Derided by critics early in his career, Weiland was known for his flamboyant and chaotic onstage persona; he was also known for constantly changing his appearance and vocal style, for his use of a megaphone in concerts for vocal effect, and for his battles with substance abuse. Now widely viewed as a talented and versatile vocalist, Weiland has been ranked in the Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists by Hit Parader (No. 57).
In 2012, Weiland formed the backing band The Wildabouts. The band received mixed reviews, and some critics and fans noted Weiland's failing health. In December 2015, Weiland died of an accidental drug overdose on his tour bus in Minnesota at the age of 48. Upon his death, many critics and peers offered re-evaluations of Weiland's life and career; those critics included David Fricke of Rolling Stone and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, who identified Weiland as one of the "voices of the generation" alongside Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley.

I'll Be Home for Christmas
Scott Weiland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
The song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" by Scott Weiland is a heartfelt rendition of the classic Yuletide tune originally sung by Bing Crosby. The lyrics express the longing of a person who is far from home and dear ones during the festive season and dreams of reuniting with them. The opening lines, "I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love, Even more than I usually do" reveal that the singer is missing home more than ever.
The next line, "And although I know it's a long road back, I promise you" suggests that the person is aware of the distance that separates them from their loved ones, yet they are resolved to make it home for Christmas. The chorus, "I'll be home for Christmas, You can count on me, Please have snow and mistletoe, And presents under the tree" conveys the heartfelt promise of the singer to be home for Christmas, no matter how difficult a journey it might be.
The final lines of the song "Christmas Eve will find me, Where the love light beams, I'll be home for Christmas, If only in my dreams” echo a bittersweet sentiment that even if the person can't make it home physically, they will be there in spirit. The song captures the essence of the holiday season perfectly, with its blend of nostalgia, longing, and promise of hope.
