Scott was in Velvet Revolver towards the end of his spiral with drug addiction, the song "Fall to Pieces" showcases that perfectly.Very deep. R.I.P Scott.
'Dead and Bloated' is probably my favorite STP anthem. It's raw and visceral. It is truly a song from the gut. A close second is 'Sex Type Thing.' They were a little harder than grunge. Like so many others- Staley, Cobain, Cornell- Weiland was taken way too soon.
STP is one of the best bands out of the 90’s. RIP Scott Weiland. His voice was one of a kind, the band made incredible music. Interstate Love Song is awesome
It's grunge, well kinda. Same timeline same festivals. He sang with Velvet Revolver , à super band of rock gods. Velvet Revolver was an American hard rock supergroup consisting of Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, alongside Dave Kushner formerly of punk band Wasted Youth, and Scott Weiland formerly of Stone Temple Pilots
@@gabrielledormuth4634 They were lumped in with grunge at the time (pretty much everything post hair metal/"Smells Like Teen Spirit" breakout of the early nineties was); whether or not they should have been is another matter (in the first place, what even is grunge - sound, look, from Seattle?) Most of the bands that were considered grunge had very little in common, outside of the time they hit mainstream.
@Usernamesarewack Only a very small minority of astute people didn't arbitrarily categorize everyone; the overwhelming majority (i.e., mainstream media, most radio stations, MTV, most of the music industry, and most regular people) lumped all of these bands that came out in the early nineties (and appeared to have somewhat similar styles and appearance) as grunge. This started to change when the so-called Nu Metal (bands like Linkin Park, Korn, etc.) started emerging in the mid nineties. Seattle birthed the grunge movement, but it wasn't the sole criteria for it (just like all punk bands did not originate in the U.K., which is where it more or less started).
The first album was definitely grunge. But I think they were branching out with ‘Purple.’ And even more so with ‘Tiny Music.’ They really did a good job creating their own sound. And yeah drugs influenced their creativity. Even the music video is all over the place.
STP has a great library. They hit the scene around the same time Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains. Scott Weiland was a very very gifted frontman. His death was very predictable but tragic nonetheless. (He publicly battled addiction for years).
Oh baby, STP!!! About time you revisited them! (Six months??) So many songs to check out! My personal fave is "Crackerman", followed by "Interstate Love Song", "Trippin' On a Hole in a Pape Heart", and "Sour Girl". RIP Scott Weiland, another great gone too soon.
According to Wiki, the meaning of the song is indeed about being stuck in the same situation over and over again. In Scott's case, it was his heroin addiction. The funny story behind the main lyric comes from when he was a kid and his parents put The Eagles' "Life in the Fast Lane" on, and he thought they were singing "Flies in the Vaseline".
Scott Weiland had such a great voice, IMHO he is in the same league as Layne Staley and Chris Cornell. I consider this to be grunge, but others may think differently. You need to hear "Sour Girl" by Stone Temple Pilots and "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver. This was fairly early in his career, his work with Velvet Revolver was towards the end of his life. You will be able to see the toll that heroin took on him.
Dean DeLeo is a great guitar player. Wrote really cool riffs and his lead phrasing and runs were top notch. The DeLeo brothers wrote some heavy tunes with catchy hooks.
She hit on it right there about the drug addiction, alcoholism, Scott Wieland and Layne Staley had the same problem, as well as Nikki Sixx and Slash. Many struggled with herion addiction and alcohol too. So much talent wasted.
I knew Scott Weiland.. Hurt my ❤️ when he died.. My friend Jeff has now taken over singing duties for the band. STP is one of my all time favorite bands. The writing, the music, the emotional honesty, incredible! Glad you guys covered this one. 🙌
How many of you out there just close your eyes and can lip sing all the words for this song while you remember back in high-school chillin out to this classic tune
Scott Weiland was the original singer of Stone Temple Pilots... Sadly, he passed away in 2015 (R.I.P. 😪) Weiland recorded 2 albums w/ Velvet Revolver, featuring Guns N' Roses members Slash (lead guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) & Matt Sorum (drums)... He was such a talented singer/songwriter who had addiction issues that finally took his life...
The lead singer, Scott Weiland struggled with addiction for many years, before he overdosed and died several years ago. I think your analysis of the lyrics was really spot on. He was a brilliant performer who just couldn't figure out how to keep drugs out of his life.
Rob you are very perceptive you're exactly right about this song and STP is grunge but its music is veiled by a pop veneer, and like Vaseline and other compositions Scott weiland's words communicate a mind struggling between light and darkness. This song deals with Scott Weiland's descent into drug addiction. At the time, he was doing his best to hide it from his bandmates and his girlfriend, but he knew he was turning into a junkie, a condition exacerbate by the success of STP's first album, Core When he sings here about searching and going blind, it relates to the cycle he started when he became an addict. In his autobiography, Weiland said the song is about "being stuck in the same situation over and over again," adding, "It's about me becoming a junkie."
This group is OG Grunge. I was in high school when Grunge hit the scene and I loved STP! They helped sing my high school soundtrack. On their first album Core the first song is called Dead and Bloated and it’s a song that you put on and turn the radio all the way up and when it drops it will cause you to get hyped like you wouldn’t believe. The lead singer’s name is Scott Weiland and he passed in 2015 of a drug overdose. RIP. Scary to think about of the grunge groups like Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Nirvana all have had tragedies with someone in the band. Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain by suicide, STO Scott Weiland drug overdose, Layne Staley of Alice In Chains, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. The angst is there in their music.
For Female Friday: Ronnie Spector - ‘Be My Baby’ Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ Other notables: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’
Almost every rock group I like can be classified as alternative metal. It's kinda hard to describe the genre because it has so many influences from different styles of rock. The best way to describe it would be by the bands. Alien Ant Farm, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Korn, Filter, Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, these can all be considered alternative metal. Most of these are in heavy rotation in my Spotify playlist. For more STP, I'd suggest Wicked Garden Seven Caged Tigers Lady Picture Show Sex Type Thing Interstate Love Song Trippin On a hole In A Paper Heart Sour Girl ( I like the video for this one. It stars SMG aka Buffy ) Bang Bang Baby Big Empty
STP still remains one of my favorite groups of all time; they were initially labeled as grunge, but their sound expanded with each album. A personal favorite from them is called "And So I Know"; it's a mellow, bossa Nova tinged track that's, like, perfect for moonlit drives...lol. They have a lot of killer songs that never blew up...
That dance they were doing at the beginning is called "Schuhplatler Folk Dancing" from Bavaria and Southern Germany, Austria and German speaking regions of Northern Italy. 🤗
I would say your analysis of the lyrics is pretty dang close, near spot on, if not correct! Good job on the analysis. I tend to focus on music first then lyrics second, so it always takes me a while to get a song's message. These guys were huge in the grunge era, and in my top 3 bands of that era. Almost anything from their first 2 albums really gives you a good feel for what they're about and really not a bad song on any of those albums. I see you did Plush the first time, which was their biggest hit, so I would suggest probably their 2nd biggest which is "Interstate Love Song", which is a bit of a softer side of them, but still rocking. I can recommend so many other songs like "Dead and Bloated", "Wicked Garden", "Unglued", and "Sex Type Thing" are the first to come to mind. Vaseline is one of my favorites of theirs so this was quite a treat to see a reaction video from you on!
Grunge is an alternative rock genre and subculture which emerged during the late-1980s & into the 90's in the U.S. state of Washington, particularly in Seattle. Grunge fuses elements of punk rock and heavy metal. Top Grunge bands are Nirvana, Alice in Chains, S.T.P., Pearl Jam. Soundgarden, and Smashing Pumpkins to name a few
STP is considered grunge and having been a teenager at the time I always put them in that category as well. But listening to them now I think they, like The Smashing Pumpkins, were more grunge-adjacent. Which is not a thing, but even The Smashing Pumpkins didn’t consider themselves grunge. They were all part of the same scene, though. And, behind Smashing Pumpkins, STP was probably my favorite band back then. This album, Purple, was the first one I bought when I finally made enough money to buy a cheap stereo for my room with a CD player. And it’s a great album. “Interstate Love Song” is my personal favorite followed by “Big Empty.” To this day, I hear the opening chords of “Interstate Love Song” and am back in the room I shared with my foster sister, with its gold shag carpet, getting ready for school in front of our huge mirror with this CD playing.
Yeah I can see how both bands didn’t entirely fit into he term grunge. They were of the same time period and intertwined, but their sound was slightly different. I think the term alternative hard rock suits them better although STP first album is as close to grunge as you can get without calling it grunge.
You two are a breath of fresh air!!For your Christmas songs how about The Prayer by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli (he is an opera singer).It is so so beautiful 🙏
Interstate Love Song is widely considered their best work so definitely add that to the must do list. Sour Girl, Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart, Wicked Garden, Sex Type Thing, Days Of The Week, Lady Picture Show are all person favorites as well.
Piece of pie, wicked garden, dead and bloated. Love it!!!! And he was such a great front man. Addiction has robbed us of so many great artists and songs we will never get to hear.
I saw STP in concert about 20 years ago with Scott Wieland and they were incredible. Amazing voice and and amazing band of musicians. Just one popular rocking song after another. Incredible show. I saw them a few years ago with their new lead singer and they are still great. The leader singer is like a Wieland clone in looks, moves and voice and he nails it.
Scott Weiland was the Lead Singer and this was considered Alternative Rock, Rock and Grunge.. all of the above.. This was one of the biggest bands of the 90s.. Scott was later in the band Velvet Revolver. Interstate Love Song, Plush and Sour Girl are some of their other great songs..
Queensryche ( Take Hold Of The Flame ) is a must. His voice is so high it will knock you out of your chair. And the drummer does like a triple beat. Never seen that before. You will love it. 80s band.
One of my all-time favorite bands. Grunge or hard rock. You really can't go wrong with calling them an alternative band. So many good songs. Please do "Wicked Garden." RIP Scott Weiland.
“Interstate Love Song” and “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart,” please! Both are amazing, with totally different feels to them, and “Trippin’…” is blistering. Thank you!
It is grunge! And yes exactly! Flies in the Vaseline we are, sometimes it blows my mind, keep getting stuck here all the time! Is an actual lyric in the song!
Interstate Love Song. Without question is the 'everyone loves this song' of all of their portfolio, but this was a tremendous band for quite some time. A LOT of great tracks.
Scott Weiland, vocals. Dean DeLeo, guitars, Robert DeLeo, bass. And the severely underrated Eric Kretz on drums. The Pilots' sound is mainly driven by the DeLeo brothers, who were clearly influenced by Zeppelin & Aerosmith. Weiland had a phenomenal ability to shift the tonal quality of his voice, so it could sound like they had 5 singers instead of one. I know they released an album after Scott's death, but I haven't heard it. There were plans for Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park) to take over on vocals, but then, of course, he died as well. Also, at some point in the mid to late 90's, when Weiland was in the throes of addiction & recovery, the rest of the band recorded an album with a different singer (can't recall the gent's name) under the name of Talkshow. It was a solid album, but clearly not STP without Weiland. Given the pattern, I'm sure the DeLeo brothers will carry on musically in some capacity, probably with Kretz in tow. Please check out "Interstate Love Song" for a sampling of how these guys could vary their sound. Tremendous depth in their catalog. -JR in Miami
I was very lucky to see STP in concert when Scott was in good form and mostly good health. At his best, he had an absolutely amazing voice which was even better live than it was recorded in studio. A very underrated band IMO.
My son and I spent an entire summer going to Rock Festivals. They were at one of them along with so many great artists. I think it 2006, best summer ever. 😊❤️
"Fly in the Vaseline" is a play on the fairly old-timey phrase "fly in the ointment" which basically means a good thing that is spoiled by something, like a fly spoils the ointment. He's saying they're the fly, or the thing that spoils the situation. "It was a great party, the only fly in the ointment was my brother got smashed and wouldn't stop puking all over the place."
This song, and STP in general, is sort of grunge-ish. It's got the fuzzy guitars of metal and the uptempo of punk, which are hallmarks. You might consider it "alternative rock," which is basically music from the same era that didn't really fit the grunge template fully. You could listen to something by, say, Nirvana or Pearl Jam, and then something by Green Day (who are more punk leaning than metal leaning) for an illustration of the difference in sound. Basically grunge is one part metal, one part punk, one part depression, and one part heroin. Mix until well blended.
Great song, great review. Been hearing the song for years, but never saw the video. Y'all made some astute observations. Well done. Keep up the good work.
Dead and Bloated, Sin , Creep, Trippin' on a hole in a paper heart. Scott Weiland was a tortured genius and like many left a great hole when he departed. The DeLeo brother's are some of the most gifted writer's of straight up rocking songs that were all over the place.
Awesome reaction! Loved STP from my high school days. Reminds me of when I used to try and sing this on Rockband. "Creep," "Big Empty" and "Sour Girl" are the main 3 songs I'd recommend if you're ever feeling sentimental.
I ghost wrote Vaseline for Stone Temple Pilots as a gift and tribute to Scott Weiland1994 through Howard Stern who I was Ghost writing for at the time. I kept bragging to stern that I had ghost written songs in classic rock genre and could prove it on tape. The song was about Scott's addiction to drugs more so heroin. So you too pick that up in one shot just like I sang it for them in one shot thanks Jerry.
Try "Interstate Love Song"... I think it best showcases the band's talent.
Truth be told, the first two albums in their entirety are just masterpieces, but the purple album in particular.
Agreed!
Good choice, I would also recommend Sour Girl.
My fave STP song!
One of my favorite guitar riffs of all time. I remember feeling so cool when I learned to play it when I was 14.
I recommend checking out "Naked Sunday", "Wicked Garden", "Big Empty", and "Interstate Love Song"...all great tracks by Stone Temple Pilots.
Interstate Love Song us definitely my favorite song by them.
@@kathleenmurphy6220 Mine too! I love the video, too, and I hope they check it out.
Can’t forget “Plush”
"Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart," "Big Bang Baby," "Sex Type Thing"
Solid list!
Scott was in Velvet Revolver towards the end of his spiral with drug addiction, the song "Fall to Pieces" showcases that perfectly.Very deep. R.I.P Scott.
YES!!! Fall to Pieces is a MUST!!!!!
GREAT song!! ❤️
I came to the comments to say the same. Velvet Revolver is imperative. Scott plus Slash is rock gold.
Yes yes yes to fall to pieces
Fall to pieces was written by guitarist Slash
'Dead and Bloated' is probably my favorite STP anthem. It's raw and visceral. It is truly a song from the gut. A close second is 'Sex Type Thing.' They were a little harder than grunge. Like so many others- Staley, Cobain, Cornell- Weiland was taken way too soon.
"Dead and Bloated" Yes! Yes!
These are my two favorite songs by STP.
You said taken way too soon,well when you take drugs that’s kind of the end result
"Where the River Goes" tops that category for me.
Piece of Pie is their heaviest and best song
STP is one of the best bands out of the 90’s. RIP Scott Weiland. His voice was one of a kind, the band made incredible music. Interstate Love Song is awesome

They were in the same era as grunge but weren't classified as grunge
They had their own sound all together
@@gabrielledormuth4634

Sour Girl for me!!!!!!
I LOOOVE Sour Girl!
was just about to suggest those two songs as well Patrick...."Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart", and "Sour Girl" are great ;)
According to Wiki, the meaning of the song is indeed about being stuck in the same situation over and over again. In Scott's case, it was his heroin addiction.

He recently released an instrumental album with guitar session man extraordinaire, Tom Bukovac, called Trip the Witch. Worth checking out, for sure.
She hit on it right there about the drug addiction, alcoholism, Scott Wieland and Layne Staley had the same problem, as well as Nikki Sixx and Slash. Many struggled with herion addiction and alcohol too. So much talent wasted.
This is one of my favorite bands from the 90s. So many good songs. Alternative rock, the successor to classic rock.

This is my favorite STP song. Pretty cool it was your first. Yes, this is grunge. Not from Seattle, but the same era, on the same radio stations.
They did "Plush" a few months ago. Another banger.

Interstate Love Song is another great song by Stone Temple Pilots
They were amazing in concert too! RIP Scott.
Their "Core" album is awesome! anything from that album you will love!
Great Grunge band. RIP, Scott.
This is another of the few 90s rock bands I got into back then. Great band.

They were STP lead singer Scott Weiland with Slash, Matt , and Duff from Guns'N'Roses.
Try Slither.
I love slither! Dammit Scott was sexy in that video! Like the musical love child of Iggy pop, Jim morrison, and Sid vicious.
I would agree with this. Slither and Fall to Pieces. I especially love the cover of Pink Flyod's Wish You Where Here.
Wicked Garden is heavy. You'll love it.
The drums are absolutely 💯 sick in this song!!!

Yum! Love Scott's voice, miss it more.
I remember seeing them play at a small bar here in San Diego back when they called themselves Might Joe Young! Great band! RIP Weiland
RIP Scott Weiland🙏 that's the lead singers name.
GRUNGE/ROCK
One of my all-time favorite bands. They have such excellent, great music.
You two are a breath of fresh air!!For your Christmas songs how about The Prayer by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli (he is an opera singer).It is so so beautiful 🙏
Greatest vocalist ever. R I P Scott.
Interstate Love Song is widely considered their best work so definitely add that to the must do list. Sour Girl, Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart, Wicked Garden, Sex Type Thing, Days Of The Week, Lady Picture Show are all person favorites as well.
Piece of pie, wicked garden, dead and bloated. Love it!!!! And he was such a great front man. Addiction has robbed us of so many great artists and songs we will never get to hear.

I saw them a few years ago with their new lead singer and they are still great. The leader singer is like a Wieland clone in looks, moves and voice and he nails it.
It is alternative metal. Probably my all time favorite metal. His name was Scott Weiland.
Not at all metal. STP was alternative rock originally labeled grunge. Alice is Chains and Soundgarden were alt metal labeled grunge.
RIP Scott!!! One of the greatest voices of all-time...
Oooh you should check out their song "Creep"- you'll remember that one, for sure 🤘
I am with you @spookytraveller… I think that “Creep” might be their best song.
"Interstate Love Song" is definitely a must.
Excellent choice.
Stone Temple Pilots are bad ass.
You will enjoy their rabbithole.
Scott Weiland was the Lead Singer and this was considered Alternative Rock, Rock and Grunge.. all of the above.. This was one of the biggest bands of the 90s.. Scott was later in the band Velvet Revolver. Interstate Love Song, Plush and Sour Girl are some of their other great songs..
Sour Girl off of the album No.4 will always be one of my favorite songs.
These guys have so many great songs!!!!
There was so much good music that came out of the 90’s it’s hard to go wrong with any genre
Slither by Velvet Revolver is pretty awesome! Scott is the singer of this band toward the end.
Yes yes yes more of them please
"Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail..." -Always loved that. LOVE this band. RIP SCOTT...
One of the best front men ever! 90's best for sure

So many good songs. Please do "Wicked Garden." RIP Scott Weiland.
“Interstate Love Song” and “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart,” please! Both are amazing, with totally different feels to them, and “Trippin’…” is blistering. Thank you!
Scott Weiland. He later went on to be the frontman for Velvet Revolver, which is basically Guns and Roses w/out Axel Rose. He’s so great!! RIP Scott!
Not many friends from back then still alive-just like the frontmen from back then 🙏😥❤️
STP is a great band!!! 🔥🔥🔥
It is grunge! And yes exactly! Flies in the Vaseline we are, sometimes it blows my mind, keep getting stuck here all the time! Is an actual lyric in the song!
Interstate Love Song. Without question is the 'everyone loves this song' of all of their portfolio, but this was a tremendous band for quite some time. A LOT of great tracks.
Scott Weiland, vocals. Dean DeLeo, guitars, Robert DeLeo, bass. And the severely underrated Eric Kretz on drums. The Pilots' sound is mainly driven by the DeLeo brothers, who were clearly influenced by Zeppelin & Aerosmith. Weiland had a phenomenal ability to shift the tonal quality of his voice, so it could sound like they had 5 singers instead of one. I know they released an album after Scott's death, but I haven't heard it. There were plans for Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park) to take over on vocals, but then, of course, he died as well. Also, at some point in the mid to late 90's, when Weiland was in the throes of addiction & recovery, the rest of the band recorded an album with a different singer (can't recall the gent's name) under the name of Talkshow. It was a solid album, but clearly not STP without Weiland. Given the pattern, I'm sure the DeLeo brothers will carry on musically in some capacity, probably with Kretz in tow.
Please check out "Interstate Love Song" for a sampling of how these guys could vary their sound. Tremendous depth in their catalog.

Yes, I agree. A very underrated Eric Kretz on drums.
For female Friday’s..Jann Arden, “Insensitive “ or KD Lang, “Constant Craving”
or Amanda Marshall, “Dark Horse”. All are bangers for sure! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
STP is classic grunge! God, I love that 90s sound! Thanks for this, guys!
Another great band, did like this song of theirs! Thank ya!
Loved STP. I used to do my workout to their album, it kept you rockin'. Gone too soon...sad....
A+ video!
Such a great rock song, it's a 90s classic!
This is such a killer song!! Great riff, great energy!!! My favorite of theirs!! 😃
I love STP. They were the first CD I bought, when migrating over from cassettes. So many good songs that hit at the soul level.
I was very lucky to see STP in concert when Scott was in good form and mostly good health. At his best, he had an absolutely amazing voice which was even better live than it was recorded in studio. A very underrated band IMO.
My son and I spent an entire summer going to Rock Festivals. They were at one of them along with so many great artists. I think it 2006, best summer ever. 😊❤️
"Fly in the Vaseline" is a play on the fairly old-timey phrase "fly in the ointment" which basically means a good thing that is spoiled by something, like a fly spoils the ointment. He's saying they're the fly, or the thing that spoils the situation.
"It was a great party, the only fly in the ointment was my brother got smashed and wouldn't stop puking all over the place."
Scott Weiland is the lead singer's name. He was amazing. He is sorely missed. RIP
Still remains is gorgeous and will tear at your heart. People have tattoos with the lyrics.
I remember when this video premiered. Great to be a teenager in the 90’s!!
Scott Wieland, on vocals. RIP.
They have so many great songs you could do a whole channel on them!!! Every album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
STP is one of the best bands of alllll time. RIP, Scott 🖤🥀
I know that m late but Rob you nailed the meaning
I love how you guys remind of old school music I have not thought about in a while. Cheers 🍺
This song, and STP in general, is sort of grunge-ish. It's got the fuzzy guitars of metal and the uptempo of punk, which are hallmarks. You might consider it "alternative rock," which is basically music from the same era that didn't really fit the grunge template fully. You could listen to something by, say, Nirvana or Pearl Jam, and then something by Green Day (who are more punk leaning than metal leaning) for an illustration of the difference in sound.
Basically grunge is one part metal, one part punk, one part depression, and one part heroin. Mix until well blended.
Another great one from this era that is often overlooked is "mother love bone", one of my all time favorites
@@andrewsimpson4645 so much great music from that era. Of course, I might just be a biased relic.
Great song, great review. Been hearing the song for years, but never saw the video. Y'all made some astute observations. Well done. Keep up the good work.
Dead and Bloated, Sin , Creep, Trippin' on a hole in a paper heart. Scott Weiland was a tortured genius and like many left a great hole when he departed. The DeLeo brother's are some of the most gifted writer's of straight up rocking songs that were all over the place.
A really great one to react to by STP after this one is Sour Girl. The vibe in that one is incredible and the video features evil Teletubbies!
Awesome reaction! Loved STP from my high school days. Reminds me of when I used to try and sing this on Rockband. "Creep," "Big Empty" and "Sour Girl" are the main 3 songs I'd recommend if you're ever feeling sentimental.
I ghost wrote Vaseline for Stone Temple Pilots as a gift and tribute to Scott Weiland1994 through Howard Stern who I was Ghost writing for at the time. I kept bragging to stern that I had ghost written songs in classic rock genre and could prove it on tape. The song was about Scott's addiction to drugs more so heroin. So you too pick that up in one shot just like I sang it for them in one shot thanks Jerry.
No way Jerrile that is so dang cool and an honor for us to reviews it and have you watch it 💜
