something must be coming soon, everyday they’re posting a picture of a jigsaw piece that i assume is going to make up a new album cover on social media

My guess for the probable new STP lead singer reveal tomorrow…
Spoiler: …Dee Snider!

No, no and no. It will be probably someone we never heard of, like David Coutts. If Talk Show hadn't been a massive flop they could have had a 20th anniversary tour and recorded a new album. I actually really liked their album and Coutts wasn't bad.

Would be hilarious if it's Dave Coutts.

Doubt if his supervisor at Papa Gino's would let him take that much time off work for a tour/recording sessions.

So, the new album is called Meadow (announced on their website) and the singer's identity has leaked.

Now get to touring, guys! I want to throw all my hard-earned money at you!

The article specifically says that guy is NOT the new singer.

I mean, if you're going to be technical about it...

Say hello to Jeff Gutt, their new lead singer. New single "Meadow" is out this week.

Not bad. Gutt sounds a lot like Weiland.
Throbbing Member
Holy shit does he sound like Scott.
Seems to be be a nice pick.
Throbbing Member
They've tried so many times with singers who don't sound like Scott, so I imagine they were just like "fuck it".
Active Member
Boy, that song is fucking terrible.
I maintain that they lost their mojo after No. 4.
Throbbing Member
Its not terrible but its nothing special.
The guy sounds like if Scott was in a Nu Metal band.
Also is the low e string tuned to B? They doing the rusty cage tuning or did they really tune that low?

I thought that Shangri La Dee Da was outstanding and the most underrated in their catalog. The s/t was pretty good, but the fact Weiland recorded his vocals in another studio kind of hampered the album, it lacked the cohesion of their past five albums. I enjoyed the Bennington EP but that lineup was over before they could find their groove.
This new song is decent. It sounds like STP and Gutt is a good singer, but it lacks the spark that Weiland gave the music. He turned good material into great material.
Throbbing Member
It's still the first song and are most likely just playing it safe for the moment just to see what happens
Stubby Member
Not sure what I think of the whole thing, I feel sorry for them but no one cares to Scott.
The exactly same thing happened with Velvet Revolver. They were searching for someone for a long time before they gave Scott a try and bang, there is your Rock Star.
Shangri La Dee Da is a very underrated album, it has some amazing tracks on it, Wonderful, Black Again, etc. Some classic vocals on it.
I guess let's wait until the album comes out, not sure I was too into Chester with STP but lets see how it turns out.

Scott was a unique, quirky guy. He brought that to a band that was a pretty straightforward bluesy rock band. He was certainly the bands personality. That won’t be replaced or replicated. I’m just hoping for a few good songs and at least this guy will preserve the overall sound, as he sounds spot on.

Good Rolling Stone interview.

Mediocre song overall and honestly DeLeo Brothers should hang up the STP moniker. You can honestly see they're pigeonholed to it as AOA failed.
Active Member
And Talk Show was an even bigger flop, so I can see why they want to keep the name. This new song isn't groundbreaking, but it (and Gutt) have grown on me. It's not the same, obviously, without Scott, but he's dead and I don't fault the band for moving on. What you will get with STP 3.0 is a legacy act putting on a good show and a decent or even good album. I already saw the REAL STP twice, so I feel content.
Throbbing Member
Wow, that's uncanny.
Active Member
Anyone listen to the full show that Sirius played?
I.....was not a fan. I loved STP in the 90s but I feel like I'd never go see them today.

New self-titled album is out 3/18.
You can hear their new single here:

Is that really going to be the name of the album?? I hate to point out the obvious, but their last record was called the same thing. That would be incredibly lazy! I suppose Carry On was already taken by another legend.
I am marginally more excited for this than I am the WPC/Iha reunion (and their inevitable reimagining of 15-year old Zwan songs). It’s also surprising that there is no NYC show.
Active Member
TWO self-titled albums does seem kind of odd. But other acts (Weezer, Collective Soul) have done it. And I don't understand why they would play Buffalo and not NYC, and then head to Boston. No Boston show at all.
Throbbing Member
New song is better than anything off the last album with Scott.
