Happy In Galoshes / Too much like Bowie?
« on: December 21, 2008, 09:09:53 PM »
Critics have been calling Weiland a poor man's "(place vocalist here)" since Core.  I can't say that I agree, however, with this in mind, I find it puzzling that Weiland would outright mimic David Bowie on his latest solo release.  There were many references to Bowie upon the release of 12 Bar Blues, but I think those had more to do with Weiland's appearance and genre blending sound than with his voice.  However, he is outright singing like David Bowie on his new album.  Before going any further, take a listen to the verses on Paralysis.  That is David Bowie!  Anyone else have any feelings about this?!

stp chris--

you're probably preaching to the wrong crowd--this is a fan-atic site!  but i agree with your review of the show.  as a performance, it sucked.  weiland's "incoherent ranting" really sucked the life out of the show--and made the set seem a lot longer than it was.  i mean, they played for like an hour, but it felt like an eternity.  i really had no issue with the performance of the songs--but those in between moments really make or break the performance aspect of a show, at least for me.  and weiland failed miserably.  it's like he wants to annoy people.  even his band members just put their heads down when he starts!  at the end of the show, i felt like he totally dissed chicago with his "especially in THIS city" rant.  what a dick!  even i felt like boo-ing at that point.  i don't ever remember paying to see a musician who then turns on his crowd--and from the sounds of the St. Louis show, it appears this isn't an isolated case.  
but on a good note, i'm happy i got to see him solo.  and actually, i did get something out of one of those rants--which i'll probably repeat for the rest of my life:  "Fuck art.  Let's fart."  Now if he was saying shit like that all night--I would have paid just to hear the rants!!
