Stone Temple Pilots fire lead singer
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
FIRE Lead Singer Scott Weiland BREAKING NEWS Stone Temple Pilots has unceremoniously FIRED its lead singer Scott Weiland ... who's been the face of the seminal rock band for 20 years. The group released an ominously curt statement today, saying, "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland." They don't give any further explanation. It's pretty shocking for several reasons ... the main being Weiland has been a core member of the group since it came together in 1986. His voice has become synonymous with STP's sound ... on hits like "Plush," "Sour Girl," and "Sex Type Thing." Another reason this came out of nowhere ... Weiland denied rumors he was leaving the band just yesterday, telling Rolling Stone, "STP has not broken up. I haven't quit. I haven't been fired." Rumors of a split began a couple of months ago when Slash said STP had fired Weiland. STP reformed in 2008 after a 5-year hiatus and toured through last year -- but apparently it hasn't been working out. So far, it's unclear who STP has in mind to replace Weiland ... if anyone. Weiland is set to launch a solo tour next month. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2013/02/27/stone-...#ixzz2M7YJSpty Visit the TMZ Store: http://tmzstore.com |

Furthermore, taking three signals and combining them into one is a recipe for disaster, IMO. Get a great sound coming from your instrument and amp, then select the best microphone, mic preamp and compressor (if necessary) in order to capture your sound. Your sound might come for a REDDI box or an old Ampeg or a solid state Acoustic amp. It doesn't matter, as long as it's your sound. Don't get caught up in "Well I read on the internet that if I take a signal from here and one from there and one from there, then mix them, it'll be great!". Phasing is most certainly an issue, unless you're using something like a Little Labs IBP but even still, it should not be difficult. |

I thought it was funny, and worth at least a couple of lulz.
Again, I stress the need for a sarcasm font. You know...because I'm a slack-jawed yokel, I feel like the dorky-wonky smilie thingy is a threat to masculinity or something?? You know. Because posting dorky winky thingies makes you a gay?? (More sarcasm, btw - lighten up, laugh. Don't take any of this so seriously. Especially coming from some snot-nosed, wiseassed, never-was-never-will-be bass player, ya know??)

Probably going to have someone else (who knows what they're doing) mix it, and that way, you know, for a particular cut he doesn't like the sound of the miked amp. Well, he can take that dry signal and either re-amp or use a plug-in, however he feels is best. It's more to provide options during mixing than to acheive some monstrous bass sound. Like, the more I hear 'new' albums with 'modern' bass sounds, the more I want to have that old school, warm Ampeg Noel Redding/Geezer Butler sound. To me, the way Paul McCartney's bass sounds on Revolver is ideal. There's almost TOO MUCH bass in the sonic spectrum in music today, but with mp3 and compressed digital formats, along with bigger speaker, modern equipment and evolving tastes, there HAS to be some of that bottom end, or yohr record can't ever compete on any level. Like, it has to sound good on the radio, next to the prominent regional and national acts that it hopefully will be played alongside... and that's just the BASS; the guitars have been a NIGHTMARE, woth tuning issues, percussive 'chukkas' that muck up the mix, etc. Yeah...I thought 'we'll just go in and bash out 8-9 songs and mix 'em and call that a record.' That was over 9 months ago, we're almost halfway through, but with no real end in sight.

so maybe that's why I come across as completely acerbic. I've got musical blue balls.
It's a bitch.

Naw, they broke up when he got off the dope. Then he got back i on the shit, got arrested and then joined VR while in drug court. Personally, I like all their albums as STP (Purple, Tiny Music, and No. 4 being especially great) and I like Scott Weiland's first solo album 12 Bar Blues quite a bit. Not a fan of Talk Show, the album the STP guys did without Weiland, so me thinks them 'firing' him is a big mistake, and that they could possibly make up sooner rather than later, something somewhat akin to when Tommy Lee was 'fired' from Mötley for about 6 months in 2009...

Seven Mary Three and Days of the New were my favorite hilarious copycat bands from that era. I feel like they go under-appreciated for paving the way for Nickelback and Creed.

Speaking of GNR, did anyone catch the VH1 concert from london last saturday?
Gotta say, they sounded awesome... Axls voice hasnt been that good in ten years, it was GREAT to hear all of the stuff from the Illusion albums live. Axl looks like he's kinda going through the motions more than i ever remember, he doesnt have that physical fire he used to, but still, he sounded very good. Feel like punching myself in the junk for forgetting to record it... it made them seem relevant again. |

Go to Berkelee School of Music, USC Film school, UCLA Film school, NYU, etc. There are very few people working successfully (and by that, I mean actually earning "real" money) in the music business that didn't graduate from one of those prestigious schools. Whether it Film/TV composition and production, Music Supervision, marketing and promotions, songwriting, etc., it's nearly impossible to compete with well-educated and extremely talented individuals that had had the benefit of a music education taught by the world's best teachers. You're a mid-20's guy in Missouri that's needed more than nine months to cut 12 songs. I know film and TV composer/producers that create 12 Master Quality tracks per day. It's a really, really tough road otherwise. Good luck, Dude! |

Actually, the deal with Days of the New is that Travis wanted to be "different" and have no electric guitars allowed, ever. Then he went on to have substance abuse issues, fired the band (which became Tantric, with a new singer), then put out an electronic record.
It's a shame because he was a talented dude but a complete train wreck. Oh, and he had the stage presence of a can of soup. |

That said, the new GNR band is comprised of some ridiculously talented players but to me, they come off as bland because they're so good. Slash and Duff and Izzy and Steven were "feel" players. The difference between Matt and Adler's drumming is shocking and Matt's songs don't "feel" anywhere near as "good" as Steven's. This was no more apparent than their Rock And Roll Hall of Fame induction, where Guns and Roses sounded like Guns and Roses (minus Axl). |
