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.
