Stone Temple Pilots Reunion 2008 Rumour Topic

[Jenkinsons]

Thanks, Silvergun.  Hopefully I won't ruffle any feathers when I say that of any songs on Tiny Music (including Press Play and Daisy), BBB would be my last choice to get to hear live.

[Long Way Home]

I hope they keep it through when I see them in August. Richard Patrick singing it with AoA was nice, but it's certainly not the same thing.

Its one of my least favorite songs on the album...but catchy.

Yah totally...I would take seven caged tigers, adhesive, or ride the cliche (even tho the guys hate that song) over BBB but I love anything STP!!

[MAZZA26]

Yah man your def a minority on this board alot of us hold silvergun superman as one of our favorite STP songs...I highly disagree with you saying it's not in their top 20. but it is all personal opinion and what you like so whatever.

But to Big Bang Baby I think it sounds fine and really awesome. Scott sounded completley different on that album than all the others so to recreate that sound when he was using drugs would be kinda hard because he hasn't sounded like that since....

Hey silvergun - thanks for the reply.
Yeah I can't really argue with your opinion - I think Silvergun Superman is a cool song, but not one of my top 20, still if it's in weiland's range then that's great!!  You are right about Scott recreating the sound of tiny music though - that would be quite difficult, and actually it's probably partly why certain songs don't get played from that album - adhesive, art-school girlfriend, seven caged tigers, pops love suicide - although quite a few people request these songs i'm sure that it's down to if scott can do something with these songs rather than the musical aspect.  As for Big Bang Baby - it's a really great song in my opinion and he is DEFINITELY singing it purposely in a different style!!  It sort of works - but he should rehearse it a little more!

I agree that Scott's doing it that way on purpose. Listen carefully - his voice isn't cracking nor is he straining. It's just a "new" way to do an "old" song.  I'm sure it must be kinda boring doing the same songs the same ways for years at a time (even with a 7 year break!). Just my opinion. As to keeping the song in the set...why not...there are lots of other songs they COULD do but they've been trying to get a groove going on the ones they're using right now. After a while I'm positive it'll change up again and then people will be complaining that ______ "sounds like crap". To each their own - as long as the band is back together and can keep it so long enough to finish the tour and (OH MY) realease another CD I'll be thrilled!

[MedicBarbie]

I agree with you oldman (that just sounds wrong )

My other half and I decided today that Scott has one of those voices that doesn't strain - no matter what octave or pitch he's singing.  He's got great range.     Not too many people can say that.

[coma09]

to me he sounds like he's singin it in a very smug kinda way, not a big fan of him singin it that way but maybe it will evolve as the tour progresses

[dog_day_prophet]

I thought it was awesome when I saw it in Chicago.  It totally took me by surprise, since I wasn't expecting them to do BBB anyway, but I loved the new twist, along with a handful of people on this board.  For a man of many voices, it was awesome to hear a new one on an old song. 

Also, I don't mean to start any battles here, but what is with the general obsession with Adhesive?  I never thought it was in the best half off of Tiny Music in the first place.  Again, no animosity sought, just curious.

[detomaso]

BBB isn't one of my favorite songs, but I like the way they're performing it live.

[Jenkinsons]

Even though I had hoped for more *different* songs at the PNC show, and overall it could have been better, and as I've already stated BBB is not one of my faves from Tiny Music, I agree with detomaso.

Agreed..100%. That's what I thought when I first heard it. I loved how it sounded in 2002..

[Somba Nova]

im suprised so many of you guys dont like BBB. thats one of my favorite songs.
that said, im not too big on the way scott has been singing it, id much rather he sing it like it is on the album.

[wayne gretzky]

BBB is great ,, was just cranking it this afternoon

[AdhesiveLove27]

To me BBB and Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart kinda are similar in way..(So its funny i took to one and not the other) I've always prefered TOAH more.. So I wouldnt cry if BBB magically dropped off the setlist and was replace by say "Glide" or "Adhesive"
