Utica Arts & Music festival headliner! Scott Weiland

[megafonemaniac]

This whole situation is very upsetting on so many levels.
honestly.....I fear for Scotts life.

Guys, a crappy quality recording can only reveal deficiencies in a mix or in a frequency that the mic can't pic up or a change in timbre because of one's location versus the direction of the sound.


What it does not do is make someone more or less off key.


When you're at a live show your ears are being assaulted. You're singing along, everyone else is singing. But recordings provide truth. Nothing about these videos distorts pitch. We could find equally poor quality recordings where Scott sounds great. He sounds bad here. Being there he probably sounded alright, especially the closer oe was to the stage (where the stage volume drowns out the amplified vocals).

                   The way I see it, the situation is that of Scott most likely not rehearsing before the show.  From our general knowledge, he never really rehearses at all, right? He just shows up on stage from out of who knows where and begins the show. There was a few weeks or a gap or however long it was before the last show. Then this random show appears. Remember when they  started this tour it took several shows in a row to get him and the band to finally warm up and somewhat nail the songs. Now the next show won't be till Nov. 30th so who knows how that show will go?? Maybe this explains what kind of condition he has been in prior to last night by the sound of his voice. If he's like this right now, almost wouldn't make sense to throw in random shows like that Nov 30th one. Take a break, rest his vocals or something.We're all concerned for the guy! On top of that, it's not like he's 75 years old. He still at an age where if he was completely healthy he could probably still kick ass with his voice! Let's hope for the best!

The condition of his voice is not from lack of warming up. At this point warming up probably does more harm than good.

He publicly stated a few years ago that he has MAJOR vocal cord damage. One is too strong, one is too weak. He also has fucked his nasal passages and doctors told him he needs to take time off and take steroids to rebuild it. None of this has happened, or happened for long enough to repair the damage he's done. And he continues to do more damage by drinking and smoking every day and lord knows what else. Hell most people on this forum who can hear a bad note would sound better than Weiland right now. His voice is literally broken! He can not and will not sound better for any great length of time without taking the time and the steps to properly heal, but he's in his own Diva world and doesn't listen to those who know best. We all hope for the best for him, but It's not about hoping for the best, it's about Weiland sucking it up, being a fucking MAN and taking care of himself and his kids lively hood. For him to drag this on for years without getting proper help obviously making the issues worse is painful to see and read about. Wish he gave a fuck.
