Scott Weiland was the best frontman I have ever seen live. The man knew how to control an audience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hPJhkUHtRo
>>60811648
I felt much sadder when Staley died even though it was more predictable than Weiland.
He was a talented singer but no one really talked about STP post-2000. It still hits me in the feels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWGJoPvQ5U
Still a 10/10 song desu senpai.
>>60812248
>He was a talented singer but no one really talked about STP post-2000.
Not to be that guy but I and a good portion of my acquaintances still respect STP and even went to see them when they got back together briefly. Shangri-La Di Da is a pretty good album too.
>>60812248
I disagree, Mainstream rock/alternative stations still have songs like Plush, Interstate Love Song, Vasoline, Sex Type Thing, and Wicked Garden in regular rotation. People still remember STP.
>>60812295
I get what you mean I was just implying that they faded out of the mainstream eye because of all the buttrock bands that came out during that era.
It honestly would've been a pleasure to see these guys live back in the early to mid 90s instead of seeing Weiland on his last legs
The best grunge band?
sure
>>60812451
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Nah.
Good, but not the best.
>>60812345
Hell I even hear the really offbeat singles like Big Bang Baby, Tumble in the Rough, Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart, and Sour Girl (I know that song was huge at its time but it's still weird to hear it today)
>>60812476

You mean alive
Having just woken to the news of this passing, I feel compelled to put pen to paper and pay my respects to Scott. And in that I will not pretend to know more than I know, or add some sad homily to how he loved his life. At least in that, may I now say he is undoubtedly in the arms of grace and eternal love.
May I also offer my humble condolences to his family, friends, and band mates; who have, and are, suffering this great loss. For when anyone as vaunted leaves far too soon, we mourn all that might have been.
As any fan, I find myself reflecting on what I do have in my own treasure chest: in scarce moments where Scott and I spoke as contemporaries or competitors, and got to know each as people other past the footlights and shadows we were so busy casting to the world. It may seem trite in reflection, but I'd try to make him giggle when I saw that the manic whirl of the dumb parties we were at (in Hollywood, no less!) might be causing undue stress.
It was, I'd guess you'd say, my way of apology for having been so critical of STP when they appeared on the scene like some crazy, man-fueled rocket. And not only was the knight up front freshly handsome to a fault, but he could sing too! As any supreme actor gives a real and different voice to each character played.
It was STP's 3rd album that had got me hooked, a wizardly mix of glam and post-punk, and I confessed to Scott, as well as the band many times, how wrong I'd been in assessing their native brilliance. And like Bowie can and does, it was Scott's phrasing that pushed his music into a unique, and hard to pin down, aesthetic sonicsphere.
Lastly, I'd like to share a thought which though clumsy, I hope would please Scott In Hominum. And that is if you asked me who I truly believed were the great voices of our generation, I'd say it were he, Layne, and Kurt.
So it goes beyond tragedy to say it is we who lost them, and not the other way round...
>>60812802
Based Billy
What did Malkmus mean when he called him an elegant bachelor?
>Dear Scott,
>Let us start by saying thank you for sharing your life with us. Together we crafted a legacy of music that has given so many people happiness and great memories. The memories are many, and they run deep for us.
>We know amidst the good and the bad you struggled, time and time again. It’s what made you who you were. You were gifted beyond words, Scott. Part of that gift was part of your curse.
>With deep sorrow for you and your family, we are saddened to see you go.
All of our love and respect.
>We will miss you brother,
>Robert, Eric, Dean
That's fucking it?! Wow. It's like they couldn't even be bothered to pay respects to the man who literally made them famous. Meanwhile Billy Corgan writes a fucking essay.
>>60812940
That they were pretty boys trying to be "hardcore". He also called Smashing Pumpkins pretentious in so many words. Fuck Pavement, I'm glad Billy Corgan blackballed their career.

Malkmus was right.
>>60813152
To be fair, I feel like the Pumpkins wouldn't have been as good as they were if Billy wasn't a pretentious prick. It's what allowed him to experiment with his music.
>>60813152
At least they tried, something Pavement never ever did. They were too cool to try. That's why their career didn't pan out to anything other than a couple footnotes. At least Smashing Pumpkins made Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream. Slanted & Enchanted and that other album were wet farts.
>>60812994
Billy, go away. Malkmus was dissing your star status, not your music. In fact, he actually likes some of your music.
>>60813304
I hop he likes McDonalds cheeseburgers because that's all he'll be able to afford soon enough.
And really: If I was actually Billy Corgan, you'd be sucking my e-dick right now.
>>60813324
I'm pretty sure Stephen is doing fine with the Jicks. Even if he isn't one Pavement tour would solve any money problems that he has.
>If I was actually Billy Corgan, you'd be sucking my e-dick right now.
Not everyone on 4chan loves you, Billy.

>>60811648
Oh shit, I remember that thread. It is a pretty strange coincidence considering Weiland doesn't get mentioned a lot here.
>>60811648
Weiland started good, but he got worse and worse as time went on. The fact that I can enjoy all the singles of Core even though the radio kicks them to death day in and day out is testament to how good he is; even the most annoying repetition can't kill it for me.
Sad that he pretty much started on a downward spiral after Purple, but I guess that's the way the celebrity lifestyle will do you: some can handle it, some can't, and some just abuse the everloving fuck out of it like he did.

Why the rest of STP picked him to replace Weiland, out of all the singers they could have chosen, I'll never understand.
>>60815601
>>60815715
THHHEEEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOOORRRDSSSSSSS THHHHHHHHEEEEEYYYYYYYYY WIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT HEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL
>>60815544
I know the guy was influenced by Scott and all, but if there is a great beyond, seeing that this is the kind of shit his influence brought upon the world will probably make him turn in his grave instead of rest in peace. I know I wouldn't want to die knowing that a porn star-fucking manchild like Chester Bennington was brought to music by listening to my shit. I'd feel horrible if I wound up passing the torch to THAT, in my former band in life and in music at large in death.
>>60815715
They didn't give a fuck and wanted someone they could control. Scott wrecked the band because he had too much power.
>>60815780
Not to mention that the guy was easy, growing up with STP as one of his inspirations and all; he probably took the offer up instantly. Boom, someone you can control who's perfectly willing to kiss your ass.
>>60815769
Why do all nu metal has-beens end up fucking porn stars? Wayne Static did it, Jonathan Davis did it, even Chester managed to land one. Is it the money, or do porn stars really like whiney white guys with money and a huge following of angsty kids?
Core and Purple were the first 2 CDs I ever bought. STP was my shit. My sister listened to Pearl Jam and I knew those guys were fuckin fags and STP rockedtbhfam.
This was their best song btw:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdCEPhNBnrM
This was rad too.
Dean Deleo was super underrated, probably the most technically adept and also innovative guitarist of the popular grunge bands.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHfi4kGPFvc
>>60815859
Porn stars are to numetal as playboy centrefolds were to glam rock
>>60815887
Pearl Jam is overrated as fuck. I still like them though.
>>60813246
Yeah
Pavement blows so fucking bad. Every single song is a amorphous mush of vanilla sound who rode a wave of being critic darlings for a while. Fuck those guys.
>>60815929
whats the difference between playboy centerfolds and porn stars?
>>60815993
Tattoos?
>>60815780
Dead Deleo stated over and over that they wanted Weiland to be their singer but he had basically left earth and was a complete loon and impossible to work with because of how fucked on drugs he was everytime they tried to get him back in the band.
>>60815993
Porn stars get paid to fuck on screen and make a bunch of noise; Playboy centerfolds get paid to pose nude in erotic positions. They are the "classy" alternative.
Kind of like how nu metal is down, dirty, and ugly while cock metal was slick, clean, and cookie-cutter as the blond-haired blue-eyed chicks who used to rule Playboy.
>>60814619
It feels so weird making that thread not knowing he was gonna die the next day. Shit's crazy, senpai.
>>60813118
Why? You weren't wrong. At the time anyway.
>>60812994
Yeah but didn't Pavement end up getting along with STP while Corgan is still being a bitch about it?
>>60811648
>>60816290
>tfw degenerate has become such a meme word that its actual definition can't be used seriously anymore
>>60816290
Shut up, degenerate.
I don't like post-grunge at all and think bands like Creed/Nickelback/Lifehouse/etc. should have never existed but I've always thought STP were pretty good. Sure they're kinda generic and kinda similar to that shit and the Bush/Foo Fighters/etc. shit but they knew how to make catchy pop rock, had good guitar work, and while the vocals weren't original they were great rock vocals that fit the lyrics/sound. Good band. Tiny Music is their best. They actually kinda do something different and move towards a more 60s direction rather than Pearl Jam lite.
I never liked Tiny Music
I guess it sounds a bit more 'indie' than the more hard rockish polished grunge of the first two so it probably gets more cred...
I remember digging the riffs but I remember getting it and you could hear how fucked up Weiland was at that point in how he sang on it, all kinda high pitched, weak voiced and off.
>>60813324
Suck my e-gina, fascist.
>>60815657
No.
I refused to be judgemental so God gave me those angelic trips as a sign.
>>60817423
My teacher said he liked Core and Tiny Music more than Purple. Purple is just so good though fammm.
>>60813118
It was pretty savage at the moment though... and correct.

some people die before their heart stops beating
I was watching videos of Daniel Darc from a few months before he died and he was pretty much a hollow shell of a person. Balding, big gut, pretty much totally late mumbling of the lyrics to his songs that he used to sing with energy.
sad part for weiland is the whole business with his wife and that honestly a lot of people saw it coming from a mile away as in multiple years before
>>60811853
Holy shit I was the last post in that thread. I completely forgot there was a thread about him the day before.

>>60820287
*immediatly after song ends crackerman starts*
Core was such a badass album.
Scott Weiland was killed by his wife for insurance money.
>>60811648
It feels really different and kind of weird looking at pictures of him now, knowing I'm looking at a dead man.
he looked different when young. how? plastic surgery? dentistry?
>>60826328
He lost a lot of weight due to heroin addiction.
>>60826348
i gotta lose some weight then if it makes me look that much better
>>60826394

>>60815943
How does it feel to know that Teddy Cheddar will probably grow old and die naturally?
>>60813842
Yo, you sleepin on Paper Heart?
How the fuck could Scott sing all that grunge stuff but also do this shit.
https://youtu.be/zU1yA9ojiM0
>>60827986
Easy: He's not a "grunge" musician. Core only sounded "grungy" because everything else at the time sounded "grungy". In reality, if Core was released in 1990 or 1989 like it should have been, there would be no stigma.
>>60827986
He was surprisingly versatile; I don't think he really took advantage of his talent as much as he could have. I'm not an STP fan at all but I think his contributions were great.
I mean listen to this, he sounds like a better version of David Bowie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe7m1VzD2Fk
>>60827986
It's because he was a very talented singer who loved multiple different styles. I've always loved when he let out his softer side, because he didn't let it out as often.
>>60828432
Makes sense because David Bowie was his main influence. It's a shame he wasn't as intelligent or else his career might have gone the same way.
>>60828512
Bad taste is a major problem. STP's songs were very well written (except for maybe the lyrics). If they didn't lean so heavily in a butt rock direction they could have been great.
>>60828646
>If they didn't lean so heavily in a butt rock direction
That was only their first album though, if at all. When I think buttrock I think something like Matchbox 20 or Bush, shit with lyrics like SHOULD I FLY TO LOS ANGELES, FIND MY ASSHOLE BROTHER. Core is closer to Led Zeppelin than Pearl Jam.
>>60828646
Buttrock is more like Theory of a Deadman. STP have nothing to do with that kind of rock.
>>60828706
Bush consistently had the most retarded lyrics in the history of music.
>>60829385

>>60830332
What do you mean "attractive" and when are you referring to exactly? OP's pic is from 1993. This pic is from 1998. As you can see: He lost a fair amount of weight, he started shaving, he dressed in more form-fitting attire, and he dyed his hair black
>>60830381
He looks good in this video though >>60827986
he got replaced in the 90s.
real scott is already dead.
>>60830414
Because he was sober at the time I believe. I think he didn't fall back off the wagon until 2012 or 2013. The last two years are really sad.
>>60830487
Why would they replace a wide-eyed youth (25 when Core was released) with a junkie who took to the stage in a Nazi uniform fairly often?
>>60830533
because the junkie looked better
>>60830268
This keeps getting better and better. How have I never heard a song of theirs before?
>>60830817
You probably don't listen to the radio. They still play their four or five hits constantly in the states https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOllF3TgAsM
>>60830870
I don't, but I've heard other butt rock bands before. I've known Bush existed for a long time, but somehow all their songs escaped me. Maybe it's for the best. Listening now though I assume just about anyone who wasn't a fan wrote them off as Nirvana ripoffs?
>>60831068
Yeah, but I've encountered quite many people who detest all post grunge (even STP) and would still praise Bush. I think it's because they're British so the fact that some Brits imitated Nirvana and Pearl Jam for success is somewhat endearing to Americans? I don't know, their music was average but the lyrics were always TERRIBLE as you could probably see. Where STP got a bad rap (still does) Bush seemed to get a pass for being derivative, at least for their first album.
>>60831183
Huh, that's a shame. Especially since STP wrote a lot of great music and it sounds pretty clear Bush was probably just trying to hit that Nirvana money.
>>60831183
You didn't even post the worst of them. "Swim" and "Bomb" are literally the worst lyrics ever written (and the songs are shit too). It's like they realized Nirvana could get away with nonsense stream of consciousness lyrics and then just started scribbling away inane idiocy.
These are my favorite bad lyrics ever:
thinning ice
14 hairdryers
swimming to you
flame on earth desire
poor on the rise
rich on the fall
this cripple's with you
fame is a whore

>>60827986
Because "all that grunge" consisted of basically one album, STP's debut Core.
Basically nothing after that can really be considered grunge.
He sang a little "grunge" but he was never, ever a grunge singer. And that's what made him so good.

tell me what that album did so amazingly that Murmer, Reckoning, Life's Rich Pageant, and Fables of the Reconstruction didn't already do. It does not deserve its status and you know it. I can understand Neutral Milk Hotel and their earnest mystique, but Pavement is so utterly useless.
I was listening to the radio on the way into work on Wednesday and the DJ said that when Scott Weiland played a show in Detroit about a year ago, he was the only person to get an interview with him. He said that interview went so badly that he promised he'd never air it. Who would have thought that Scott would die the next day.
>>60838711
It's literally people who have only heard Plush.
I don't think either ripped the other off, but there's better evidence for Vedder ripping off Weiland than vice versa. Supposedly he was in San Diego for a while when STP was still Mighty Joe Young, and they were known in the scene in that area by that time.
MJY pre dates Vedder's singing career, and Weiland has the same kind of style on their first demos from 1990.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8VROjKDiBs
same style as on Core, but pre dating Vedder's singing if my timeline is right.
But Core was released over a year after PJ's Ten, so people assumed Weiland was ripping Vedder off.

>>60818716

Footage from his final shows. He looked present!
>>60840684
I still don't hear it.
Like the other guy said, I guess Plush sounds kind of like he might be sort of semi pseudo ripping off Vedder, but even then that's a stretch.
So that's one song for weak evidence, and the entire rest of his catalog with STP, solo, and VR, proving otherwise.
I just don't fuckin hear it.

Final interview was shit tier questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ComxFAagceo
>>60840857
the man played stadiums and arenas for over a decade, and he dies playing shitty clubs to dozens of patrons.
>>60840903
Shit man that is a terrible interviewer. Scott seemed like a good sport though.
>>60840778
>having to tour
How unusual for a musician.
>>60841046
He toured night clubs every single day for years. Fairly unusual for an artist who has 5 platinum albums.
>>60838046
Page did it first and pulled it off quite well too.
>>60841099
that's pretty cool
>>60841065
lol
>>60839226
>>60838554
exactly
Scott was also by far the best performer out of all the "grunge" era bands.
Layne had the voice but couldn't perform for shit,
vedder's voice was nowhere near as good
Cobain's voice didn't come close
Cornell could compete but scott was the better performer
When he was on Scott was the full package and anyone who spouts hurr perl jam/vedder ripoff!! hasn't fucking heard anything besides core which is probably their 4th best album anyway
Tiny Music > Purple > Shangri > core > No 4 >>> STP
>>60840778
He didn't find peace.
He's dead. He doesn't exist anymore.
>>60841184
god their s/t was so disappointing. I was really fucking excited but it just didn't do anything for me. I think only five of the songs I still listen to whereas I go through the entirety of the other five.
It's interesting how his brand didn't last long.
Most people were like, "Who?" when they heard the recent news.
He really faded into obscurity unlike the other bands of his generation (that were 25 years old, so pretty ancient anyway, mind you).
>>60841184
the truth. Scott was unstoppable on stage, and he could out-sing all his contemporaries. just kind of a rare talent. :(
>>60841275
>Most people were like, "Who?" when they heard the recent news.
Not really.
>>60841184
>No.4 lower than Core

>>60841243
yeah same I only listen to take a load off and dare if you dare
I think with that album they may have suffered from an attitude of wanting to pander to old fans rather than just doing their thing. which allowed for progressions from tiny through to shangri
>>60841311
yeah I know, Atlanta is my fav STP track and glide is also great
on reflection i'd probably rank them equal
>>60841296
He didn't even trend on Twitter. Every celeb goes to #1 when they die.
Most people who did recognize his name probably thought he was already dead.
>>60841355
Dude stop. If you saw Scott Weiland live you would have been won over. I'm being really sentimental right now but he embodied my high school years.
>>60841412
>Hadn't made relevant music in over a decade.
He really did die a loong time ago.
>>60841494
Well, his Christmas album was relevant to me.
>>60841514
>Christmas album
Talk shilling for sheckles.
>>60841552
you don't have to be so fucking mean.
>>60841562
At least he died before he had to play that Christmas crap this year.
>>60840677
His face looks so flat, it's kind of funny.
Like he was dropped face-first on the floor when he was born--possibly stepped on, too.
>>60841591
Wow, so edgy. Isn't it past your bedtime, boy?
>>60841642
I'm sorry I didn't respect your religious beliefs.
>>60841494
>Hadn't made relevant music in over a decade.
>HE SUX RIGHT? WHAT A LOSER
>>60841734
It just means that he was already gone in the public's mind.
Popularity isn't everything, is it?
>>60830870
>Everything gone white, everything's grey
>Now you're here, now you're away
>I don't want this; remember that

My co-worker plays the local rock station constantly, so I've heard this song a million times before; I always thought it was a love song, since it sounded so sappy, but Christ, looking at the lyrics, I can't get a bead on what the fuck it's about. I guess it was just an excuse to whip out a cello and say they were experimenting with their music.
>>60841790
I don't know anybody who doesn't have their own music and just plays what's on the radio.
I always pictured them to be 1D fans.

>Every single song is a amorphous mush of vanilla sound
I hope you get over yourself one day.
>>60841914
Trying to be popular often results in awful sounds.
>>60841841
He has his own music, but it's worse: it's really, really bad obscure blues rock that he recorded from some online radio site (because he's scared to death of downloading anything). How bad is it? I would honestly rather listen to radio rock like Pop Evil over and over again than listen to it; at least there's a little variety in what they play, unlike on those CDs, which have six or seven hours worth of that on them.
>>60841936
You're so beta.
>>60841936
you sound really gay
>>60838947
Slanted and Enchanted isn't that similar to R.E.M. at all, though R.E.M. was one of many influences. It's closest to The Fall than anything else, but even that comparison is a bit thin save for a track or two where it's admittedly very strong.
>I can understand Neutral Milk Hotel
What the fuck do Neutral Milk Hotel have to do with anything?
>>60842099
>>60841973
I'll just say that listening to stuff that's truly jazzthreadguy-tier 1,000,000 more times is a prospect I don't like and leave it at that. I'm not gonna force him to play what I want to hear on the stereo he bought with his own money; I have my own for that. I still have to deal with it whenever I have to go into the back of the shop to do something, but whatever.
>>60842307
excuses, excuses
>>60811648
How has this stayed alive for nearly two days? I had no idea /mu/ would actually give a fuck about a dead grunge guy. Is it the 90s nostalgia or what?
>>60842420
5 platinum albums. there's a strong chance the people ITT were big fans of his.
>>60842465
How many decades ago??
>>60842555
Contraband was 11 years ago.
>>60842586
So, between one and two decades ago.
ITT old fags
>>60842609
he still released albums after Contraband, smart guy.
>>60812802
What a faggot
As usual
>>60842637
Less successful ones. Made more out of necessity than creative ambition.
>>60842420
like others have said, he wasn't "a grunge guy".
One album of grunge (Core) followed by a ton of music spanning rock, country, jazz, etc.
He was one of the most versatile singers in recent memory.
>>60842609
26 here.
>>60842682
>26 here.
There's no way of verifying that, other than that you have horrible taste.
>>60842420
if you give any sort of shit about rock music, you know and care about Scott Weiland
>>60842714
>stop liking what I don't like
>if you do you're old
>if you're not old you still do
>>60842731
>you still do
Still do what?
>>60842720
>Everybody likes one thing.
That's the most retarded concept, son.
>>60842714
>desperately trying to show that you don't care about Scott Weiland in a Scott Weiland tribute thread
there's so many ways I can tell that you're a little child
>>60842766
>trying to show
That's pretty apparent. However, I'm not surprised by your I.Q. That's why this thread is so fun.
>>60842795
>I'm doing trolling! I'm troublesome on the internet! LOL this is hilarious
>>60842847
Being morally, intellectually and spiritually superior to those who idolize a degenerate feels pretty good, son.
>>60842871
>I'm intellectually superior
>I hate degenerates
too bad the 2 have often gone hand in hand.
I saw stp like 2-3 years agi in houston and scott was embarrassingly wasted on stage
>>60842935
>you can either love or hate something
Yep. Polarized thinking. Like, "It either rocks or it doesn't, man." Impressive.
>>60842960
You saw them at exactly the worst part of their career. I legit feel sorry for you; I can barely stand watching their performances from that period on YouTube.
>>60840903
Yeah seriously, who the hell came up with such a lame interview?
They couldn't come up with any better questions?
I think this is a really good Nirvana cover:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAqOb9Yxx5Q
>>60843105
He wasn't in a state to be deep or relevant.
They were being kind, and gentle to a hurting soul.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyfVhnr-1hI
What a legend.

>Bar-B-Q Mitzvah Tour
What happened to awesome tour names?
No one in the Seattle grunge scene liked STP - they were viewed as the first (of many) out of town corporate acts cashing in on 'our' scene.
Weiland came across as nothing but a poor man's Vedder (maybe he was technically first, I dunno) but Pearl jam was known and had a sound before STP came along so they seemed like they were aping them.
Source: Me, I was in my teens and early 20s in Seattle in the late 80s/90s and really into the grunge scene, before it was even called 'grunge'
I always especially hated their name as well. At first i thought it was referencing Temple Of The Dog and Stone Gossard but it tunrs out they just liked the STP patches that were obligatory on the hipster standard garage jackets of the time so they just picked words to fit.
To me they're just a slightly more talented Candlebox and basically proto-post-grunge
>>60843593
Yeah dude, you were like cool and shit back in the 90s.
>>60843714
I really was man I wish I knew what happened...
no, but seriously, I wasn't trying to blogpost, just give a first hand account of how the Seattle grunge scen reacted to them, thought maybe someone would find it interesting.
STP was really a sanitized version of grunge for hipsters.
>>60841046
>>60841065
Touring nonstop without rest, dude had to play to pay.
Honestly he should have stopped paying and taken the jail time
>>60843593
you've already been proven wrong ITT multiple times so fuck off

Jail would have cleaned him the fuck up provided the judge didn't make an example out of him
>>60843766
That's fine and it definitely shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. A handful of bands were mocked in that scene, even when some of the "newcomers" were straight up better than some of the established well-respected locals.
I get what it's like having a scene that you get to call your own and not wanting outsiders to invade. I actually do. Not even to sound insulting, but I don't think history really gives a shit what we think. Sometimes bands who get their start coming from elsewhere are just better, even if we feel like they invaded our local exclusive music club.
