I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.
Stone Temple Pilots would go on to become one of the biggest bands of the 90’s. Despite the fact that critics never gave them their due, The band would rise to superstordom with their debut album 1992’s Core which spawned several huge singles with Plush, Sex Type Thing and Creep. They followed that up with the release of 1994’s Purple which produced another two huge singles with Interstate Love Song, Big Empty and Vasoline and Unglued which was never released as an official single, but charted. By the mid 90’s, Weiland drug addiction threatened the existence of the band as his substance problem was made public when he was arrested in 1995 during a drug bust. Lucky for him he avoided jail after agreeing to to enter rehab telling Rolling Stone . "I am in the process of getting sober," "I want to be happy again, and I'm going to do something about it before it kills me or f’s up everything in my life." It came out years later that the band almost fired Weiland in 1994 and replaced him with singer Dave Coutts
The band would take a break during the mid 90’s before reconvening for 1996’s Tiny Music, songs from the vatican gift shop. A stark change in sound showing more glam and psychadelic influences would winn over some critics in the process while producing several big singles with big bang baby, lady picture show and trippin on a hole in a paper heart.. But, Weiland’s inability to stay sober resulted in the band only touring for a short period of time to support the album including losing out the opportunity to open for Kiss, which other alternative band Alice in Chains filled in for. It was ironic that Alice in Chain was in the same boat only playing a handful of shows the same year.. STP would soon cancel their own headlining dates as well.. Guitarist Dean Deleo would tell Rolling Stone in 1997 "Scott called and said, 'I'm fing up - I need help, When I talked to him, I could hear his condition. He said, 'I'm going into treatment.' I said, 'I'd love to believe that.' And on Monday, he checked himself in."
By early 1997 Weiland’s bandmates once again hooked up with singer Dave Coutts but formed the side project Talk Show. which I’ve done a whole video on the link is down below. Weiland in the meantime would go on to release his first solo record 12 bar blues.. Weiland would be arrested again in 1998 for possession forcing him to cancel his tour dates for his solo album.
By 1999 Weiland was in trouble again being arrested and Under California's "three strikes" law, this meant a mandatory prison stint. He would be sentanced to 12 months in prison, but would only serve 4. Around this time he would tell Rolling Stone "I felt I was achieving something after I had been there a month and a half," he said. "They say that in order for [sobriety] to work, you have to surrender. It happened over a period of time, being locked down, dealing with fear of the unknown. But once I surrendered, stopped trying to control everything, I started getting peace of mind."
By 1999 the band reassembled and put out their follow up record No. 4 which gave the band their biggest single with sour girl.
The band would return in 2001 releasing their final album with Weiland for the time being with Shangri La Dee Da. According to MTV the album sensions were tension filled as Weiland became addicted to pain medication. Tensions between the band members escalated to the point that the last gig of the tour in 2002 saw a fight breakout backstage between Scott Weiland and guitarist Dean Deleo. While the band wouldn’t officially announce their breakup it soon came out that Weiland had left the group. Some reports claim he was fired while others claimed he walked away. He would end up joining supergroup Velvet revolver who I’ve done a whole video on. The link is down below. Weiland would tell Howard Stern in 2004 how during the making of the first Velvet Revolver studio the deleo brothers were in the studio next door working on an alien ant farm album and they seemed to have made amends with each other.
By 2007-2008 rumors were abound about a stone temple pilots reunion. According to Velvet Revolver’s duff mckagan, Weiland intiially hid the reunion from his bandmates creating tension within the band. Weila
Drug addiction is no laughing matter, God rest his soul.
The man was an amazing vocalist. Real sad his deamons ultimately killed him. Same could be said about Layne.
@Christopher Bingham Dennis Danell had a brain aneurysm i thought? Mike Ness wrote Dont Take Me For Granted for him. He was the only other than Mike Ness to be there at the start when the Agnew brothers where in Social D in 79
@Christopher Bingham No i think you are partially right. It coulda been caused by past drug use. Its ok. Wasnt trying to be a dick. Im just glad you know who Social D is and who the other guitarist besides Mike Ness was.
@Christopher Bingham Me too. I dont get. I was with my sons mom. She was 6 months pregnant. We were the youngest people at the show in our mid 20s at the time. He opened with Let it Be Me. A motherfuckin love song and all these 40 and 50 year old dudes started moshing. Yea its weird its alot of dudes middle aged or older which im not dogging them there i am close but middle aged dudes dressed like greasers(sick boys) but badly acting all badass. And then you got the scenester chicks..... But yep they are my favorite band too. Scott Weiland was a big fan too
@Christopher Bingham yep. He was a teen in Orange County in the 80s. He said 15 thru 17 he was ar a social d show every weekend. In his ex's book she said after stp made it big they went to a social d show in nyc and scott was just a fan. Thought that was cool. Social D is my favorite and ScotTP is my second
Yup, its difficult
People always refer to the "big four" of the nineties being Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. While I love all those bands, I feel like STP was underrated in comparison. They were a fantastic force that definitely helped to define the nineties musically and culturally. Also the guitar work is very unique all things considered. Just an overall awesome band. R.I.P. Scott.
Not to me. I'd put stp as the 2nd best band from the 90s after pearl jam.
The big four were all hits by 91 and changed what was being played on mtv and lead to bands like stp, the guitar player for stp the best
I agree! I love STP so much more than Pearl Jam or Nirvana!
I never care what they say about the Top bands- that’s just someone’s opinion. STP & Bush we’re right up there 👍
Stp just wasn't from Seattle. The other 4 were
Those Riffs from STP was by far the best of the 'grunge' bands.
"Riffs"
@FAT COUNTRY u are the 1st person I have seen reference Tad..Such an awesome band.Def better "riffs" than STP or Nirvana.
@FAT COUNTRY I haven't heard any of their music in YEARS..Actually forgot about them till a couple of days ago they randomly popped in my head
@FAT COUNTRY I love the tad song about taking the truck out on the ice and breaking through it LOL I forget the name of the song but it’s freakin great! WE GOIN THROUGH THE ICE
@FAT COUNTRY ah man I’m gonna have to jam that song out today. I love it. I remember reading about the troubles they had with Pepsi over that song. Freakin hilarious lol
The Album Purple is one of my fav rock albums ever!!
One of the greatest songwriters in rock history. R.I.P. Scott
Hard to say that drug's abuse is the reason why many great singers ruined themselves and their careers. Scott was one of the greatest voices in Rock. What a shame
Drugs didn't ruin his life, it's whatever made him want to do the drugs that ruined him. Same as everyone else. 😕
@@zer0deaths862 yeah but in the end it's the drugs that kill you
He was awsome
@@theladieschains2
Agreed.
But tbf he wasn't saying the drugs didn't KILL him, he said it wasn't the drugs that RUINED his life.
(sorry for the CAPS. Man I wish there was an italics button 🤣)
@@JaniceTZ I understand but it's not always some deep seeded demon that makes people use, sometimes it's just an addictive personality, I think Kurt Cobain or Layne Staley would be the ones who used because of deep depression and demons, Scott was more wild like a Jim Morrison type so he's not wrong, just my opinion
I got to see them after he sobered up for a bit and it was F'n amazing. Like a childhood dream type thing.
I saw them at the Aftershock 2012 festival and word was that Scott was just outta rehab... the band sounded great, Scott sounded worn and tired 🙁 ...yiu could see the band flashing glances at eachother, some deep wounds there
@@Frip36 ill have to check that out, never heard it.... yea, the crowd was really torn on them too, half of them left, a quarter just stood there, and i lost my freakin mind, i've been bumpin those tunes since the 8th grade! All things considered, It really was a great moment 😁😁
Great episode. S.T.P. one of my favorite bands. Scott one of the best singers.
Without watching the video yet I am going to take a "wild" guess and say it's going to have something to do with drugs....
I see what you did there haha, Wildabouts reference?
Tiny Music was the most underrated album of the 1990’s.
I told you 5 or 4 times.....
@@MrRich6505 sell your soul and sign an autograph
@@ndhickson3599 , the song talking about his pact with the devil.
RIP Scott. Your music brings me so much joy. Thank you to you and the band.
The DeLeo brothers wrote some amazing music, and Scott was such a great vocalist. I'm bummed I never got to see them live, just like Alice In Chains. As an addict myself (9 years clean) the music of both bands really means a lot to me.
@Christopher Bingham 1: AIC ....just no. Jerry should have started a new band. That shit is not Alice in Chains. It's ok, but it's just not Alice in Chains.
2: I live in the deepest south west of western Australia. STP are never coming here. And I would also argue that they should have started a new band.
@Christopher Bingham which is well within their rights, it's their band.and their business. I'm just not gonna go see them.
@Christopher Bingham You're absolutely right of course, and it's only smart business sense, you can't hold it against them in the slightest. The other person is right as well though, when you go see the current incarnations of STP and AiC you aren't going to see the same acts that were on stage in the 90s. Staley and Weiland may not have contributed much to the rhythms or even lyrics of their classic albums, but their voices were instruments and they were a gigantic part of what made their respective bands good to begin with. Not only their voices, but their charisma came through in the music and especially on-stage. I'm very happy that the other band members are still out there making music. They are legendary musicians in their own right and unlike the other person I'd definitely still pay to go see them, but without Scott and Layne those bands are ATP and AiC in name only.
It's too bad all the greats use opioids to calm that fire in their brains. Heroin, coke, and speed are the ultimate lie. Nothing cool about falling down that rabbit hole.
@@DJSockmonkeyMusic I wouldn’t see them either. Had The Doors gone on with a new singer after Morrison died I would not have been interested either. I’m sure many are no longer interested in anything STP produces without Weiland and at the same time they’ll certainly retain some casual fans who aren’t stringently loyal to the original lineup. I know STP tried and bombed with their side project Talk Show and whatever other name they chose, Art of Rock or something, so it’s a no brainer that in order to keep the cash cow going they’d need the STP brand to continue. From a business standpoint I get it and it’s certainly their prerogative, I’m just not into the business aspect of it and so not interested. Morally it just seems cheap… I also have this thing about aging rock stars looking silly at 60+ rockin it up on stage. Foreigner with 75 year old mick Jones wrinkled, bald and overweight still up there playing “feels like the first time” cracks me up. Must feel more like the 100,000th time. Get real. Some just don’t know when to quit, but that’s another topic altogether I know.
Drugs. It was drugs.
He also had a bad case of Lead Singer Disease
Drugs, and the fame that got to his head.
Lol ya beat me to it
It's always drugs
Oh
Weiland was a good singer, but when I found out from a couple of classmates that he had been picked to lead Velvet Revolver, I wondered how long before he would screw that up too. It's a shame he was such a train wreck as he left some fun music behind.
I saw STP in 2001-02 New Years Eve. He honestly looked a bit rough. But the set was so incredibly tight that I swear to this day it was the best concert I ever saw.
Was my favorite band back in the ‘90s and the music is still amazing. Their MTV Unplugged set is woefully under appreciated. Also I really dug Chester’s stuff and the new material as well.
RIP Scott. Really wish he could’ve escaped his demons and still be here with us to continue making great music. 😢🤘🏼
RIP Scott Weiland. Addiction is hell. It took my mother in 2012.
Took my Father, Sister, and ex girlfriend. It's tried to finish me off but hanging in there. Wouldn't wish addiction on my worst enemy
One of the greatest "grunge" singers missed most of the 90s "grunge" scene due to being in jail or rehab.
Finally RIP Scott.
He was a poseur. we never considered stp "grunge".
Mtv pushed that falsehood down you guys throats.
All I know about grunge is that it was just a rock scene from Seattle or Washington state but I never think that its a genre because bands that were under grunge umbrella, sound completely different from each other.
@@arnoldstallonereeves7469 i couldve just called it Seattle"pop rock" also but you wouldnt have understood.
@@arnoldstallonereeves7469 I think that it's considered a genre not necessarily because of the music itself, but because all these bands have roughly the same fans
I was cocky thinking i already knew what happened!
Always some R&R trivia that i didn't know. Thanks.
I love Scott Weiland's vocals & his gift for
Awesome writing. RIP Scott.🎼🎼🎼🎼
(We miss you...).
You know your lead singer has a serious drug problem when Layne Stayley has to fill in for him.
I would never have thought Sour Girl was their biggest hit. I always thought Sweet Remains was a really underrated song. My 18 year old daughter loves that song even now. It's a classic I think. And Atlanta. Just my opinion obviously.
It's "still" remains. happy holidays!
"One time a thing occurred to me / What's real and what's for sale"
still missing you scott. youre 1 of 1
I am so thankful I got to see him (them) once. R.I.P. and thankyou Scott xoxo
Piece of Pie is such a banger. Really there’s not a bad song on this record. Amazing start to finish.
Hearing “Plush” for the first time was a life changing experience for me much like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was. I knew that the music I was hearing in the 90’s was something special but I had no idea we would never see it’s like again.😔
That Alien Ant Farm hit hard
I hate that he had so many problems during his career bc he was such an amazing talent. His voice was beautiful. He was beautiful. His songs were and still are beautiful. I miss him. I use to say I wanted to marry Scott Weiland. He's still my favorite and always will be 🔥🤘😍
STP was one of my favorite rock bands of all time, yeah I'm biased because that was my music in my teens but no one has really been able to make anything as good as them to this day
I'd rather they had released another Talk Show album with Dave then have Jeff as the new front man. No one will ever replace Scott.
BUT... I'd gladly of taken Chris Cornell as a temporary front man when he was still here.
Talk Show was a damn great album. "Peeling An Orange" is one of my favorite songs.
@@surfsup5757 I remember reading that during the later years reunion circa their self titled release that they discussed including songs a from solo efforts and PaO was one of them.
I wonder what was recorded that was never released. There could be albums worth of songs yet to be heard.
STP was in my top 5 favorite grunge bands. Most times chemical dependency is just a symptom. Hope he has found peace if there’s an afterlife.
Big empty is one of my all time fave songs
I’m sorry but with no Scott in STP, I’ll never be interested in them as much as I was. God rest his soul, what an amazing talent he was.
I agree the band will never be the same.
RIP Weilland
I had NIN's single Closer and swapped it for the full Downward Spiral album as well as STP's Core and Purple tapes. Best trade I ever made.
Layne, Kurt, Scott...so many Legends lost to that murdering mistress named Heroin.
Rest easy, guys💜🤘🏻.
Edit- The difference in Scott's appearance from the Sex Type Thing filmclip to Velvet Revolver's Fall to Pieces is really sad to see. There was so much wasted potential there.
Rest In Peace my love!!!!!! Your suffering is no more...
A Faith No More vid would be sweet.
@Christopher Bingham I've seen those. I would love to see a stand-alone vid with them though.
Maybe one covering short period when Courtney Love was their singer 😄
I saw STP with Scott and then with Chester. Sad to know they’re both gone now.
RIP Scott - and side note, they still make their lead singers larp Weiland 💯 So it’s more like seeing a live backed Karaoke act anytime I’ve seen them since. Scott Weiland was one of a kind and someone needs to let the brothers and Kretz in on that.
Back in the 90's I used to pronounce it Way-land.
Saw them in 2003/2004 when they performed at my student union, good gig.
Enjoyed more than when I saw Velvet Revolver in 2005.
They were my favorite band.They kept trying to move on without Scott but Scott was the magic that made them.
@Anderson Cooper Then why aren't they as successful without scott? Scott was way more successful than anyone in the band.
Every time he rejoined the band the tours were epic. He definitely was the driving force
@Anderson Cooper Scott was definitely the driving force and wrote the lyrics, so no Robert didn’t write the songs. The musical aspect / melodies sure. Scott was one of rocks greatest frontmen, singers and a great lyricist as well. STP without Weiland bombed with their side acts talk show and art of rock or whatever they called it. They knew the only way to keep that cash cow going was to keep the STP brand name and try getting another singer onboard, which only achieved mediocre results… Of course its their prerogative and from a business standpoint I get why they didn’t change their name... But strictly loyal fans to the original lineup aren’t interested in an STP without Weiland, but some casual fans will certainly still go to a show. Weiland achieved enormous success with velvet revolver. Compare that with Talk Show… which just as well could have been more aptly named “no show”. I get that they still wanna make money keeping STP going on life support, but morally it just comes off as kinda cheap. Like if The Doors had gone on with a new singer after Morrison died. Sure they ‘could’ have done it but…
@Anderson Cooper I’ll take your word for it. Haven’t heard it, the last STP album with Scott, but I wouldn’t at all be surprised if it sucked. Plenty of bands went out in the same fashion as say an old washed up fighter like Ali vs Holmes with a subpar or awful last album. The lifespan of any music artist is usually pretty short lived. Led Zeppelin’s last album wasn’t awful but certainly not that great as they traded the retro sounding Hammond organ for more synth pop background filler. Bowie’s mid / late 80’s sucked and he admitted those were his “Phil Collins years”. Floyd’s last album final cut sucked and was really just a roger waters solo album… Speaking of Roger, he being the lyricist and with Gilmour as the main musical writer together produced some fantastic records. Apart they were just okay. Point being they needed each other. Same argument can be made for Scott & Robert. Scott wrote the lyrics, Robert music. They were best together. Anyway none of this is a big deal obviously and everyone sees it however they see it. For me STP had it’s moment and shined brightly but it’s over and the guys are getting older too. Once you reach 50-60 it’s time to hang it up. My opinion of course but I’ll just give one example and that’s Mick Jones from Foreigner who is 76, balding wrinkled and pudgy and still up there playing “Feels like the first time”. Really must feel more like the 100,000th time.
Drugs. Was it drugs? I’m gonna bet it was drugs.
RIP Scott
Core is my fav Hardrock album of all time
@Westward Thinking bro, as i got notice of your reply. Im listening to it in my car. If Big Empty would of been on Core instead of Creep, best album of alltime. To me only Alice in Chains could come up with something as good as core.
Chester with STP was oddly the best show I've been to. The vibe was just... different.
@@Frip36 It was, I think what made it was that I've been to a ton of shows and by far, I've never seen a group of musicians visibly enjoy themselves as they did in that show.
One of the best rock bands of the 90' "and beyond"...lol. No Wieland. No band. He was irreplaceable. Loved ever song he sang. RIP Scott. We miss you and will never forget you! Why does the best music ever written/played always comes from drugs and early death? Sad really...reality.
Actually the music of STP was written by Robert not Scott. Robert wasn’t a druggie and Scott initially wasn’t on drugs for Core.
The opposite is true. The best music is written sober, drugs destroy art and music more often than aid in great work which is the rare exception.
Scott’s only successful drug album was Purple. Core, Number 4, and Contraband, Scott’s most successful albums, were all written during his brief moments of sobriety. His other albums which didn’t sell that much were all made on drugs.
Scott Weiland struck me as someone that just couldn't help making everything difficult for himself. He seemed like his own worst enemy, he just couldn't get out of his own way. I guess we'll never know where all that came from. It's very tragic, because if he could have just let go and done what he did best, it wouldn't have had to end the way it did.
Well, he had bipolar disorder and was a sexual assault survivor, 2 things that often lead to substance dependency. It might not have been exclusively those things, but that definitely didn't help
Glad I got to see them with RHCP before everything went south.
Scott was an amazing soul, and I'm very disappointed I didn't get to see STP live when I had the chance. If I grew up in the 80s, I would probably have jumped at the chance to see the band during the Core or Purple tour. STP shows must have been a blast when he was around I bet.
Regarding the AIC-KISS shows (and excuse me for this since I'm no music expert) but I believe Layne was on a downward spiral with drugs...The guy was sick and if you look closely at one of the videos of one of the shows, Jerry is periodically checking on Layne to make sure he was okay. Now idk if any of this is true, so if someone could confirm this that would be great.
i did grow up in the 80s , but just got turned on to there music couple years ago , not sure what happened, yes i do i grew up in Kentucky,
Without Weiland this band would have been nothing.
This!! 💯👏
Wow I actually had no idea he passed away. That means 2 of STP's singers died. How sad.
Thats like saying scott weiland fired scott weiland. He WAS that band. Lol
Scott Weiland would have been legendary if not already. I know STP is still around today, but I just can't listen to them without Scott :(
I was so hoping the answer would be Survivor. But once I saw yesterday's video...I knew STP was the obvious answer.
STP's massively underrated, self titled album from 2010 was the last great album of the bands considered grunge. I think I think so.
I personally think its a huge disrespect to any band member of any band to keep the same name after a band members death and then replacing them with another person under the same name.
AIC( huge regret-- RIP Layne), Journey, ACDC,STP, and Sublime (also regrettably ) just to name a few did this and it just makes u involuntary cringe when you hear a dead member has been replaced.
Don't know why these after mentioned bands cant take a page from Led Zeppelin and The Doors and just do there own thing or use another name. Yes, some of these band members were toxic to the band cuz of drugs and shit. DONT CARE! They started the band together and once one dies thats it.
Finishing his autobiography
This guy was so SO talented
He was so naturally gifted with artistic vision
He was just too sick with addiction
Drugs are way past being a slippery slope
They are deadly and have
Continued to become more poisonous
STP isn't STP without Scott weiland
I remember the Opie & Anthony Show episode about the failed NJ STP show. They really ripped on Scott hard.
Yes
Just to let y'all know...with the pain of heroin addiction...comes all of that music you love...you can say if he was sober he would have done the same...but no...that's like saying The Doors would have been the same without the drug addiction.
@Anderson Cooper bullshit, if you believe that I have some magical beans that will make you straight
Hard to tour when you’re so loaded you can’t remember lyrics you wrote ..
RIP Scott 😥
Good one, Slash also being a substance abuser. I play only in small pubs but when the guy you play together with cant even make it to his own bookings because of alcohol abuse, its really annoying and time to walk away before he brings YOU down together with himself.
The letter of the day is "H"
Heliocentric
You didn't put a link in the description. I really want to see the talk show vid, but I cant find it!!
ruclips.net/video/cH-wuGNoNSs/видео.html&feature=share
THIS, kids, is what drugs do to you.
you lose control and you end in a life of pain while desperately wishing you just said no.
We as good vocalists, have a lot of our mind problems around even in the best bright days.
If it wasn’t for Scott’s addiction would tiny music be bigger than purple?
@Christopher Bingham ah I see your point. It was also interesting to see how Scott’s appearance drastically changed from the core era to tiny music era.
@Christopher Bingham I liked purple but loved tiny music. I’m glad they didn’t produce a purple 2 album. Every one of their albums sounded distinctly different, maybe the first two some similarities but their ability to change styles so superbly is one of the things that set them apart from many others. Imagine Kurt cobain singing “And so I know” lol. I mean, sour girl, sex type thing and Big Bang baby all sound like three songs from three completely different bands and singers.
STP was the greatest rock band of the 90's. Their music was so much better than Pearl Jam, etc.
Man. Listen to Your voice, made me get a different picture in my head of what or who you look like. You don’t look like how I thought you did. ((Weird I know))
This shit is just sad. These guys are too fragile. Chester and Scott are dead now. Slash should keep his mouth shut
People always talk about how so many great singers fall to their addictions. The fact is, musicians in general have a huge problem with addictions, the frontmen are just more "famous" or have more well known names, so their troubles make the news more often. There's not some tragic specific gravitation between drugs and singers, it's when just young people from low to middle class backgrounds are given massive fame and lots of money these kinds of things are not uncommon. Not taking anything away from any of these guys, there's so much wasted potential in all the drug related deaths of musicians. It's very sad.
Not everyone has an iron will, and not everyone can be expected to. This is why friendship and familial bonds are so important, and early intervention as well as tough love must be given. To let this sort of thing fester silently in the hopes that the problem will go away on it's own is the worst thing that can possibly be done aside from directly enabling.
Core is great.
the difference with STP is their music was not nearly as dark as the other grunge bands.
they were the closest to that upbeat , classic rock that they obviously loved. like Zepplin
Do a video on vinnie vincent
That's nothing. My boss Lenny fired me seven times in a three year p e r o i d.
......I am I am I said I'm not myself, but I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Never knew they weren't critically acclaimed. Well, no matter. Music remains either good or bad in the eyes(and ears) of the listening public, regardless of the opinions, statements and reviews of critics. Example with these guys: Critics say STP aren't good. I don't care, think they ARE good, listen to their music, watch their videos and collect their catalog.
“Shangri LaDEEduh”??? Come on man, it’s Shangri La-dee-DAH!
RIP Scott . At least we got a lot of great work.
LMAO.
Great band.... implosion was expected
I got to see STP in 2018 with their new lead singer and it was great
Instead of saying the bassist would tell rolling stone... say the bassit told rolling stone. You're overusing the word WOULD.
Robert is the real musical genius in that band. Scott was the vocal genius and the melody genius. Too bad in ended how it did. I miss Scott very much.
STP basically did replace Scott with Coutts, they just called themselves Talk Show.
@Christopher Bingham I think Seven Mary Three's singer sounds a lot like Weiland. So why NOT him?
Saw STP live in 2000 and they were fantastic. Saw them again in 2010, and had Jerry Cantrell jamming with them. At first listen he sounded ok, but pretty quickly it became obvious his voice was shot. It was a shame.
I saw stp front row open for Neil Young. On the last song, a fan got up on stage and the croud cheered, Scott was so pissed, he slammed his mic on the ground and stormed off stage. I felt he kinda over reacted.
Please avoid covering information with thumbnails at the end of the video. Keep up the awesome work.
I can answer that in 3 words: ego and drugs...their is a classic opie and anthony show on Scott weiland and his x wife.. .
Lol he even mentioned it
Short answer to this video… Drugs
I hate to knit pick, but you only catch strikes if and when it's a "violent felony" not for non-violent felonies.
I do know that well, I personally have two strikes on my record and did do time in the California Department of Corrections.
Scott Weiland was a great singer, great artist. Sadly, he couldn't overcame his problems with drugs.
When you are more fucked on drugs than Alice in Chains. Let’s be honest the fact that Scott Weiland lived to see a second career revival and his 50th birthday is nothing short of a miracle.
You didn’t link anything you said in the description?
They should have fired him long before, that would have given him an incentive, something to come back to. Instead, they used him until they decided he no longer had anything to give.
Of course had to bring up Alice In Chains. I have been on a AIC/ Layne Staley lion for over a week again watching all his stuff and just being bummed about the whole situation. Then I try to get that out of my head by watching another band and boom lol.
Drugs and drugs!
And some more drugs.
Heroin addiction is the simple answer.
This damn drug has, and continues, to ruin far too many people - not just rockstars.
