Pearl jam knock off? I never heard that. Core was the first CD I bought in my life at the age of 12. Plush was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. What a great band.
Scott was such an incredibly versatile, powerful, compelling singer. He could sing in so many different styles, excelling at each one. I put his voice up right up there with Freddie Mercury, that's how great a singer I thought he was. He could sing with a sweet, soft tone one moment, then hit you with a giant screaming tone the next. Singers like this do not come along very often and it saddens me to see that he is still so underappreciated.
So sad RIP I too was a heroin addict for yrs and after my 7th overdose I was done it wasn't fun know more so I learned to live with the pain I was going through and the broken heart I had, so I asked for help and stay clean and today I can tell everyone I'm 4yrs clean from heroin my clean date oct.13,2015

Really? You should share more candid stories about Scott. I mean not saying anything to diminish his reputation, but I mean just the good side of Scott.
You probably knew more about Scott than the lady doing this video. None of us can really understand what another person's demons are. Addiction is a disease. I read that Scott was assaulted by a man when he was a kid. I was abused as a child and it takes it's toll on a person's soul. I feel sorry for those whose loved him. It's a horrible loss.
The most versatile artist this world has ever seen. He could sing any type of music. Sounded exactly like Jim Morrison when doing his covers. What a stylish dresser too. He had it all.
Ha! I have never heard anyone else say this, I noticed the resemblance long ago (spent many hours watching Eastwood westerns with my fave uncle) I can just imagine Scott as some badass outlaw...I think both men are true artists.
Scott was a great artist. Stp sounded nothing like Pearl Jam. I hated hearing that all time. They are better than Pearl Jam . Scott u are missed. Your music has been and always will be the soundtrack of my life. Rip!
I agree with you. Although when listening to Plush for the first time, to strangers, you may actually remember Eddie's voice a little, but the other songs and albums from STP ... Nothing to do with the sound of PJ. I also think STP are at a higher level than PJ. STP has great influence of Led Zeppelin.
I respect your opinion but I must disagree. I love STP and Pearl Jam and have seen them both live many times (Pearl Jam 6 times). STP and Pearl Jam do sound similar but are different but Pearl Jam and Eddie's voice and how they sound live like their albums put them above STP for me.
I still think about Scott, he was my friend, I was fortunate to know him and play on his solo album 12 Bar Blues, which was not mentioned in this piece by the way... Always and still think about the music we could have recorded together. His brother Michael was a good drummer by the way, stay clean people 🙏
Sucks he didn't quit for his kids. I cry for the kids but I would ask the artist "Why?! Why didn't you quit when you have precious babies?" . What adorable little ones, wherever they are today...I hope they are okay. I hope they don't live with a grudge or feelings of abandonment, I hope they feel loved and worthy. Scott was an incredible artist but we shouldn't glamourize and romanticize his or any other artist's death & addiction nor pretend that we knew them. We weren't the ones that lost our son, our husband, or our father. People forget about the loved ones that actually knew them. Sick of the idolatry.
Seen STP in the early 00's, 01-03 in Chicago at a music fest, Kid Rock had just came out, then STP, then Metallica closed the show. STP blew them all away, Scott's stage presence was legendary. He came out with the S&M style outfit and commanded the stage. Haven't seen a stage presence like that before or since. Wish he didn't let drugs get the best of him but they did. If I'm lucky maybe I'll get to see an entertainer of his caliber again in my lifetime. R.I.P. Scott Weiland
I was at that same show -- do you remember Bare Naked Ladies practically getting booed off the stage??? I was pleasantly surprised that Kid Rock was good and did a fun set, but yeah STP was great.
I can still remember the nauseated feeling I got when I heard about Scott being found dead only maybe an hour or so from where I live..... I hope and pray you are at peace Scott------thank you so much for your contribution to the world of rock music......
@Chris Cox Yep. Both DeLeo brothers, guitarist Dean Deleo and bassist Robert DeLeo, were/are as extremely underrated as Scott Weiland and the entire Core LP was.

NOBODY is ever stuck with being a junkie. There's always a way to come back to the light. If not for yourself, do it for those closest to you but no matter what, never give up hope.
I get what your saying but you can't get clean for other people,you have to do it for yourself or else it won't last,I don't know that,that is a fact or anything,it's my opinion as a former junkie
Scott Weiland - a great artistic musical genius ...gone too soon and he was so versatile...never a PJ knock off band. Thank you Scott and STP for great music that will live forever. ❤️
I saw Scott perform with the Wildabouts in 2014 at a casino in Battle Creek MI. Awesome show..he was in control from start to finish. I'm so glad I saw one of the best front men ever in action. RIP, Scott
STP was a groundbreaking original rock n roll band and Scott Weiland will always be a songwriting genius in my book. I saw them in concert in Johnson City,Tn. and they rocked. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. RIP Scott Weiland
For the longest time I thought Plush was a Peal Jam tune. I was on campus at Purdue around the time when PJ started out. They were playing Elliot Hall of Music on campus and everyone was talking about them. I had never heard of them and frankly was just learning about the Beatles and didn't care. I was all about LZ, Hendrix, Clapton, CCR etc. So that would have been around 1986. I heard a lot of STP, PJ, Soundgarden on the radio and did not dislike it but it wasnt my kind of music at the time. I think I first bought a STP CD in the mid to late 1990's, but I will say that it is only now, 2021, that I have become a fan of all three bands, or at least the sound and the singers. Have to appreciate the vocal range that Cornell, Wieland and Vedder all have. I am surprised that Eddie is still with us to be honest - glad he is.
I was a college radio DJ ‘90 - ‘94, spun up a lot of STP, seems like “Dead and Bloated” and “Sex Type Thing” had the most initial airplay. They were a core element of music back then....😆
A Murdoch just the way Scott starts the song with that damn Megaphone is as unique and memorable as Bon Scott with the Bag Pipes or Jim Morrison with a liquor bottle.
Too bad he didn't let the devil go. I have empathy in a big way though. It's hard for anyone who has not been in the throes of addiction to understand. You DON'T want to be there but you only figure out how bad you are in it after you've seriously changed your brain chemistry into physical and psychological dependency and it's a long walk back out of the woods.
@Adrian no need talking to him, lol his name says it all right there "the lion TROLL" I love these comments..."he was a junkie he made his decision" Clearly someone not very educated would say. We all make a choice, and irregardless of that choice it leads us to the grave, we die regardless how healthy or unhealthy we live our lives. So scott was almost 49. Damn near 50....how much longer could he have had ? 10, 20 years...50, 60, 65, maybe 70...most.people dont live beyond 75 - 80 years of age...some do, but majority dont Keith Richards was a junkie from like 1967 to 1987. Ozzy osbourne snorted half a colombian rain forest in the 70s ...lol he has been an addict since the 60s....70s...80s....90s....00s...even 2010. Ozzy osbourne is 72 years old this year and he was just in rehab in 2017 for the umteeth time...hes still alive, still rich...worth like $100 million. And still going strong...minus major tremor shakes lol. But what are you going to say about that
That was a great tribute and salute to Scott's talent and how he triumphed over so much to produce some of the best rock music ever made ... we miss you Scott and remember you!
Def a giant in my musical history. Fell in love with everything he did but hated to see him suffer from his addictions . I know Scott’s somewhere painting those pictures he never got to paint😘
Stp and Weiland are forever dear to my heart. From Core to 4, they blew my mind over & over with there music and lyrics. There one of very few bands that I love most of there songs on every album I had of there's. Especially a couple that were never on the radio/mainstream idk.....such as Silver Gun Superman, Kitchenware & Candy bars, Meatplow, Art School Girlfriend among others. God bless you Scott Weiland RIP
So sad, and weirdly, he died on my b-day. I feel privileged to have seen STP five times, and also Velvet Revolver as well. RIP Scott, you're STILL missed!
Omg. ❤'d this so much! Thank u! Scott was one of the best frontmen to ever grace the stage. Also a brilliant lyricist, who (one point you missed here); also suffered a lot from crippling bipolar disorder, and struggled to find the proper meds/plan to treat it-which is why he turned to Heroin. Scott and STP are so underrated. Rest easy Scott. The 3 live STP shows I was lucky enough to catch were some of the absolute best live shows I've ever seen. (coming from someone who went to A LOT of shows; Lollapalooza's, Monsters of Rock, Rock Fests, even Woodstock's in the 90's-early 2000's). Miss him so much, I can't even watch or listen to STP w/Jeff Gutt. Imagine Soundgarden without Chris Cornell on the mic. Just. No. I know the band has to move on, but it's still too soon. Start another band, or wait it out several years like Alice in Chains did. Sorry, I went off on a little tangent there, but it's the truth. Lol. Scott, man, you were just so 🔥🔥! 🤘
A unique voice, a magnetic presence and forever missed. STP and Weilands voice was one of my great gateways into the magical world of music. Eternally grateful for that brother. Hope you have found peace ❤️
Scott was a beautiful person, such a unique individual and musician. I certainly miss him lots, the man could throw one hell of a show for the fans.. Sucks so bad, the manner in which he went out. Wherever he is, I hope and pray that he is at true peace .. I will never forget him
Duff actually went above and beyond to help Scott and it worked really well for a while but Scott fell back into his old ways. Unfortunately, Scott was destined to die a drug related death else he would of shook the habit and some people just don't want help.
His brother introduced him to heroin, the brown will leave you in the gutter or kill you. Saw Scott with STP and VR. The VR gig at Manchester Apollo is one of the best gigs I've been too. I'm 55 now and my first gig was Motorhead in 79.
His brother did not introduce him to heroin. It was actually the other way around. The first time Scott did heroin was while on tour with the Butthole Surfers in 1993. It was the lead singer of The Butthole Surfers that introduced him. One night, they rolled into their next tour stop in NYC, and STP dressed as Kiss at the show (google it and you'll find pics and video of them in full on KISS garb). Scott snorted his first line of heroin that night before going onstage. He wrote in his autobiography: “The opiate took me to where I’d always dreamed of going. I can’t name the place, but I can say that I was undisturbed and unafraid, a free-floating man in a space without demons and doubts.”
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 the last line of your comment is the truest words ever written! Im a recovering heroin addict been clean 5 years im 44! You cannot explain the feeling any better than those words! Very sad loss but that poison is deadly addictive! Its almost impossible to stop! The percentage of users that stay clean is very very minimal! Id say over 90percent of users never get clean! Thats a deadly drug! Nobody could ever tell me any different! I hope to stay that small percentage!
@@baddazzgarage2953 Agreed. Congrats on your sobriety, man. You're right, getting and staying clean after opiate addiction is incredibly difficult. You should be very proud. Stay strong.✊
Andy Thompson I don’t even see the comparison other than they were grunge bands so were many other bands, men and women... people have to ruin everything
Scott Weiland was awesome. I was devastated when he passed away. S.T.P. had their own sound and it was great. I never once thought they sounded like any other band but who they were. It's so sad he is gone. Definitely way too soon. Miss him. 😢
So cool!!! Did you get to talk with him or other members? I always remember Robert DeLeo being so cool during the shows he’d always throw his sweaty towel at me. Once I even got Scott’s towel but i had to cut it in 3’s because I was with 2 other girls. Still have it to this day.... man I sound like a lame fan girl. 😂
Same here. I grew up in the 80's with Motley Crue,Ratt,Poison...all those 80's rock band. Then in 91 when Nirvana came out,I hated them! Fast forward to spring of 93 when Plush came out,STP was now my new favorite band. I wore out every cd they put out. R.I.P Scott! Thanks for the memories!
It took STP's side project Talk Show in 97 to pull me away from the hair metal, even though I played thrash through my high school days! Their singer Dave Coutts bridged the gap vocally, with a higher, more Mercury-esque register that I always liked. As fate would have it, I made an appearance drumming Dave's release of "Saturday", which he wrote with Robert DeLeo while on the Talk Show tour. STP recorded it as "Glide" off no.4. Before Talk Show I was pretty heavy into the hair metal though... God I loved that stuff.
@@Alpha11 Alice In Chains caught my ear. They had one of the best vocalists ever. Listen to the performance at the Moore Theater. STP is amazing too. Alice is my favorite band. Especially many songs from their first album.
I think so many of these artists are highly sensitive people with zero coping skills. They get shot into fame like a rocket, wealthy overnight, and with all the other drama of personal life on top of it, it all leaves them so overwhelmed that they're left defenseless!! It's no wonder they turn to drugs. And there in lies the tragedy as it plays itself out over and over and over again. I'm so sick of drugs taking beautiful souls away from us and breaking our hearts!!! 😔💔
My favorite singer of my favorite band. Thank you STP for providing the music of my generation and the countless hours of enlightenment. Love you guys.
@@damotheman4196 agree, well said. I get what he's saying as well. However, just fyi, Logan Paul infiltrated the "flat earth" community to make a UA-cam documentary essentially refuting the entire belief. Sorry man, but he was only a fake flat earther. 🤷🏼♀️

You an stp fan or flat earther?😉 Edit-damn it christy you've just ruined my logan paul bit but thanks for the info!😂
I’ve loved them since their 1st album. My heart broke when Scott passed. I always hoped he’d save himself. I guess he couldn’t find a reason. One of the great bands from the 90’s that kept on going.
I never smoked anything, did any drug and only drank moderately. I sympathize with people who have these struggles. I knew many people who had these struggles and it not only caused them pain but me, as well. I can tell you that I was deeply touched by Scott Weiland’s lyrics, vocals, the music he helped create. I identified with what he had to say and his performances were awesome. I saw STP three times and Velvet Revolver, twice. I cried the day he died. It still makes me sad when I think of him and I still enjoy his music. I have struggles, myself but they’re different. You never know how someone feels inside. I still don’t agree with substances as a way of relief or a way out. I can only tell you I sympathize with those who struggle with these things. It also makes me a little angry, at the drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc., because these things took so many things and people away from me. Not angry at the users because like I said, emotional pain is hard to deal with and everyone copes with things, differently. It’s so senseless, really. Just sad!
Plush is just one of those songs when each instrument, including the vocal track, has a great part and can stand on it's own. I can listen to each track isolated and they all sound awesome and when combined - magic.
Ok I have watched it... Brought tears to my eyes... Thank you Alpha Eleven. You did a great job on this piece. I even learned something. For the others that thought it..... NO, STP did not sound like Pearl Jam! And in my private circle of friends, we renamed the song "Creep,"- the john wayne bobbit song LOL
Bumped into Scott in an lax club lounge. We sat at tables next to one another. He drank tea alone after his handler had left him for a bit. We had a nice chat. He was really kind. RIP Scott
I saw STP is 2008. Absolutely best concert I’ve ever been to and I saw Van Halen in 1978, 79, and twice in 82, 84. Van Halen was great too, but STP was so damn good. I also saw Def Leppard in 88 with Steve Clark. Also an absolutely fantastic show. For me STP with Scott as a front man could not be topped. Terrible that he passed. I was very sad when I heard the news. RIP brother.
I loved this man from the first time i saw STP on the Jon Stewart Show on MTV and saw him in every phase of his career including one week before he passed with the Wildabouts. I miss his music & his presence every day. His music is such a big part of my life’s soundtrack 💔
@@no.8466 hope you're trolling by following up on the whole "female super hero" thing cause telling people to try Heroin and fucking their life up is a shitty thing to do.
A hallmark trait of heroin addicts is the lack of self awareness brought about by repetitive escapes from reality. You are reading something into still photographs that doesn’t jibe with his behavior at the time. Projection is a defense mechanism used to deal with grief. Fascinating example
Such a beautiful voice, and a truly intriguing lyricist. Love the diverse sounds of STPs music. Best American band of the 90s. May Scott’s magick soul rock on, forevermore.
STP is not a knock off band. They held up to and excelled above most grunge bands. and put on some of the best concerts around. RIP Scott.

I agree!
Well said, they fawking rocked & are missed. RIP SW 🙏

NOBODY is ever stuck with being a junkie. There's always a way to come back to the light. If not for yourself, do it for those closest to you but no matter what, never give up hope.
There ARE some people who are so depressed they just CANNOT heal. Scott was raped at a young age and it haunted him his whole life. He had demons.
rick dalton That is really good. If you can't change for yourself, change for someone that cares for you.
I get what your saying but you can't get clean for other people,you have to do it for yourself or else it won't last,I don't know that,that is a fact or anything,it's my opinion as a former junkie
Do whatever you want to but stay away from heroin. It'll take your money, family, children and your life a way to soon
Misha Lap yeah I unfortunately can attest to that..
🤷 stereotype
I'm an recovering Heroin addict and it's the one drug that makes you feel the best and the worst! BTW he did NOT overdose on H.
Not always. I've been using 20 plus years . Never been to jail , have a wife ( who doesn't use ) 2 kids , good job and savings.
@@daniellenichols9757 what was it?
Scott Weiland - a great artistic musical genius ...gone too soon and he was so versatile...never a PJ knock off band. Thank you Scott and STP for great music that will live forever. ❤️
I miss the comfort of being sad.......
I saw Scott perform with the Wildabouts in 2014 at a casino in Battle Creek MI. Awesome show..he was in control from start to finish. I'm so glad I saw one of the best front men ever in action.
RIP, Scott
Hey there! I know EXACTLY what you mean. I was at the casino that night, too! I left work at the mall and got there right on time!
I miss Battle Creek, despite there being nothing around, lol
STP was a groundbreaking original rock n roll band and Scott Weiland will always be a songwriting genius in my book. I saw them in concert in Johnson City,Tn. and they rocked. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. RIP Scott Weiland
That was so beautifully done!! I loved his contributions to music & really enjoyed your video!!
Thank you for watching and the nice comment! We’re glad you liked the bio!
no clue why anyone has ever compared stp with pearl jam. i love both bands but they sound NOTHING alike
For the longest time I thought Plush was a Peal Jam tune. I was on campus at Purdue around the time when PJ started out. They were playing Elliot Hall of Music on campus and everyone was talking about them. I had never heard of them and frankly was just learning about the Beatles and didn't care. I was all about LZ, Hendrix, Clapton, CCR etc.
So that would have been around 1986.
I heard a lot of STP, PJ, Soundgarden on the radio and did not dislike it but it wasnt my kind of music at the time. I think I first bought a STP CD in the mid to late 1990's, but I will say that it is only now, 2021, that I have become a fan of all three bands, or at least the sound and the singers. Have to appreciate the vocal range that Cornell, Wieland and Vedder all have. I am surprised that Eddie is still with us to be honest - glad he is.
Amen!!
@@scott729 then you didn’t really know Pearl Jam or STP. I was fans of both and never confused them. Two totally different vibes and sounds
@@TammyM36 No, I didn't know them. None of them, I was not into grunge. Not until the past few years ... that was my point.
@@scott729 gotcha. All good. I hope you are now enjoying STP 👍🏽
I was a college radio DJ ‘90 - ‘94, spun up a lot of STP, seems like “Dead and Bloated” and “Sex Type Thing” had the most initial airplay. They were a core element of music back then....😆
A Murdoch just the way Scott starts the song with that damn Megaphone is as unique and memorable as Bon Scott with the Bag Pipes or Jim Morrison with a liquor bottle.
A Murdoch “Core” element😏 I see what you did there🤘
Those were fun years.
R,I,,P , SCOTT, HOPE YOU FOUND YOUR PEACE , 💜
He had so much potential. Too bad the devil just wouldn’t let go of him.
Too bad he didn't let the devil go. I have empathy in a big way though. It's hard for anyone who has not been in the throes of addiction to understand. You DON'T want to be there but you only figure out how bad you are in it after you've seriously changed your brain chemistry into physical and psychological dependency and it's a long walk back out of the woods.
I read somewhere that Scott refused to ever sign with the devil.
@Adrian no need talking to him, lol his name says it all right there "the lion TROLL"
I love these comments..."he was a junkie he made his decision"
Clearly someone not very educated would say.
We all make a choice, and irregardless of that choice it leads us to the grave, we die regardless how healthy or unhealthy we live our lives. So scott was almost 49. Damn near 50....how much longer could he have had ? 10, 20 years...50, 60, 65, maybe 70...most.people dont live beyond 75 - 80 years of age...some do, but majority dont
Keith Richards was a junkie from like 1967 to 1987.
Ozzy osbourne snorted half a colombian rain forest in the 70s ...lol he has been an addict since the 60s....70s...80s....90s....00s...even 2010.
Ozzy osbourne is 72 years old this year and he was just in rehab in 2017 for the umteeth time...hes still alive, still rich...worth like $100 million. And still going strong...minus major tremor shakes lol. But what are you going to say about that
I will forever miss you Scott. Your music will play to eternity thus your spirit will live forever.
Thank you for this recap and the sweet voice. Scott was a rock icon 🖤
Hope he is resting well. Love his music it's beautiful always.
What a tragedy. He had so much more to offer.
Well done on this . Respectful and touching tribute to Scott Weiland .
That was a great tribute and salute to Scott's talent and how he triumphed over so much to produce some of the best rock music ever made ... we miss you Scott and remember you!
This mans music has helped me in life so much rest in peace
I loved Stone Temple Pilots so much when I was in university. RIP Scott...
Def a giant in my musical history. Fell in love with everything he did but hated to see him suffer from his addictions . I know Scott’s somewhere painting those pictures he never got to paint😘
Stp and Weiland are forever dear to my heart. From Core to 4, they blew my mind over & over with there music and lyrics. There one of very few bands that I love most of there songs on every album I had of there's. Especially a couple that were never on the radio/mainstream idk.....such as Silver Gun Superman, Kitchenware & Candy bars, Meatplow, Art School Girlfriend among others. God bless you Scott Weiland RIP
So sad, and weirdly, he died on my b-day. I feel privileged to have seen STP five times, and also Velvet Revolver as well. RIP Scott, you're STILL missed!
Rip to one of the many singers of the 90s we loved. Great decade for music
Omg. ❤'d this so much! Thank u! Scott was one of the best frontmen to ever grace the stage. Also a brilliant lyricist, who (one point you missed here); also suffered a lot from crippling bipolar disorder, and struggled to find the proper meds/plan to treat it-which is why he turned to Heroin. Scott and STP are so underrated. Rest easy Scott. The 3 live STP shows I was lucky enough to catch were some of the absolute best live shows I've ever seen. (coming from someone who went to A LOT of shows; Lollapalooza's, Monsters of Rock, Rock Fests, even Woodstock's in the 90's-early 2000's). Miss him so much, I can't even watch or listen to STP w/Jeff Gutt. Imagine Soundgarden without Chris Cornell on the mic. Just. No. I know the band has to move on, but it's still too soon. Start another band, or wait it out several years like Alice in Chains did. Sorry, I went off on a little tangent there, but it's the truth. Lol. Scott, man, you were just so 🔥🔥! 🤘
Aic waited and it still sucks. Stp is over as far as im concerned
u r so lucky to have seen this amazing rock god live..wish I had..he was an enigma...yes, rip Scotty
a heartbreaking tale! One of the greatest frontmen ever!
A unique voice, a magnetic presence and forever missed. STP and Weilands voice was one of my great gateways into the magical world of music. Eternally grateful for that brother. Hope you have found peace ❤️
One of the greatest performers I have witnessed. I am so sad music has lost so many people who inspired me.
Trippin on a hole in a paper heart. Nmbr 1
#agreed⤴
Scott was a beautiful person, such a unique individual and musician. I certainly miss him lots, the man could throw one hell of a show for the fans.. Sucks so bad, the manner in which he went out. Wherever he is, I hope and pray that he is at true peace .. I will never forget him
I remember watching Slash & Duff trying to counsel Scott on changing his lifestyle away from drugs, and sadly thinking it was a lost cause...😢
Duff actually went above and beyond to help Scott and it worked really well for a while but Scott fell back into his old ways. Unfortunately, Scott was destined to die a drug related death else he would of shook the habit and some people just don't want help.
RIP Scott Weiland, you are great, even to this day man.
Saw them live in Oakland 94. It was a total gift. I miss him and wish he was here and healthy.
His brother introduced him to heroin, the brown will leave you in the gutter or kill you. Saw Scott with STP and VR. The VR gig at Manchester Apollo is one of the best gigs I've been too. I'm 55 now and my first gig was Motorhead in 79.
His brother did not introduce him to heroin. It was actually the other way around. The first time Scott did heroin was while on tour with the Butthole Surfers in 1993. It was the lead singer of The Butthole Surfers that introduced him. One night, they rolled into their next tour stop in NYC, and STP dressed as Kiss at the show (google it and you'll find pics and video of them in full on KISS garb). Scott snorted his first line of heroin that night before going onstage. He wrote in his autobiography: “The opiate took me to where I’d always dreamed of going. I can’t name the place, but I can say that I was undisturbed and unafraid, a free-floating man in a space without demons and doubts.”
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 the last line of your comment is the truest words ever written! Im a recovering heroin addict been clean 5 years im 44! You cannot explain the feeling any better than those words! Very sad loss but that poison is deadly addictive! Its almost impossible to stop! The percentage of users that stay clean is very very minimal! Id say over 90percent of users never get clean! Thats a deadly drug! Nobody could ever tell me any different! I hope to stay that small percentage!
@@baddazzgarage2953 Agreed. Congrats on your sobriety, man. You're right, getting and staying clean after opiate addiction is incredibly difficult. You should be very proud. Stay strong.✊
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 thanks Christy👍
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 Fuckin' Gibby man. Figures!! "...pourin' like an avalanche, comin' down the mountain."
Purple was a masterpiece. Pearl Jam couldn’t touch this band
I think Purple was thier best
Yeah right. Pearl Jam is fucking amazing.
Love Stone Temple Pilots but what you’ve just said lacks thought.
Agreed.
Andy Thompson I don’t even see the comparison other than they were grunge bands so were many other bands, men and women... people have to ruin everything
RIP Scott,you were one of the most talented rockstars that I knew 😭❤️🙏🏻
you have gone Scott, you are no longer with us. but we will always remember that you were one of the very best
Scott Weiland was awesome. I was devastated when he passed away. S.T.P. had their own sound and it was great. I never once thought they sounded like any other band but who they were. It's so sad he is gone. Definitely way too soon. Miss him. 😢
Well said. Agree on everything
Scott was awesome and always had a cool look about him I ❤ STP
My band opened for STP at the Troc in Philly in the early 90’s. They were all very nice boys
That's awesome! Thanks for being here and commenting, vonslagle!
Fellow Pennsylvanian? Personally I really dig Filmore. But Trocadero was awesome too
So cool!!! Did you get to talk with him or other members? I always remember Robert DeLeo being so cool during the shows he’d always throw his sweaty towel at me. Once I even got Scott’s towel but i had to cut it in 3’s because I was with 2 other girls. Still have it to this day.... man I sound like a lame fan girl. 😂
Heck yes. Very Awesome.
@@WhitneyPelayo Lame? You are what rock 'n' roll was built on!
I remember when they 1st hit the scene. I was an all 80's hair band only lover, then I heard STP . Changed my musical perception .
I was in the same boat as you. Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains never really caught my ear. STP did right away.
Same here. I grew up in the 80's with Motley Crue,Ratt,Poison...all those 80's rock band. Then in 91 when Nirvana came out,I hated them! Fast forward to spring of 93 when Plush came out,STP was now my new favorite band. I wore out every cd they put out. R.I.P Scott! Thanks for the memories!
It took STP's side project Talk Show in 97 to pull me away from the hair metal, even though I played thrash through my high school days!
Their singer Dave Coutts bridged the gap vocally, with a higher, more Mercury-esque register that I always liked.
As fate would have it, I made an appearance drumming Dave's release of "Saturday", which he wrote with Robert DeLeo while on the Talk Show tour. STP recorded it as "Glide" off no.4.
Before Talk Show I was pretty heavy into the hair metal though... God I loved that stuff.
I like all 3, but in order I would say 1 PJ, 2 AIC, 3 STP
@@Alpha11 Alice In Chains caught my ear. They had one of the best vocalists ever. Listen to the performance at the Moore Theater. STP is amazing too. Alice is my favorite band. Especially many songs from their first album.
I think so many of these artists are highly sensitive people with zero coping skills. They get shot into fame like a rocket, wealthy overnight, and with all the other drama of personal life on top of it, it all leaves them so overwhelmed that they're left defenseless!! It's no wonder they turn to drugs. And there in lies the tragedy as it plays itself out over and over and over again. I'm so sick of drugs taking beautiful souls away from us and breaking our hearts!!! 😔💔
True artists generally do not have emotional defenses because they are tuning into creative muse where there is absolutely no need for them.
Yep agree
My favorite singer of my favorite band. Thank you STP for providing the music of my generation and the countless hours of enlightenment. Love you guys.
Dammit I miss this dude! I hope you found peace Scott. I still jam STP constantly. Thank you for all the music.
Thank you Scott Weiland for all the kick ass music. Rest easy. The pain is gone my FRIEND. Alive in the hearts of the fans still. RIP S.Weiland
Irreparable, irreplaceable and insanely talented. His Memory Still Remains. ❤
Well said bro real fans will get what you're saying abd why you worded it that way. 'Pick a flower,hold your breath and drift away'
@Michael Ferraro Apparently not. I'm a flat-earther though so my opinion carrys weight with absolutely no-one! Oh no wait logan paul! 😂😂😉
@@damotheman4196 agree, well said. I get what he's saying as well. However, just fyi, Logan Paul infiltrated the "flat earth" community to make a UA-cam documentary essentially refuting the entire belief. Sorry man, but he was only a fake flat earther. 🤷🏼♀️
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 Hey christy i was only being a sarcastic flat-earther for comic effect to the guy who was being a smart-ass over the op's tribute to scott...absolutely no idea why it came into my head at the time! Oh the world spinning shit he said that was it..i love scott and the song he was referring too and hate logan paul and aint a flat earther in the slightest! It wouldn't go down to well in Ireland! You an stp fan or flat earther?😉
Edit-damn it christy you've just ruined my logan paul bit but thanks for the info!😂
@@damotheman4196 lol! Ahh, I see. No flat earthers here. Big STP fan though. Greetings from the US!
I’ve loved them since their 1st album. My heart broke when Scott passed. I always hoped he’d save himself. I guess he couldn’t find a reason. One of the great bands from the 90’s that kept on going.
Thanks for the awesome moments watching you perform your beautiful heart out ✌🏻love and light Rock star 💫
He wallowed in despair and never found true healing
he almost looked at times like he was from the 1940s or 50s what a WASTE.
Its called class
What do you mean waste
Interstate love song was the best song ever written you can't change my mind
Justin Crane I agree with you. Best of all, it sounded better live than the recording. Simply incredible!
You need to listen to some more music.
@@hugolafhugolaf 🤡
While driving all the way up the West coast from LA to Seattle I learned the drum part and steered with my knee :P
The '90s wouldn't be complete without Scott Weiland's voice!
I never smoked anything, did any drug and only drank moderately. I sympathize with people who have these struggles. I knew many people who had these struggles and it not only caused them pain but me, as well. I can tell you that I was deeply touched by Scott Weiland’s lyrics, vocals, the music he helped create. I identified with what he had to say and his performances were awesome. I saw STP three times and Velvet Revolver, twice. I cried the day he died. It still makes me sad when I think of him and I still enjoy his music. I have struggles, myself but they’re different. You never know how someone feels inside. I still don’t agree with substances as a way of relief or a way out. I can only tell you I sympathize with those who struggle with these things. It also makes me a little angry, at the drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc., because these things took so many things and people away from me. Not angry at the users because like I said, emotional pain is hard to deal with and everyone copes with things, differently. It’s so senseless, really. Just sad!
Edward Peters II Amen brother 🙏🏻
STP wrote so many incredible songs that people often overlook them.
Truth 🙌🏼
Plush stands as one of the greatest rock songs of all time in my opinion. Just timeless.
Plush is just one of those songs when each instrument, including the vocal track, has a great part and can stand on it's own. I can listen to each track isolated and they all sound awesome and when combined - magic.
Ok I have watched it... Brought tears to my eyes... Thank you Alpha Eleven. You did a great job on this piece. I even learned something.
For the others that thought it..... NO, STP did not sound like Pearl Jam!
And in my private circle of friends, we renamed the song "Creep,"- the john wayne bobbit song LOL
Bumped into Scott in an lax club lounge. We sat at tables next to one another. He drank tea alone after his handler had left him for a bit. We had a nice chat. He was really kind. RIP Scott
Thank You for this. I loved STP. I loved Velvet Revolver. I basically loved anything Scott was involved in. Because he made it all magical.
Legend! Rest in Peace Scott, thank you for the songs and the memories

You can't unsee this
They smoked Pearl Jam, STP and Nirvana created some amazing music that will live on
Nirvana really wasnt THAT great...good but not this good
I like STP, but Pearl Jam was and is a better band than them and Nirvana...in my "humble" opinion that is : )
Jimmy C I agree 💯!!!! Those two bands were phenomenal and totally defined the 90's!!!...both also broke my heart when they died. 😔
word..Scott and kurt, true artists, true poets
Such a sad video. Very heartbreaking. Scott was a beautiful human being. So very sad. Seeing his daughter run to his arms.... no words 💔
It hurts to lose these incredible artists. They've carried me thru my darkest days and still do. It leaves an emotional void. It just hurts.
Scott was so underrated because he refused to sell his soul for fame, unlike most of his peers.
Scott Weiland is the greatest rock singer of all time, in my opinion! Very sad story and ending!
Yeah, he and Krazy Kris Cornell are whaling it out and warming up for our shows later.
I totally agree with you BumbleBee
ever heard of Bon Scott Ace?
STP forever in our hearts 😢
I saw STP is 2008. Absolutely best concert I’ve ever been to and I saw Van Halen in 1978, 79, and twice in 82, 84. Van Halen was great too, but STP was so damn good. I also saw Def Leppard in 88 with Steve Clark. Also an absolutely fantastic show. For me STP with Scott as a front man could not be topped. Terrible that he passed. I was very sad when I heard the news. RIP brother.
I loved this man from the first time i saw STP on the Jon Stewart Show on MTV and saw him in every phase of his career including one week before he passed with the Wildabouts. I miss his music & his presence every day. His music is such a big part of my life’s soundtrack 💔

@@no.8466 You must get pretty sick of yourself

So tragic. Miss his music . Miss those times. Miss him. Stay sober.
His self awareness at end of video saddening.
A hallmark trait of heroin addicts is the lack of self awareness brought about by repetitive escapes from reality. You are reading something into still photographs that doesn’t jibe with his behavior at the time. Projection is a defense mechanism used to deal with grief. Fascinating example
made me tear up a bit ngl
Such a beautiful voice, and a truly intriguing lyricist. Love the diverse sounds of STPs music. Best American band of the 90s. May Scott’s magick soul rock on, forevermore.
beautiful man..and a true artist....we remember you, Weiland..be free...ty for all the joy you shared and ty for saving a pittie xxxx
