Lol @ stone temple pilots

The Creep will need some Vasoline after he screwed by his band.

 

[Jumpem]

The lead singer IS the band.

 

[HeXen]

Great potential here, such a good sounding band back then. Too bad Scott is such an ass, just like Axle i guess. At least i assume that's probably the reason.

 

[preslove]

I'm interested in who wins the name if this goes to court.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

lol, the Queensryche debacle in grunge form.

 

[Slew Foot]

I'm impressed they haven't OD by now.

 

[jpeyton]

What happened to going out on top?

Seriously musicians. Invest your earnings. Retire after your peak. Don't become a side-show.

 

[KlokWyze]

Went to some chili cook off thing in DC about 3 years ago. STP was like 2 hours late due to Weiland being a drama queen or something or other. Ridiculous.

Didn't really matter. We left well before then as the venue was shit, beers were astronomically expensive, could only drink in 1 spot, was just boring, etc. We had more fun taking the Metro back getting off at random spots and drinking at random bars.

 

[Fenixgoon]

core and purple FTW. everything else, including velvet revolver, was pretty meh.

 

[1sikbITCH]

My wife and I would go see them, and their demographic is probably 30 to 70 somethings. Probably too small a demographic to even ever consider touring again

Actually us baby boomers still rule the land by far. Average age of America is almost 40.

STP could probably sell out!

 

[bigrash]

They're still around?

 

[Booty]

The lead singer IS the band.

Really? Did Axl Rose tell you that? AC/DC might disagree...

People recognize the voice of the front man. Guitarists, drummers, bassists, etc are a dime a dozen.

Depends on the guitarist/ drummer/bassist

 

[TwiceOver]

Pretty much - Core was a great album.

FTFY

lolno. They recognize melodies and songs first and foremost. The singer only wrote the lyrics and some vocal melodies in STP.

 

[grohl]

drama in a rock band? never heard of it

Any musician can play the melodies as you put it. Only one singer can make the sound of a band.

RHCP is shit without Frusciante and AC/DC did just fine.

Although I agree with you in the case of Sublime with Rome...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

But not any musician can write the melodies. And let's face it, Weiland is a big part of what makes people dismiss STP as second-tier to Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains; he doesn't have a super distinctive voice at all.

 

[Ns1]

SO...

how do you guys feel about STP's new singer?

 

[d4a2n0k]

Chester?

 

[Drako]

Looking forward to Stone Temple Park, or Linken Pilot tour in the future. :awe:

 

[BoberFett]

Kind of reminds me of the Days of the New saga with Travis Meeks and his band.

I liked DotN, but Tantric was better without him.

 

[BoberFett]

I can't believe people still like AC/DC. Brian Johnson is and always has been crap. And the writing eventually went to hell too, it's entirely formulaic now. Find a catch phrase and have Brian Johnson scream it ad nauseum with his irritating voice. They should have hung it up after Bon Scott died.
