I mentioned that week in introducing the Stone Temple Pilots' clip that STP lead singer is now singing for Velvet Revolver. VR is three former members of Guns N' Roses, Scott Weiland from the aforementioned STP, and a guy from Wasted Youth for a (very) little punk cred.
Regardless of ancestry, VR can rock when they put their minds to it. Slash still still play, Scott can still sing.
I like this song, "Slither" in part for the vaguely D/s lyrics, but decent lyrics never saved a bad song. Thankfully "Slither" is a good song.
P. S. engrailed: Still think Scott's hot? In this video, I'm leaning to the "not so much" answer. But your mileage may vary.

YouTube Tuesday: Big Bang Baby
OK, back on track (there is a track -- pay attention!) . . .
The Stone Temple Pilots eventually broke up (supposedly) because lead singer Scott Weiland's heroin problem just became too unmanageable.
Well, Scott is now the lead singer for Velvet Revolver, tyvfm. So either Scott's cleaned up his act (I hope) or Velvet Revolver simply has lower standards where lead singers' drug use is concerned.
Anyway . . . Big Bang Baby is one of My favorites from STP . . . this video is wonderfully low-budget, which fits in nicely with the lyrics oblique portrayal of the flip side of the rock star life.
"Does anybody know how the story really goes, how the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry, but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh"
