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.

O Holy Night
Scott Weiland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
And in His Name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name
Christ is the Lord
Their name forever praise we
Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O holy Divine
The song "O Holy Night" by Scott Weiland is a rendition of the classic Christmas carol. The lyrics are a reflection on the night of Jesus' birth and the significance of His arrival. The first verse acknowledges Jesus' birth, the world's state prior to his arrival, and how His coming changed the worth of human souls. The second verse focuses on the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth and the night's sanctity. The chorus repeats "O night divine" three times, with an emphasis on the significance of that miraculous night.
In the third verse, the lyrics reflect on the impact of Jesus' life on humanity. His name has the power to end oppression, and His followers sing joyfully in His honor. The verse ends with a call for all who sing to praise His name. The final chorus repeats "Noel, Noel, O night, O night divine" three times, calling listeners to remember and celebrate the divinity of that special night.
"O Holy Night" was originally written in French as "Cantique de Noël" by Placide Cappeau in 1847. It was later translated into English by John Sullivan Dwight. The carol gained popularity when it was performed during Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve in 1870 in Roquemaure, France.
