'Jeff just handled that the best out of everyone we met with,' DeLeo added. Robert DeLeo continued, complimenting Gutt's grace and professionalism.

'It was like my life was tailor-made for this moment.' 'All those things led me down this path,' Gutt said of his many let-downs before getting the STP job. Now, the band is preparing to release its first new studio album in eight years, titled Stone Temple Pilots. In November of 2017, Gutt was formally introduced as STP's new lead singer. That's a lot to ask of anyone, to be able to do that.'ДЄ year later, Gutt was getting to know his new bandmates, Robert, guitarist Dean DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz, while writing and rehearsing with the band. But you know, I think what we really wanted to focus on too was moving forward and making a new record and new music. You've gotta respect the catalogue and a 30-year of material and a band being together. 'Because you have to be kind of two-sided with things. 'I wouldn't want to be in the position that Jeff's in or anybody like that,' DeLeo said. He liked what he heard and reached out to Gutt's management to have him audition. STP bassist Robert DeLeo told Jericho the band reviewed almost 20,000 submissions from all over the world when an old friend recommended Gutt to him during a Hollywood Vampires meet-and-greet.Дiscouraged by how the search was going, DeLeo promised to check out Gutt. The process of moving on and moving forward with my life and not carrying baggage with me.'ДЄs the singer was trying to decide what to do next, one of Gutt's favorite bands, Stone Temple Pilots, was embarking on an exhaustive search for a new lead singer. It's a process of being able to let all those things go. 'I'm a sensitive guy, so I took it to heart. 'As an artist, you start taking offense to some things eventually on the business side because it's an art form,' he said. Gutt said his X FactorВ mentor Kelly Rowland gave him a lot of advise that he took to heart as he stepped out on his own.

While he didn't win the grand prize, Gutt's time on the show garnered him a large fanbase and gave him the ability to record under his own name and tour. 'The grand prize was a $5 million contract, so I was like, 'Well, of course I'm gonna do that,'' he laughed. Gutt said he had taken a few years away from music, so he figured he'd give himself one last try and take the biggest swing possible for an unknown singer. 'But I'm like, 'What other way to go do it?' Just be like, 'Hey, I'm a singer. This time it is from Jin Virginia Beach.'I had never been a big fan of those shows because people stand in line for a day and they get a shot, whereas I'm doing it for 25 years at that point,' Gutt said. Our review for the latest Kiss вЂOff the SoundboardвЂ™ release is up at. If you want me to take the pictures down, I will do so gladly and go steal them from someone else. The images were all stolen and used only for fun so please donвЂ™t sue me. Scott Weiland is still buried in his grave and no harm was actually brought to his skeleton. Jeff Gutt did not quit the band and is still a thriving member and a great singer and this post no way states that he isnвЂ™t. Jeff Gutt does not think the STP fans are assholes, well except for maybe a handful of you (you know who you are). NOTE: This post is not endorsed in anyway by STP. The band has announced a surprise show for tonight, April 1st 2020вЂ¦That is rightвЂ¦APRIL FOOLвЂ™S!!!! As if you didnвЂ™t know already. He was having trouble getting his bones to move in that old Weiland swagger, but eventually he found his groove.вЂќД«elow, we have an exclusive leaked photo of Weiland on stage all dressed up for rehearsals and he looks greatвЂ¦ДЄnd later in the show, for some reason he takes all his clothes offвЂ¦but he still has the megaphoneвЂ¦ Drummer, Eric Kreitz stated, вЂњIt was really a difficult time for Scott. In the weeks that followed, they worked with ScottвЂ™s skeleton and got him back in to shape for singing. Late one night, they went out to WeilandвЂ™s grave and dug up his bag of bonesвЂ¦ДЄnd for some reason, they stole the headstone too. ThatвЂ™s what your asshole fanвЂ™s want anywayвЂќ. As he quit, he screamed at us.вЂќwhy donвЂ™t you just dig Scott up and let him be your lead singer again. Jeff couldnвЂ™t take the pressure anymore of living in WeilandвЂ™s shadows. The DeLeo brothers statedвЂ¦вЂќIt was actually GuttвЂ™s idea. In a surprise announcement, Stone Temple Pilots lead singer Jeff Gutt quits the band and they replaced him with the late Scott Weiland.
