It's official: Jeff Gutt is the new STP singer

[CagedTiger]

Of course, the new music (how he writes) will be critical, especially as they keep emphasizing that.

The new music and his stage presence. He’s proven he can sing the songs and I prefer his vocals to Chester’s but I’ve always been one to say Scott was irreplaceable, not just for his vocals but for his lyrics, melodies and amazing stage presence. They were a huge part of STP for me.

I know how high our expectations are for Rob, Dean, and Eric, but let's not fail to recognize how tight they sound. Even background vocals were on point!

[CagedTiger]

Did he sing “your fucking secret” on ‘Coma’ too like Scott did live?? He’s obviously a fan which is good.

Yeah, they definitely sounded very tight.

Yes he did.

Haha thought I heard that

[Down-Plush]

I'm intrigued, I'm interested to see/hear what the new stuff will sound like.

I heard that too and was quite pleased

[Plushman]

Man....I was just singing the break down harmonies of piece of pie to my students over the microphone today (I teach elementary p.e)....and this audio comes out tonight.

Very impressed with Down, Coma, and P.O.P

[The_Bagman]

very impressed with the 3 tracks uploaded.


keen to hear the new stuff, A mix of No4 and Shangri even with AITSTYW vibe post Shangri would be ideal

[skunkyfunk]

Exceeded my expectations but I would still be biased to say Dean said John did his homework when he heard him sing Piece of Pie in the room.


Anyway Jeff deserves a break after all his hardwork.

[Kingpetty]

Piece of Pie sounded frickin' awesome ! So happy for these guys. Here's to them getting a nice 10 + year run with several albums & tours. They deserve it.

When Jeff sings "Will you show me?" in that first verse of Down, he sounds so much like 99-02 Scott, in all his ferocity, it felt like being kicked in the chest. For a moment, my brain forgot that this was NOT Scott I was hearing. Suddenly I'm reminded that Scott is gone, and I feel physical pain. But mixed with that pain and sadness is an excited contentment that STP will continue with someone who will carry on Scott's legacy.


We as STP fans will never fully get over losing Scott. But we can be thankful that we still have STP and that Scott's legacy was so powerful that the band had many talented singers ready to step in and help them keep moving forward while honoring that legacy.

I think Jeff sounds more like a takeoff from where Scott stalled musically in 2001. S/T was not as impressive imo. But I was still hoping for the girth of the voice in the Core era.
