I really want these guys to be back soon. Having said that, and after watching those Shangri La videos, fuck i miss Scott.

Finding some unknown singer and having it work out seems unlikely.

There are precedents. The Dillinger Escape Plan flourished after doing that. I think INXS did it too.

I'm gonna be the new singer guys.

Bi-Polar Bear is so good, guys. It took me a while, but I got there, and I'm so glad I did. Robert's playing is so beautiful. Dean's guitar is perfect. The vocals took the most effort for me to get used to, but when they sunk in (after a lot of listens), the song just worked beautifully. The last two minutes or so of this song is basically perfect. I feal like a happier person for having come to love it.

Shangri-La Dee Da may ultimately become my favorite STP album (though it will be tough to surpass Purple). I just love it so much right now.

I probably won't, but I should.

Shangri-La Dee Da is such a great piece of work.

I'm gonna. Screw it. Even if they listen to it for 2 sec before shutting it off in disgust the guys from STP actually listened to me warble over their music.

True, and that's pretty cool.

Though it's entirely dependent on who they choose, I'm relatively open-minded on the idea of STP with a new singer. On my recent thorough revisiting of the band's records, Scott's vocals and lyrics were quite often something I felt I had to listen past or consciously make allowances for. He had a really strong voice but I don't feel he very often transcended 'rock star lead vocalist' stock cliches, his voice doesn't carry the kind of gravitas of someone like Vedder, Cobain or Staley. The DeLeo brothers and the drummer guy wrote some really killer songs, however.

Is that Talk Show album any good? I've been hoping to pick up a cheap copy soon to see how much I really would enjoy a Weiland-less STP in practice.

Turns out I saw the last UK show with Scott. It was the only time I saw them, better late than never.

Im interested too, although i feel scott was the best man for those guys. He was a really big part in why STP was successful.

Don't worry guys I'll still post on RM after they pick me.
