First Time hearing Velvet Revolver. Scott Weiland and Slash leave me in pieces!

Individually, I've heard Scott Weiland on a few Stone Temple Pilots tracks, and of course Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum from Guns & Roses. And having talked with Myles Kennedy extensively in a tea time about his offer to front Velvet Revolver and turning it down, it's just been an itch I knew I needed to scratch at some point. And here we are! What a rollercoaster this one is!

From a little research, his addiction was pretty tough on his family life.

I quit drinking recently because it nearly killed me. My liver started failing and I couldn't urinate. I spent three days in the hospital. After that I was making monthly visits to the hospital after bingeing so I could get ativan so it could ease my hangovers. They were getting so bad I was getting very scared I was on my way out. I checked myself into rehab, and I'll be at 90 days sober tomorrow. The lyrics to this song are so incredibly real to an addict.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS - "Sour Girl" SOMEBODY has to react to this song. The thing with Weiland was, he had like 3 or 4 very distinct singing voices. From song to song, year to year, you might not even think it was the same guy if you didn't know better. It was incredible.

100%. I remember a buddy of mine telling me he didn’t like STP because he sang like Eddie Vedder and he hates Pearl Jam. I told him, Scott had so much range and so many styles that I can make you a playlist with dozens of songs where he sounds different on each one.

@@shaftpunk84 That's the example that always jumped out at me. "Interstate Love Song". Very Vedder - esque.

[@barascarmajere9775]

I relapsed on drugs and alcohol in the summer of 2021.Shame kept me from interacting with anyone in person so my friendships were all online. Isolation is the one thing I think most all addicts can relate to. June 6th of 2022 I entered the Life Recovery Program at the Union Gospel Mission and have been clean for 2 years 9 days. I am now a peer counselor and work with others that struggle with addiction. This song is a reminder for me, how things were and where I never want to go again.

[@marclavergne3899]

Great song - strong message and meaning. Velvet Revolver took forever to get off the ground even after they found Scott to sing. He had a real problem with substance abuse which is reflected through images in the video. Slash and Duff have spoken over the years about how hard it was to watch Scott struggle.

[@SlitherWhisp]

Especially considering some of Duff’s own struggles.

One thing I’ve always loved about this is how Duff’s bass isn’t so much a separate part, but an extension of the guitar parts Dave and Slash are playing. Almost like the left and right hands in a piano concerto by Bach or Chopin. It compliments Scotts voice so perfectly.

Masterpiece of music & imagery. Being 13yrs sober from alcohol myself, this song reminds me to never fight addiction alone. R.I.P Scott💜

[@evanpenn1]

Scott made it to 48, which is something of a miracle. He was a man who was not likely to make it to 30. He was on the Howard Stern show one time and just picked up a gas mask and put it on to start a song, and it was just epic. What a performer. RIP

[@metalmark1214]

The members of Velvet Revolver had been through wild bouts of drug addiction and alcoholism which in many ways were the byproduct of the rock stardom they experienced with their previous bands (Scott Weiland was ex-Stone Temple Pilots; Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum were in Guns N' Roses). "Fall to Pieces" relates to their tribulations, specifically those of Weiland, who wrote the lyric. He said the song deals with two issues: 1) Coming to terms with his heroin addiction. 2) His relationship with his second wife, Mary, which was falling apart. In both cases, Weiland felt like he was "falling to pieces." Source Songfacts

[@rbilleaud]

Don't forget about Dave.

[@relp78]

To all of the beautiful souls in this community I hope that you are all doing well and know that you matter and that you are loved! I love you!

[@markuswelbmd]

Scott was an incredible singer and songwriter. Even though he was a prominent figure in the 90’s rock scene I still don’t think he gets enough credit for his work. People always talk about Cornell, Staley, and Veder during that era. Rarely do you hear mention of Scott. Weiland was right there with them. RIP legend

There are a couple live performances with Myles Kennedy and Slash doing Velvet Revolver songs. You definitely need to find those.

[@oldguitarjames9303]

I was thinking of those. Myles has a range and power that few vocalists can match. Occasionally it means his delivery is less emotive because he's not pushing as hard. But I've never heard him sound bad whatever he chooses to sing. In that respect he reminds me of Chris Cornell.

I will give you that, but of the post-grunge era that were cut too short, I have to say Chester Bennington.

[@PaulLoh]

Slash has an amazing ability to weave his guitar around the vocals in a way that almost makes it another voice. Not quite a harmony, but a counterpoint. When I was in music school, I learned the language to speak of things I only intuitively knew, but couldn't put into words. I imagine his guitar like a dragon flying around the serpent of the vocal line. They dance around each other and it's wondrous to behold.

[@kellyboo5378]

You hit it on the head when you described the sound of Scott's voice and Slash's guitar. The guitar is the feeling of flying when using and the torture in Scott's voice is life falling to ruins because of it. Drinking and drugs are death to those of us with the disease of addiction. I'm so very grateful I'm in the small percentage who successfully got sober 12 years ago,

[@leviharrison1545]

Fall to Pieces reaction? Yep, I am ready to cry. Bring it on.

[@mikebowser1]

Slash is instantly recognizable when you hear him, he is one of the greats for sure. Scott’s voice turned out so beautiful. When STP’s first single came out ( called “ sex type thing”) I would never have guessed that he could sing so beautifully but as STP progressed, this softer side came out. Love it

[@SlitherWhisp]

Sex Type Thing and Dead And Bloated were the two songs that got me into STP. Hard to believe it was the same singer who later did Interstate Love Song or Sour Girl. What an amazing singer he was. 😢

[@WatchYourAttitude]

I'm so happy you made a video about Velvet Revolver. I was a huge Guns N' Roses fan when I was younger and them obviously became interested in Velvet Revolver as well. Their first album was fantastic. Unfortunately the second one wasn't as great. It's a shame things had to end the way they did. Scott's passing is a real tragedy. I would love it if you could check out Duff McKagan (their bass player) his solo music. I'd be interested to see what you think of his voice. I'd say he has an unusual voice that may not be for everyone, but I think his lyrics are very real and it shows a lot about who he is.

[@HelloMisterJAMWAH]

It's been a rough ride as a fan of all these grunge bands, seeing so many of the singers leave us. What's worse, I remember all the criticism they took for being miserable and having depressing lyrics. Well, yes. They were depressed and using music as a release. That's not to say the choice to get help isn't ultimately their own, but compassion would be more helpful than judgement. I read Scott Weiland's book 'Not Dead and Not for Sale' shortly after his passing and the disappointment he felt in himself for never staying clean was heartbreaking.

[@dust4magnet]

Pretty much the only singer from that scene that survived is Eddie Vedder. It's hard to comprehend. All of them were treasures. And yes, music did save my life many times. I've had struggles beyond measure. Music keeps me sane.

[@user-fj5qf7gt6n]

Ian Thornley, of Big Wreck and Thornley, was contacted twice by the guys forming Velvet Revolver to try out. The first time he declined because he was working on a Thornley album. The second time was after Scott was fired. He went and jammed with the guys and had a good experience but management wanted him to front with no guitar. He says maybe when he was younger but now set in his ways he didn't want to ditch the guitar. In retrospect he's never wanted to be "that guy" and isn't the 'peacock' type. He never set out to sing and didn't know he could sing like he does. Coincidentally his good friend Myles Kennedy was also asked to try out but now plays on occasion with Slash. It's a small world!

Fall To Pieces has been part of our set list for a few years now. More often than not I cry during the song. It is mostly cathartic as I cry because the tears are for my past search for a total blockage of feeling and and being grateful for recovery and also for those who never made peace with themselves and ended it all.

I had forgotten the band's origin! Thanks for the reminder

[@billmcdonough3950]

Yup. Duff McKagan (Bass) and Matt Sorum (Drums) were also from Guns. And this song probably means a lot to Slash and Duff after Steve Adler (original GnR drummer) struggled with addiction for so long, too.

[@ralphdougherty1844]

@@billmcdonough3950Slash had his own demons as well. He didn’t get clean until 2006.

[@elinino5275]

Matt sorum went on to work with Steve Steven in Deadland Ritual. They played the shit out of Slither. Geezer Butler on bass. Just amazing

Another Rollercoaster Reaction from Elizabeth? Yesss 😁 But for a real high-speed roller coaster reaction, I'm sending this suggestion to Metal Mom Elizabeth: "Kickstart my Heart" from Mötley Crüe

[@markvanderstelt8999]

No Thanks

[@ryanpaul4833]

Thank you for reviewing this song! It’s a powerful song and a lasting reminder of Scott’s amazing talent! We all miss him tremendously!

[@waded2129]

Thank you Elizabeth for this channel. Thank you. I needed it today.

It’s always sad when we lose a gifted artist who clearly sang about their pain and struggles in their music. The music is often. Never the same after they pass away. - Scott, Chester, Chris, Layne …

[@chucksherron]

You are correct. The music is no longer the same. The true meaning of ideas conveyed between the lines often becomes more clear and usually prophetic.

[@AKNeal81]

Slither next to experience Slash summon a celestial guitar solo from within! Sss

[@stevenmorrison8957]

Thanks for reacting to this. I haven't listened to this song in a long time, found it too hard after Scott passed away. Going through a painful divorce for the past year and haven't allowed myself to cry and pushed everything down but this made the tears flow. Thankyou X x

[@darryllcagle9090]

This one definitely hits the depression feels, and what a painful and terrible spiral they create. I still can't get through this one without "falling to pieces" just a bit myself. Slash, Matt and Duff never disappoint. Scott from his STP days was always fantastic. Putting the two together was an absolute master stroke.

[@JoeDunnit]

How bout some Mudvayne? World So Cold would probably be a good place to start. Wouldn't mind seeing some more Sevendust in your playlist too.

[@Vic-Vega]

Mudvayne were cheap Slipknot clones. Certainly not a band whose legacy is going to age well, if at all.

[@ronsuper100]

That's Scott Weilands wife as herself in this video. I'm sure some of these scenes were happening in their marriage. Sad.

[@chasing_dragons]

I was very fortunate to see Velvet Revolver four times in concert. Thank you for doing this reaction video, especially from a vocalist's point of view. Just imho, I think the "Contraband" album is Scott's best work. There was something about that band even during the "Libertad" era that had an intangible quality that was magical.

[@elinino5275]

Did they play GnR/STP songs on tour?

[@ndowroccus4168]

Love seeing the fun of Scott’s singing 🎵 n this song being appreciated…. Ty cv

[@lMarcusl]

Video 86 of requesting a return to Ne Obliviscaris.

[@laurieemme1534]

Suggesting SLASH ft. MYLES KENNEDY and the Conspirators - "Mind Your Manners". And I will be watching tomorrow for "Fall to Pieces"!

[@angelskaixo5188]

I'm 34 years old, and the first song I can remember hearing is the cover of Knockin' on heavens door by G'N'R. At 14 I got a guitar, and 20 years later, Slash's playing still pulls my heart strings. He is the reason I'm a musician today

[@bulletmaniac69]

2005 was such an amazing year. Got this album for my 15th birthday after growing up on Guns and the idea that (at the time) they'd never get back together and then these guys got together and became the soundtrack for my late teens. 😍

[@richard_n]

I'm really surprised that Slither wasn't the first pick considering it was their biggest hit and there's a great live version to react to.

[@michaelgonda962]

I feel like Velvet Revolver really only had two good songs, which is not unusual for many "super groups", but WOW, the two "good" songs are absolutely amazing. This is one of them, Slither is the other and that song what made me purchase the whole album when it was first released.

[@downboys]

WAY more than 2 good songs. Sorry.

[@aaronscott506]

Yesssssssssssssssssss. Love this song. Scott and Slash together are stunning. RIP Scott 🖤

[@johnloftus6043]

Love your channel. Great descriptions and analysis. Keep up the great work.

[@anthonyvalade2959]

It's haunting on how the song mirrors his life especially now that he is gone....the guitar and voice are like one....makes the hair rise on your arm how good the song is....RIP scott!

[@danhurley2274]

Thanx very much Elizabeth for the great reaction and analysis of Fall TO Pieces by Velvet Revolver!!! I was very fortunate to se Velvet Revolver live and they were so so good. A show that I will never forget.

[@daniel35337]

Thank you reviewing this, and being so kind to Scott. Many thanks, because this is a hard one…

[@Robert_Herring]

Wonderful song. Thanks for sharing your analysis.
