+Reanne York Agreed! I was blown away by how amazing he sounded with them (so similar to Jim!), as well as the Christmas song. He had a beautiful voice.
+Reanne York I love how the band kept looking over at him thinking it was Jim singing, haha. They had that, "omg he sounds so much like Jim" look on them.
Yeah, the way they put a Vasoline performance from 2001 and one from 2015 back to back... just shows how bad it got... heartbreaking. And then his statement about being sober for 13 years, having been made just a few months before he died and right after that footage where he was clearly wasted... and how it didn't match the timeline at all (he was arrested for possession in 2004, if I remember correctly, so he couldn't have been sober for 13 years just 11 years later). A great talent that was ruined by drugs and by his inner struggles.
I think he meant that he was clean off heroin which would be true when he was arrested it was for crack or meth he used every drug in the book but you gotta give him credit he kicked heroin and I'm proud of him for that
This ones for Scott, who's talent not only brought my parents together, but also brought my family together. One of my parents first dates together as a couple, was at an STP show. 'Date night' for my parents meant going to a concert whenever they could. STP was one of those bands my parents shared a love for. My parents were & still are huge fans of not only STP but Weiland in general, & this news of his passing is hard to take in. Thank you for bringing my family together Scott with your voice, your mind, your soul & your talent. Shine on you crazy diamond.
This is a day that will go do in memory as a 'Where were you when you heard the news about...' moment. It is such a heartache, I understand I wasn't a close friend but he brought joy to this household, I could put his music on anytime of day and my parents would tell me to play it louder. It's sad to see him leave so soon.
That's a beautiful thing and his music really helped me through those awkward depressing teenage years. I have either hummed or listened to his music everyday since '93.
+aug71 This it's one of the most beautiful and emotional comment I've read since he left.Thank u so much.You're parents must be amazing and beautiful people & u too.I was a big fan of S.T.P ,they are a big part of my teeneager life.And it was so heartbreaking and sad.He was the spirit,the really frontman of an incredible band,with incredible lyrics,and such an AMAZING voice.My God!!!What a voice!!!Like I said to my sister and also to one of my best friends...Now he's another shinny star,he can stay in peace without no worries,no more pain and protecting his wife,his childs,and the rest of the people that really love him.Won't be never forget.R.I.P,Scott.Thanx for all you gave to us.And thank you for sharing this so special comment.
+Julian Emdon It sucks that Scott Passed but I was suprised B/c all the guys party they know how to party but Scott didnt know when to stop Scott Weiland RIP
Still believe the unplugged version is second only to Alice in Chains. I always make my way back to that special. Truly remarkable band and frontman. Soundtrack of my teens.
The thing that just puts a lump in my throat after being around when he and STP became a BIG DEAL is the fact he made a beautiful Christmas album and was said to have a childlike giddiness for Christmas. Scott you were too fragile for this world. Thanks for staying as long as you could.
Your comment REALLY hit home for me, in tears. I, like Scott, was molested. And like Scott I've been battling addiction and depression for decades, because when one is high the pain finally goes away. I also love Christmas, to me it's always been magical. Those of us whose childhood was stolen and who are sensitive do tend to be this way. It's a tough hard world, and it truly sucks that he's gone but I pray he's at peace now. I am staying the course for my sobriety, I have people I love who love me and it's for them and myself that I stay clean. Ngl though it's extremely hard at times, especially when things are hard. Those who've traveled this road know, and compassionate people like you make ALL the difference. Bless you. ❤
You ever heard the story about him and Kurt Cobain where Cobain apparently said "I've been told your band sounds like Nirvana, I think you owe me some royalties". Weiland responded by pulling a single crumpled up dollar bill out of his pocket. 🙂🌠
I was at that very show in The Woodlands, TX, when he rambled about his drinking, his brother dying, and his recent divorce. It was surreal. There was always a hint of sadness about his personal life that seemed to also give him such an edge as a singer and performer. I truly miss Scott.
It made me sick to my stomach that people kept cheering every time he mentioned something heartbreaking he was going through. They weren't listening at all. I just wanted to hug him. Poor, poor soul.
I saw Scott at an AA meeting once. No joke I did. I was sitting there and I looked across the room and was like holy shit that guy looks like Scott Weiland. Looked a little closer and was like holy shit that is Scott Weiland and Duff McKagan.
Yeah, I believe it. Both those guys were clean and sober at one point, sadly now just Duff. Also its funny about Steven Tyler, because he also attended an NA meeting in Vancouver a year or so ago, I wasn’t there, but my friend got his picture with him afterwards. Pretty cool.
He seemed like a genuinely nice guy who just happened to be stuck in various addictions he couldn't control. I was really sad when i heard he had passed. R.I.P Scott
this is a class a example of what drugs can do to you. look at how amazing he sounded 15 years ago in vasoline, with The Doors, and on the Xmas special. Then watch the vasoline video from 2015....speaks for itself
that is so ...ignorant. he WAS on drugs when he sounded the best, and that Vasoline botch was probably drinking. He drank way too much toward the end. So people, for crying out loud, stop talking about what you sint now about. Not that drugs are good or anything. I'm just sick of people disrespecting him (especially now, but I got upset before, too) by insinuating they know anything about his habits. I believe he was pretty straightforward about his using, and if one has done drugs, one knows when another is or isn't on them. And he wasn't. maybe at the very end, but I strongly believe it was his prescription bipolar meds that ruined him. there is a definite line that cam be drawn in the way he looked and performed, starting in, oh....maybe 2013?
+ARBIZA Rock Band... look guys I wasn't trying to disrespect Scott in any way, I've been a fan of STP,Velvet Revolver, and Scott Weiland and The Wildabouts for years now, I was simply stating what drugs (or drinking, etc) can do to a guy, and using that as an example. I know it's probably wasn't the best example to use, but it wasn't supposed to be taken so harshly. Everyone has off days, and I get that. R.I.P Scott
RIP Scott Weiland...im ashamed of all the social media that highlights you at your worst...but sadly thats what the media loves...so sad.You were an amazing vocalist
+Lucas Troo Right there with you. Saw STP twice. The first time was in '03 at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia (great show), then again in 2011(?) at The Santa Barbara Bowl (not so great). Either way, he gave us great music.
Another talent gone from earth. Still in heart. He was an old school crooner, imo. Capable of magic no matter what time period he could be placed. Hope peace has found you, Scott
I have never heard a bigger cry for help than when he was talking about picking up drinking just sad , so much talent followed by tremendous amounts of pain whether it be self inflicted or not. My prayers to his family that supported him
+Ron La Manna I just watched an interview with him from 5 years ago on Howard Stern. At that time, he said he needed to pay at least 60 grand a month in alimony and child support. He was cash poor, though he did have stocks, homes and a retirement account. The bottom line is: if he was that cash poor 5 years ago, you could imagine how broke he was now. He was really in no shape to be touring the country, either mentally, physically or musically. He was trying to make bank, and for most of the shows he wasn't performing well at all. I think it's a tragic situation all the way around. He once was a very talented individual who was now reduced to doing gigs in small clubs to pay his bills. RIP Scott...you will be missed, and I will remember you for what you once were, not to what you were reduced to in the end.
As a teenybopper saw Morrison concert in 68, saw Weiland at a party in 99; both beautiful men with a penchant for addiction. I don't believe Jim died of heart attack & same with Scott, but man we got robbed of two giant talents!
I am a pretty big STP fan. From Core to their self-titled album, I've listened to them all until the CD melted. That Vasolene bit broke my heart and got under my skin. For shame, Weiland.
I can't tell if that's a legitimate statement or not, buuuuut just in case you didn't understand that I was joking: As far as I know, CDs only get really warm, and not literally melt.
well said! I love STP too. His voice is phenomenal, when he's sober. The bit he did with the Doors is insanely awesome. I think he wrestles with a demon that wins most of the time.
Tragic on so many levels in that we no longer have anyone like Scott, fiery, dangerous, poetic...a superstar without any doubt; a modern-day Jim Morrison and boy did he fit right in with The Doors....magical. RIP Rockstar x
Saw Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts at a festival in Memphis, 3 months before his passing, & man that was a rough show. Didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, sped up songs & saying he was on autopilot would be an understatement. Hate that my first time seeing him was during that time in his life.
Thankyou for being such a huge inspiration in my teenage years, you were one of if not the best performers I've ever seen in ly life. I hope and pray that you have met your maker Scott and you can finally find your true peace. You're a legend and will forever be a fabric of millions of fans. I will never forget you Scott, love you R.I.P brotha !!
Now you can finally see what the rents like in heaven scott, Rip man. truly bummed out since I heard about this lastnight. favorite 2 singers gone now. layne and scott.
he was sooo talented. That gig with the doors was incredible. And let's not forget his years with Velvet Revolver. Such a seducing voice (for lack of another word lol). l feel so sorry he was so fucked up
You want to hear the perfect example of Scott's beautiful voice listen to the song Atlanta. Been a fan since 92'. You are missed & I am so grateful I got to experience you live in all your glory 2x in the 90's!
Drink and drugs do horrible things to those joys in life like talent, families, fun, etc. It’s fun when you start, but then somewhere along the line it turns on you...
One of my favorite bands growing up and current favorite. Let me tell you, everytime I listen to Scott's voice, it makes me tear up. What a wonderful soul this world has seen, hopefully we all get to hear his new album when its our time, for now we'll enjoy the thunder while we're down here and he's up there.
dick wyss As a professional shirk I can reasonably say he had personality issues but not Bipolar disorder. He had a personality disorder. He was doomed without help. Of course, he would have refused i
damn so freaking sad right now.... so much potential.... he gave so much.... I owe a big part of who i am to this guy. He will greatly be missed.... A true poet, im sad that he couldnt stay with us longer..... but glad that he left us with so much.
Because doing that, and not of the negatives, would be unfair to us and to him. It’s important to show both how great he was and how awful he could be while fucked up. An immensely talented vocalist and a tortured soul. It’s a lesson. Stay away from coke and heroin at all costs.
R.I.P Scott I pray and hope you found peace with God. My prayers are with his family and friends for this sudden loss. Loved his voice growing up he truly was special to us growing up in the 90s.
Shame I was born too late to see Scott before he became a drugged up mess... He had such an amazing voice back in the 90s and even in the early 2000s but it just got wasted...
+String Bender Yeah, the last time I saw STP Scott was out of trouble w/ the law, clean n sober and they were promoting their CD No.4. I have to say it was an amazing concert it was also Eric Kretz (the drummers B-Day) Great show!!! That's how I will remember STP in top form rock'n a sold out show in the zone w/ the audience, playing at their best!!!
I am a huge fan of The Doors, firstly. Secondly, Scott fan, so I was blown away at his performance with The Doors was beyond epic. He did justice to Morrison..breaks my heart ❤️ he lassed away after such a struggle.
His talent reached far beyond “grunge”, that’s what made him a true talent. The first album , yes, was grunge, but Purple, the album that really made him a superstar, one can hear all sorts of influences in the songs, from country to seventies pop to Eastern Indian influences. He was a true talent in the 90s. Then drugs happened.
Rip Scott it's said to see such a man with so much talent die this young it hit me hard when I found out he was struggling and when he was found dead it was worse rip Scott we will miss you
The 2015 performance of "Vasoline" says it all -- he's not even TRYING to sing there...He's just mumbling and droning off key. So sad...wasted his family life and his talent all for a few moments of partying accompanied by far more moments of despair and withdrawal.
I can't think of a bad VR or STP song, and that's because of the attitude and talent that he brought to the table. When I saw that video of Vasoline earlier in 2015 and then another denial about not drug use, I knew the writing was on the wall. It's so sad to watch a once vibrant, energetic performer shrivel up and die right in front of our eyes. I feel for his wife, kids and family and hope he's finally found some peace.
Very sad....he is so talented and now he is just fried. I always loved his voice...very distinct and unique and now its dead. I still play Core and unplugged often to keep that voice alive. Layne Staley was dead inside and high during AIC's unplugged, and alot of their shows, but his pain made his voice even more amazing. Scott, being in complete denial,...not so much. Hope you can someday Recover Scott...I'm a recovering heroin addict myself who is friends with your old Sponser. Stop killing yourself.
The performance with The Doors 1:53 was incredible! I've never seen that footage before now. Such an underrated vocalist and front man.
+Reanne York I know right? Sounds very close to Jim Morrison there. Uncanny!
+Reanne York Agreed! I was blown away by how amazing he sounded with them (so similar to Jim!), as well as the Christmas song. He had a beautiful voice.
Me either!!!I'm so...I can't describe it.I haven't seen it before this.Wowww!!
+Reanne York I love how the band kept looking over at him thinking it was Jim singing, haha. They had that, "omg he sounds so much like Jim" look on them.
listen to the STP song Atlanta. His vocals are similar
The clips where he's high are just utterly heartbreaking. RIP Scott
I can’t watch it
Yeah, the way they put a Vasoline performance from 2001 and one from 2015 back to back... just shows how bad it got... heartbreaking.
And then his statement about being sober for 13 years, having been made just a few months before he died and right after that footage where he was clearly wasted... and how it didn't match the timeline at all (he was arrested for possession in 2004, if I remember correctly, so he couldn't have been sober for 13 years just 11 years later).
A great talent that was ruined by drugs and by his inner struggles.
Oh calm down. It's kinda hilarious.
i dont think he was able to get high anymore
I think he meant that he was clean off heroin which would be true when he was arrested it was for crack or meth he used every drug in the book but you gotta give him credit he kicked heroin and I'm proud of him for that
Addiction runs in so many smart, talented, and amazing people.

You must be out of your mind
Exactly Lori either a young David Bowie or maybe just from the head up I’m going to say John Waite

You want to hear the perfect example of Scott's beautiful voice listen to the song Atlanta. Been a fan since 92'. You are missed & I am so grateful I got to experience you live in all your glory 2x in the 90's!
Dammit Scott why do you sound like that drunk guy in a bar who knows the song but sounds terrible :( sad to see him like that
Especially brokenhearted drunk guy
Drink and drugs do horrible things to those joys in life like talent, families, fun, etc. It’s fun when you start, but then somewhere along the line it turns on you...
One of my favorite bands growing up and current favorite. Let me tell you, everytime I listen to Scott's voice, it makes me tear up. What a wonderful soul this world has seen, hopefully we all get to hear his new album when its our time, for now we'll enjoy the thunder while we're down here and he's up there.
That was a really beautiful way to put that, thank you.
bipolar disorder and addictions, recipe for death. He was sooo talented!
dick wyss As a professional shirk I can reasonably say he had personality issues but not Bipolar disorder. He had a personality disorder. He was doomed without help. Of course, he would have refused i
@@druoleary He was actually supposed to be on bipolar meds for a long part of his life.
Just like Chester Bennington 😞😢
@@druoleary you mean borderline?
@@druoleary you’re full of shit, because a professional would never dispute or give a diagnosis of someone who they’ve never met.
Rest in peace friend thank you for the music.
13 yrs?! He's the only one that believed that lie .Damn shame.
yeah sad... but I can not stop laughing, I think he really wanted to believe, the way it says lol
He talked about heroin...
"I've been sober for 13 years" vows to stop doing dope 5 years earlier
@@vinyldiary6664 nothing fucking funny about that, asshole.
wow he sounded great with that doors tune. looked awesome as well.
1:00 *13 minutes
one of the best Christmas covers ever
One of the best singers in the music history scott weiland "the chameleon"
RIP scott, loved your music,, enjoy the outside man
damn so freaking sad right now.... so much potential.... he gave so much.... I owe a big part of who i am to this guy. He will greatly be missed.... A true poet, im sad that he couldnt stay with us longer..... but glad that he left us with so much.
1:32 TY Scott from a Latino who's Loved STP Since '93.
One would think that you'd only highlight his most positive unforgettable moments. Even in death, people can't seem to show any respect.
Because doing that, and not of the negatives, would be unfair to us and to him. It’s important to show both how great he was and how awful he could be while fucked up. An immensely talented vocalist and a tortured soul. It’s a lesson. Stay away from coke and heroin at all costs.
1000000 percent !!
This vid was made before he died...
same thoughts bro. its just sad.
It says unforgettable, not best. Death doesn't grant you sainthood.
amazing compilation video that pretty much explains it.
genius and madness thanks for the music and memories
R.I.P Scott I pray and hope you found peace with God. My prayers are with his family and friends for this sudden loss. Loved his voice growing up he truly was special to us growing up in the 90s.
Shame I was born too late to see Scott before he became a drugged up mess... He had such an amazing voice back in the 90s and even in the early 2000s but it just got wasted...

Yeah, the last time I saw STP Scott was out of trouble w/ the law, clean n sober and they were promoting their CD No.4. I have to say it was an amazing concert it was also Eric Kretz (the drummers B-Day) Great show!!! That's how I will remember STP in top form rock'n a sold out show in the zone w/ the audience, playing at their best!!!
I am a huge fan of The Doors, firstly. Secondly, Scott fan, so I was blown away at his performance with The Doors was beyond epic. He did justice to Morrison..breaks my heart ❤️ he lassed away after such a struggle.
wow, I don't know much about Scott or listen to STP to often but when he was singing Christmas songs and the doors holy shit that guy can sing.
Classic crooner voice. It was magnificent.
Such a haunting ending to this video when you watch it at this time of year...:( R.I.P. man
Greatest rock star thats ever lived....Scott's untimely death will forever immortalize the man. God bless his loved ones.
thanks and have a merry christmas yourself, Scott.
Que en Paz descanses Scott se te extrañara mucho. :(
My favorite unplugged was STP. Great show.
I'm a huge fan of STP. But wow, I really miss the Scott from the 90's :(
Thanks for the music when I was a teenager. R.I.P. Scott
he is in grunge heaven with Kurt and Layne -____-
thething75191 now Chris
May their memory be eternal!😭🙏🏻🌹
Also known as “hell”.
and chris
His talent reached far beyond “grunge”, that’s what made him a true talent. The first album , yes, was grunge, but Purple, the album that really made him a superstar, one can hear all sorts of influences in the songs, from country to seventies pop to Eastern Indian influences. He was a true talent in the 90s. Then drugs happened.
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Scott at 3:25:
Rip Scott it's said to see such a man with so much talent die this young it hit me hard when I found out he was struggling and when he was found dead it was worse rip Scott we will miss you
I still miss him so much 😢
Him and Kurt Cobain are haven fun in heaven. RIP Scott
+Sh0o7erMCTV and Layne Staley
they were both killed by the same murderer. CLove
They def are not in heaven! lol!
***** Well they're somewhere haven a great time
+Sh0o7erMCTV No. they're not doing anything. They're just dead.
Damn shame. Isn't it?
when he was good..he was very good...great vocals. ..he left alot of great music for us to listen to. ..amazing vocals
The 2015 performance of "Vasoline" says it all -- he's not even TRYING to sing there...He's just mumbling and droning off key.
So sad...wasted his family life and his talent all for a few moments of partying accompanied by far more moments of despair and withdrawal.
What a voice that could do it all.
Scott you are missed, RIP brother😟
goodbye angel! thanks for the music!!
I can't think of a bad VR or STP song, and that's because of the attitude and talent that he brought to the table. When I saw that video of Vasoline earlier in 2015 and then another denial about not drug use, I knew the writing was on the wall. It's so sad to watch a once vibrant, energetic performer shrivel up and die right in front of our eyes. I feel for his wife, kids and family and hope he's finally found some peace.
im so lucky ive seen this guys in argentina 2010 ... we will miss you scott
Very sad....he is so talented and now he is just fried. I always loved his voice...very distinct and unique and now its dead. I still play Core and unplugged often to keep that voice alive. Layne Staley was dead inside and high during AIC's unplugged, and alot of their shows, but his pain made his voice even more amazing. Scott, being in complete denial,...not so much. Hope you can someday Recover Scott...I'm a recovering heroin addict myself who is friends with your old Sponser. Stop killing yourself.
Melissa Petras he's dead.
What a ride its been..THANKS MAN...RIP..Scott..
0:33 is when I knew the dream was over.
Been waiting for this!
