I am a fan of Doug Grean as a songwriter.
I love what him & Scott wrote for Happy In Galoshes.
I'm not at all a fan of Doug as a guitarist.
I really enjoyed the Scott Weiland solo show I saw Feb. 5, 2009 (before they were the Wildabouts), but in all the live videos I've seen while Doug was in the band, I feel like he just waaayyyyy overplays EVERY. SINGLE. SONG.
I don't think it counts for Scott, because his voice has constantly changed or "evlolved" throughout his career and he's mostly sounded good, but I recall a quote from that Chris Martin doucher from Coldplay, about how Bono (from U2) told him about how people don't want to hear all these improvisations n shit at live shows, they want to hear the songs how they sound on the albums..... The DeLeos could always pull off changes to songs because they were either subtle or tasteful changes, but Doug Grean just didn't/doesn't get it. If you were in a music class and needed examples of what they call "overplaying", Doug Grean would be an A+ example.
I admire his finger strength & dexterity, to be able to wank as hard & as long as he would on stage. But strength & dexterity does not mean you're a good guitarist or musician.....
I didn't vote in the poll, because the answer I would have voted for is "mediocre guitarist, pretty good songwriter".
I hope he doesn't still read this forum, because this post would REALLY anger him....
