SCOTT WEILAND: I Get No Respect From The Press - May 14, 2004
 
VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"I feel that I can no longer be a part of the rock 'Press Type Thing'.

"Although I greatly appreciate the respect our album has been given in review, it has become increasingly clear that in 'respect' to me, the word journalism' is blurred with tabloid sensationalism and untruths. I will not stoop to the level of these mosquitoes in order to simply sell records. I won't play your fucking game.

"VELVET REVOLVER agreed a month ago to do a feature for Rolling Stone. I have already committed to this. In the past my relationship with R.S. has been an honest one for the most part. I have had a very positive and open relationship with one writer there over the years when S.T.P. has been featured on covers and so on. His name is David Fricke. If it could be worked out that he and I speak than I would feel more comfortable to participate in this last piece.

"This decision is not just about me. I have two young children, one of which is old enough to comprehend things, but not yet of the age to be able to distinguish the truth from outright lies.

"I understand that you guys may feel that you won't be able to crawl inside my head, and I am sympathetic to that, so I will contact you all through the website via Yoko every few days to keep in touch and answer questions."
end

Gypsy comment:  *para-phrase singing* Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o ... Ghost "Writers" In The Sky  :P

.... I wish he'd pipe down until the album is released at least.  

If he's facing unprecedented scrutiny, I feel for him, but it's part & parcel of being a rock star.  And I distinctly recall him saying that he enjoys being a rockstar in an older interview.

What "untruths" is he referring to?

this move is gona make reporters more and more interested in Scott :)))

ahhh, so he's playing hard to get, is he?  It could increase the interest in him if Scott plays his cards right.  :)

Am I the only one who has noticed how let's say "different" this Scott post is worded compared to anything he has posted online or said in interviews before?  :confused:

Here's Scott's post on VR's site from only five days prior to this new post:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=15;action=display;threadid=12298

That May 9th post was pulled from the VR site as was his previous post.  If memory serves me correctly, that previous Scott post was directed at another mag writer who had the audacity to say that Scott's DUI arrest was for alcohol instead of drugs.  And wasn't Scott's first band-site post an attack on the VR PR lady?

Anyway ... IMO someone else wrote this latest post attributed to Scott Richard Weiland (that's the way it's signed on the VR site).

And the reason I'm bitchin' about this is because I HATE THE FACT THAT HE/THEY BROUGHT HIS CHILDREN INTO THIS!!!  :rant:
"This decision is not just about me.  I have two young children, one of which is old enough to comprehend things, but not yet of the age to be able to distinguish the truth from outright lies."

Those children were just 5 days younger when Scott made his last post so why didn't he care about what effect all this has on them then?  :rant:
 

This guy does not like people talking about him.  :hihi:
