A bit off-topic, but I just discovered an acoustic concert at Youtube performed last year. Really good sound quality and a good performance by Bumblefoot and the other musicians (some nice guitar improvising here and there). I especially found Overcome (00:31:28) and One (00:47:10) to be very well done.

Here's a new interview:

the twitter video he showed for the music video is different than the one that was leaked. interesting.

Here's a new interview where he briefly talks about the new album.

So he's branching out to other genres?

New acoustic performance. His voice sounds strong and clear. Plus he played two new songs. I'm really liking 'Name'.

That new song is beautiful. It's very poignant, and I hope the studio version will have fitting arrangements (I get a Chris Cornell vibe out of it)
The weird thing thing is that he and his oldest son are now estranged (or at least they were a year ago), but that's another story...

It also made me realize both Sscott and Myles don't use the name of their biological father. How uncanny is that?

Name is great, wow. I can't wait to hear the studio version. I really love that song.

I had wondered why I never see Scott talk about Jagger anymore, hate to see them so strained. Was it about the drug issues from 2014?

I loved that song. I thought it was an old school sounding stapp song, which is great. I too don't know my biological father, so I can connect to this song. It was very well done.

I love Name. I could hear Chris Cornell singing it. Strong and clear voice from Scott. Back up vocal is sad though but it's okay I am just happy to hear the new songs. Nothing wrong with Scott doing some country. Weathered and Full Circle got country vibe too and they were great.

@Micky: Jagger wrote some sour messages about his father on Twitter last year, when Art of Anarchy sued him for 1.2 million dollars. He basically mocked him for being sued for more than his actual networth...

Only they know what happened, so I won't speculate, but I doubt it has anything to do with the 2014 meltdown, since they were seen on photos together in 2015.
The weird thing is that he started growing his hair last year, and he looked just like his dad. I haven't checked his Twitter account since then, so I don't know if they're still estranged.

Back to music: Stapp sounded great on My Sacrifice, but it's one of those songs where he always manages to sound good.

Well I remember some posts of Jagger regarding Stapp's breakdown back then. He basically said that his dad made an ass out of himself. I suppose that this period at least did not improve their father-son bond.

I cant seem to find jaggers twitter account. I see one that has the name but it only has posts from 2015. From articles around the mental breakdown, jagger tweeted something like "once again my father has chosen drugs over family". I see an old reddit account too.

It may not be that they're estranged, just perhaps that he doesn't want to be a celebrity and wants a more private life so that's why you never see or hear of him. It's probably difficult to have a serious professional career when everyone only knows you for your dads successes and failures.

Anyways, Name should itself be a single. it's better than PfP. I'm glad stapp isn't going the country route, seems like it would be the lazy way out; unless he went for a johnny cash vibe.

the official music video for pfp should be out tomorrow. might be a little cringe

Official Video:



It's basically the previously discovered performance video but with additional "story" segments spliced in.

yeah it was cringe like i thought it would be. the child segments were pointless

Nah, I've seen much worse videos. It's okay, surely no masterpiece but absolutely bearable.

His slow suicide video was way better. It told his life story pretty well

That last scene on the mountain surely was a reference to the With Arms Wide Open video.

A couple of new interviews :
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/scott- ... -and-kids/

The second one is actually the beginning of the Rock 104.5 interview.

I also doubt he talked to Mark a couple of months ago. Even a couple of years ago seems far-fetched at this point.

Well, they are on the same label. So I wouldn't say it's too far-fetched.
