In a statement to Rolling Stone, the band members say, “Recently the three of us sat down together to share our memories of Scott and take a moment to reflect on the amazing times we shared. We put the master up of a song called ‘Atlanta’ from the No. 4 record that we feel really highlights the true brilliance of Scott. We would like to share it with you.” In the video, the three of them sit and listen, offering somber commentary on the song, all of them marveling at what Weiland did on it. Check it out below.
