How To Sing PLUSH - Stone Temple Pilots - Scott Weiland

In this video I take you line-by-line through singing STP's PLUSH! Get great singing tips and see how singing songs like this can be broken into simple steps.
How To Sing PLUSH - Stone Temple Pilots - Scott Weiland
"Plush", by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots. It is one of the band's biggest hits, becoming their first single to top the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and was released as the second single from the band's 1992 debut studio album, Core. Vocalist.
In grimm fashion, the song's chord structure was inspired by bassist Robert DeLeo's love of ragtime music, and its lyrics were loosely based on a newspaper article lead singer Scott Weiland had read about a girl who had been found dead after having been kidnapped in the early 1990s. Weiland had also said that the song's lyrics are a metaphor for a failed relationship.
Weiland, being a dominant vocalist through the grunge era, was a highly requested demonstration for KTVA so I decided to take on the challenge.

Ken Tamplin is the real deal. I purchased his course. My daughter Ysabel and i are working though the program. It is well worth it to purchase the How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else course. Thank you Brian Merk

[@kentamplin]

Fantastic!

[@darksidessj25]

I am doing his program as well. I been doing it for 7 months and took me a while to get the hang of things. Keep going. I promise it gets easier. Hard work and dedication pay off. I been doing the program for 2 hours a day + 5-6 days a week.

[@edmanzetti1235]

Have you noticed the depth or knowledge and details in his outlines? There’s so much info - I think it maybe best to learn it using the spiral technique- where one begins and then circles back over the previously reviewed knowledge while simultaneously adding a new chapter- and continue the video lm the body and are we we

[@omkardandekar]

Well what can I say. I was just doing my work out with Ken using his treasure course. And i just, just now told my wife that this the best thing ever happen to me for my musical life, than I met with Ken on KZbin. I jumped on to purchase his course. And I am learning so so much!! All my vocal progress credit goes to one and only Ken Tamplin, that's it.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Scott was the real deal and so are you Ken!

Takes me back to high school. I rebelled against the grunge because I so loved the hair metal. But these songs just kicked ass. They were the sound track to my life back then. Those DeLeo's can write some incredible music.

[@glall3603]

Scott was such an underrated singer. Ken can you please explain how he changed his voice over the years?

[@tastefulsubstance]

Drugs?

Hey Ken! Had to pull out my STP from my music library. Haven't listened to these in awhile. STP jams! Great music, great vocals. Thanks Ken for reminding me about this incredible band. Hello neighbors volume is going up!!🔈🔉🔊

I'm so glad you spot lighted Scott Weiland. I love his voice. I have to say you killed that song! Awesome!

[@desolatemetro]

There's another vocal coach on KZbin that was making the case that Vedder wasn't really doing what everyone says vocalists of the 90s do to get that sound. If you listen to Vedder speak, especially back then, that's just how he talks. But I think he created a style that a lot of people tried to imitate, and which most people sounded ridiculous trying to imitate. I think you teaching how to sing it properly and then close down a bit sounds a lot more natural than some of the imitators did in the 90s. Love to see grunge era stuff on your channel since thats what I grew up on!

[@JSMI]

😂 that starters joke. Naughty truth.... dude you're one of the only vocal expert online that demonstrates the goods and keeps posting new covers regularly. My hat to you Ken Tamplin.

[@katesjanice]

Ken, have you ever seen/watched VoicePlay? Five guys who sing acapella and add creative theatrics. The gentleman who sings bass (can't remember his name) is astounding - I can't believe how low he can go. It's like sitting right in front of a subwoofer at high volume. I have no doubt that you would have no problem with that low register. And you've probably heard & seen them, but if you haven't, please do. So enjoyable!

[@newageassholes]

Yeah Ken you definitely sound better than me singing that in my car.

[@Pepsolman]

Wow. A lesson about a group of dead singers. All who I grew up listening to. I tried to tackle this song. I’m taking notes on your Scott approach. Very nice. I’ve never tried singing cleanly first. I’ve always tried to sing naturally like Layne, Scott, or Chris up front. Maybe that’s why I lose my tone… go flat or sharp. I want to sound rugged and tough. Not like a choir boy. But to achieve it first as a choir boy is the secret. I think this approach would help me when tackling Brent Smith from Shinedown.

[@Santafunk]

This dude is super cool👍 really can hear that "proof"

You're awesome man.

Thank you Ken. Long live Scott Weiland 🙏♥️

[@danadane2501]

I hear what you're saying . I've encountered a ton of vocal coaches ( what ever that means today ) whom I've never heard sing a song all the way through. I had one formal teacher 2002 - 2004 and she still performs to this day . I was actuactually her first student . Before she started her own academy . Heard her records and covers . Anyway my point is I got really lucky . I'm 40 now so I'm considered a 90s kid but in the 90s I hated the Seattle scene and listened all 80s Metal and Rock back then and now . Regardless you did an exceptional job explaining and demonstrating how these 90s grunge singers approached and executed their songs .

[@KG-th3cr]

Anyone who's familiar with you knows that you don't suggest anything that you do not demonstrate yourself. Great singing Ken! This is one of my go-to songs for Karaoke. Really fun song to sing.

[@eclipticpath]

This is a great video! You should do a whole series where you analyze your and your students' covers segment by segment. Your covers are top notch but breaking them down and explaining what you're doing is even better!

[@kentamplin]

Take a look at some of my How To Sing Like videos to see a breakdown with some of my students.

Ken your the BOMB. Totally Rad-man. You have the proof in the voice.

[@steveregotti8542]

Very good voice!!!

[@SingingLessonsINC]

These other coaches never actually sing any songs. It's relatively easy to eek out a line or two, that is not an example. It's another thing altogether to actually grade the quality of the voice on not only an entire song, but multiple songs in many styles with many students demonstrating themselves. This is the only true way to know if a method is actually working or not.

Can you say…. Jim Morrison? A voice like this sounds much better with a Baritone singer than with higher range. Not that it can’t be done but a low(er) ranged singer really shines with this sort of stuff. Just my .2

I think the challenge of this song isn’t so much the range, it’s not sounding like everyone’s dad doing Karaoke. When done poorly, this is I feel like, the ultimate dad jarl song. But when done well, such a weirdly calm rock song. Well done as always ken.

Hi Ken! I enjoy your videos on KZbin. I find you to be a wealth of knowledge. I really want to learn how to sing, however, I feel like I’m not doing things correctly without a vocal coach actually listening to me, pointing out and correcting the mistakes I am making. How would your course benefit someone like me? I’m sure your course is great because you are very talented, and are thorough with your instruction. I’m just not confident I can do these techniques without someone critiquing me. Do you think someone like me would need to take lessons in person with a coach? Thanks!

[@kentamplin]

Many people use my course and, when they have begun to have a solid foundation, will schedule a private lesson to fine tune. That's pretty common. However, hearing that from me may not give you the assurance you seek. I suggest you join my vocal forum which has more than 20,000 members. Ask those people about their experience with the course. They will share, honestly, with you. That will help you make a more informed decision as to whether the course is a right fit for you! forum.kentamplinvocalacademy.com/
