Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, both of STP's attempts without Scott Weiland just didn't have staying power but both Talk Show and Army of Anyone are brilliant.
It's somewhat like STP ... because it's the same instrumentalists, with a different and very good singer. BTW, I'm not saying they sound identical. I like both bands for what they offer.
HA! I remember this! That riff rocks! Ahh...the 90s... what a great time for music. Kids these days don't understand how awesome it was to be a teenager in the 90s.
bands of today seemingly don't have the sustainability in their music that bands of "yesteryear" had. i agree with e.i.o.d. that as you get older your tastes change, but at least we have these songs, etc to fall back on and remind us of why we took a certain path in life. by the way, someone said the lead singer would be a hell of a replacement for weiland in velvet revolver if they haven't already found one.
Man I remember this song, I only heard it a few times on MTV Alternative Nation (remember that show?) but I couldn't remember the name of the band. Oh back then, staying up late to watch videos.
here, here, brotha. The music of today sucks ass. But maybe it's because we're getting older and our perceptions and tastes in music reflect that (assuming you're in your mid 20s and up)
Very good album. Definitely worth picking up if you like STP. Dave Coutts actually has a very very good singing voice. A shame the album sold like shit though.
Not sure if my last reply went through, but it appears to be a Danelectro guitar. Both Dean and Robert played a few of those during those years. I'm not sure which model though.
The Deleo brothers are always reinventing themselves with great refreshing progressions. I even love the stuff they did in Anyones army. very unique progressions and arrangements.
How does one get that "twangy sound" that Dean uses? Please PM and tell me what I need. Is it the guitar, the amp, the effects or combination of all three or two?
fantastic songwriting but dave looks like freakin craig kilborn tryin to sing rock music... once again, awesome music written by the deleos and kretz... def holds a spot in my life
Even the Bealtes admitted to using nonsensical lyrics to fill a vocal line, so I'll cut Dave some slack. Saw Talk Show open for Garbage a long time ago. Most people didn't know who they were until the last song morphed into an STP song, then everyone went crazy. You may not like Dave's lyrics, but he can sing his ass off. I agree that he doesn't compare w/ Scott's stage presence but Dave's got a more power voice and range. Would like to know if he's still out there performing.
right on,STP,Army of anyone,Talk Show,Weiland's great but I think it took him to go be a rock star w the Guns guys to realize he had something special with STP.
More for us.They play for money but mostly just to make music so don't feel bad about them not becoming a commercial success.Sometimes it's better for the real fans,like we have something others don't value like us.
Awesome voice, just awesome. No one sang like that in 97, when they came out. When he sings "she" during the pre chorus - dang! Say the list is long, call the missing song..... Excellent job Dave!
I wish I knew what happened to Dave Coutts from the band.I saw Talk Show back in 1997 at the Wallace Civic Center along with the Foo Fighters & I saw them at Providence, Rhode Island.And after the concert at the Wallace Civic Center,both Foo Fighters & Talk Show sign autographs outside for the fans.Talk Show was great in concert.Zebrina
There is a band out of the Detroit area whose singer sings, and even looks a little like Dave. They are called Every Last Day. Of course thay are on myspace. Dave is my favorite. My voca instructor has me working on "Fill The Fields". She says we have a similar voics - I never would have thought that....
some one said that he was one of the best singers along with freddie and steve perry. I have this Cd and I think he even sounds like Freddie Mercury on some songs. I am a huge Queen fan and there are not many people who sound or even have the power Dave has. If you listen to some of the older Queen Cds you can here the similarities. I have both 12 bar blues and Talk show's CD. I like both but I have to say that the Talk show Cd was better. Every song was a good song.
Hell yeah! I've been waiting to see this since it came out!! Dave Coutts is by far my favorite vocalist. A friend of mine, who knows a friend of his is trying to get me in touch with him, I play drums professionally, and would like to do a project with him.
Why can't people take this album for what it was without constantly having to compare front men past and present? This album was great because it is unlike any STP endeavor, it is markedly more playful, lighthearted, and dare I say happy? It is also kick-ass because it showcases all of Dean's vintage guitars and amps. The musicianship and songwriting are also top-notch. Talk Show was simply a cool anomaly in the DeLeo brother musical legacy. Broaden your musical tastes and shed your prejudices.
Yep, I agree totally. I am one of the biggest STP fans ever. I bought the talk show album and loved it too, it was a different band without scott. But it was a good one too!
I think these guys finally got it right when they asked Richard Patrick to front their new band Army Of Anyone. Although...this guy kind of does sound like Patrick?
I could give a shit about Weiland, he does nothing for me vocally, he bores me. Coutts on the other hand is among Freddie Mercury, and Steve Perry as my all time favorite vocalists. I love the 10 inch men disc too.
After a few listens, I realized that there are only THREE good things about this band.
1) Robert DeLeo
2) Dean DeLeo
3) Eric Kretz
THAT IS ALL. Dave Coutts who came from Ten Inch Men was trying so hard to be Weiland. It was such a mistake to record a CD with a replacement lead singer. After listening to this, I'd wanna get sober and back with my band as soon as possible too. "Fractured fairy on the funny page"???
Weiland could fart and it would be better lyrics than that.
First of all dude, you don't have an ex-wife. secondly, Coutts didn't write all of the song, which while way better than Weiland's 12 Bar Blues, wasn't nearly the best song on the album. I would've prefered Talk Show over news of Weiland's continuing drug problems any day. I do wish Kretz was in AoA though.
Scott Weiland's "12 Bar Blues" blows this CD away. This album was overlooked for a reason. It's horrible. Yes, I get it...he's "Weiland's replacement." But it's awful. Compare the sales of Weiland's and Talk Show's CD's. Listen to "Peeling An Orange." Enough said.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, both of STP's attempts without Scott Weiland just didn't have staying power but both Talk Show and Army of Anyone are brilliant.
