Nothing new here really but I found this rather touching...

I really liked the new song. It was excellent, in fact. Terrible video, however.
It's a combo of Scott and Chester. I've tried to watch it and I can't get past it cuz for me, you have this band who I would feel would want to get past this whole experience and him continuing to change into this Ken Doll stolen identity, I feel hurts the band more than helps. This band has been shadowed by Scott whether good or bad. They have this great opportunity to finally move forward and being held back because this guy thinks turning into Scott is going to win points or whatever. I find it super creepy & the dancing...omg the dancing is horrible. He has no rhythm whatsoever. Other than his mother, no one could love Scott as much as I do but it's holding the band back. Like that relationship, you think is great but the reality is that person is holding you back from being the great potential you can be. Dean, Robert and Eric deserve so much better. They deserve to be praised but they can't because their frontman is too busy stealing the identity of not one dead man but two dead men. How do you move forward when you are just constantly being reminded why they are in the position they are in now?
It's one thing to carry influences and incorporate them. It's another to blatantly copy someone, unless you are like an Elvis impersonator or a Drag Queen for lack of better words and with that said how can he look at himself at the end of the day and truly say that he made it on his own talent, heart and soul. It brings me to the point of the tv talent show he entered I think twice? He may have the voice but he doesn't have the whole package unless he steals it from a dead guy. It's a fake till you make it move. Which means he hasn't made it yet because if he did, we wouldn't have to read about how much he desperately tries to be someone else. We would have cool conversations about the music. Not about what kind of hack he is & then him passing off how much he loves Scott. I don't buy it. It's just words to justify the true reality that he doesn't have it to make it on his own personality. I think it's safe to say, we are all waiting to see the reason why STP hired him. I have yet to press play on the new album.
It's just so fucking sad. This is a great band and they deserve better. Thanks. I really needed to get this out.
Because Gutt's work makes me feel so little that I've been physically unable to listen to it all the way through?
Generally, being able to actually stomach a collection of songs without turning them off is a pretty good indicator of whether or not you consider the music any good....
The Art Of Letting Go is the only song on the album that I'm actually down with.
Like "hey I'll just repeat 'thought she'd be mine' a dozen times and we'll call that the chorus." No thanks. I'd rather hear about fancy yogurt and "Swine Flu Sally".
Speaking of Still Remains from 1994, I came upon this little gem recently

I'm psyched for whatever is coming, but if Jeff Gutt is the singer and Brenden O'Brien is the producer of a new album, it will be absolutely tremendous.
