Honestly sounded better than I expected, still better than 99.99999% of all humans, ever lol. What a song. Big loss. The art lives on forever though. RIP SCOTT
So much pain = so much beauty. It’s unfortunate that tortured souls can create beauty for us to enjoy. To anybody reading this and is going through a rough time just remember. Life’s f’n cruel, stop surviving and just live. You dont have to make anybody happy but yourself. Never be ashamed to ask for help.
@@WinstonSmith24 Thank you. Seeking help and talking about one’s feelings shouldn’t be considered a weakness for a man, it should be considered a strength. Hopefully you can pass this fact on to your loved ones or anyone who needs to hear this. Take care.
@@salcamarena1819 I agree with you totally. I hope you’re doing well. I got the chance to see STP a couple times, once in about 1996 and once again in 2008…both incredible shows. I love this song. Take care of yourself and I appreciate you sharing that good bit of wisdom.
@@haley-ss7nn me personally I prefer Scott’s voice and concert performance over Layne’s, love his twang and his stage presence; but Layne is really great in self titled nonetheless!
@@thefinalresistance5312 Layne was great obviously, but Scot had the ability to elevate any song of any genre so for my money, Scott was the best vocalist of my generation.
Scott is often a messy disappointment unfortunately, especially during this later year. However Layne killed that performance and was on point even while strung out.
@@KBizzyWeiland and Staley are my favorites. No one touches Layne’s range period but Scott musically was a chameleon thus his catalog was much more broad. Layne was a statue on stage but his voice commanded your attention. Scott’s stage presence was second to none when he was at his best. They’re both great in their own way and I can jump back and forth to each depending on the mood. Layne is different in that his downfall was more private so we didn’t see him at his worst. Scott unfortunately became the rock cliche in front of our eyes. Both are tragic. Sorry for the novel response lol. Like you, it’s just my opinion. Both deserve more recognition than they get. Both have bands that belong in the HOF.
Just what I thought as I watched. It seems he has had that look on his eyes since forever and has been accentuated in time. Real pity to have lost him too.
I was saying to my son just day before yesterday that every day for about 1 or 2 weeks straight I would get in my car and turn to my favourite station ,Lithium, and I was hearing this song within 5 minutes!!!! Now here I am again. So if Scott Weiland has been about celebrating his up and coming birthday,,,,, 🎶Happy birthday to you Scott!🎶 Another sad story of someone taken way to young. He will have been 56 this coming October 27th. Such a loss. He was so talented from beginning to the tragic end. He changed his vocal sounds from the classic deep "yarl" to a higher more gritty sound with Velvet Revolver and then a deep smooth "Bowie-ish tone. I loved each and everyone of his styles. Rest Easy Scott. You will never be forgotten.
This version has what none of the others did....The Whole Weight of his life backing these vocals. They pulled this version for a bit. Thanks for reposting!!
@@WinstonSmith24 I see someone going through the motions and in extreme pain. His inner circle failed him. I'm blown away by people who enjoy this version. He was already dead and only he knew this fact.
He still sounded so amazing after all he put himself thru..... There’s so few of them left. I’m thankful for what he gave us while he was struggling. Scott and his grungy friends were the voices of my formative years and they will always hold a special place in my heart. Addiction sucks. Be well everyone
Same. Obviously not in his prime by a mile here, but there’s just something haunting about it. It’s right up there with the STP Unplugged version for me. I love Scott Weiland, just want to give him a hug here and tell him thanks. His life and art impacted millions.
@@tomwilbert8968I loved Scott’s voice ,but I’d say the 93 unplugged version is miles better than this one. Scott was a shell of his former self by this point. This version isn’t awful ,but I can’t put anything past 2000 up there with 92 to at most 96 stp. For me prime STP was 1992-1994
@@shadowslayer19cg91 no it fucking didnt. Touring and performing hundreds of days of years for years and years did. Also drinking and meds for his bipolar disorder messed him up. Also he had a small stroke i think. Its sad . But im so sick of everyone saying oh heroin ruined him. He was not ruined at all..
Scott sung very good here. The only difference is he's not able to go as deep, he went from baritone to tenor. I think he killed this performance and it goes to show even subtances never tore his talent away.
I have to say this version is really good and the tempo is partly to thank for that. The STP boys would often lay this one way too far back imo. R.I.P Scott, his vocals were on point here.
Sounds great. Scott looks like he's in pain and struggling. Regardless, he's one of the greatest voices that came out of the 90's. . R.I.P. Scott Weiland.
Yaya HJ I definitely miss hearing him sing 😢 I would get so excited when he’d release new music, more than I would for any other artist. It’s so sad I’ll never feel that again.
@@jimmylad7358 a talented musician who was taken to early but knowing his at peace makes it a little easier. My mom got me into STP when she played the whole core album one summer day while she cleaned the house and been a fan since
It was indeed. I followed his career very closely from the moment I heard ‘Plush’ in 1993 right up until his tragic passing. He was always my favourite frontman and he released so much amazing music during his lifetime and for that I am very grateful.
Scott used to call home at the loft on 3rd & Alameda to hum melodies in the answering machine while he was working as a paste up artist for the LA daily news. I was at the loft, I heard it.
How the fuck did I miss this. I saw STP live in Durham NH with a buddy of mine and we were the only black guys there. We stood right up front and Scott did everything. We were smoking cigarettes and he literally breathed in our smoke while dancing that dance of his. He was right up in our faces and it was so fuckin cool. I wish he knew how much none of that shit mattered and that he just thought he was super cool because he was an amazing writer and singer. But I write better on drugs too.
Kinda funny...I'd prefer watching SW performing STP songs rather than present-day STP perform their songs with their fake front-man. SW gotta be one of the best R&R frontmen of all time.
still miss him and still miss them grunge rock delores lead singer of the cranberries chris cornell chester benninngton scott weiland mike starr layne staley kurt cobain and the lead singer of mud honey
I love STP but i can't do Scott's live performances. He is an entire octave above what he did on the albums. Grunge keeps me engaged with the deep sorrowful vocals. I wonder why he switched to such a higher pitch in vocals. Maybe it's just me, but I find the deeper notes easier on my voice. Layne Staley had the same issue. All love and respect though, they are legends
Honestly sounded better than I expected, still better than 99.99999% of all humans, ever lol. What a song. Big loss. The art lives on forever though.

He's top 5 all time dude. Lol

I couldn't of state it better than you... thank you...
Him, Layne, Chris, Kurt....best fuckers ever.
One of the greatest voices of all times. The range the effortless vibrato....just beautiful
His voice is getting rough here but I'd say top 25 lol..Layne, Maynard, and Chris Cornell can't be Topped ;)
@@haley-ss7nn me personally I prefer Scott’s voice and concert performance over Layne’s, love his twang and his stage presence; but Layne is really great in self titled nonetheless!

Sound terrible here
@@thefinalresistance5312 Layne was great obviously, but Scot had the ability to elevate any song of any genre so for my money, Scott was the best vocalist of my generation.
This is like when Layne Staley did unplugged, he is their but no one is home and he gives it his all and it beautiful
their what?

@@andrewgonzalez6208 have you seen scotts last preformance he killed it he did amazing
@@andrewgonzalez6208agreed. Even at his worst, Staley was superior to Weiland even at his best. My opinion of course.

His eyes don't show any sparkle or life but he stil sounds amazing.
Just what I thought as I watched. It seems he has had that look on his eyes since forever and has been accentuated in time. Real pity to have lost him too.
He's not smiling and chewing gum like he used to
I think he had a stroke.
Too much background singers, not enough Weiland.
Herion does that to your health( his eyes,skin,ect.) He sure was blessed w/ a beautiful voice!!
This is kind of haunting but in a good way. Honestly it pulled on my heartstrings. Poor Scott, we always loose the awesome ones.
Scott, Layne, and Chris all had the most hauntingly beautiful voices…it’s like they were able to channel their inner demons into works of art…
Yes very well said. The "inner demons" had some crazy hauntingly beautiful voices, didn't they.
Lights are on but nobodys homes, that's where we get the expression Big Empty. Beautiful performance

One of my favorite STP songs. You will forever live in my heart, Scott
one of the fuckin best.
Dude was an absolute poet and martyr for how we feel without the capacity to express it the way he does
This is true musicians and nobody can be like them anymore in todays music Never No one can be like him 100 percent
Amazing. He was phenomenal when clean. What a loss.
October 2023 and rolling...
RIP Scott Weiland, five years already, 'big empty' in the world of rock since then for sure
He truly lived the tragic life of a rock star
Haunting.
Definitely. You can hear his pain and heroin really took a toll on his vocals.

I love any version of this song
Rip Scott 💜
So hard to get through...I have been there as far as addiction. It just takes it all.
weiland is a god
Wow. I had not seen this until now, and I’m an original STP fan from late 92.
I miss Scott
I saw him with STP in Moncton, NB back in 2010. That dude gave a legendary performance.
absolutely timeless song. And sung here with his whole life lived nearly through, it hits that much harder.
What a song
Rest in Peace Scott...
My favorite version of this song. Rip Scott
This is so great and heartbreaking at the same time.
Scott reminds me at this pointbin his life, a cross between Michael J.Fox and Charlie Sheen. His voice sounds great with southern twang♥️♥️👍
This version of Big Empty always pulls my heart strings, I don't know why 😢
Rest in peace Scott 🙏
My favorite song of all time. A masterpiece. You will be missed Scott!
Much Love..You are dearly missed
Scott, Jeremy.....immensi talenti. Tommy, sei stato un grande a suonare con loro.....
Excellent vocals by Scott, miss you brother RIP
Beautiful voice , will always remember him for the amazing music he sang. RIP
Pure magic. RIP sweet prince
My favorite singer! ❤

Divine man.
Thank you Scott. You are one of the best. RIP
We miss you ❤️
Good version. RIP, Scott.
No words here>>> r.I.p SW
Oh scott 😥
Miss you so much Scott 🙏🙏
Miss you Scott. Rest well brother
Shell of a man. RIP
That gentleman, is what a big empty is
Holy fuck, he's unrecognizable
I miss you, Scott. I really do
Lived the life of 10 kings. Checked out the only way he would know. Definitely a weathered soul.
Good slide comping
His music made the world a better place. Does anyone know of any demos or unreleased songs not on RUclips?
R.I.P. Scotty ❤
Magical.
Una leyenda, jamas te olvidaremos
I’m So thankful to have seen STP
We love forever Scott, respect!
Scott used to call home at the loft on 3rd & Alameda to hum melodies in the answering machine while he was working as a paste up artist for the LA daily news. I was at the loft, I heard it.
que diferente estaba :(
This was beautiful
Legend.❤
Fantastic
increible..inmenso talento muy bueno el video
Si, a pesar de su mal estado a causa de las droga, siempre lo dio todo hasta el final.
“I’m Half the Man i Used to be”….couldn’t be more appropriate of a line.
Wooooow requiem for Scottie
preciosa la cancion .. es tan linda y a la vez tan triste. gracias por todo scott y buen viaje,.
Hermosa canción hermosa ínterpretacion ídolo nunca te olvidaré
