Weiland's Purple to the Core Concert at Revolution Live 8/24/13

I went with my friends to Weiland's concert Purple to the Core on 8/24/13 at Revolution Live in Ft. Lauderdale.  First I had the drama of the meet and greet, that no one knew the time or if I needed a ticket, after I had all ready printed a receipt from my VIP ticket purchase. Eventually that was fixed. The venue in itself was nice, two bars, a lowered open floor, and a upper VIP area. The first band to go on was Bobby Lee Rodgers Duo , they were great. The next band was The Last Internationale and they were amazing. They did some cover songs and their own.  I couldn't believe how good they were, really enjoyed their set. I regret that I didn't record their sets. When TLI set was over I was with the Meet and Greet group. We were taken back stage to meet Scott. I was vaguely nervous, but extremely excited to meet him. Then he steeped out of a door way on the side and I said "Ohhh my god", and it finally hit me that I was actually meeting him. 18 years of waiting to meet your idol. So I waited for my turn, which was agonizing. A security/crew person took my phone to take my picture with Scott. Scott autographed poster for me and then we did introductions, and  I fumbled while having to switch my poster to my left hand and shake with my right. I got a smirk from Wieland, I died. Next we took our picture and then I had to leave. In my last seconds of me with him, I told him to have a kick ass show and he nodded at me as he took another picture. My group was waiting for Scott to be done and then we were ushered out of the back and people were screaming " Thanks!" We Love you!".

This was the set list for the night :

• Opener Jazz piece
• "Crackerman"
• "Meatplow"
• "Paralysis"
• "Jean Genie" (David Bowie cover)
• "Kitchenware and Candybars"
• "Where the River Goes"
• "Mountain Song" (Jane's Addiction cover)
• "The Big Empty"
• "Can't Stand Me Now" (The Libertines cover)
• "Vaseline"
• "Dead & Bloated"

Encore

• "Roadhouse Blues" (The Doors cover)
• "Unglued"

 Overall The Wildabouts did a phenomenal job backing up Weiland. I thought this was a great show. All songs were spot on and Wieland singing was great, every pitch perfect. The random moments of the concert were Weiland's bit about alligators. Otherwise got entertained by his skills on the kazoo and hermonica in one song. And his obsession with putting the mega phone near the amps which would make a wooing noise. The encore time frame was interesting, all that played was some background music and the phaser machine, which made me think Wieland might be good with electronica. At one point I got emotional while Wieland was singing the song Kitchenware and Candybars, he really belted this one out, and I was imagining him in different times of his life singing, the concerts i've seen him, my obsession, and the culminating fact of finally meetig him.

Concert Post SOON

Hey guys, I'll be posting about the concert I went to over the weekend this week. AMAZING SHOW! I also met Scott and words can not describe what it's like to wish to meet someone for about 18 years and finally meet them.

Review of Weiland's Memoir: Dead & Not for Sale

Scott Wieland: Dead and Not for Sale memoir, was a roller coaster ride of a book. First off this book took forever for me to get it was released in July 2012 and I didn't get till Summer 2013. Also what was interesting was that with the publishing of his book Scott had made web episodes for the book (which are down below) There were many sad things that have on in Scott's life.  To date he's not doing drugs and I hope it stays like that FOREVER. He's an amazing artist and i will always support his music. Love this man to death!
A lot of people didn't like the book. Sometimes I wanted to know more information like about his time in jail, but overall I loved learning about how some of the songs were created, how STP was created, and how Scott has countless times fallen but has always managed to fight back and survive. Furthermore I loved seeing the pictures and art work throughout the book, it made the book seem more of him, then a bunch of pages with words on them. Some critics thought it took away from the book, but in my opinion he is a very creative musically driven person and his creativity shows in different ways throughout this book. Eventually I want to read his ex wife Mary Forsberg  (Yep, the same Mary that's made famous from the Wet My Bed song on Core) book Fall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll, and Mental Illness.

"I was Superman but looks are deceiving" Sour Girl Favorite Video

There are many video's that STP has produced and I love each and everyone of them, but I had to pick my personal favorite, which was Sour Girl. It was a while since i heard from the great band, Believing that there was never going to be another album or that  Weiland fell off the deep end and in some serious trouble.  Only having Weiland's 12 bar blues to keep me company and the STP albums.Then i saw it on my tv...THE video. Surreal. A dream/nightmare perhaps. Then the orchestra strings playing. And then a shirtless tattooed figure came into view....and i fell in love all over again. It was Weiland, but he wasn't super skinny. He looked amazing to me. Loved how the video changed from black and white together, depending on the lyrics and the mood.  All i knew is Sarah Michelle Gellar was a very lucky girl (Interesting fact she's a fan of STP and while Scott was in jail he had become a fan of the Buffy show and requested her for the video). Gellar plays a dark angel/Scott's love interest in the video.My obsession returned, and of course none of my friends knew who i was talking about or why my school binders had a shirtless tattooed man on the cover. Oh and then by chance that  summer i got to see him in concert (My 1st STP concert). You will remember this video based on the evil bunny, and the telletubby like creatures, and Weilands dancing which looked like he was doing Tai Chi.

"Tangled with your Mind" the Happy in Galoshes Review

Happy in Galoshes (2008) was Scott''s second solo album. I knew Scott had made another solo album. But was still annoyed he was not with STP, so i never took a chance listened.It was not until i found out he was touring in Florida, did i listen to his album. If i were to compare to 12 Bar Blues its completely different. The one song i loved is Tangled in my Mind the video was cute. Unbenounced  to me I have been listening to the deluxe edition on Youtube that had 11 extra songs to the already 10, so it's a  bit of a mix.

Review of Happy in Galoshes

*Missing Cleveland- All I kept things of was davie bowies changes, the music and the chord pattern.
*Tangle with your mind- Reminds me of "tiny music" album.
*Blind Confusion- really indie
*Paralysis- another one that reminds me of bowie, super catchy. LOVE
*She sold her system- very spacey, and reminds me of 12 bar blues Barberalla #2, very .chill.
*Fame (David Bowie cover)
*Killing me Sweetly- good
*Big Black Monster- great
*Crash- i didn't like the beginning, in such a high pitch for him. Love it!
Beautiful Day- i'm in between on this one
=Hyper-Fuzz-Funny Car- reminded me of "crackerman". "I'm burning alive" All it needed was a bull horn!
=Man I didn't know- was written for his dad he never knew. really heart breaking
=Somtimes chicken soup- love the banjo in it
=Something must go this way-
*Pictures and Computers (I'm not Superman)- love the big band feel to it in the beginning with the trumpets
*Arch Angel- there were too many noises in this song and it annoyed me, I couldn't appreciate the song due to this
*Be not afraid- I really thought this was intresting because it is a Jesiuit Hymn
Exerpt from Scott Weiland's memoir Dead and Not for Sale:

"In my preteen years, I had developed a deep and abiding love of God, inspired by the ministry of Father Plato and Father Trevisin. Dave brought us into the Catholic fold. My mother had been Episcopalian but felt comforted by the view of Christ afforded by these two gentle priests. It wasn’t about fire and brimstone, guilt or punishment. It was about a compassionate and patient love that doesn’t judge, scorn, or scold. “Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow me and I will give you rest.” I related to the notion of… an all-forgiving love. I wanted it.

I became an altar boy. I wore the robes. During Mass, I brought the wine and host to the priests. I lit the candles. Today, no matter where I am–tour bus, hotel room, studio, cabin in the woods–I light the candles. They… remind me of a time when God sat in the center of my heart. Not that He’s ever disappeared…"
