Cosmo Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 That song would have been one of the standouts from the last album. Fact it... It sucks 'cause it makes no sense for there to be an STP without Scott Weiland, not 'cause they chose Chester, he was an excellent choice. Dude rocks. So yeah... I don't support an STP without Scott but I sure as hell am not complaining they chose Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well, fuck. me running.I can't believe they really replaced Scott, and can't believe it is with Chester. I feel like I'm in bizzaro land right now.I have always hated Linkin' Park, but that's more about their music and style, Chester's voice isn't horrible. Still, Scott defined that music and all you need to do is watch Chester try and sing those songs to know that while he can hit most of those notes, he can't own the old material.At least the new material doesn't sound so bad... Actually...I find myself, not hating that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I would love to hear Scott's thoughts on this situation at this moment. He knows how Chester idolizes him and always has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay. Don't like the half time pre-chorus. The song in general reminds me of She Builds Quick Machines too much for comfort...I can even hear Chester trying to sound like VR-era Scott at times. Would like to hear Scott sing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Honestly, I was really against this at the start, but that song is actually pretty good. Surprisingly a lot of the vocal lines sound similar to what Scott would write, too. And anyway, from the sound of it, I don't think he's the permanent singer and this is just a one-off.

If the STP guys have to replace SW, Chester a great fit, not sure why so there's so much strong dislike.That said, they should start under a new band name. And you can bet Scotty won't stay silent on this, we'll be hearing from him any time now(tick tock, tick tock goes the bomb about to explode).

Would like to hear Scott sing this.Bingo. When I heard this, my mind immediately registered the connection to VR-Scott. (and more specifically for that matter, Libertad Scott)I think, lyrically, Chester is going to lack that je ne sais quoi that Weiland brings to the table. There's a bit more substance to an STP song than "You're running out of time!"Scott would have delivered a message that was powerful and abstract, at least the Scott Weiland who sang on STP's first five albums would've...

Johnny Drama Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think the song blows.Bring back Weiland, start writing some new shit and let the Deleos have more influence on the music so it doesn't sound as soft cock as that self titled horror.

It's not their fault that every song with balls was vetoed by Scott. He doesn't like brash rock and roll anymore. He's gone on record as saying that he prefers to do more eclectic and melodic songs at this stage in his career. I believe he made a comment about retiring his leather pants. Such a bloody shame.I wouldn't be surprised if this new song is something that was left over from the self-titled sessions. Something Scott turned his nose at.

WhazUp Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I am glad I got to see STP with a good-performing Weiland at the Hollywood Bowl in 2008Weiland is a shadow of his former self now. But I still have no intrest in an STP without him, man if only he could get his act together. He was pretty good during the year they first reunited but now he can barely do the Core and Purple era tunes.Damn shame, STP used to be amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Scott with VR in 2007, STP at least once per year from 2008-2012, and solo this year. The STP show I saw in '08 was absolutely the worst performance I've seen from him, and the solo show this year was by far the best I've seen from him. Generally speaking, 2008 was probably one of his stronger years. The best I saw him with STP was in '09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I was gonna facepalm the shit outta this, but I youtubed kroq Stone Temple Pilots and actually watched. He sounds A FUCK OF A LOT BETTER than Scott has in a long time. I'm pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careful with that axe Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHiEYrJJlZYDoesn't do it for me, dude is off key more than he is onIf that is the closest choice to sounding like Scott and they don't want to try someone with their own style, they should not go forward. STP was amazing live and everything was perfect. VR was unbearable and they seem cast as "club rock band" in an after school movie. Maybe I didn't go deep into their material but the name alone is contrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
