I think that’s the issue. He looks like he is trying to be Scott but he isn’t. If he was more himself people would be more open to it. Look at William DuVall for AiC, great singer, clearly not Layne and not trying to be.
Because there will always only be 1 Scott. Scott was magic on Stage. And even though this guy can sing, he's trying to hard to be Scott . It's just not working for him. He should try to bring his own presence to his formance.
Jeez Robert Deleo looks so good not fair! All these guys still look amazing Rip Mr. Weiland Thanks you all for the music and the memoirs of mighty momentous memories of mad mad magic STP FOR LIFE
Saw them in Green Bay 2023. I was right up front and could have high fived Jeff. He is a great singer, and the band as a whole did awesome. I miss Scott of course there is no replacing him truly, but Jeff does so VERY well singing the songs. I would pay to see them again.
Airs got to be hard to have a band and know you had magic and one magician is gone but you still feel it all you can keep going. We love this music and yes it died too soon it was a time bomb but I’m glad these guys are continuing their journey in it all.
Give the guy a chance! I don’t see any of you critics doing what he’s doing. And yes as a musician of the 80’s. Yes I know what I’m talking about! It’s damn hard to replace a big name! Don’t be so judgmental. He’s doing a great job. And keeping Scott and the Pilots alive. Because todays music scene Sucks!
It wouldn't be so bad if he would stop doing all that Scott Weiland imitation stuff. Dude, you are not him, and never will be. I've seen other videos of this tool that were so cringy that it made my skin crawl. Led Zeppelin did the right thing when Bonham passed away. STP maybe should've done the same.
Still one of my all time favorites. Seen the original and current line ups. Guitar sound isn't quite as heavy as original. Even in this video you can hear it. A lot less distortion. The nuances are more pronounced in the chord patterns, but it doesn't pack the same punch.
Jeff Gutt is an Amazing singer. He is being faithful to the tunes we all know and LOVE. He cares. Before you leave some comment comparing him negatively to Scott Weiland, just remember, Scott Weiland made his own choices long ago and they were more important to him than caring about those of you who want to be negative about Jeff Gutt
Jeff is great. I just wish they would not have used STP as there band name. I love the band and I admire Jeff's vocals. I say, if people like them as they are though then show your love. Do you :)
I get it the band must Go on and they want to play their songs even though Scott is not there The Show must Go on and of course it's not the same unless they recruit me to sing the songs
Love STP, and I feel sorry for the guys, its not their fault that Scott chose to destroy himself, everyone & everything around him with drugs. But this "incarnation" of STP is sad & creepy
I get he's trying to bridge a gap the best he can and lets be honest nobody could repace Scott but he's not that bad. I just have a weird feeling when the replacements for these amazing musicians that die to young tries to "be" them with looks/style, movement. I don't know. I mean he's got to know he could never fill Scott's shoes yet brave enough to show up and give it his best knowing how much he will be scrutinized makes him alright in my book.
He does better than I ever could obviously, but it's just not even close to Scott. I seen AIC back in 2019 and their singer was sooo close to sounding like Layne. Live anyways, never listened to a record with him. Just gotta be patient and find the right singer
