If you want to sing like Scott Weiland from Velvet Revolver, there are a few key things to keep in mind.
Weiland was famous for his powerful voice and dynamic stage presence, and learning to emulate his style can take time and practice.
One of the first things to focus on is breathing technique. Weiland was known for taking deep breaths and using his diaphragm to support his voice, allowing him to hit high notes and sustain long phrases.

Another important aspect of Weiland's style is his use of vibrato. He often added a touch of vibrato to his longer notes, giving them a distinctive sound. Singing Carrots' article on singing with vibrato and Beggars Bounce video and Diaphragm Bounce video can help you develop this technique.
Weiland also had a versatile voice that could handle a wide range of styles, from hard rock to ballads. Singing Carrots' article on singing with intuition, skills, emotion, and thinking and Sustain Vocal video can help you build the flexibility and control you need to imitate his style.
When it comes to specific songs, "Fall to Pieces" is a great showcase of Weiland's vocal range and power. "Slither" is another good choice, with its heavier vocal style and dynamic changes in tempo and volume.
Of course, practice is key when it comes to honing your singing skills.
