I still always feel that STP was just a rock band caught in the "grunge" label, just like Pearl Jam were, i never thought Pearl Jam was grunge at all.

Really? Wow.

I guess the chorus only sounds like a Bowie duet, but the rest of it he’s a dead ringer for the man.

For his next immersion it’s of to Sam Cooke.

After that, believe it or not, yep, it’s Edith Piaf.

The first STP album is the only one I can listen to. And I haven't listened to it in over ten years.

Really? I think the second one is the best. Still, I absolutely love STP and Scott Weiland. Everyone claimed they were copying, but it doesn't matter to me since they were so much better than Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Best grunge band by far IMO.

Scott Weiland is a total loser, can't stand the guy and I don't get it why so many people are infatuated with him! It's the same thing with John Frusciante from RHCP: if the idiot would not have been a recovered heroin-junkie, people would not have considered him to be this 'brilliant guitarist', as they do now....

I prefer Soundgarden to those two groups I named, but definitely not over STP.

Check out Temple of the Dog, a one-album collaboration between Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden.....it combined the best the secene had to offer (minus Nirvana) around that time.

STP were grunge-lite.....they just jumped on the bandwagon.

I remember Temple of the Dog. Meh.

shrug All I know is they were better than those other bands. I liked them better then and I still do now.

wow, i have never decided i did not like a song so quickly in my life

but the last STP record was the best in my opinion and have since learned that the Deleo brothers are the ones behind some of their best music and Scott is just their singer - who has got some issues

personally i do not know how they stand him

but once i caught STP without Scott and it was not the same at all

but check out their last album.....some beautiful music on there - totally not grunge at all

That sounds more like a Red Hot Chilli Pepper's b-side.

David Bowie and Scott are obviously trying to be Anthony Kiedis.


Flee and Anthony should sue them. Or at least kick their lilly asses.

His Bowie impression is much better than his Jagger impression....

I think he's a decent singer and have liked many STP songs, but there's no denying he's a complete tool. Poser to the Nth degree.

And he views the history of great artists as a sampler plate for him to devour for his own nourishment.
