Attend STP's Rehearsal on 9/1/13

[StoneTempleBrett]

What fucking bullshit.

You people are just fucking bitching to fucking bitch. The dudes singing the songs perfectly, on key, and giving great performances... So you pull some "He doesn't have his heart in it!" shit out of your ass.

So for the record:

Chester highly energetic and dancing around the stage = He's copying Scott.

Chester DOESN'T dance around, "his heart isn't in it."

Jesus man, enough is enough. If you guys are just being contrary for the sake of being contrary, then why the fuck do you even watch these fucking videos? It's obvious that excellent performances aren't enough, because he's giving more heart and passion than I've seen come from Scott since he picked up the bottle, and if you close your eyes you can almost imagine it's the voice of Scott from 10 years ago you're hearing.

But that's not the point, is it? Scott's a golden god of greatness, so it just fucking rubs y'all the wrong way to think that the guy from Linkin Park is ACTUALLY filling his shoes more than adequately.

And the Deleos are completely without blame for STP's downfall.  They shit gold and fart rainbows and can do absolutely no wrong.  Scott is 100% responsible for everything bad that has happened to the band.

The hard truth is there should never have been a reunion, it was clear that Scott wasn't well from the get-go.  I don't think he's been the same since his brother died, the divorce, and leaving VR.  It was obvious that Scott wasn't well in 08 and not fit to tour, but like Scott said recently I suppose the Deleos can be very convincing when there's money involved...which is really all this debacle is about.  It's not about preserving legacy or performing for the fans, its about money and it's been that way with the band for a long time. 

 I have seen no evidence to prove that the DeLeos or Eric have ever done anything detrimental to the band. 

You are just as delusional as the Scott apologists.  Please continue talking out of your ass, it's amusing. 

The only major thing I can recall is the Dean/Scott fight from 2002.  But honestly, when have they ever done anything blatantly unprofessional outside of that?

[Lazy Divey]

It was obvious that Scott wasn't well in 08 and not fit to tour, but like Scott said recently I suppose the Deleos can be very convincing when there's money involved...

Wow, this makes it sound like Scott is a brainless fool just waiting to be preyed upon by the evil DeLeo brothers. If the DeLeos were indeed that convincing, I wonder why they weren't able to convince Scott to get into rehab. Surely, that would have made them more money.

He's not a brainless fool, he's an addict and I never said the Deleos preyed upon him... but they did use him.  If you can't see that, then you are the brainless fool.

That's a BS crutch.  Scott used the DeLeos and Kretz too then for the 08-12 reunion money the way you put it.

Like I already said.... going on tour for years and making a record when your lead singer obviously isn't well and needs serious professional help and rehabilitation.

I'm bitching about people changing their opinions every ten seconds. Other people are bitching about pretty fucking awesome rock performances. There's a pretty big difference.

I just spent months listening to people bitch that Chester dances around too much. Now we get a performance where he doesn't dance around, and "his heart isn't in it". That's some pretty stupid fucking opinions right there

If Scott came out and gave performances like Chester has been giving, we ALL would have our heads up Scott's ass. But Chester performing at a level we want to see Scott perform at isn't good enough?

Good god you are ridiculous.  Ok let me spell it out for you.  Scott is an addict.  The rest of the band ignores the fact and still goes on their merry way and bring him on tour anyway to rake in the cash (yes I know Scott made money too). 

Instead of doing the decent and humane thing and making sure he gets help and not being total assholes they bring him on tour after tour then toss him away when they get an opportunity to make...you guessed it.. more money.  Everyone involved is an asshole.  Scott is a alcoholic addict asshole and the rest of the band are just as guilty because they ignored the fact and toured anyway...again for money.

[ShaneC]

Awesome rehearsal footage!

Can't wait until October 8.

I hope they give us snippets of each song before then.






The arguing is just a waste of time. None of this will change a thing. I'm happy for new tunes. Fuck it, let the whiners whine. They'll eventually get tired of being unsuccessful, and move on.

Can't speak for everyone for the multiple "lack of heart" comments, but mine came from his vocals, not his performance.
He's trying too hard to do Scott, he needs to do more Chester.
To me, and others apparently, it's coming across as cheap imitation.
Your last 2 sentences were hysterical though, I couldn't imagine being that delusional.

Basically all you're really saying is that you're butt hurt people don't have the same opinion as you. Your first paragraph told us that, your 2nd was just ignorant, and your 3rd was a joke.

God forbid someone made a negative comment about Chester's attire, because you would have been all over them droppin f bombs every other word.  Maybe a forum isn't the right place for you
 

[VelvetLounngeFly]

If the rest of the band gave one shit for Scott they would have made sure he got the help he needed before going on a reunion tour and making another album.  It seems like they saw a chance to make some money and be somewhat relevant again, then they kick Scott to the curb after years of touring while being a mess.....you know to make more money.  That is fucking disgusting and why I won't be buying anything from this new band.  For me, STP died with Shangri-La Dee Da.. everything else is just a ghost of what the band used to be.

Yes. Same for some of the fans. If Scott isn't doing what they want him to do, he's suddenly shit. Also, anyone who believes they're playing deep cuts because they care, are delusional. This is a perfect move to try to make sure the loyal fans stay, while grabbing new ones. Don't get me wrong, I understand they have a family to feed...-_-

We've  all heard the interviews about the setlist, so it definitely wasn't Scott's fault. Scott was out there playing deep cuts with the Wildabouts and made it clear that he wanted to play those songs with STP... While Dean claimed that people take bathroom breaks for those, and rather play the hits.
The same people supporting this, are the same people who bitched about Grean fucking up the deep cuts, so what makes it wrong for anyone to not like the way Chester sings these songs? I honestly could care less if Scott didnt play STP songs at his solo songs. Not because he's out there to ruin them on purpose like some claim, but I just rather hear STP playing STP. If I go to see Scott solo, I wanna hear HIS songs... If I wanna see the new line up performing, I'd much rather hear them play a ton of new material, without them telling me that this is STP.
That is the only way I can accept this whole mess, and really wish the court would settle for. None of them should be able to promote themselves as STP without being STP.
In a perfect world IMO...

Both parties are only allowed to cover 4 songs from their catalogue.
Neither are allowed to use STP to promote their gigs unless they're playing together.

Since they love money so much, maybe that would make them get their shit together.

Dean wasn't going to say "Our lead singer is fucked up so he can't sing the deep cuts well and a lot of the time he doesn't show up to rehearsals period."

From talking to Robert it sounds like there were a lot of songs the band wanted to perform from 2008-2012 but couldn't because Scott wasn't capable.  STP isn't the Wildabouts, that band has no problem going out there with Scott and butchering STP deep cuts.

If Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, and Mike Inez have the right to use the Alice In Chains name then the DeLeos and Kretz have the right to use the STP name.

So he's going to say that they'd rather play the hits?

Layne is dead.
