the ride is still going my man! I, for one, am very thankful for that. It's not lost on me how special STP is and I celebrate them in any form. Chester (rip) was less fun for me and I didn't love him in this band as a vocalist, but Jeff has been a much better fit imo. He's not Scott, no one will ever be, but celebrating the band's catalog and still getting new albums with Rob/Dean and Eric still doing their thing is special. But with Scott I feel like I was hanging on to what he used to be when towards the end he was clearly no longer that. Jeff, in my opinion, is better than Scott was on that last STP run. Scott in his prime is untouchable, of course.
For the record I really enjoyed Army of Anyone and Talk Show too, but I've heard those bands playing STP covers and Jeff is far superior to Richard Patrick and Dave Coutts at doing the STP catalog. Again, just my opinion. I'm glad they get to make new albums with new music but they can still play the old material live this way.
To me they are one of the best bands to ever exist. So grossly underrated, but I'm very bias at this point
