Scott Weiland - solo thread

[rebelhipi]

Puts things in to perspective.

She pulled no punches... tough to read.

Indeed..... eye opening but necessary to say.   

Bullshit or not, sounds like something a bitter ex would say.

Anyway i feel bad for their kids. Must not be the smoothest childhood...

Bitter ex ?

Are you serious....

What i meant was that if Mary would still have been together with Scott, her letter would  probably been more, lets say nostalgic.

Is she telling the absolute truth? I hope not, but i have no idea.

[tim_m]

I think her feelings are completely understandable and justified. You also have to wonder if his widow had a part in him not seeing his kids. I really hope not.

Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland died from a toxic mix of drugs including cocaine, alcohol and ecstasy, a US medical examiner has said.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office also noted a history of heart disease, asthma and substance abuse.

mixing drugs + heart disease...was he suicidal or just plain stupid?

He was a drug addict....

[GypsySoul]

Just so sad on so many levels. 

RIP Scott and all who passed under similar, but non-headline grabbing, circumstances.

[Malcolm]

RIP Scott, I got to see VR twice, once in a half bowl setup at the acc in toronto and it started late, and then again at the Molson Amphitheatre with Alice in Chains and both shows rocked

thats my favourite performance by far

[rebelhipi]

The Wildabouts were quite wild indeed, in their short existence half of the band died of accidental overdoses.

Not saying that it is a cool thing or anything. Just saying.

[pilferk]

This is very, very sad.  He was an amazing talent.

But....I can't say I'm surprised.  Is there anyone reading this who DOESN'T suspect, strongly, it was an overdose?  Scott's inner demons seemed to ultimately win every war. He just couldn't seem to overcome his substance abuse issues....and that, too, is very sad.

RIP, Scott.  

I'm not sure, initial reports seem to indicate he passed in his sleep.

Cause of death: Multiple drug overdoses. 

Bad, bad cocktail of stuff in his system.

It's a sad story...and one I think we've all heard too many times.  RIP, Scott.

[D]

Im still fucking Devastated

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah it sucks... it kinda just happened and seems to be faded already. Casual fans or casual rock people forget how good he was man.

I was telling my wife this fall that I'm surprised no one has found him dead yet from an overdose too. After seeing that zonked out performance of Vasoline I was shocked to know he was still doing stuff.

It's sad.

Howard Stern gave a nice little tribute to Scott after his passing.

Remembering Scott Weiland: It?s Been A Long Year, Since You?ve Been Gone

Legendary Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland passed away a year ago today. To celebrate his life on this sad anniversary, Alternative Nation is going to take a look back at some of Weiland?s most intimate musical moments.

While Scott Weiland was best known for lighting up stages with his signature megaphone on tracks like ?Crackerman? and ?Sex Type Thing,? few were better than him at performing in a stripped-down setting, often times showcasing his most elegant vocal work on softer tracks such as ?Atlanta? and ?Wonderful.?

Here are his top 10 acoustic performances, and following the list are a group of previously unreleased Scott Weiland tribute graphics made on photos of the late singer throughout his career that Alternative Nation owner Brett Buchanan had made during his time as Weiland?s social media manager (one of which is the featured photo for this article). The tribute photos were edited with the help of Below Empty user justbill, and feature Stone Temple Pilots? iconic fleuron logo from Shangri-La Dee Da. One of the originally commissioned photos remains as Weiland?s Facebook profile picture.

Good choises. I think my favourite is Tiny Music. You should check that one out.
Scott also said in one of his interviews last year that he thinks that tiny music is his favourite STP album

[westcoast_junkie]

Mine too is Tiny Music, though Purple is almost as good in my ears.
I also think their last album was pretty underrated.

One year has passed, but it's still really sad....

Tiny music is great too. Tripping on a hole in a paper heart one of their best songs on that album imo.
