Friday night’s performance of Depeche Mode’s “But Not Tonight” on Kimmel’s show came just days after Weiland picked up some unfavorable reviews on a New York city concert earlier in the week.
The Wall Street Journal declared the Gramercy theatre show a disaster, with Weiland hitting the stage 90 minutes later than scheduled, to a vocally unpleasant crowd.
The Tuesday night gig took place after only two days of rehearsals with a new backing band, which resulted in the show’s setlist containing nothing but covers, including songs by David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Radiohead and others.
