Scott Weiland - solo thread

[FunkyMonkey]

They could do a mini series on Weiland...

So true.

There hasn't been too much on Scott Weiland lately.  In one of those recent Duff interviews the DJ said that Scott told him that he was going back to rehab, this time for alcohol.  I wonder if that will be yet another chapter.

SCOTT WEILAND: New Performance, Interview Footage Shot For VH1's 'Behind The Music' - Mar. 20, 2009

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland and his band were filmed performing ten songs in the studio for the upcoming Weiland episode of "Behind The Music", the popular VH1 series that is being revived by the network three years after it stopped producing new installments.

A brand new video blog from Scott's business partner and touring guitarist Doug Grean regarding the "Behind The Music" shoot can be viewed below.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, 10 new "Behind The Music" episodes have been ordered by VH1, with Weiland and rapper Lil Wayne the only subjects confirmed so far. VH1 executive VP of original programming Jeff Olde said about the show's return, "It felt like the time is right. There's all sorts of new artists on the scene who have emerged and have these great stories. And there's other artists that we always wanted to do the first time around."

"Behind The Music" aired regularly between 1997 and 2002, with only a few new episodes produced until 2006.

The show featured segments on a number of iconic hard rock acts, such as METALLICA and PANTERA.

The show's standard formula of showing an artist's rise, fall and comeback was so well-known that "The Simpsons" parodied it in 2000.

Does he realize that a 40 year old looks ridiculous with that kind of hair?

SCOTT WEILAND's SOFTDRIVE RECORDS Releases First Online Reality Webisode - Apr. 7, 2009

Boutique record label Softdrive Records has released the first in a series of webisodes intended to document the day-to-day functions, difficulties, and grassroots efforts of an independent record label in today's faltering economy and digitally driven music business.

Softdrive Records is the brainchild of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and ex-VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland and producer/engineer/guitarist Doug Grean.

Grean commented, "I was unaware of the power of YouTube, but last year Adam Kirr suggested we try video blogs. The fans loved it, and it turned out that both Scott and I really enjoyed it as well."

After the resounding success of Grean's video blog from the most recent Scott Weiland solo tour, Softdrive has opened its doors to the video blog world. Utilizing candid office shots, musical performances from Weiland, Grean, and the Softdrive artist roster, as well as update segments and office hijinks, the Softdrive Records team will invite fans to experience the operations behind a small record label.

Shot and edited in true DIY fashion, the Softdrive webisodes aim to document the personalities and operations behind the record labels efforts. "We'd really like fans to see that Softdrive is really more like a family than a company. It's an intimate operation," says Arik Garcia, A&R/recording engineer for Softdrive Records. Webisodes will be released bi-monthly on the Softdrive street team YouTube account, allowing time to record and edit fresh material for each update.

Softdrive Records operates out of Weiland and Grean's private studio in Burbank, California, leaving the door open for surprise guest appearances and cameos from recording artists and friends of the pair.

Scott Weiland Loses It

Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland certainly raised a lot of eyebrows last weekend when he turned up to the Float and 207 Grand Opening at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego looking less than hip n? happening. So is the self-confessed former drug addict engaging in other bad habits?

According to insiders, Weiland was totally "jittery and couldn?t sit still."

"People would ask him questions (a simple ?how are you? or someone saying hello) or ask him to stand somewhere for a photo and it would take him a while to process these minute requests," said our inside source, adding that his performance was amazing but the second he came off-stage he was acting very, very odd again.

Hey guys what happened to the song "Man I Didn't Know" that Scott performed live before?  There was a clip of it on his MySpace for awhile and I assumed it would be on his solo record... but I don't see it on the tracklist, was it ever released?
