Towelie Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Can't they just continue on with a different name? STP without Scott is like Guns without Axl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Not sure if being on a reality show does much for his credibility but it's undeniable that the guy can sing. Great opportunity for the guy. Hopefully for him the DeLeo brothers can still write a decent tune for the guy to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If there was ever a "cursed" band to be lead singer of, STP would be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Dude has a great voice but that's not how you replace a legendary singer... He's going to get bullied by STP fans no matter how good his performances are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm just happy this means more STP. They've always seemed to do things in a really cool, underdog-type way. I hope working with Jeff is successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This lineup performing Down. Sounds good to me. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/stone-temple-pilots-new-singer-jeff-gutt/ Not sure if it was in the above FB write up as I cant see it, but apparently new single is expected today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 New single: Pretty good having listened to only the first half. His voice here, while not an exact copy, sounds a lot like Weiland. At least it sounds like he'll do justice to STP's back catalogue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 He deserves to be given a chance, like how Layne Staley had huge shoes to fill in Alice in Chains but William DuVall has been an excellent singer for the band since he joined years back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 New single is okay imo. Poppy and streamlined. If this type of sound was new from them Id be concerned about the Reality Show singer but even on the last two albums with Scott and the EP with Chester they were playing more in this style, to my ears. To be sure STP has always included pop influences, but to me the way they flirted with pop always had a meta artifice to it - like a kitten swatting around a mouse instead of attacking. I could see a kid have this on a playlist between Tailor Swift and One Direction. One of my favourite things in rock is when STP is back again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his bio, Gutt has a lot more experience than just the X-Factor. He's fronted bands for years. STP was "ok" to me, and this stuff sounds promising.

ZoSoRose Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 New song is average in every way imo Dude sounds way too much like Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I have no doubt whatsoever that this guy can perform the back catalog. I saw a video of him doing acoustic "Plush" and it was close in a very spooky way. BUT.... Scott was a tremendous writer in his glory days. His lyrics were deep and profound, even. Judging by this new single, the guy can't measure up. He's got the right idea as far as singing dynamics (soft to hard, deep to high) but even Chester understood what Scott's formula for a great song entails, so.... It will come down to the synergy the band brings to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Quite happy with the new single, definitely a lead vocalist. Hopefully since he's been through X Factor, he'll have himself a bit more media-ready and generally together than Scott did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pishy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Scott can never be replaced. Scott wasn't a cheesy Hollywood celeb or talentless hack who needed to 'perform' for the cameras. He made music and sang , that was his performance, he was an outstanding frontman . No clue what the X factor is but sure sounds like another reality tv singing show, I'm sure good clowns can be molded from it but hardly what anyone who likes STP would be interested in. Not everyone wants Justin Bieber . they could have found a singer the way it used to happen but I guess it's one way to sell out and get media attention which clearly seems to work with those who can't think for themselves a replacement being better than Scott in any manner is Edited November 15, 2017 by Pishy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) First song meadow is ok but maybe it will grow on me more. Sounds like he will kill the older songs though. His voice is very simular to Scott. Edited November 15, 2017 by vloors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does a cheesy Hollywood celeb have to do with anything? What about him reminds you of Justin Bieber? If I like the new lead singer, but the band didn't find him in your imaginary "way it used to happen", then I can't think for myself. Interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Song isn't terrible, but the production sucks out whatever life it actually had. Sounds like it was recorded in a Pepsi bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 His voice is a perfect fit for the material. It’s difficult to replace Scott because to do so you have to be unhinged and always on the verge of enetering rehab, but this guy gets the singing right without the rest of the baggage. At their age, that’s fine for the STP guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it was recorded in a Pepsi bottle. The DeLeo's work has suffered considerably since they've begun producing their own material. They had a really good thing with Brendan O'Brien for years, but it seems they enjoy producing as much as playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Cats like this, they might have a voice, but usually that's it. 9 times out of 10 they actually don't have the X factor. The song writing, the personality, the stage presence. Gut reaction is that's how he is. And he sounds way too much like Scott, sounds more like a straight up imitator. I'm a big fan of STP and the DeLeo's but just not loving this. They were better off going after someone like Chester, someone who could pull off the STP songs but still sounded a little different from Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
