Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts - "The Jean Genie" (David Bowie Cover) | House Of Strombo

[@DACOSTA78]

I’m here because I’m missing Scott today. God, I loved this man.

[@gailkarabell5733]

Scott Weiland the ultimate entertainer, multi talented, ever changing. You are missed, such talent 😢

[@lauramalizia9636]

It’s a shame. You can hear the damage cocaine did to his nose. I sing, but don’t do drugs. I’ve had bad sinus issues and 4 sinus surgeries at 44, but never drank, did drugs or smoked. He was very talented and naturally gifted, good looking but this makes me so sad. Especially knowing he’s only about 4 years older than I am right now.💔

[@hunterwest54]

God I love this guy.. My favorite front man besides Bon Scott... I mean this man gave everything to his music.. A true Rockstar in every sense of the word. I see people saying he wasn't himself there at the end and this and that... but that's bullshit. I've seen interviews of him slurring his words and looking messed up yes, but there are also interviews where hes just fine and is talking as normal as ever. The man had addiction demons. He just drank too much with his medication..that's all it is.. unfortunately we get old and in Rock N Roll time is not your friend.. Scott we will never forget you brother.. The best frontman of the 90s and my second favorite of all time... Thank you for the memories man and I hope you are resting some place peaceful getting to play as much Rock N Roll as you can.. Nothing but love brother ... ✌🖤🤘

[@erichiscock1032]

weiland is the best. also the best to cover bowie

[@216Numbskull]

Nah, he does a better Morrison then Bowie. Best to cover Bowie is Bauhaus covering Ziggy Stardust. And I say that with no disrespect. Being Scott was one of my favorite singers. Hell even listen to STP on their original song Atlanta. It's kinda chilling the way Scott sounds. It's if Morrison possessed Scott and also when Scott sang with The Doors.

[@garymay799]

@@216Numbskull Fucking sick of hearing how great the Doors where . Shite ok bonehead .

[@lauramalizia9636]

@@216Numbskull I agree. It’s the energy that comes through him when he did Break on thru with the doors that was the icing on the cake. Like Morrison was trying to bust out of Scott’s body and come back! You could tell the band felt it too.

[@Ukuleleal]

Awesome cover, and quite poignant.

[@bowiepua521]

Wow

[@christinegatto7426]

Scott Weiland could sing anything. His voice takes me to a better place. This version of the song Jean Genie was better than the original because Scott sang it with soul.

[@charrro7]

he was good, but no better than Bowie

[@brianwalendy3735]

Bowie had soul even after he died. Unfortunately, Scott's was long gone, as evidenced by this performance.

[@albertflowers510]

turn up the volume the party its beggining on the other side!

Thats not a party they stoking the fire

[@lauramalizia9636]

Just like Layne Staley towards the end.

[@pdxorbust27]

Laura Malizia My thoughts exactly. I just made this comment.

[@pdxorbust27]

glimmertwinsproduct He did not sing well at all. Not for him.

[@brianwalendy3735]

"Sits like a man, smiles like a reptile..." Astute observation regarding the similarity to Layne, a sad, eerie one at that.

[@jessesauceda8695]

They were just for the paycheck they never help him.

[@AaronStark1993]

The bass player was a huge enabler. When Scott was found dead he was arrested for drug possession and was obviously high in his mugshot. He was only in the band because he was Scott's drug buddy.

[@lauramalizia9636]

@@AaronStark1993 right. Not saying they never did their share, but that’s why stp and velvet revolver had no choice but to let him go.

[@AaronStark1993]

@@lauramalizia9636 - Exactly. And the original guitar player of the Wildabouts also died of an overdose. It seemed like Scott surrounded himself with people who wouldn't call him out on his bullshit.

Cool.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Totally. Sad.

[@mottahead6464]

Scott Weiland at the time of this video session : - Voice : shot - Looks : emaciated - Attitude : non-attitude/ minimalist/ hypomobile (looks depressed) Yet : Perhaps the last real rock star. Some older guys are still alive, yet what they do has a lot more to do with managing their corporate cultural portfolio (great rock songs they wrote while young) then with real go-for-the-throat rock and roll.

[@pdxorbust27]

Mottahead Bowie was still alive when this was made. Actually, it reminds me of Layne Staley during the MTV Unplugged show. He just sat there. Glasses on, no emotion, voice shot. I found this very depressing. But what a great song to cover. It would’ve sounded awesome when he was sober💔

[@johnlove7214]

Man he was without doubt in a bad why you look at some of his last performances and you see the hurt in his eyes but his voice wasn't done he was still amazing

[@AlexanderSpear]

He's so high in this video 😞

[@professorkaos2781]

you can see the scott of this era doesn't emote at all...he is heavily medicated my guess would be anti-psychotics and an SSRI

[@lauramalizia9636]

Professor Kaos as well as his own preferred cocktail of alcohol and cocaine. He claimed he wasn't on heroin for years but... I don't know. Only God knows as he knows the hour of our death and all the things people will find out about all of us when we're gone.

[@pdxorbust27]

I’ve never seen SSRI’s do this to someone. Maybe the combo, but not by themselves. and I’ve had some bad reactions to them.

[@joannapatey9263]

Add alcohol to the mix then yes this would do this too you, but however ssri were not found on his bus when he died so not convinced he was on them it would have been more likely benzos mixed with alcohol plus prescription meds

[@barbodamiri104]

Prescribed meds-MDA-Cocaine(the reason his looking empty and dead like thiss)-alcohol-benzos which all have shown on his toxiclogy report

[@professorkaos2781]

@@barbodamiri104 dont think MDA and cocaine was prescribed but sure the benzos aren't a suprise at all. Also, I think MDA is more dissasociative than MDMA (could be wrong though) and could explain why hes so zone out.
