This is the release im the most exited for now!

[LongGoneDay]

Sick. Been waiting a while for this. "Guitar heavy, and stripped down" sounds good to me.
Thought the Wildabouts were a few steps below Scott in terms of talent, but a good show nonetheless.
Will def check out the Boston show.

[Bodhi]

Definitely excited about a new Scott Weiland album.  Unlike the dog shit his old band puts out with that dude from Linkin Park, Scott's solo stuff is usually quite good.  He did a one off song for the Avengers soundtrack back in 2012 that was totally under that radar that I thought was pretty awesome.

[rebelhipi]

Yes !
12 bar blues is awesome, Happy in galoshes is really great. And he made me even enjoy christmas music.

Only his cover album isint that great in my opinion.

Only listened to them once, but like what I hear so far.
Think I'm going to try and avoid hearing more until I can listen to the album in full.

The album sounds really really great. And im just past the half way of the album!

Different from every other band Scott has been in.

Nice, glad to hear it.
Gonna snag my copy tomorrow.

Caught the Boston show, and it was rockin!
Much improved from last years show.

They dropped the keyboardist(always a good decision in my opinion), and sacked their lackluster drummer.
They added Joey Castillo of QOTSA, Danzig, Lanegan Band fame, and he?s a beast. I think his addition just makes the band sound so much tighter.
Weiland had a lot of energy, and voice sounded great, especially in such a small venue(400, maybe 500 capacity).

Short show, but worth checking out. Might make my way up to the NH gig in a few months.

Setlist:

Crackerman
Modzilla
Amethyst
Meatplow
The Way She Moves
Big Bang Baby
Hotel Rio
Parachute
White Lightning
Vasoline
The Jean Genie
Dead & Bloated

Encore:
Circles
Unglued

Or this is a really bad aprils fool

This is fucked up.....

[LongGoneDay]

Damn, what a shame.
He left us with some good tunes.

Early favorites so far...
Hotel Rio, Youth Quake and Circles.

I thought White Lightning and Amethyst translated very well, live.

[JAEBALL]

I feel bad even assuming this...but was this drug related?

[faldor]

They're supposed to perform live on Sirius/XM this Friday on Howard 100. I'm not sure if that's still on after the passing of the guitarist. What a shame.

Edit - I just heard the promo for the show and apparently it was pre-recorded from Howard Stern's studio. So it will still air on Friday night, despite the loss.

As a huge Qotsa fan i couldnt be happier to hear that Joey joined the wildabouts, he is a top class drummer.

Lets see what is the next turn with this band.
The album is great, and it seems to get a great response as well. Something that should be extra hard when youre called Scott Weiland these days.

Caught the Manchester, NH show and it was pretty kick ass as well.
Same setlist as Boston, but first time they broke out Circles since Jeremy Brown?s passing.

Weiland was pretty energetic, and in great voice.

Cool hearing songs like Amethyst & Hotel Rio live after digesting the album versions.
Both translate well. Still really digging Blaster. Think the first half is really strong, then falls apart a bit with Beach Pop and Parachute, but picks up again with the T-Rex cover and Circles.

Unfortunately looks like Castillo has moved on, which is a shame because he brought a lot to the live show.
On the bright side, Mike Avenaim is his replacement, who plays drums on 3 of Blaster?s strongest tracks in Modzilla, Amethyst and Youth Quake.

Weird seeing Weiland in a small club across the street from the Verizon Center Arena, where I caught STP just 5 or 6 years ago, but cool joint, with good sound.

I think Joey is still in the band, at least i hope. https://www.facebook.com/ScottWeiland/posts/10152780403170685


My favourite song from blaster might be Hotel Rio.

[rebelhipi]

What do think of the album Happy in Galoshes?

I think its great. Just listened to it again. Songs like Pictures and Computers, Sentimental Halos, Reel Around a Fountain cover, and Blind Confusion. Are one of his best songs.
