Late Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland originally released his final song “Back to the City” just a month or so before his death in fall 2015 on the Blaster app. Due to the nature of the song only being available on the app (which is no longer available), only a low quality rip of the song has been available for most fans to hear. Former studio and occasional live Wildabouts drummer Mike Avenaim has now released a video featuring a higher quality version of the track, and explained the backstory behind the song. It is the only song Scott Weiland recorded in 2015, as Blaster was finished near the end of 2014.
Avenaim wrote on YouTube, “In February of 2015, right before the Wildabouts album “Blaster” was released… Scott Weiland, Jeremy Brown, Tommy Black and myself wrote and recorded one last song together. This song did not make the album. However, I decided everyone should get a chance to hear how great it was. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it with these amazing musicians.”
