Rest in peace Scott...
He had a great voice but none of his music was ever that excellent. Poor guy will mostly be remembered for the inability to get a grip on his life
R. I. P. Man.
Dead and bloated

Weed did it
I'm genuinely upset about this. STP was one of the first bands that I got heavily into, and although I rarely listen to them anymore, they had a solid body of work. For almost ten years, I've kept a compilation of STP songs that I made in my car visor as an "all-purpose emergency CD" because of how diverse they were. I know they're best-known for the crunchy, radio-friendly jock jams from early in their career, but it was the experimental, psychedelic mid-work that always found its way into CD's I'd make for crushes. Then there was the later, largely unknown material that was gentle, sometimes devastatingly frail-sounding and made you worry about the singer. I saw them live when I had the chance, knowing full well I may not get another since the fact that he was still alive was a bit of a punchline. Everyone knew this was going to happen, it was only a matter of when. R.I.P. Scott. You went farther than anyone could have believed. Thanks for the music you left.
>>60796449
pretty sad to hear
>>60797836
Yeah it's pretty good, that's definitely my favorite album from them.
>>60796449
Literally who?
he was dead for over ten years already
>>60797996
RIP
Finally emo is dead.

I'm pretty dowɴ about this, even though he was a bit of a cReep he will still leave a ʙJG emptʏ hole in the music industry.

STP was better than Pearl Jam. It should be Vedder reaching room temperature. There is no God.

>tfw 23 and have his hairline
just fuck my shit up familia
god i just tried listening to an STP song. this is even worse than i remember. what a terrible band.
>>60798352
About as shitty as Pearl Jam and those other overrated 90's angsty grunge bands. Can't say I really care for this guy's death, either.
>>60796449
Man as shitty as it is, it's one of the least surprising deaths. Guys been fucked up for decades, he might have been clean for a year or two during his VR days, but that never stuck
>>60797996
>I know they're best-known for the crunchy, radio-friendly jock jams from early in their career
Plush...mang, that song is the 90s.
Guess he won't be rejoining STP after Chester jumped ship to go back to his shitty band.
>>60797614
This. He was more famous for being a mess than being a musician.
LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH
ltrlly who
>>60798176
stop that
>>60798224
>old man
he was 48, not even middle aged
>>60798612
Middle age is generally reckoned to be in your 40s with the average life expectancy of a white male being 76. So yeah, it really isn't normal to die before at least your 60s.
Everybody saw it coming. Dude wasn't capable of living his life without heroin. Still sad, though.
>>60798624
even then only if you're fat or have some genetic problem
i consider anything below 75 to be before really dying "naturally"
>>60798612
>>60798624
i just turned 40 this past summer and man this is truly sad that he passed i listned to STP as a teen along with other grunge bands but they were one of my favorites
Literally who?
>>60798624
Don't know where you're getting your information but 50 is generally considered middle-aged. That's why it's called "over the hill."
He's leavinnnn' on a southern train only yesterday, he die-high-highed
>>60797996
Why the fuck did the Linkin Park man replace him? In what universe did they think that was a good idea?
>>60798677
>I'm 12 and what is this.
https://youtu.be/xnWGJoPvQ5U
>>60798693
Honestly? He had the range and tone for it. I dug the EP he did with them, it sounded like they went more for the rockers of Core than the slower Plush/Creep numbers. Granted it probably would have been tiring for a whole album.
>>60798693
Chester was a huge STP fan so he thought it was his dream come true to be in the band...until he found that they didn't want to produce any new material with him and only cared about playing Greatest Hits setlists, so he finally got bored and left.
>>60798352
He was better with Velvet Revolver tbqh fa.m
>>60798715
Good. Don't need that angsty faggot in there.
>>60798713
>Plush isn't a rocker
It's a slow rocker, but a bonafide riff-driven rocker nonetheless. Creep...definitely not a rocker.
>>60798718
>He was better with Velvet Revolver tbqh fa.m
Slither was probably the last great big rocker song. That whole genre has disappeared since
No one mentioned his stinth with Velvet Revolver,they made some decent music as well.
RIP Scott.
>>60798724
I guess, I just never considered it one. Granted I never really liked the song. Crackerman and Sex Type Thing was my shit
>>60798727
Yeh after 2005, mainstream rock just went ppppppppfffffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttttttt....
>>60798696
I'm 26 but never much cared for that kind of sound, nirvana themselves were 2 hit wonders anyway.
>>60798768
>nirvana themselves were 2 hit wonders anyway.
haha
>>60798755
>I guess, I just never considered it one
Oh well, Just Saiyan that nobody ever said Black Sabbath's super-slow 60 bpm songs like Into The Void weren't rockers either.
>>60798775
Right?

>>60798612
>48x2=96
>not even halfway to middle age
math son
those fucking kiddos. Without him (and a few others) the musinc didn't die in the 90'
>>60798817
Since the average life expectancy of white males is 76, middle age begins roughly at 35.
Literally who?
>>60798750
>>60798727
his voice had changed so much when he was with them but still made it work.
you can hear his voice change from core to purple and then by the time they did tiny music all gruffness to it was gone. He still did some great soft numbers that showcase his voice quite well I think, and as another anon said you can feel the frailty to it
this might be my personal favourite

>>60798755
Honestly, I never liked Wicked Garden. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.
>>60798838
Bullshit.
>>60798854
>you can hear his voice change from core to purple and then by the time they did tiny music all gruffness to it was gone
The gruff voice he does on Core was just a blatant Eddie Vedder impersonation and he quit doing that on subsequent albums.

ITT: a bunch of kids who can't like STP because it's popular even though it's better than the beta indie and meme rap that they listen to.
>>60798838
Scott at the end looked awful if you'd seen pics of hom, much more like a guy in his 70s than his 40s.
>>60798926

>>60798926
There's nothing wrong with enjoying buttrock. Doesn't make it good though.
Seriously, how can Keith Richards and Ozzy last this long? They should have been dead 30-40 years ago from the stuff they did.
I wonder how old his liver was.
What does this have to do with music?
>>60798948
It's been said that Keith only used pharmaceutical-grade cocaine.
>>60798940
from wikipedia
> STP went on to become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1990s, selling nearly 40 million records worldwide
Great man. Saw him four times. He was a mess onstage but he knew how to be a showman. And his versatility as a singer was always impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe7m1VzD2Fk
In a perfect world he would have been a country rock musician in the 80s.

Strange how fans of a tier 3 grunge band barely discussed here have all of sudden appeared here.
It's like when that nu metal guy died earlier this year
>Worshiping a loser.
He's as famous as Anna Nicole Smith--actually, less so.
>>60798998
I made an STP thread last night buttfaggot.
>>60798998
WHOAH
One day after the world gets to hear what Kid Cudi did to grunge, a grunge icon dies.
This shit is too sad, man.
>>60798998
because this is full of miley teens wanting to suck on her BBC strapon like you now head off to school you lil faggot

u dun goofed chile
>>60798993
Yeah, because we all know that the majority of people alive in the 90s who enjoy STP are dead now...
>>60799006
when Anna Nicole Smith writes a song as brilliant as Atlanta we can have all the Anna Nicole Smith threads you want you little faggot.

We're grieving in our own way. Have respect.

>>60799021
I can't wait to see the reaction when chad kroeger or chester bennington dies. It'll be exactly the same as this thread. Fans of shit bands suddenly coming out of the woodwork since it's safe to announce their shit taste.

I wonder what happens if one of the Motley Crue guys died (most likely Mick Mars because he has pretty serious health issues). Then we'd have 150 Motley Crue fans magically appear on /mu/ despite that kind of band always being treated as a bad joke here.
>>60799064
Like comparing Scott Weiland to some talentless whore who fucked a rich old man.

>>60798926
No, people don't like it because it was a constant disappointment held back by a depressing frontman who couldn't get his life together.

I thought people like you died in 1994 with the rest of the "MUH ROCK CRED" faggots.
I heard he was raped as a child and that's why he did drugs.
Anyone who needs to get high to create "art" doesn't deserve full credit.
>>60799102
Looks That Kill - also classic.
>>60799118
i dont care if you like it or not but its funny to me how you burst in here like a whiny child all upset that people are talking about a musician who just died

As in, "nobody knows"?
>>60799129
And as I said before, Scott only imitated Eddie Vedder's vocals on Core and didn't sing like that on any subsequent albums.
>>60799157
I know it and I don't even like Motley Crue.
>>60799148
funny haha or funny strange
>>60799143
find good art from someone that didn't use drugs
>>60799148
Some people used his music. His music saved my life so fuck yeah I'm sad
>>60799143
Welp, there goes a good 98% of the best musicians.
>>60799162
so what's your point? they got famous because of Scott's singing alone? there were other members of the band too you know. The DeLeo brothers > Mike McCreedy and Jeff Ament
>>60799148
Im not upset, I just noticed that people are suddenly praising his music even though they hated it before. Apparently this triggers people for some reason
>>60799154
swap no.4 and core and you got a deal
>>60799164
Everybody knows "Girls Girls Girls."
Nobody will remember Weiland. He tried to be deep but was just a junkie loser.
>>60799168

>>60799189
its true though
>>60799184
>Nobody will remember Weiland. He tried to be deep but was just a junkie loser.
Nigga they still play Interstate Love Song on radio all the time
>>60799181
I love Atlanta, Glide, Sour Girl, and Down too much to do that. Core has way too much filler like Piece of Pie, No Memory, and Wet My Bed.
>>60799196
>listens to the radio
Wow, you really have high standards for your art appreciation.
>>60799180
except thats bullshit, every now and then there has been stp threads where people discuss their favorite albums and songs.
>>60799196
Don't forget Plush - both versions get constant play. I also still hear Big Empty constantly.
>>60799206
Are we talking about art appreciation or whether people will remember his music?
>>60799201
atlanta is my fav stp song but i just found core to be a bit more consistent. piece of pie is great imo
check this performance, its vintage scott and rob deleo nails the bass

So? We're not talking about the artistic impact he's left, we're talking whether people will know his songs. And considering that they're still fucking played, yeah they probably will
>>60799218
Well, if you can't do both you have your problem right there.
>>60799206

>>60799291
Considering what actively gets discussed on this board (mostly shit) I think it's a good thing they weren't discussed often.
>>60799294
Thank you for agreeing his music is not impressive.
>>60799302
Then where are these fans coming from if they aren't regularly discussed here?
>>60799263
So?
>>60799292
Considering that drugs took out Hillel Slovak, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Brian Jones before they were 30.
>>60799291
jeez you really are a rhodes scholar aren't you
I said 'every now and then'
What do you expect from a band that's put out 1 album since 2001 and most of their well known works are 20 years ago
>>60799208
I wonder how much he earned in royalties from those songs. The guy who did Baker Street was earning $100k+ per year from that song alone when he died.
>>60799310
Newsflash: The singer just died. So people are going to talk about the band when they otherwise wouldn't. Get over it. When the lead singer of Warrant died, guess what I did? I made a Warrant thread and discussed GASP their music!

>>60799313
Jones died in a pool.
>>60799327
>one in a sea of millions
>>60799324
Probably not that much. Scott wasn't Axl Rose so he didn't hold the rights to the name hostage. I imagine the four of them got equal shares.
>>60799321
Every now and then implies regular occurences. Once a month at least.
>>60799313
Meanwhile, Keith Richards is still kicking
>>60799336
Quite sober, I hear.
>>60799339
exactly
>>60799333
Even Jami Lane would tell you to go shit in your hat.
>>60799324
dunno but i'm fairly certain scott was in JUST territory in regards to money. iirc in an interview he mentioned alimony obligations keep him touring which would be why he kept touring with whatever shit players he could find after stp booted him and why he looked so tired on stage all the time.
another death by alimony
>>60799349

quality post
Like you said, they're best known for the heavy shit from Core like Sex Type Thing and Plush, and Piece of Pie and Where the River Goes are 2 of my favorite songs from them, but to me songs like Still Remains from Purple and Sour Girl from No. 4 were where they really shined. Weiland had an amazing gift for melody that I'd put on par with the Beach Boys, who we all know he was a huge fan of. Come to think of it, this is another guy that Brian Wilson has somehow outlived.
I still remember listening to Plush on Radio X in San Andreas while I played pool in one of those dive bars.
Time flies.
>>60799376
There's no way you can know that.
>>60799376
So, you're saying Weiland was basic. Got it
Senior year of high school, just got my driver's license, shitty Volvo station wagon, bunch of burned CDs. one of them was Tiny Music. Seven Caged Tigers, And So I Know, Lady Picture Show- constantly playing that whole year. I love that album. RIP.
>>60799393
most noted artists were known to have used some drugs. this isnt new news
>>60798256
He didn't fly so good!
>>60799382
Brian Wilson?
>>60799395
i dont even care about stp but >>60799143

i don't like his music much but that's still sad. R.I.P.
>>60799387
Scott Weiland and Billy Corgan were masters at crafting pop hooks dressed up in psychedelia. Both those guys deserve much more credit than they get.
>>60799387
>Weiland had an amazing gift for melody that
I dunno; I've heard better.
>>60799405
There's still no way you can possibly know how rare non-drug related creation of art is. You're talking just to talk.
>>60799395
>he fears of being "basic" and "common like the others"
spotted the highschooler. pay atention to class, underage turd.
>>60799431
except its noted in media and has been for a long time soooooooooo............
>>60799426
>Scott Weiland and Billy Corgan were masters at crafting pop hooks dressed up in psychedelia
Well, that's because 60s-70s nostalgia was "in" during the 90s. Scott outright said that Core was inspired by Led Zeppelin in that "the tracks on the album all tell one continuous story".
>>60798916
>that video
oh what the fuck come on this is just sad
and in the comments there's a 3 week old comment, unedited, saying "RIP Weiland. Too bad you couldn't beat the drugs."
the fuck...
>>60799426
And they ended up being in two bands that basically kept rock alive during the 90s.
Then it all went to shit, and we have current Foos

>>60799506

why? artists say they use drugs. why believe ian and not others? why on earth do you think many artists dont use drugs? its been a common theme since art has been a thing
>>60799459
>And they ended up being in two bands that basically kept rock alive during the 90s.
Or, more accurately kept it alive in mid-decade when Cobain was dead, Pearl Jam gave up writing commercial material, Alice In Chains broke up, and RHCP became irrelevant without John Frusciante.
After 96, pop punk and nu metal revived mainstream rock, but there was a hole between Cobain's death and the rise of Limp Bizkit. Smashing Pumpkins and STP filled it.

Keith emphasized over and over again in his book about the pharmaceutical-grade aspect.
He was like, 'yeah, I literally only used the finest pharmaceutical grade stuff you could possibly procure and measured it so carefully every single time it was crazy'
Regardless, something about his makeup is special.

I am song sick of watching my favorite song get butchered year after year. I love Scott. I love Stevie. I love Brian. I have nothing against Bono or Billie. This performance is just terrible.
Hell I've watched some of my most beloved artists of all time butcher Beatles songs. It rarely if ever goes well.
>>60799527

>R.I.P.
He doesn't exist anymore. He's dead. The only reason you're sad is it reminds you that you're going to die too.
>>60799525
I feel you, I was too. It's like they focused way too much on the mini series (which was good) and the gimmick of having a musician from each city's scene and not enough on the quality of the songs themselves.
At least he died doing what he loved ... drugs.
>>60799518
If you can believe every whisper about alleged artist drug use by the media then wouldn't it stand to reason that I can believe that Ian doesn't use drugs or drink based on what people say around him and what he says himself? Anyway, you're trying to change the subject. You asked for an artist that doesn't do drugs and I provided one.
>>60799436
Thanks for not disagreeing.
>>60799523
>Smashing Pumpkins and STP filled it.
Green Day anyone? I'm pretty sure Dookie and Insomniac were important rock albums during this period.
>>60799571
>allegedly
but yes, he is one. still the initiating post is dumb and clearly most artists use drugs at least to some degree
>>60799580
Certainly created more of an impact.
>>60799582
If I had fans like you I would do drugs, too.
>>60799527
It's a miracle! Christ can fill me with his liquid and I will become pure!
>>60799584
I see where you're going. In the long run, those were more important albums because of Green Day's 2000s resurgence while STP and SP both died with the 90s.
>>60799595
honestly you probably wouldnt have fans without drugs so don't fret over the idea
>>60799603
SP's splash exponentially bigger.
>>60799566
Isn't that reason to be sad enough? What about not being able to hear more new music from him?
>>60796449
Did he or his bands ever make any good music bros?
>>60799609
Thanks for not contesting the fact that you would cause somebody to use drugs to put up with yourself.
>>60799549
so sick*
>>60799617
He hasn't made "good" music since the 90s. Get over it.
>>60799621
other way around friend. thanks for showing you understood nothing
>>60799510
I thought it was alright. It's just a bunch of quirky characters singing a song together. Everyone sang well enough.
>>60799636
Thanks for using all of my rhetoric.
I count about two people on /mu/ who know any of his songs.
>>60799612
Mellon Collie was a huge, blockbuster Led Zeppelin IV-tier album while Insomniac couldn't come close to that, but as I said Smashing Pumpkins didn't outlast the 90s while Green Day came back in the following decade with an album that did become LZIV huge.
At least he went out better than Layne Staley
>On April 19, 2002, Staley's accountants contacted Staley's former manager Susan Silver and informed her that no money had been withdrawn from the singer's bank account in two weeks. Silver then contacted Staley's mother Nancy McCallum, who placed a call with 911 to say she hadn't heard from him "in about two weeks."[42] The police went with McCallum and her ex-husband to Staley's home, "When police kicked in the door to Layne Staley's University District apartment on April 19, there, laying on a couch, lit by a flickering TV, next to several spray-paint cans on the floor, not far from a small stash of cocaine, near two crack pipes on the coffee table, holding a fully loaded syringe in his right hand, and the syringe in his leg, reposed the remains of the rock legend." It was reported that the 6 ft Staley weighed only 86 pounds (39 kg) when his body was discovered. [43]
>>60799634
Shangri-La Di Da came out in 2001.

>>60799196
this
I hear STP several times a week. My fucking 20 year old co worker was blasting them on his phone the other night. They're regularly mentioned on "Greatest" lists.
They're not even my favorite "grunge" band (AiC) but come the fuck on, they're undeniably legendary.
>>60799641
no worries. glad you see it as simply rhetoric and not fact
>>60799651
Shit man that always makes me sad.
>>60799663
No worries for using my rhetoric? I wasn't worried.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT I CANT BELIEVE THIS

Or Korn's first two albums. Again though, Korn remained hot through the whole first half of the 2000s so the long term impact of Life Is Peachy was greater.

>>60799658
In SP's case, it had less to do with drugs than Billy Corgan being a cockbag who ruined the band and caused them to break up.
>>60799651
He lived right above a bar, the owner said he would come down drink alone in the corner, and its where he probably met his dealer to get drugs nearly everyday.
Also he supposedly was so bad off, that he had stomach problems and shit his pants frequently. Sad as shit
>>60799673
>better to be newer than good
STP-fanbase taste here, folks.
>>60799683
Courtney caused the break-up.

What's the one hit: Plush, Creep, Interstate Love Song, Big Empty, or Sour Girl?
>>60799679
Yet they've sold yearly 30 million albums. Nirvana was technically only a two hit wonder band, right? It's like discrediting Peter O'Toole's career because he never won an Oscar.
>>60799689
>shit his pants frequently
Well, he'd been shitting in people's ears for almost a decade.
>>60799689
And Layne was only 34 when he went, so Scott managed to last 14 years longer than that. And still performing to the end while Layne was basically a hermit when he died.
>>60799649
Thanks to Mellon Collie, Pumpkins were basically the biggest band on the planet in 95. Then it went to shit when Chamberlin got arrested and left the band. They never recovered from that
Don't do drugs kids.
>>60799696
Courtney did not break up every band in the 90's, anon.
>>60799710
Nobody knows the names except sycophants.
People probably more recognize the sound. Actually picturing the band is nauseating.
"In Layne’s last interview with Argentinean writer Adriana Rubio he sounded like he was pretty much done(with life), that he knew somewhere deep inside that he was not going to make it. The conversation took place less than three months before he died from an overdose of heroin and cocaine, revealing a broken man, who, at 34 years old had given up the will to live. Staley tells the interviewer, “I know I’m dying, I’m not doing well. Don’t try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.”
Layne continues, “This fucking drug use is like the insulin a diabetic needs to survive, I’m not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh–. It’s a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I’m throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It’s the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body"
>>60799707
That's okay. You can still exhibit characteristics of something without actually being it.

Scott Weiland destroyed the reputation. They're a *cringe* band.
>>60799718
I was born in 88, so I first became consciously aware of music in around 98-99. I remember Creed, Blink 182, and RHCP having their big comeback, but didn't hear anyone talk about SP even when it was still the 90s. Their downfall after 96 was incredibly fast.
>>60799722
>I don't like them so they didn't have any hits and nobody remembers them!
anon seriously, pls
>>60799724
what the fug
>>60799427
>says he's heard better
>won't list any of them
I didn't say he was some kind of god, but yeah his melodies and harmonies on Purple, Tiny Music and No. 4 were exceptional. Atlanta and Sour Girl in particular.
>>60799724
>TRY TO SEE IT ONCE MY WAYAAYAAAAAYHAAAYEEEAAAYYYYY

Hey it's like trying to argue with 1D fans!
>>60799730
lol yeah ok, just to prove you right
whatever you need, baby
>>60799738
The reputation of being a widely beloved band whose music is still praised and constantly played to this day?
>>60799724
can someone do a copypasta of this with justin beieber
>>60799760
You can't fight the facts, they exist whether you deny their existence or not.
>>60799749
For example, Judas Priest were unbeatable for melody although that was probably due to Rob being a walking pair of lungs. It's easy when you had his sheer range and power.
>>60799799
I'm surprised you respect boy bands. Who knew?
>>60799736

>>60799724

>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
>>60799783
Such relative connotations and listening to the radio is a dubious measure of "success."

Did you know that John Frusciante was homeless for a while, had to get skin grafts to repair the needle damage on his arms, and lost a bunch of teeth.
I'm surprised none of the hater faggots ITT quoted the Pavement song yet.
>>60799459
The past 2 Alice in Chains albums have been pretty fuckin solid though. They're the only one of the old guard who's power level, while maybe not as high as it was during Dirt and the self titled one, is still enough to churn out good songs that are worth listening to. They sound like a natural maturation of what they did at their peak.
Meanwhile Soundgarden, STP, Pearl Jam, and others are just...meh now. RHCP hit a few rough spots but Stadium Arcadium is one of their strongest albums and it was released well into the 2000's. But now I feel like they're sort of meh too.
>>60799810
I know, right? People can listen to and appreciate different kinds of music. Isn't that weird? What a crazy world we live in.
>>60799810
What's wrong with boy bands ? They make money and fuck bitches as much as they want. Can't say the same about you, the fat neckbeard living in his mother's basement ;)
>>60799843
<<<hug>>>
>>60799847
I'm glad you like them.
>>60799838
Linkin Park, now they have matured quite a bit. Their recent songs sound nothing at all like Meteora.
The ultimate band for betas pretending to be alphas.
>>60799742
It literally was. They're a band that went from having a relatively niche following from Gish, to hitting mainstream with Today in 93-94, to releasing Mellon Collie and becoming the biggest band in the world at the time in 95. Then 96 comes around, Melvoin ODs, Chamberlin gets arrested and leaves the band and BAM, they're pretty much cooked as a musical unit. Adore comes out in 98 but by then the damage was already done, they were fucked hard by the lack of Chamberlin.
Which is why Corgan keeps bringing him back
>>60799847
Well, this is step one to accepting the fact that your a faggot
>>60799838
>The past 2 Alice in Chains albums have been pretty fuckin solid though
TDPDH was one of the biggest snoozefests I've had the opportunity to sit through.

>>60799823
Jesus, this has got to be bait. What's your measure of "success" if you don't count recognition, exposure and acclaim?
What the fuck has Trump got to do with anything?
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
>>60799870
I feel like the only "rock" Linkin Park album was Minutes to Midnight.
Although that's probably biased since it's the only album of theirs I like

Some people measure success by "value." Something that's actually good either within or without other measurements of success.
However that doesn't fit on your autistic lists.

You've been ironically, boringly clean.
>>60799912
You're talking about dubious """"""relative connotations""""" and I can picture you raising your fat, dorito stained fingers to the air as you say this, and THEN you start talking about """""value""""" as something objective. Whether music is """"good"""" or not is pretty much always subjective. STP were "good" because lots of subjective individuals enjoyed their music, as well as professional critics who can assess it from a more objective viewpoint.
tl;dr
Don't come here jue to talk about how you think they were shit on the day Scott dies. That's just low
>>60799939

>all music is good because it's subjective
nice argument
>>60799884
I thought it was solid, although I guess the fact that several songs were surprisingly bright and "happy", at least for AiC, could be interpreted by some as boring. It seemed like Low Ceiling, Voices, Scalpel, etc were channeling the brightness of No Excuses. But maybe it was too much light fare for one AiC album.
But Hollow, Stone, etc were heavy as fuck.

>I've kept a compilation of STP songs that I made in my car visor as an "all-purpose emergency CD" because of how diverse they were
There is this little neighbor kid (10 years old) who does chores for my parents after they retired to a small town and they spoil him rotten as their little helper monkey.
He just discovered STP as his new favorite band and he was making mix CDs for everyone because he is a little music nerd and wanted to tell the world about this "new" band.
I was handed a CD on Saturday while I was out there to listen to on my drive home and it had been about 10 years since I heard some of these songs. It had the usual radio songs like creep, vasoline, etc but also some B-Sides and overlooked later stuff.
Still weird for a 10 year old to suddenly discover STP as his new favorite band though.
>>60799689
>I ran into him out in the University District. He looked like an eighty-year-old version of himself. His skin was grey, dark circles under his eyes. He had already lost a finger or two from his veins collapsing and not getting enough circulation into his hands. He started losing teeth. I remember seeing him from a distance, and I thought, "That’s the oldest punk rocker I’ve ever seen." He had Doc Martens on, pegged black jeans, black leather jacket. Stunk — oh my God he stunk. Barely recognized me, even though I’d known him for years. It was probably the last year of his life.
If you listen to the last recorded AIC songs like Get Born Again, Staley was singing with a noticeable lisp because his teeth had started to rot out.
