Noah Weiland, son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, shared his thoughts about rock fans’ expectations in a recent video on YouTube.
“Because of who my dad is, people can’t really see that [I’m a good artist too] and want me to just be redoing the same sh*t that’s already been done,” Noah said. “It’s a new generation. The people that my age and younger like they’re not listening Stone Temple Pilots.”
“I’m trying to get my own fan base, and I really want to just be for the youth,” he continued. “That’s why I don’t care when there’s all these rumors and sh*t like hating on me the old heads.”
Noah has been actively working to establish his own unique identity in the music industry while acknowledging his father’s legacy.
Consequence reported Noah’s recent artistic venture. He released a stripped-down cover of Stone Temple Pilots’ ‘Sex Type Thing.’ The release included a VHS-style music video that presents a fresh interpretation of his father’s work.
The young artist’s musical journey has evolved beyond rock covers. Consequence revealed his upcoming debut album ‘Call Jesus’ will be released in 2025. His alt-pop single ‘2 Nights’ previews the contemporary sound direction of the album.
Noah started his career in Suspect208, a band featuring children of famous musicians. He later chose to move away from this rock foundation to create his own path in the industry.
His recent musical choices and statements demonstrate his determination to establish an independent identity. He maintains respect for his father’s legacy while pursuing his own artistic vision.
