New Scott Weiland Video - "Missing Cleveland"

thumbnail icon: New Scott Weiland Video - "Missing Cleveland"

Scott Weiland may be Happy In Galoshes, but that doesn't mean he isn't "Missing Cleveland" (and the snow). Whereas the video for the Bowie-esque "Paralysis" had him wandering the outback like Indiana Le Bon and occasionally sucking face with his dark-haired lady friend, "Missing Cleveland"'s all about obsessing over his rocket, dressing up in his astronaut outfit, starting a family, and sucking face with his blond-haired lady friend (this is why he's so into "galoshes"). Don't ever lose sight of your dreams or where you came from, kids.

Happy In Galoshes is out via Softdrive.

The melody is lazy, the verse sounds like Canon in D.

I agree, the song's not the best, but I thought the video was entertaining. I still don't see how the gorilla angel of death fits into the equation, though.

I liked the song and the video. It is great to see Scott clean and creative. People mess up, we all have our regrets and it's time we stop bashing him for his past and give the guy a second chance. Everyone desrves a second chance. Good work Scott!
