Stone Temple Pilots

The DeLeo's don't have a leg to stand on here. Weiland is one of the two founding members of the band and wrote their songs.

They do actually, read the lawsuit. Or maybe you're just talking about in the public eye.

Maybe with the tardiness and substance abuse but he did start the band and wrote their songs. That gives him rights to copyright.

The split between the Stone Temple Pilots and former frontman Scott Weiland has escalated into a legal feud. The Associated Press reports that the band filed a lawsuit accusing Weiland of misusing the band's name in to advance his solo work and asked a judge to block him from using the band's name and their songs.


STP has asked the judge to stop Weiland from performing STP songs in his solo career, or even calling himself a former member of the band.

Yeah, Scott might be a pain in the ass but Robert and Dean seem like world class pricks.

So according to to recent articles:

http://www.spin.com/#articles/stone-temple-pilots-scott-weiland-lawsuit-response/

http://www.spin.com/#articles/stone-temple-pilots-chester-bennington-out-of-time-new-singer/

Scott Weiland and STP are going to court over him refusing to do committed tour dates and then STP using Chester Bennington to replace him and are still using the name.

The funny thing I find about this is (correct me if I am wrong) didn't Chester say he wouldn't take over the Velvet Revolver spot because he was too good of friends with Scott? But its alright for him to go into STP 

I just thought his voice had the grittyness that would be good for VR

[IzzyDutch]

I think it was VR who declined the use of Chester's vocals after firing Scott

i cant help but feel for Scott...

i think STP replacing him with another singer a famous one to boot and using the name STP is absurd

STP was suppose to tour the Core record for its 20th anniversary. Scott decided to celebrate it by touring Core with his solo band. Needless to say the rest of the STP guys were pissed. I would be too if left hanging like that. Unfortunately Scott never takes responsibility for his actions. It's always someone else's fault. The similarities between gnr and STP are scary similar

There's even more to it than that.
 - Scott has missed shows, showed up late, or showed up wasted to a lot of STP shows in the last 2 years
 - Scott demanded a bigger cut of the publishing AND touring royalties than he had before (Doesn't that sound familiar?)
 - Scott had refused to communicate with other band members and would only communicate through managers (He has a separate manager than the rest of the band)
 - Scott refuses to write or record with the other guys in the same room and records vocals in a completely different studio

All in all, I agree that it's not really STP without Scott. But I don't blame the guys one bit for moving on and I don't feel sorry for Scott at all.

scott said that the band didnt want to tour core, they wanted a greatest hits tour and scott disagreed.
then he made a solo tour ...

Their lawsuit completely disputes that. It states they were discussing a Core tour as early as January 2012. But I guess it's he said/she said at this point.

And they played a song written by David Bowie, Scott's man-crush. Ouch!

I don't think they're all that similar.  One band has a singer that has had multiple projects going on at once.  One has a singer that has only had one project in his career.  The anniversary touring of a particular record as a breaking point is both disputable and speculative as it applies to STP (a matter of perspective) and also inapplicable to GN'R.  Then you have another factor that is entirely different - the issue of dealing with someone with a drug dependency.  Showing up late to shows, I understand as a similarity.  Showing up wasted?  I've heard of that with STP, never seen personally or heard of that with GN'R.

Some circumstantial similarities and some circumstantial differences as well.  I don't see it as being all that much of an apples-to-apples comparison.

Which is what the other band members have said as well.  My point was that having dealt with someone struggling with addiction, it adds a different layer to dealing with someone who you may have other issues with.  At the very least, with all other business and/or personality conflicts included, it is yet another factor to deal with and complicates the situation further.
