He would probably have appreciated this as much if not more than anything ever written, said about him.
Not (just) the comparisons to the Legends & maybe that a way distant back seat to the first part.
To know that you are holding off the Demons that destroyed Him would have made him very Happy.
You do realize commercial music since the early 00's just plain blows? I cant believe you are like 50 and never heard of this guy, but maybe back in the 90's you were too busy listening to A-Teens, Aqua, Boyz II Men or who knows what crap. I mean diff strokes for diff folks but, you do realize rock music takes 10+ times more talent to create and perform than a Taylor Swift "pop-country" tune? I mean seriously, the guys body is not even cold yet and you come here with your limited music knowledge to diminish his legacy and history.
Not very classy, and not well informed... he is a multi platinum selling artist, in a time in which selling records actually mattered.
Yep, he was the only lead singer besides Jim that played with the Doors, that actually caught the king snake spirit for a moment there... others tried and failed, Vedder and Astbury couldnt pull it off. Interesting enough Morrison's vocal range is easy to imitate but his darkness is elusive to most frontmen BUT Weiland, he knew darkness, and darkness knew him.
Thanks man, his life is something worth celebrating, currently organizing a free tribute concert for Mr. Weiland (ill do the vocals and Ill pay for the sound). He was so troubled yet was such an amazing guy and had such an amazing voice, I could go on for hours. I even identify more with him than Cobain, cause well, Cobain didnt like the nose candy, and Weiland dabbled with H 10 years ago, same as me... Weiland's addiction issues were so similar with mine, is just real scary, and its always a shame, partying is all fun and games until it becomes another cross to bear. I always felt we were alike in many ways. So fragile yet so feral. A true Rock Powerhouse.
