12 Bar Blues / Re: Record Store Day

« on: April 26, 2023, 01:04:31 PM »

Looks like fans went hard for RSD!

My plan was to go on tomorrow or Tuesday and buy 2 copies.

Every single store near me is already sold out.
... just shows how badly people want more Weiland.

Jeez.

There are quite a few on discogs currently but you will have to import if you want to pay a normal price. You could also try contacting U.K. or European recordstores directly. Not a lot of people here know Scott or care about his solo work. It's not sold out here.

@Lazy Divey: Thanks for sharing this!

PS. This album is incredible! What a piece of art that has only gotten better with age.

Right on. Amazing album. Criminal it has never gotten a vinyl release. I keep emailing Music On Vinyl who did the No.4 & SLDD first ever pressings on vinyl suggesting it as a release, but no luck so far.

I suggest anybody interested do the same:

www.musiconvinyl.com/request-release

Very good idea!I would love to see a vinyl release. It deserves one for sure.

All of what you guys mentioned. Also a vinyl as part of deluxe package and it has to be the colour Purple:)

Definitely! 

My favorite album! I truly hope they will do a similar release as the Core 25th package. That woulde be awesome.

I mentioned the Weiland=Meadow thing earlier in the puzzle piece thread but no one picked that up.

@EyesOfDisarray that is a wonderful interpretation.

Stone Temple Pilots (2018) / Re: How do you feel about the new STP single - 'Meadow'? (Poll)

I gave it a few spins. But I wish I could vote 'meh'. It's too general poprock sounding for me. Given what these guys are capable of I am not impressed with the music. I think Gutt does a good job on his part though.

It may mean nothing but if you translate Weiland to English you get Meadow. 
I wonder if the guys know.

It's crazy Gutt at certain parts sounds exactly like Scott.

Velvet Revolver / Re: Contraband, 12 years today.

It's really cool to read that VR was a gateway into the world of STP/Scott Weiland for others, just as it was for me.


It was 2004, I was 14, and watching VH1 as they were about to premiere the music video for 'Slither'-- it hit me hard, it was exactly what I had been wanting to see & hear from a Rock n' Roll band, and it was exciting to find a Rock band that I had myself discovered without anyone else. It was a rebirth for everyone involved, and I was seeing it happen.


Then came the record, which delivered on every level of promise for me. I really wanted the band to carry on strong, but it seems that it was just meant to be a project of personal statement for that moment in their careers-- everyone in that band had something to prove, and it was all said & done on Contraband.

For me it was similar. I was 17 and finishing up high school when Contraband came out. I saw the video of Slither on tv and absolutely loved it. I was really into straight forward hard rock at that time so it really clicked with me. Bought the album soon after. Just for Slither and Fall to Pieces but ended up liking every song on it. It is the only cd I have two copies of for no other reason than completely wrecking the first from listening to it so much and taking it everywhere.  Because of Velvet Revolver I discovered Scott and STP. Contraband is still one of my favourite albums.

Scott Weiland / Re: Six months later

« on: June 04, 2016, 11:55:57 AM »

I can't really listen to Blaster anymore as last time it made me break down in tears, but have been playing STP, VR and his other solo stuff a lot while I work. 12 Bar Blues being my favourite.

Lots of thoughts of what could have been.. If he was still here maybe he managed to clean up again, bounce back with new music as he always did, new album, maybe joining VR again. Wishful thinking. I think he was permanently broken this time. I still think he didn't gave up, but simply couldn't go on anymore. If you need to be on the stuff he was on just to get through the day... how much in pain he must have been. I can't wrap my mind around it.

Scott Weiland / Re: Jamie sells "Scott portraits"

« on: May 16, 2016, 10:42:49 AM »

Wow, one of them got sold...

I honestly don't see much difference between the faces of the portraits of Scott and 'civil war soldier'. I don't see Scott in it at all. And I don't get the enormous price difference either.

Scott Weiland / Re: A letter from Mary.

« on: December 08, 2015, 11:05:23 AM »

If defense of Mary's point, had Scott been sober, everybody in rock would have wanted to play with him.  He'd likely be fronting STP and Velvet Revolver simultaneously right now like a Maynard James Keenan if he'd ever actually gotten sober.  If that was his situation, he'd be getting paid huge money for limited touring, so even if he had massive child support he'd be okay.  Scott's addiction though alienated all of his former bandmates.  Read the tributes that have come out, especially from the Velvet Revolver guys, and you'll be able to tell that they would love to be playing with the guy if he was alive and sober right now.

@Brett, I completely agree on that. Things would have been easier if he had, but I don't think he felt he could. I have read & listened to most that has come out from his former bandmates. And I wish he did clean up his act. That he stopped drinking and cut back on meds. I know he was a mess in the last years and  I didn't want to see him like that. When they had announced the european tour to support Blaster I had my doubts already. I saw that he was supposed to play in De Melkweg in Amsterdam. All I thought was, "I don't know, I don't want to see him like this." I'd rather have the memories of seeing him live with VR years ago when he was kicking ass. To be honest I was relieved they cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
I had hoped he would take a long break, get well and geared up with STP and/or VR again.
