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!

[@marcelocabral3748]

This song is a hard pill to swallow after Scotts passing. The clip and the music are a haunting depiction of addicton to drugs and alcohol. RIP Scott, your voice and memory goes on.

[@ClassicChad]

"hard pillow" I agree with you on the rest ....

[@Grungycat67]

@marcelocabral3748-perfectly said, word for word 😞

[@buzzbomb67]

It was hard before he passed. Even harder after. Still gets me, hearing it now.

[@MartinBryan]

The bass player Duff McKagan’s backing vocals are often overlooked on this. Glad you mentioned the harmonies. You should really check out his latest solo album or Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains plays guitar and sings with him as well.

[@buzzbomb67]

@@MartinBryan Fun fact: In the early 80s, when Duff was in The Fartz, he was the drummer…. And had no clue how to play drums. Lol

[@DoktorDevious]

I think what made me happiest about this is just how kind you are Elizabeth, the world needs more people caring, thank you.

[@v10ramTony]

I had this long, critical, useless comment typed. Maybe even posted. I read your comment and it was like it zero'd me. I go to work and one of the first things I do is zero big machines... I need to start zero'ing myself.

[@elusivelectron]

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.

[@AceAnnie1-7]

Well done. Hope you continue to make a good recovery x

[@JustinRose5629]

I lost my father 19 years ago today from liver failure. My earliest memories are of him drinking. A lot of people don’t realise that it’s a disease and not a easy fix. Stay strong and a great achievement in reaching 90 day

[@M0torsagmannen]

i'm proud of you, keep going.

[@Sebrof3]

@Sebrof3 0 seconds ago Keep up the great work brother!/sister! Don’t want to assume...lol

[@rebeccabourque7704]

Congratulations on your sobriety. I lost someone very special to me because of alcohol. His liver failed, he received a transplant and drank that one to death also. I wish you a long and healthy life.

[@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

[@RobertSmith-js2kz]

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.

[@guggie]

Scot Weiland was a vocal chameleon. He had so much variety in his voice. It’s one of the things I loved about him.

[@0175gre]

Electric barbarella...straight Bowieesque

[@shaftpunk84]

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.

[@RobertSmith-js2kz]

@@shaftpunk84 That's the example that always jumped out at me. "Interstate Love Song". Very Vedder - esque. Another popular song off that album - "Vasoline" ... completely different voice / affectation, whatever you want to call it. And there are others. "Sour Girl" kind of stands out for me. Whole OTHER "voice".

[@EricT3769]

“Sour Girl” is another STP great!

[@ajtheronin]

I can't watch this video without crying. RIP Scott.

[@beckstar78]

yep..bawling

[@RobinDavis-se6qi]

Just turned 58 yesterday & hadn't watched this in probably a year & this is my 1st time watching a reaction to it & yep I cried during the video yet again😢

[@groovymcnasty]

So many of these videos are heart-wrenching in retrospective, we sang along with Scott, Lane, and Chester’s tortured cries for help and then seemed shocked when they finally succumb to their vices.

[@joshstanton267]

Yup 😢

[@dancarter482]

"Another Holiday Inn, another temporary home and an interviewer threatens me with a microphone 'talk to me, won't you tell me your story?' So I talked about conscience and I talked about pain - he looked out the window it started to rain. I thought maybe, I've already gone crazy? So I reached for the bottle and he reached for the door and I picked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor - inviting me to casual obscenity."

[@rdejaynes]

never shocked always one ear to the wind hoping to here happiness and healing from him, but instead......

[@theakh4238]

Add Cornell to that mix. In away, his pain was hidden even more.

[@megabug79]

With Scott and Layne it was never "if", it was sadly always "when ".

[@dudeabides1532]

Their best song IMO. Slash’s guitar sound is just golden here. Scott’s voice is incredible and you can tell how personal the lyrics are to him.

[@natespost]

Two different voices singing the same song. Scott's vocals and Slash's guitar. Beautiful ❤

[@antemoden8726]

People can talk all the shit they want about how Slash is "overrated" and not good "technically". But his sense of melody and his phrasing is next to none.

[@joebartlett3255]

I can hear one bar of music & know it’s slash. That’s a benchmark not many achieve. Shredders are a dime a dozen.

[@jesseperry7141]

He uses space so well.

[@gerardmichael8523]

People that say Slah is overrated are just haters.

[@tomcoleman8874]

Agreed

[@jigsaw9618]

@@joebartlett3255 I agree, Slash is interesting for sure. He is very much a blues player who incorporates it into rock. Very melodic, he knows how to harmonize. One of his signatures is a string bend where he bends up to achieve the next note he is looking to hit. He does this tons and its not an easy thing to do the way he pulls it off. People who say he's overrated really don't know what they are talking about.

[@KarlKernebeck]

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

[@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.

[@tonym2513]

Strong words. Hang on as hard as you can, bud.

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

I hope that you can maintain your sobriety and continue a healthy life.

[@justanotheragamuffin]

Thanks for sharing brother, in Christ we find love in our brokenness. Keep running that race, you are not alone!

[@gtyrone83]

Weiland didn't get enough credit for this masterpiece of a song.

[@ikymagoo]

He doesn’t get enough credit for everything he’s done

[@JP47471]

I really did love Scott Weiland songwriting

[@Greggster1]

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

[@finstor3386]

I think its because there not many stories out there about him being a good dude, and he came off like a jerk in most interviews I saw with him. He was a fantastic singer, and I loved his voice. Right there with Chris Cornell to me.

[@bendagostino2217]

Loving the Alien is so great too.

[@maaatu16]

I feel privileged that I had the chance to see both Velvet Revolver and STP live. Special talent

[@jesterr7133]

Me too.

[@sneekydevil]

@@jesterr7133 Me three.... saw VR twice and STP once, all awesome gigs, Scott was a fantastic front man and like a lot have said his voice and lyrics were very underrated compared to the usual Grunge Gods of Vedder and Cornell

[@clintpot8521]

I think it was Virgin Fest in Baltimore where I saw Velvet Revolver, sometime before Amy Winehouse died. The way they burst onto the stage and gave crazy high energy to their show was on a level I haven't seen, even seeing bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Fu Fighters, Green Day, etc around the same time. Unique vibe and power projection. Awesome show, awesome band, awesome musical experiment while it lasted!

[@Steakhuis]

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.

[@joebartlett3255]

Duff is great, compliments Slash perfect.

[@67jdvann]

Agreed. This band was SO good. Everyone complimented everyone.

[@ktvindicare]

Duff has always been super underrated.

[@AntoineWG]

It's not just Duff. Every single part stands alone amazingly. They are a freaking symphony together.

[@Vic-Vega]

*complemented, not complimented. They're different words with separate meanings, guys. Come on now.

[@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.

[@chriswimberly7861]

The scene with Duff wrestling him into the hug brings a tear to my eye every time.

[@andarchy1386]

As someone in recovery I can tell you nothing in the world feels better to someone who's life has been destroyed by addiction than a hug from someone that understands

[@jaynation7789]

Scott had the most versatile voice to come out of the grunge era. I wish he had been able to overcome his addictions cause his death was a great loss.

[@AntoineWG]

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

[@warweaponx6629]

Yeah he was tremendously talented and often out shadowed by the other Grunge era greats. Layne Staley and Chris Cornell were the most talented vocalist of grunge but Scott was a very close third

[@SteveBrecht]

One of my favourite songs for years. RIP Scott.

[@kevinaustin0369]

Weighty indeed. Like so many of others we knew where Scott was heading. It’s heart wrenching for all who cared.

[@johnsteger1301]

It's crazy, I'm 57 and this song kills me. I often imagine what else we could've gotten if things were different. Thanks for highlighting amazing music.

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

[@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

[@marcbrockmann3360]

You are right. He was one of the best still undrrrated

[@scottnito2640]

Strange you didn’t mention Kurt too

[@Maggimae2367]

I think as far as making you feel something he surpassed them

[@markvanderstelt8999]

Scott was the most Versatile Singer of the grunge Group he could sing any Style of music.

[@KyOte13]

Scott was the most versatile singer of his generation. Hands down. They just don’t make enough like that anymore. “ Loving the alien “ by VR is a great example of his tonal versatility. Would love to see you react to Oasis “ Slideaway”.

[@jerrybarr8240]

One of my favorite songs ever. Can't believe it's your first time hearing it.

[@rockymountboy]

Yeah, we all know Slash is great, but don't discount Duff McKagan's contribution to the music. He really fills out the songs he works on. And not just by playing the guitar. Scott's singing on this song is just so emotional. Heart rending.

[@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

[@darrylg4889]

Myles Kennedy does an amazing cover of this with Slash.

[@DJMaul1031]

God i love this song. pure catharsis. The dark lyrics we can all relate to, along with a soaring melody that still gives us hope. i was fortunate enough to see VR perform live in Philly. Scott was magical, Slash and the band on fire. it still ranks among my favorite concert experiences.

[@jesterr7133]

Being a music superfreak and working at the lower levels of the industry, I have seen hundreds of singers and bands. I had the pleasure of seeing Scott Weiland perform in person 4 times (3 STP, 1 Velvet Revolver). I can truly say that he is the most talented and charismatic front man have ever seen in person, and he is one of the most underrated singers out there. For a variety of reasons, he never got the recognition he deserved during his lifetime. Maybe he will one day. He was immensely talented, and he left us far too soon.

[@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?

[@LostHate]

Scott had a one of a kind voice. When you hear him you know who it is instantly. Dorothy - What's Coming To Me unplugged please. She also has a instantly recognizable voice and style.

[@class5bodyworks]

I'd like to hear Ain't our Time to Die. Dorothy's voice was better on the older stuff. This song really shows her voice better. Or Freedom. My opinion anyway.

[@Windrider77]

Watching this again after years made me cry.

[@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. 😍

I LOVE watching you when you listen to a song for the first time. The emotions that register in your expressions truly show your love of music. Then the way you analyze it gives me so much joy and validation as to why I enjoy a song or artist(s). I've been a Ronnie James Dio fan for decades; your praise and analysis of the man just proves that he was a true LEGEND. He was also one of the nicest people I've ever met. That such a huge voice and presence could come from such a small and humble man still astounds me. Thank you for what you do and sharing your expertise and experiences with us.

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.

Stone Temple Pilots’ “Purple” album has really great songs on it. You would love Pretty Penny. Scott Weiland’s solo album, “12 Bar Blues”, the song “Barbarella” is a great showcase of his talents.

[@GLiC]

In my early 20’s after partying a friend of mine died, blue, limp, lifeless. I had 911 on the phone while I resuscitated him, he puked on me, took a breath and i watched the life come back into him, i hung up on 911 before i could give them the address. my buddy got up and walked off, and then 20 minutes later drove himself home, he had no idea what happened and was more or less un-phased It left me with deep emotional scars. life is fragile, way more fragile then you or i think. that candle can be extinguished so easily. I think this song is beautiful. But the video makes me cry every time

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Weiland was a great showman. They sounded great and played what you wanted to hear. Some GnR and STP songs, too. They played "I used to love her," everyone but Matt Sorum sat on the front of the monitors, it was a really cool moment.

I know - I thought the same thing,. All that heroin turned turned him into a skeleton - literally half the man he used to be. So sad. Though I was in my 20s in the 90s, I never really followed STP but now watching videos, I have to say he was an amazing frontman. You can't take your eyes off him when he was on stage. I wish I had been more tuned in back in the day.

This. So much this.

I find playing an instrument along with music very therapeutic. I'll put a flash drive of MP3s into my surround sound system, crank it up, and play along to the songs on my Bass guitar. Even if I can only play the root note of the chord changes, it helps me feel connected to something and gets those endorphins flowing.
