Scott Weiland dice que el Grunge ha sido la última gran revolución en la música. Según él muchas bandas modernas no valen nada

Scott didn’t specifically say the word Grunge, but the list of bands he referred to made it clear what he was talking about (Grunge/90′s Alternative), here’s part of the review of last night’s STP show in Niagra Falls, New York:

Scott’s other memorable rant was about how they were part of the last great music revolution. He named Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and the Smashing Pumpkins as their contemporaries and said that bands today just don’t have it.

Also, before the obligatory morons who call STP Grunge/Pearl Jam ripoffs, STP already had many of their Core songs written and demoed in 1990, including this 1990 demo of their hit Wicked Garden. It’s kind of hard to rip off Pearl Jam when they don’t exist yet.

Now here is the full review posted by jno on the BelowEmpty.com forums, a review of STP’s show last night:

Just got back from the show. Rose Hill Drive was already on stage when I got there at 7:45. STP hit the stage at about 9:35 — crowd was getting a little restless. Setlist was the norm — but with one notable exception, a LONG jam after Hickory Dichotomy that turned into a full-out song from Scott. No clue what it was or if they’ve been doing it on other shows on this part of a tour. Toward the end, it looked like Rob had trouble with his earpiece. It was almost as if the jam/song was supposed to go a bit longer, but they couldn’t finish it like they wanted to.

The guys were all on point tonight. Scott was much more animated than normal. Much more so than in Rochester in May. He was all over the place — dancing and talking to the crowd after just about every song. Highlights included him saying he’s “looking forward to working on another album” during his intro to Between the Lines and then Dean taking the mic later in the set and making a “confession.” It turns out he, Robert and Eric were the reason they came on late. Dean said, “Scott normally takes the heat for things like this, but it was us tonight.” He then alluded to them running into delays at the USA/Canada border on their way to the venue.

Another highlight — during another impromptu jam session later in the set, the subject of marriage came up. Scott said something about Rob’s second wife and that it takes a lot of work to make a marriage work. Rob then replied — “and we all know something about that, the four of us have been married for 20 years!”

Scott’s other memorable rant was about how they were part of the last great music revolution. He named Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and the Smashing Pumpkins as their contemporaries and said that bands today just don’t have it.

All in all a great show — venue sat about 1500 or so and it was filled to the brim. Every time we get to see the boys it’s a treat and tonight they delivered.
