First Time hearing Velvet Revolver. Scott Weiland and Slash leave me in pieces!

This song is a hard pill to swallow after Scotts passing. The clip and the music are a haunting depiction of addicton to drugs and alcohol. RIP Scott, your voice and memory goes on.

Weiland didn't get enough credit for this masterpiece of a song.

I quit drinking recently because it nearly killed me. My liver started failing and I couldn't urinate. I spent three days in the hospital. After that I was making monthly visits to the hospital after bingeing so I could get ativan so it could ease my hangovers. They were getting so bad I was getting very scared I was on my way out. I checked myself into rehab, and I'll be at 90 days sober tomorrow. The lyrics to this song are so incredibly real to an addict.

Velvet revolver is so special in how slash’s guitar is basically it’s own voice singing along with Scott’s

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS - "Sour Girl" SOMEBODY has to react to this song. The thing with Weiland was, he had like 3 or 4 very distinct singing voices. From song to song, year to year, you might not even think it was the same guy if you didn't know better. It was incredible.

Duff McKagen is one my favorite Bassists. His sense of counter melody is incredible, and his tone is gorgeous. ♥️
I was fortunate to see this group, before Scott relapsed, and it was awesome! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

So many of these videos are heart-wrenching in retrospective, we sang along with Scott, Lane, and Chester’s tortured cries for help and then seemed shocked when they finally succumb to their vices.

I relapsed on drugs and alcohol in the summer of 2021.Shame kept me from interacting with anyone in person so my friendships were all online. Isolation is the one thing I think most all addicts can relate to. June 6th of 2022 I entered the Life Recovery Program at the Union Gospel Mission and have been clean for 2 years 9 days. I am now a peer counselor and work with others that struggle with addiction. This song is a reminder for me, how things were and where I never want to go again.

Very sad day when Scott passed away, the beautiful thing is, we have music like this to remind us of the magnificent talent and voice that he had, Velvet Revolver is a great side project, does not get enough recognition in my opinion #RIP SCOTT 🌹🌹❤️❤️

Two different voices singing the same song. Scott's vocals and Slash's guitar. Beautiful ❤

"Make music your medicine" is 1000% a shirt I would wear.

I think what made me happiest about this is just how kind you are Elizabeth, the world needs more people caring, thank you.

Great song - strong message and meaning. Velvet Revolver took forever to get off the ground even after they found Scott to sing. He had a real problem with substance abuse which is reflected through images in the video. Slash and Duff have spoken over the years about how hard it was to watch Scott struggle.

Such heart wrenching song! With Scott's voice riding a ragged emotional edge and Slash's fantastic tone, it's inevitable that the tears will flow!

Scott was an incredible singer and songwriter. Even though he was a prominent figure in the 90’s rock scene I still don’t think he gets enough credit for his work. People always talk about Cornell, Staley, and Veder during that era. Rarely do you hear mention of Scott. Weiland was right there with them. RIP legend

Their best song IMO. Slash’s guitar sound is just golden here. Scott’s voice is incredible and you can tell how personal the lyrics are to him.

The members of Velvet Revolver had been through wild bouts of drug addiction and alcoholism which in many ways were the byproduct of the rock stardom they experienced with their previous bands (Scott Weiland was ex-Stone Temple Pilots; Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum were in Guns N' Roses).
"Fall to Pieces" relates to their tribulations, specifically those of Weiland, who wrote the lyric. He said the song deals with two issues:
1) Coming to terms with his heroin addiction.
2) His relationship with his second wife, Mary, which was falling apart.
In both cases, Weiland felt like he was "falling to pieces."

One thing I’ve always loved about this is how Duff’s bass isn’t so much a separate part, but an extension of the guitar parts Dave and Slash are playing. Almost like the left and right hands in a piano concerto by Bach or Chopin. It compliments Scotts voice so perfectly.

Masterpiece of music & imagery. Being 13yrs sober from alcohol myself, this song reminds me to never fight addiction alone. R.I.P Scott💜

Scott made it to 48, which is something of a miracle. He was a man who was not likely to make it to 30. He was on the Howard Stern show one time and just picked up a gas mask and put it on to start a song, and it was just epic. What a performer. RIP
