Favorite singing voice

[STP92]

I love the 'Core'/'Purple' vocals. I wouldn't mind him doing that vocal style on number 6.

[Shangri]

I loved how he used to sound on Contraband tours... 2005 a great year
Then SLDD and Purple.

[nicolecary]

I like his vocals on No.4......

[Tyrant]

The best live stuff came from 2000 and 2002

[StoneTempleBrett]

Everything except for Libertad and the poppy songs on Happy in Galoshes (Blister on Your Soul, Blind Confusion, etc.)

Overall favorite is 1992-2000.  He was amazing consistently throughout this period.

Although he has had his rough moments, Scott has been my favorite rock singer for years and that will probably never change. When it comes to actual albums, I think Scott's vocals are at their most powerful on Core but would give the "best all-around" award for his performance on Purple. And I see some comments bashing Libertad and once again, I'll stick up for it by saying I think his vocals on that album are amazing, and I guess very underrated. His vocals on Contraband can be pretty "eh" at times to me

the reason why i dont dig his vocals on libertad is the same reason i hate about SLDD they are overproduced big time! they don't sound natural at all.
what i do like about the SLDD period was his voice live cuz 2002/2005 was the best he ever sounded in my opinion out of the 18 times i've seen him with STP. he sounded horrible during that libertad tour god knows what it would have sounded like if the band didn't tune down...

what i do agree with on libertad is songs like american man and stuff although they vocals are fixed up they do sound amazing i mean his voice sounds TOO amazing in that record to the point where its just too perfectly fixed on the studio....you really don't want that on a record. a song like dumb love which is one of my favorites on the record I love the fuckin vocals on that song but you can obviously tell that it was overproduced, another song is regeneration....amazing song  but its the same thing, if there's any live footage of the song from that time period you can just tell.

i agree, most powerful on core but he sounded a lot more unique on purple. and libertad wasnt really a terrible album, dont know why everyone hates it so much... compared to the other music of today i think it sounds excellent

[Lazy Divey]

I would definitely say Scott (lol Scoot) was on top of his game vocally during the No. 4 era live performance wise but as for album vocals I really dig Tiny Music and 12 Bar Blues era.

[zackrandal]

live, id actually say he was best in the core era as well. on the album he had a very distinctive voice but whenever they played the core songs in 1993 or before, he sounded just like he does on purple. and from what ive seen he was pretty consistent too, he didnt really fuck around with the vocals a lot back then. all in all 1993 was the best year for the band i think, other than "scoot" getting into heroin around that time

[Silvergun Picture Show]

no. 4 era by FAR.

I think the 99 Hob-Vegas show before scott got arrested again is the best live footage of the band, flawless performance.

Yeah but when there are like 7 other superior Weiland albums to listen to there's no point in listening to it if you don't like it.  Libertad is cheesy as hell and overproduced imo.  The album sounds very uninspired to me.

Overproduced? fuck yea..uninspired..idk

see this is the beauty of it, you can't call the rest of the albums better cuz you can easily find someone who is more into the raunchy acdc/punkish type of rock and they would prefer Libertad over other STP records. The reason why Weiland and Bowie are my favorite singers in rock is because they have given us plenty to choose from. it's pretty tough to find a guy out there with Scott's discography. Libertad, Happy and the new STP are gonna become like sort of a trilogy for his career, if i listen to Libertad i play Happy right after it and it sort turns and becomes like some story and you can just hear and tell what he was gone through at the time....even the cheesy songs on Libertad explain his sexual frustration lol

Scott knows what he is doing and his current state of mind  relates to when Bowie moved to Germany..= Berlin Trilogy.

The coolest part of it all is that Happy was recorded since a while ago lol so you hear lots of changes with his voice.

yeah i know, i dont often listen to it but when i do, i enjoy it. overproduced? yeah absolutely, thats a big problem with any good or bad music that comes out these days. i dont know about uninspired, i think they have a bunch of great songs and scott definitely contributed a lot of creativity to it, and it doesnt sound as cliched to me as others say it is. still nowhere near as good as his work with stp, but still a pretty good album

[Wingless Bird]

I really enjoy 12 Bar Blues, some of the songs on that album just give me the chills. That's the thing about Scott he has the fantastic ability to switch it up. I tend to get bord of bands simply because the lead singer lacks both range and depth in their voice. Personally I really love all of the styles of Weiland, as far as I am concerned he is one of the best vocalists of all time!!
