Same -- I'm self-taught too (mostly), and have learned a lot over the years from videos and other materials like these. There are plenty of interviewers out there who ask about songwriting and the creative process in non-technical terms, and those interviews can be great, but they aren't interchangeable with discussions that involve more nuanced technical analysis; they're two different things for two different (likely overlapping) audiences. I don't find it snobby at all that musicians, when discussing music with each other, presumably for an audience of other musicians, would use correct chord names and proper musical terminologies. I would expect the same from professionals in any field.

It’s like he constantly tries to impress people with knowing all these fucked up oddball jazz chords. I just don’t dig the guy’s vibe. But at the same time, I DO dig a lot of the people he interviews and find something new about almost all of them when watching his interviews.

I don't find him pompous for knowing music theory and interviewing musicians through that lens; I wish more interviewers were like him in that regard. I always come away from his interviews feeling excited about the music of whoever it is he's interviewing. He says some eye-roll stuff sometimes but his theory knowledge is a strength, IMO, not a weakness.

even if you don't like the interviewer, deleo is awesome to listen to. there's another clip of them talking about 'interstate love song'.

which brings me to my next point, stp is fucking awesome.

It’s not his knowledge that off-putting to me. Maybe his attitude and presentation? He just comes off a smug to me.

Think he might just fit in pretty well around here.

Listening to Tiny Music right now

damn, what an album. A huge creative leap from Purple to this one really.

this is good rock and roll, uh, music

I would imagine with the STP camp still rolling along they aren't looking to release much. I'd imagine the VR vault to be pretty thin but his solo stuff is probably completely hanging in the wind.

yeah, what a shame. He has some very good solo albums. Not sure if there is more unreleased music though.

I love good ole Scott weiland. This is annoying.

This is shit.

Is there a place I can conveniently access his covers album? I remember he did Francis Bean and other tracks.

I never knew he had a kid

His kid sounds just like him.. not sure if I'm a fan of his stuff, but I respect him for making music in his own style rather than being an stp copy

Today I learned this is how they did the intro to "Dead & Bloated"

I had seen that footage before but I can’t remember where. It was a long time ago. And yes, that is cool.

Her singing is pretty bad but I love that arrangement

Loved that lyric flub
