MCEVERS: That was Tom Moon remembering musician Scott Weiland. (SOUNDBITE OF VELVET REVOLVER SONG, "SLITHER") In the highly polarized '90s, when it was not always cool to go big, he made rock that sounded like it belonged on the radio. He won't be remembered as any kind of trailblazer, either, but he had great commercial instincts. He sometimes used a megaphone in concert. MOON: Scott Weiland wasn't a great singer. It comes to wash away the sins of you and I. VELVET REVOLVER: (Singing) Yeah, here comes the water. Even here, at a time in his life when his drug use and court appearances made him unreliable, Weiland still showed a knack for the memorable song. MOON: After leaving Stone Temple Pilots, Weiland joined the supergroup Velvet Revolver, which featured members of Guns And Roses. Too much tripping, and my soul's worn thin. STONE TEMPLE PILOTS: (Singing) Too much walking - shoes worn thin. In some ways, he was the classic tortured front man, one minute seeking answers to life's questions, the next looking desperately for an escape. He brought all his doubts and demons in to his performances.
MOON: It was music made for arenas, not the alternative rock art-house, and Weiland sold it. STONE TEMPLE PILOTS: (Singing) Breathing is the hardest thing to do with all I've said and all that's dead for you. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "INTERSTATE LOVE SONG") But with the second Stone Temple Pilots album, Weiland concocted something more compelling - songs that had the thick roar of grunge but were built on spring-loaded, Aerosmith-style guitar riffs and relentlessly sticky refrains.
MOON: That song and much of the band's 1992 debut drew sneers from critics. You wouldn't want me have to hurt you, too, hurt you, too. STONE TEMPLE PILOTS: (Singing) I am, I am, I am - I said I want to get next to you. TOM MOON, BYLINE: At first, it was easy to dismiss Scott Weiland and his band, Stone Temple Pilots. (SOUNDBITE OF STONE TEMPLE PILOTS SONG, "SEX TYPE THING") Music critic Tom Moon says Weiland's contribution is as a smart popularizer whose songs brought a touch of grunge menace to mainstream rock. Phil Collen, who is most well known for garnering success during the 1980s and early 1990s as the lead guitarist of Def The post Delta Deep’s Take Me Home For Christmas Single Review appeared first on Weiland, the singer and lyricist of the '90s rock band Stone Temple Pilots was found dead yesterday.
