@gothsocialite, I can really relate to what you are saying, although I had been a fan since Core(one of the first cds I ever bought) I feel almost guilty to have lost interest in whatever STP or Scott were doing later in the nineties, it may sound silly now that he is dead. I vaguely remember seeing barbarella on MTV, liking it but I had my own problems with certain substances back then, going broke and not having access to new music for awhile, then i became an Art School Girl en was just busy all the time, did not even know about no.4 or Shangri. I live in a country where people still thought/think that STP was a bad Pearl Jam(Pearl Jam was really huge here because they played the biggest festival here, pinkpop, en made a big impression live on television) copy so there was not much attention for those albums in the media.) My taste in music changed , I started to believe that the grungy sounds i liked before would only remind me of my worst days mid to late nineties, the self-destructive drug induced misery I had just re-emerged of so I blocked everything grunge related including STP until this december. Then his death hit me like a 10 ton brick and started reliving the nineties all over again but in a more positive way, it wasn't all bad, in fact i missed out on so much great stuff(12 bar blues, no 4, shangri, happy), now i just want to go back in time(hence my username), approaching 40 now and I feel old damn it! Time went by toooo fast...
