Addiction is no joke man. I just found this and I’m one of the biggest STP fans alive. I have died more times than I know of but today I have 6 months clean. “All My Hero’s Are Dead And Gone.”
I have not heard this version once without crying. Scott looks so frail and he sings like it's about life or death. It's absolutely heartbreaking. And so, so rare to find artist who can perform a song like this. He truly was one in a million, that beautiful man. And so not given credit for his enormous talent.
No I agree. It's like...Chris Cornell, or Kurt. Musicians will come and go but only a select very few capture what they did. Layne as another... shit...Hoon...damn there's 45 on the 27 club. Crazy. Today tho is Pigpen. The Dead are mythical forces of, reckoning? Great album, best live lp I know.
Scott Weiland one of the best voices,who sadly isn't remembered enough for his talent and gift he gave by sharing it.He instead is remembered by his illness/addiction that he subcombed to.
That kind of makes this cover bitter sweet. This song was written about an illness, about Syd Barrett and his battle with Schizophrenia and LSD addiction. Unfortunately, I think there has to be a certain pain, to really get the song across. Unfortunately Scott Weiland knew that pain. I have not heard a lot of covers of this song that I like. This one and one by Avenged Seven Fold.
This song always gets me, me and my late ex wife would always lay in bed after shooting up and it felt like this song always came on. Then when we got clean after we split up it always meant even more to us. She wrote me a letter the day before she died saying that every time she heard it she would cry and think of me. Even tho in the end we weren't together, we still loved eachother more than anything. Wish u were here....
I COMPLETELY understand the love & hate you can have for one another. LOVE and HATE have a VERY thin line between the two. Yet, for some reason you can't "unlove " them. The toxicity of the relationship and the lifestyles you choose to have together outweighs the cherished memoriess. FINALLY, one of you realizes that your sanity, mental, & physical health mean more to you than the relationship.🖤
+Hammer of Justice Crushes You OVERPOWER Just like I wish couple of Members of Floyd were still here, Just imagin Scott and them Playing this song together man.... Miss them all
I lost both my parents in 2020 within a month of each other . 4 years now and sometimes the pain still feels like yesterday . Life's just not the same as before and I know it will never be . Ive always been a fan of stp and velvet revolver . Scott just had a way of connecting with his fans and showing them the human condition .
My deepest condolences on the loss of your parents. I have lost my whole family all of them at a very young age before they turned 40 only my mother and oldest brother made it to the 60 mark I’m currently 63 and I thank God every day I’m still here clean and sober going on 15 whole years, there’s nothing like it being in control of your life. God rest your parents, beautiful souls.
@@linkinpark2883 take nothing away from Cornell's own talent, and I know people compare them because of their deaths, but They had their own way, and for me personally, Scott was in a league of his own.
Pink Floyd has always been in my top five, saw them in Atlanta on the Animals tour and they blew the place away...but this is a great version of this classic song. And I know we all have so many friends that we have lost along the way.....and we wish they were here....just like we wish Scott had conquered his demons, and his fears, and grown old with us. Such a damn shame....his life was way too short. RIP Scott
Well said my friend. I am missing my best friend, my 2nd best friend but most of all my mom. I understand Scott's addiction it is so much easier when u stay numb
The look on scotts face at 6:40 you can just tell comes from the emotion and pain from within himself not just about his brothers death perhaps his ex wives his past everything such a tragic loss truly one of a kind and an amazing talent 🖤
Was so blessed to have seen him play in concert 4 months before he passed with my beloved son. I lost my son due to addiction this past August 16th, 2021 he battled the same demons and music was a very special part of his life!! RIP Scott Weiland and Andrew “ Cali” Evrard !! I’ll keep rockin on earth playing the songs we loved until we see each other again !! Love ❤️ Mom
in my opinion , this was the best remake ever. to have slash one of the finest guitarist in our time to do David Gilmore proud, awesome. But for Scott Weiland to be able to carry all this the song by legendary band after filling the shoes of the lead singer of a legendary band, phenomenal
It's pretty cool that even though he's gone we still are able to watch him perform... I guess he will live on forever through his great music and in the memories of everyone that he made an impression on.
Scott Weiland was.going to do a show in MN. I wanted to go but no.one was able to go. The show was canceled because they could not sell enough tickets. I have been a fan of his since the 90s. The next thing I heard is that he passed away not far from my home.. I felt so bad for his wife, kids, family , friends and fans. Addiction is a horrible battle. He was gone too soon.
Still struggling to believe you're really gone Scott. Saw you 18 times with STP and 4 with Velvet Revolver and ut still was never enough and never got old. Hope you're happy wherever you are.
Easy to understand why Scott was such a great singer - a tortured soul haunted by his demons for most of his life. So sad that he passed away, l hope that he is at peace now. RIP Scott, the world is an emptier place without you.
He lived like he died. I hear him and I smile. If it weren’t for his brief, intense light, I would have miss a legend. I’m glad his light burned so bright.

Weiland was one of a kind vocalist. He would be the one to pull off the best floyd cover of all time. The brightest stars burn the fastest, I’m just thankful for the time we had him. RIP Scott
R.I.P. Scott Weiland, you may have had a drug problem but you made millions smile with your beautiful voice, you will be sorrily missed. Fly with the angel !
this is my all time FAVORITE pink floyd song im a huge floyd fan and this song has always touched me in so many ways ...........scott did a beautiful job with this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another great loss to the music world and a world of fans another beautiful voice gone too soon .......WISH U WERE HERE SCOTT rip the world will miss you!!!!!!!!!
u took the words right outta my mouth. Seen Pink Floyd five times between '88 and '94 and to hear Scott singing "Wish you were here" just really makes me sick that he's gone. Shine on, Scott
Just lost a friend of 50 years to one of his demons he could not kick no matter how many times he tried. So many great times, RIP my friend Pat gone but never forgotten
Lost my friend, who was the closest primate to me by far, to depression. He fought like hell to stay alive but we only have so much to give. 31 years of almost constant contact and memories and we weren't gay. Imagine he's with you every day because he is... He's part of your brain...a part of your soul. The only question is will we talk again? Well, we will only know if this is possible, if it's possible. Otherwise, we won't remember we ever lived at all... I'm cool whatever the answer is... I'm cool brother. T3yrpln
I’m sorry for your loss. Reading this reminds me never to take my recovery for granted because as they say, but for the grace of God goes I. I celebrate 20 years sober on January 13. Today is the 20 year anniversary of my finance being hit by a train and dying and it was that, losing him, that got me to wake up and get sober. In some strange way him doing saved my life. I don’t think we would’ve been able to get sober together. I knew I couldn’t let his death be for nothing. So I got sober and have remained sober since. Note I’m married with 2 girls of my own. I stay sober for me today, not for him or anyone else. Hearing stories like yours, it humbles me. I’m sorry for your loss and I just know your friend has found the peace he couldn’t find here. RIP to your friend.
R.I.P.,YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE LIVES ON ETERNALLY,SING ON IN HAPPINESS ABOVE AND THANK YOU FOR LEAVING US YOUR BEAUTIFUL GIFTS,TO CONTINUE TO PULL US THROUGH DOWN HERE!! APPRECIATED YOU MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE!! GOD BLESS ALL!XO
Upon the loss of such a talented singer, songwriter, front man. This is beautiful to hear him sing. May you finally find your peace Scott... rockin the heavens tonight.
@@crackerman3 Lmmfao you lost your rabbit ass mind! Every thing the dope head knows he got from axl rose which is by far way better then this fucking loser. David Lee Roth, ozzy, Sammy Hagar, Bruce Dickerson, Robert plant, I can go on for days. This drug addict stood in one place and danced like he was in a gay bar looking for dick! Lmmfao
+Kevin Maund feel so lucky to have seen STP tour in Australia for the first time in 2011 he had me in the palm of his hand, great frontman and sensational stage presence..
Such a great talent miss Scott as much as Layne. Two of the best for that era so talented great performers. Stunning voices and two of my favorite groups! Alice STP and velvet!!! Still listen all the time.
WOW this is great, Scott does great covers from Led Zeppelin to Guns n Roses, now Pink Floyd. Great voice with a great band to back him up. Sad we could not see even more from this band.
scott was, is, and always will be a TRUE ROCK AND ROLL LEGEND! HIS MUSIC TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR GENERATIONS TO COME........THANK YOU SCOTT, WE LOVE AND MISS YOU. );
There are no words to give it justice. Respect. Or honour. What a shame that life brings good, bad. And ugly. Priceless live footage, to be honest. Huge props to all on stage, bringin it to the universe. Fact.
You probably described the feeling I have for this song better than anyone else. It's not like...I miss someone in particular I mean We all do, we all have our wars to fight But with this song (and with Pink Floyd in general) I just feel nostalgic, sad but with hope at the same time, inspired with a bit of sorrow I don't know, Floyd's just something else. Beautiful performance by Velvet by the way, truly captured the essence of the song IMO
I feel exactly the same way ...homesick for a place I've never been and for someone I have never met ...this Is beautiful sounds like a verse in a song
Still wish you were here, Scott!! and Chris, Chester, David, Tom, Layne, the list goes on and on.......thanks for the beautiful music you left us all!! music, love and peace.....🎶🎸💕✌...Irish eyes are crying.....
This was a great band. They were like a rare diamond, not seen everyday nor found that frequently in this modern world. The time they spent together playing, it was hard, difficult but glorious as well. Thanks Scott for your brief pasaage through this great rock and roll band.
LYRICS: So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold confort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
I still am saddened by Scott's passing.. I hurt for him for all the heartache and pain he lived with day after day, but you would never once see it manifest when he was behind the microphone in front of his loving fans.. Scott loved his fans, and it hurts me that we cannot thank him enough for the blessings he brought to our ears.. I wish I could tell him how thankful I truly am for bringing me courage growing up and following him... Scott was a gentleman with a Lion of a roar voice..I hope Scott is at peace now, but I also hope he knows how much he was loved.. I don't think he truly knew that... Love you my brother. -Wish you were here !!!
RIP bro... This song and your performance of it will always take me to that concert I sang with all my soul this song for my dad.. Will miss you Mr Weiland
I'm 46yo, I grew up on grunge!!! Scotty made this band!! Miss u Scotty!! Slash, even without Scotty, bring this band back, the music u guys made together will "NEVER" be forgotten!!!
I'm a 90's kid, that grew up on Soundgarden and Nirvana. But Scott's music has brought another meaning. May he R.I.P. Fall to pieces is one of the best rock songs ever. Thanks Scott for everything you did for the people who love Rock.🤟
I just want to say first of all I am a huge fan of Scott Weiland...and its sooo amazing to see all of the great comments and recognition for this man and his talent.RIP Scott Weiland you are sooo missed by your fans who loved you.
Clayton Johns Roger wrote the Lyric, David wrote the music and he sings it on the Album. Anyways...When it comes the live performance, David is by far my favorite compared to Roger...
My Sunday " Me Thing" is to watch random videos and simply appreciate artists, their greatest talents and how they DIG SHARING WITH THE WORLD! But today... this video randomly popped up and I was feeling my internal vibe... even at 60 yrs old I'm still jamming to every Genre out there and loving my music. But.... when this beautiful young SOUL lifted the mic to his mouth, holding his lit cigarette... my heart instantly sank into my chest... and I just silently WEPT! His vibe was so in touch & so in tune with his craft, but even at that exact moment... I realized I was witnessing the midst of his death. Not the exact moment, as he performed the song. But it's was already in his near future. But I just thought to myself... this dude is either on his way out of this world, or maybe even already GONE by now. It's like he'd already made peace with death and was just tying up any lose ends. I don't know his story yet, but I'm about the read up about him. I just want every person out here to know... we can do much better with our friends & loved ones. We are all spiritual beings and are capable of interpreting one another's feelings on a much deeper level. We just need to place those we love and care about FIRST. Stop putting our own selfish needs first and pay attention to our loved ones. Trust me... when you start doing that, life gains much more meaning, and we begin to show one another more love and understanding. No soul is hopeless , worthless or not beyond help. Alcoholics & Addicts fall into the trap of distraction first. And it can happen to any single soul alive. So... think first before we judge a persons struggles. They weren't born into their situations. Something just failed their priorities. I'm not saying we can all save the world and each broken soul who comes into our lives. But I am saying...STOP letting menial, meaninglessness, Worthless bullshit consume our hearts and show some compassion towards others and the suffering all around us. Take a good look around your own world... you don't have to look too far to witness someone going through something much worse than you are going through. Yes, I agree that life s difficult for most ppl. But Do me this one Solid... just take a look around your surroundings for a second and be honest... there are people in MUCH WORSE SHAPE THAN US! Take a drive in a one mile radius of your own home... look at what we are ignoring in the outside world we mutually co-exist with. There are severely traumatized ppl, ppl dying of diseases and suffering silently through chemotherapy radiation, some ppl unable to get life saving treatment, ppl being abused verbally, physically or sexually, children being neglected, ignored, unbathed, unfed, unloved... there are silent storms going on all around us. We can be better at noticing the needs of others. We can't save the world... but if we each begin to recognize others struggling ... perhaps our encouraging words might give them hope. Our simple acknowledgement of their depths of grief and offering our positive hopes of brighter days ahead can make a difference. Maybe if we each make those tiny efforts to hug someone who's feeling overwhelmed... maybe there would be less suicide, depression and abuse. We may be financially struggling... but we can still help someone carry groceries up their stairs, or help the elderly into their home, or carry someone's trash out. Just stop and have direct eye contact with a neighbor and ask them how they are doing. Any effort provides the possibility of positive change in others. And eventually, you will be so busy being surrounded by others and sharing love, that even your own struggles will seem less overwhelming. I'm just saying... we ALL NEED SOMEONE! Try being the one to be there for others than to always be the one looking for someone to help you. Eventually you develop camaraderie among those surrounding you and your support system grows much larger and there are more ppl who can offer you suggestions to help make your own struggles & situation better as well. I thought & hopes reach out to each of you today & all your days ahead.💕 ( This was my very first initial, instinctual feeling or intuition about this man as I began to watch him join his band offering up his amazing vocal sacrifice. I have sensed this exact feeling before in my own ppl and among strangers. Im not anyone special of possess some type of ability to predetermine or foresee the future! I pay attention to body language, expressions the color of ppl flesh, the pauses they take... the stance they make or even where the focus their own eye contact. We each could pay more attention to ppl behaviors & actions and possibly determine they might be struggling with something bigger than they can handle. So... as I'm beginning to dive into the comments, and Im engaging , enjoying & appreciating my greatest me time listening to great music... and the VERY FIRST COMMENT READ "REST IS PEACE!" Scott Weiland. I ALREADY KNEW WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING.... let's love others and offer hope where it's needed! My God Rest this Beautiful Soul! 🙏
Between Kurt, Layne, Chris , Cornell, and Chester ...their def rockin the heavens up there tonight An always ...wish they were all here but at least we were fortunate to have em as long we did..forever missed ...talent so beyond their time 💔💔😔
In my eyes the best cover ever. I'll never forget the first time I saw him do this live when I was about 16 years old... I had just lost my bestfriend and our fav Floyd song was wish you were here. I played it at her funeral. Went to the VR concert with my parents and they played this and I started crying my eyes out. Couldn't of been more of a sign from her. Such an amazing voice and now he's gone. I saw him everytime he came to AZ or Vegas and I last saw him a few months before he passed and will forever cherish that night. Amazing show. Always front and center. RIP SCOTT RIP SAMMY RIP MONROE
