics.

Man was a musical genius, RIP.

I knew you'd come to your senses!

They play "hard rock" a genre not often found. His vocals are very manly, the guitars are cool but not overbearing or loud.

The ballads are also lovely if I do say so. "Lovin the aliens" "Fall to pieces" instant classics and so many others. No other style of music can do ballads like rock music.

This one's a MONSTER, just not STP. No one has EVER channeled Morrison truer than Scott on "Atlanta." Absolutely uncanny. Also, head and shoulders above all else at the Doors reunion/tribute deal. Totally nails "Break on Through," YouTube that shit.

I saw him sign that on YT also and was surprised how well he sang it.

Thought Vedder would be the obvious hero there, based on the moody baritone comparisons since day one. But he couldn't touch what Scott did with that song.

Vedder is still very good though! The song "sirens" was one of the better ballad rock songs in a while.

I think Eddie likes to drink more than do hard drugs. Either can be disastrous...

Man, he had a bizarre, glazed look in his eyes. No eye contact and spoke like he was baked.

Love Vedder, dislike "Sirens," though. Can't get into anything from that record, but I LOVE his 'Into the Wild' ukulele stuff. Last PJ I enjoyed was Binaural, which was years ago.

Listen to just the first verse here, and tell me it couldn't be a Doors outtake:

He was often a complete, doped-up mess. Long time coming.

I'm not the biggest Doors band connaisseur to be honest but heard what you're saying about that song before...

Funny you posted that I just went on youtube the other day looking for STP live performances. Came across this also and was amazed at how much he sounded like Morrison.

I will agree that his vocals sounded very good. The song, as a whole, is boring.

I can compare it to crying while peeling an onion.
