Noah Weiland Releases Tribute Cover of Father's 'Sex Type Thing'

Noah Weiland, son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, has released a poignant acoustic cover of his father's band's classic song 'Sex Type Thing,' originally from their 1993 debut album, Core. Accompanied by a music video featuring a Chucky doll representing his father, Noah reflects on loss and legacy, expressing sentiments about their connection through captions throughout the video. He shared that the project was inspired by a dream of reuniting with his father, highlighting both the challenges of grief and his desire to carry on his father's legacy. This release marks Noah's first track of 2025, following a series of singles in the previous year, including 'Time Will Tell,' which featured unreleased vocals from Scott and was released amidst a blackmail threat. Noah has consistently refuted assumptions of privilege, emphasizing the financial struggles his family faced after his father's passing. In his journey to carve his own musical path, he aims to establish a career independent of his father's legacy.
