I met Scott Weiland in early 2001 when I worked at Starbucks 3rd & Fairfax. When I handed his drink, I told him. That Tiny Music is my favorite album and that the album is so rock ‘n roll, an instant classic. Weiland’s face lit up with a big smile and he said “ Yeah man thanks!, We worked so hard to get those tones, it’s my favorite album of our too..”after that I mentioned that I heard that STP is recording a new album. Weiland got shocked and asked how do you know. And I told him I heard the rock report on 95.5 KLOS mentioning that they were back in the studio. He said “oh. Yes we are” and that was it. Really nice guy!
Cool rock n roll story, thanks for sharing!
Did he drink black coffee MAN STYLE?
@@mrmisfit635 thank you for reading!
@@anthonymaniacimusic2336 he had a tall caramel macchiato with three shots of espresso and extra caramel.
Wow, thank you for this great story. Weiland was one of my vocal idols (with Chris Cornell). I've read elsewhere that TINY MUSIC was his favorite. I also read that he was really proud of SHANGRI LA-DEE-DA, which is a really strong record too...and that he was really disappointed that it didn't do better. He may have had his problems...but I've heard that he was a really nice man.
Hands down one of the greatest frontmen of Rock. The moves, stage presence and that voice. RIP Scott, gone but not forgotten.
I so agree.
Amen brother 😇
No bout a doubt it my friend. Having gone to a lot of concerts myself throughout the years by many different music artists & genres. I can attest Scott was undoubtedly one of the best front men I've ever seen in the business. At least the majority of his career until his downfall & I seen him for the very last time w/The Wildabouts anyway. But, when Scott was on, he was on. You'd be hard pressed to find another rockstar who commanded the stage & crowd while jammin'. Weiland's on my top-5 singer, front men/women list ever in music. IDGAS what anybody says, it is what it is, period. Let's just keep it a buck here cool? 🤔 +Peace Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friends+ 🤘😜🤘
In your opinion.
Yes!!! Really one of the best concerts ever. Saw them back in the day early 90s on show with UB40! Scott blew me away. Rest in peace sweet soul 💖🕊️💖
I met Scott in ‘94 after their Lakewood amphitheater show in Atlanta. He was the coolest, most gracious guy you could ever meet. He and Layne are my favorite singers of the 90’s.
I can relate to this poor woman when finding out your significant other dies tragically. Thankfully she wasn’t the one who found him which is something nobody should go through… In 2008 I found my wife’s deceased body hanging in the basement and it absolutely ruined me and I’ve never been able to recover!
Just weeks earlier I lost my mom to cancer and both my grandparents. Can anyone say
“WORST YEAR EVER”
Soon after I started using intravenous drugs, I was actively trying to self delete until 2015 when my dad got a fatal diagnosis of lung cancer. I decided to clean up my act and take care of him and I’ve been clean ever since, but I lost everything. Point being I feel this woman’s pain…
RIP Scott Weiland
Sheesh man I feel for ya. I hope things are better. I can’t imagine living through all that
So sorry for your losses, but happy to hear that you are doing better.
So glad to hear you lived through it! Find the One who gives peace that surpasses all understanding, and everything you desire will be yours!
God bless buddy!
May God bless you 🙏
Scott died of a broken heart... A life full of pain... Love you, Scott. Thank you for all the help you've given me and the world.
Unfortunately pain produces the best art. Its even true in my field graphic design.
👍
@Frightcontrol Thanks for sharing champ.
@Frightcontrol Good thing I never claimed they were.
@Frightcontrol Actually you inferred that because thats not what Im implying at all. The only person whining about anything is you and I appreciate that irony.
RIP Scott Weiland 🕊️🌹🙏🏼.
Scott's death was such a major loss to the fans so I could only imagine the pain his wife has endured. One of my All Time Favorite Rock voices ever❤
He's surely missed. Good fans of the real musicians of the 90,s Layne, Chris, Chester and of course SCOTT. RIP.🌕
I just did what I call Guitareoke to Purple last night. The guitar parts are so intriguing. The bass lines off the charts. The Deleo brothers were a masterful writing team. Check out Robert Deleo interview with Rick Beato..
@@youropionmattersnot I totally agree. They were the sound of STP. Robert wrote the majority of their hits. They dealt with Scotts BS for years and years. If you haven't already, check out "Army of Anyone". Deleo brothers side project when STP broke up for a bit.
I seriously can't believe it's been almost 10 years since he left us... I'm glad I got to see him perform
I agree. I saw him twice. Once with STP and once with Velvet Revolver and I am so grateful to have gotten those chances, especially being all the way over here in Ireland. Often bands I like do not play Ireland and it is such great memories I have of him alive and vital and being the iconic frontman he was right before my eyes
Take time with a wounded hand, 'cause it likes to heal
Too bad Scott never took the time to heal. The last year of his life the LAST place he should've been was on the road.😢
@@SuperStrik9true!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very underrated Singer . STP in general is very underrated . They are one of the top rock bands of all time .
My CORE cd is literally warped from the non stop spinning...
Are they underrated or one of the top rock bands of all time?
You have to pick one. Lmfao
I remember STP being absolutely MASSIVE in the 90s and 2000s. Literally everyone I knew was listening to them for years (and many of us still do). They were pretty f-ing far from being "underrated". ...and Scott is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock frontmen of all time.
STP would have been underrated if they remained a small indie band and just sold CDs out of their van after club shows. That's what "underrated" is. They became one of the biggest rock bands ever though. ..and Scott was in _another_ huge band just after that.
Idk why everyone is so obsessed with using that word incorrectly.
It's SO stupid. It's like using the word "hot" to describe the inside of a freezer. Lol
stp was NEVER under rated.
Nobody underrated Scott Weiland man.
Definitely better than Eddie Vedder
Absolutely underrated. Listen to some of his melodies and vocal harmonies, incredible.
The day Scott died I was fortunate enough to be going to see Chris Cornell perform that night in Melbourne, brought some comfort. RIP Scotty ❤️
He was an amazing musician. Years later, I still can't believe he's gone.
...I can't believe he lasted as long as he did...
@@mojoschmee9320 right!
Cornell too
@@Hbizz813 yes.
My first show I went to was an incredible lineup. Disturbed, Godsmack, and STP in North Carolina back in 2000. I've seen Scott perform 4 times with STP and twice with Velvet Revolver. All shows were amazing and I'm so thankful I got to witness such an incredible music legend on stage.
Hey, I had just turned 21 and away at that show! 🎉
Drugs and alcohol will kill you, period.
As a rock guitarist of the 70's I'm lucky to be alive and lost many friends. Living that way is deadly when you never stop the party.
“The road goes on for ever and the party never ends”
Have a good time all the time
Vic Savage
That's cool that you're a guitarist from the 70's...can I ask you who you played with?
Scott was one of the best singers of the 90s bands. He had the voice and the rockstar look to go with it. He should be remembered and revered for his immense talent and accomplishments first and foremost. I saw him with STP and His other band the Wildabouts, his vocals were so powerful and intense.
I have always been in love with Scott's voice,look,his uniqueness..the day I found out he passed I was devastated. I'm still heartbroken at his death. Who cares if if had drugs in his system..loosing Scott was horrible. I've been battling with heroin for 25 yrs..it's heartbreaking.
I remember Dave Mustaine interview about "coaching" Scott when STP just came out and started to rise. Dave said - do anything, coke, girls, alcohol, just DON'T DO ONE THING - don't do heroin 💀
It's the one rule when doing drugs xD
I love how he then said he should have told him to do the opposite because he did the exact opposite of what he told him
touche dont do powders period.
Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands every year! Cigarettes kill hundreds of thousands every year! Even STDs must kill tens of thousands every year. So that is a BS way of living.
@@VicM-xc9zb I remember that. Chuck Negron from 3 Dog Night who was as hardcore of an addict as they come once told Scott that he was gonna die. Scott didn't like that and in the interview with Chuck that I saw/heard on RUclips he said that he'd never say that to a fellow addict again because a lot of people don't or can't handle hearing it.
That is true. Opiate overdose was ruled the cause of death for both my parents (meds predcrubed from a previous car accident), simply because they were in their systems. My dad was awake and speaking when he drown in his own lung fluid). Yet death was stated as an overdose. Its too bad she had to clarify that, and glad she got it out there. Seems like a wonderful loving wife to me.
His contribution to rock is massive and definitely under appreciated, STP was a huge gateway band for a lot of us
Totally in agreement. Scott needs to be mentioned MUCH MUCH more often. He is one of the greatest vocalists, artists, songwriters in rock, like Chris, like Chester.. sadly he died in a really heartbreaking 6 month span when we lost Lemmy, David Bowie, Prince.. & others. I think because of his legal issues, addiction & mental illness struggles people just gloss over him & don't give him the credit he deserves. I'm not saying he should be treated as some saint... but I struggle with my own demons so I refuse to judge.. but he is iconic & a rock legend. I miss him alot. He & Jani Lane aren't beloved enough.
Weiland was a true ROCKSTAR and now a Legend...His vocals and captivating moves can never be replicated. Rest in Paradise Scott. Miss you.🤘💓
It's funny how the term legend is used when someone who has a family prefers to check out instead of step up. I always thought legends were those who endured the hard times and fought hard to survive.
But then again, the world is upside down these days...
@jasonl1942 Your reply is none of my business. Reflect upon yourself...
@@susanscharch5562 as is your retort is worthless as I didn't ask for it, and here we are.
Those Velvet Revolver songs are crazy good
I’ve been listening to their first record a lot lately. Solid.
@@charlesrocks I was lucky enough to see Velvet Revolver at the now defunct VooDoo Experience in New Orleans. Within 10 minutes of being on stage Slash, Duff and Scott were shirtless!🤘🏻🤘🏻 It was very rock n roll!
@@celiekrown1718I never based a concert on whether the musicians took their shirts off.
@@denniswinters2541 I see
@@denniswinters2541oh so your more of a pants off, than shirt off kind of guy. That's whatsup
He was an amazing singer❤
To this very day, I Fall to Pieces, still makes me cry,and seeing the video.. forget about it.😢
I'll never stop missing Scott. Never seeing him on stage again is such a tragedy.
His Rolling Stones interview about drugs was one of the best out there. Fascinating!
@@RobertDoolin-sy4ie Yeah! He said he absolutely proved to himself that there is life after death! Did you even read it, bro?
@@RobertDoolin-sy4ie I just hope he's right!
Scott was one of my favorite singers and a helluva front man! R.i.P. scott!!!! Every interview I've seen about others talking about him was he was the nicest guy you could meet.
He was mine too. The group is my favorite, still at 50 years old.
I got to see him live twice. He was incredible. I've seen the band with Chester and the new permanent guy and they are still great live but sadly... it will never be the same as it was with Scott. That guy got on stage, flipped the switch and BOOM!
The new guy is Jeff Gutt. He’s great!
@@ZVvereVvolf I've seen countless bands perform and Scott whether STP or VR when he "flipped that switch" NO ONE CAN TOUCH HIM!
@@ChristianMarshall-t7i Agreed!
RIP Scott ❤ whenever I listen to his songs I'm blown away at how they are composed, he was an absolutely brilliant song writer!
His death truly was devastating. I saw STP on the purple tour at William and Mary college in Virginia. Meat Puppets opened for them. Man what a fantastic show and time I had that night. RIP Scott, you’re missed brother.
STP & Meat Puppets would’ve been amazing
Was Jawbox playing with them also?
@@palehorse1111 I do believe so!! Been awhile back but I think you’re right!
@@themadbassist Awesome! Your lucky, I was too young to go see any concerts unfortunately and thats one I would have loved to see.
@@palehorse1111 It was great 👍 I even crowd surfed haha 😂 Scott was looking right at me while I was making my approach. I yelled “Scotttttt” They were playing “Wicked Garden!”
Core was the first cassette i ever bought .. Saw him many times live first time in 2001 at Rolling Rock... He was such a front man legend RIP brotha
YT videos of Rolling Rock show was insane. He was like a man possessed. An incredible presence on stage.
RIP Scott Weiland🙏
Going to see STP this summer and I am so excited! Obviously we all miss Scott but Jeff is doing a great job being the frontman and those songs deserve to be played live! RIP Scott ♥️
Scott will never be replaced, but I followed Jeff Gutt since I first started listening to rock and metal back in 2002, he was the singer for this teen nu-metal band called Dry Cell and back then you could hear the power in his voice. I think STP should allow him to exploit his upper range a little more. They are both fantastic and I am grateful to have heard them both.
That's not STP
@@capnphuktard5445 Oh kick rocks. Idgaf what you think lmao
When you abuse yourself for decades at some point your body eventually gives up
True, and that's what takes out many rockers of advanced age who don't OD, sadly.
@@ImYourOverlord Unless you're Keith Richards or Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy has some pretty serious health issues now but he should have realistically died in the 80s judging by what he put his body through
@@getpeaveymaced He's still battling it on
Same with what happened to Elvis. Years and years of abusing his body caught up with him.
The same way a lot of professional wrestlers die in their 40s. Nearly 50 years old living in a tour bus with ~30 years of hard living in the rearview mirror
rip Scott weiland🕊️❤
I got to see STP at the Mann in Philly when they 1st toured for Core. Scott was amazing, had the megaphone, pink/red hair, and had the crowd rocking. Still love that album to this day.
Such a great band that transcended all genres during their time and was appreciated by every kind of music fan possible.
They were so much more than just their hits and had solid albums from beginning to end. Live, don’t you forget about it, they had it all.
It’s just so sad that we will never hear that version of the band live ever again.
RIP Scott and thanks for all the great songs.
Saw Weiland at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ with my wife when he was a solo artist . The show was inside the club so it was a very intimate atmosphere with not many people in the audience.
My wife and I were a few feet away from him & got some great photos.
I'm glad I got to see him live even if I wasn't much of a fan of his solo stuff.
I seen him in concert a couple months before he died. He looked good and had some weight. He looked healthy. At the end of the concert people in the front went up to the stage and Scott and the bassist greeted us and shook hands. He was such a great singer and kind soul. It was the best concert I ever been to and the only one where the band shook hands and talked to fans. It was a sad sad day when Scott passed away. I miss him and his music. Rip Scott. See you on the other side brother!
Been listening to Velvet Revolver's Contraband. I forgot how good that album is. His melodies were perfect.
I got to see his last tour in Lexington KY and he was awesome! Full of energy and his voice was so powerful. He made jokes and interacted with the audience. It was great. He didn't seem intoxicated at all.
RIP buddy. Thanks for all the inspiring songs, influence and motivation. I will continue to represent the 90s in my music 🎶🙏🏼🙏🏼
I seen him with my dad front row in 2010 one of the best memories I have RIP Scott 😢
His band actually had the day off in my hometown the night before he died, and they went into the bar/restaurant where one of my best friends bartended for dinner and drinks. He got scotts last autograph from when he signed his credit card slip. Its a pretty crazy story.
That's wild.
Lets hear the story!
Bloomington, Minnesota and his motor coach was parked next to Friday's.
I saw him in a small concert at a casino in Arizona not far from the day he passed. Great singer. I hope he knew the Lord.
He passed away a few miles from my home, such a bummer!
Same for me with Chris Cornell
I was just telling my friend how especially talented Scott was, probably as you were uploading this! His music was SO original! Ppl tried to say he was copying others but they have no clue about music! When i got the guitar tabs for Tiny Music i was blown away 😃
I just saw him perform last year in October in Sacramento, California at the aftershock festival… He looked good performed well, and was a pleasure to experience! This is so tragic… I’m so glad I got to see him :-(
My bad, not him.
I was lucky enough to see a show at our small venue in Reading PA. He was sober and amazing over 2 hours all their hits. This was when STP got back together!!
Passed away in Minnesota. Rest in peace.
RIP Scott 🖤
I saw him at Jim Thorpe PA, we drove 8 hrs to get there he was trashed,I absolutely love him and his music ,I cried when 1 week later he passed , but he definitely was on something when I saw him
Scott was a true artist and performer in every sense ✌️💚
I was a good friend with Scott before his band broke.He was a good normal guy and had a good heart at the time .i was in a band called sugartooth at the time we toured with stp and that’s when I saw a major change in him .Its sad How he ended up
So sad and tragic. My condolences to Jamie and all of their family. It's been many years but I don't imagine it ever gets any easier. I hope he's at peace.😞
Saw STP in 99 at Hershey Pavillion. Scott's stage presence was like nothing else. The band was great. Best concert I've ever seen.
What a great front man rip 🙏
I am from Serbia 🇷🇸 and i love Scott as a singer,frontman and all that,love his stuff with Stp&Velvet Revolver,true love for him.
I’ve always respected Scott as an amazing singer songwriter. He was a gem in my book. There was a time you couldn’t turn the radio on without hearing an STP song. The literally wrote the sound track to the 90s and early 2000’s. RIP Scott Weiland .
So underrated, his voice was phenomenal. His live performances sounded better than his recorded ones. A shame and a big loss.
He was an amazing gifted singer
The bar he stopped at in Elmhurst the night before he passed.Mack's Golden Pheasant, Is near my hometown. You can go sit in seat he sat that night. As it's marked. Even a picture in bar. 😢
The doors with him and others guest appearances was so good
The Howard Stern interview with Scott, last interview, was the most revealing interview of Scott I’ve ever seen
Being a major fan for many years I finally had passes to meet him backstage in Medina MN. To wake up and feel excited for that day just to read he died on his bus, I'm still affected by it. Whenever I drive past the spot he died I get an unexplainable feeling but comforting like he's doing great and doesnt want anyone to feel sad
I saw Scott Weiland in concert several times over the years, was a huge fan since Core. Amazing singer, artist, performer... I agree he never got the recognition and respect that he deserved.
RIP Scott...
Wow. Thank you so much for speaking about Scott's death. This clears up so much for all us who have been wondering and suspecting there was alot more behind his death than what had been revealed up to now.
This makes me feel even sadder, that magical voice cant be replaced. Truly a massive talent lost. At least we have the records to remember him. I feel bad for his family. His stage presence was awesome. Scott Weiland, gone but never forgotten.
Yeah he never got the deserved respect for his song writing but we couldn't deny his god given voice
It’s always so bleak & heartbreaking when any type of drugs are in the picture. No matter how much you love somebody it will never be enough to stop them. Rip Scott
idk man, every fb thread I have ever seen always brings up Scott as one of the very best lead singers and performers in rock history, which I completely agree! the '94 show I saw was like being INSIDE of an MTV Rock video for STP, best rock performance I have ever seen from any band, not only his voice and song writing but his stage presence was EVERYTHING!!! May you Rest In Peace Scott Weiland I still cry over his passing at least once a month, and I am in tears rn watching this video
Talk about technicality. “Actually, he didn’t die from a car crash. He died because of the blood loss from loosing both legs.”
Scott Weiland was my role model and idol. I tried being like him in my band and loved every minute of it ❤ I love and miss you Scott and thank you for your music and influence to me and the rock industry. You will forever be remembered for the best front man to ever grace a stage.
Weiland has always been a favorite of mine. Rest easy, brother.
They should have pulled him off that last tour…. He was a wreck!
Over the years, I saw STP 5 times and after David Lee Roth, Weiland was the best front man I'd ever seen. RIP Crackerman.
I had to go to a recording studio in Atlanta in Dec. 2005 and remember seeing all of these gold and platinum records through the hall...several were Stone Temple Pilot Albums. I never knew they recorded in Atlanta...just that they had a song called "Atlanta". They will never know how much their music helped me during my early 20's.
One of the best bands out of the 90's. Their albums were always a journey. The Deleo brothers wax poetic about how important Scott's lyrics were to the band.
I can only pray he is at peace now, love you Scott
I consider Scott on of the great great singers of all time, his range in vocal tones was unbelievable, he could rock out with STP, and then do the same with Velvet Revolver , and sing a ballad with the sweetest voice. I also heard him on a Howard Stern interview, that he was sexually abused I believe by his Uncle, when he was a kid, now that can explains a lot of his emotional personal pain. God rest his soul.
the first two STP albums were basically perfect and the rest of them were too, Weiland really knew how to pack the songs with hooks and really underrated lyrics I mean Wicked Garden is a masterpiece song and that's just one of their masterpieces
Scott is easily one of the best frontmen that lasted past the 2000s.. Since then no one has had his stage presence. Hes a legend.
Well done video! I was just talking to a buddy about a week ago about his passing. A true rock legend 🤘😈😇🙏 we love you Scott
Duff and the boys in Velvet Revolver really helped pick Scott up. He was trying to get better and surrounded himself with ppl who actually cared about him. Tragic. Always punch up, you'll save lives.
Love STP!
STP will always be a fav from the 90's. They take me back everytime. He made his mark. However, it was his wife who said not to tribute him. No tshirts, no memorial because he was just a junkie.
He died from living the rockstar lifestyle for over 30 years. The drug and alcohol abuse he endured was the sole reason he died prematurely. This is not rocket science
Thank you for the state funded response. May God Bless you and your family. Prayers of healing and peace and Truth coming your way.
He went with few regrets I would think. The last true Rock Star in my opinion.
@@scottbivins4051 he was awesome. Saw STP in 96 like four rows from the stage. They kicked ass
@@xprettylightsx What’s interesting about (you people) & your alcoholism is that just a few years before the infamous potato famine, Ireland was the site of a massively successful temperance campaign led by the noted Catholic priest, Theobald Mathew. So successful was this campaign that between 1838 and 1841, their national alcohol consumption was cut in half.
wasnt Slash pissed off most of the time when Scott came to Velvet Revolvers rehearsals?he would either looked strunged out or twitchy needing some heroine!but when he was in a good state and could sing... He really rocked!
Scott Weiland was IMO a top 5 Rock frontman of all time because he could do any genre of music.
Absolutely deserves respect when it comes to his career. He was a freakin unicorn. Different eras or different bands, he always brought something new & exciting to the table. His stage presence alone was worth the ticket of admission because you had no real idea on what he would do. Definitely, by default, one of my personal favorite rock singers.
Thanks for clearing up his name here a good bit. I hope hes at peace wherever he is. He's missed
Poor guy he was in such a dark place in his life when he died his body went through so much physically and emotionally that he spent his last moments feeling alone.
He was one of the most talented musicians out there, and I remember when I first heard about his . was crushed. His music has gotten me through the most difficult times in my life and till this day it still saddens me that he's gone. I can relate so much . I feel like if would have taken a break and much needed healing he would still be alive today.
Scott is my cousin from my grandmother's side of the family. The night before the morning he passed away I had just gotten off work don't know why but I sat down on the couch listening to a couple of his albums before going to sleep only to wake up and hear my cousin had passed away. Goes to show you there is an energy connection between us all, especially with family.
❤
I listened to no 4 the night he overdosed. I was on benzos and booze myself back then.
Scott's voice was unique and raw as was the bands unique sound and so many great poetic songs that are timeless masterpieces. I remember listening to them in the 90s very well and still do 30 years on. Sad loss to music and of course his family and fans.
The GOAT 🐐 The last great Rock N Roll Frontman. Love you Scott!
Back in 92’ or 93’ my friends and I were always rockin’ out to ‘Core’, we wore that album out! Rip Scott Weiland🙏
HE DIDN’T OVERDOSE.. HE JUST DIED FROM BEING OVERDOSED!!
Weiland,Cornell,and Stayley. All gone too soon. All amazing.
"Hold on till the end, like it's the last hello. Whirlwiinds and rollercoasters, long grass making shapes, hello." -RIP Scott
I saw STP back in the day ….. I was so messed up I nodded off while they were playing……. Those lullabies had me in heaven. Thank you Scott for all your beautiful words
I got to see them live twice & it was so freaking amazing!!! Rolling Rock Town Faire 2.0 in 2001 (you can watch their set on RUclips) & at Merriweather Post Pavilion in 2009. One of my all-time favorite bands! R.I.P. Scott.
It was never a case of if, but when. STP was huge in the early 90s. You couldnt turn on a radio without hearing them. That summer I was living with my future wife and STP and the Seattle movement was the soundtrack to our lives.
