2 years, we still mourn STP frontman Scott Weiland

[HurryUpAndDrink]

Arguably the best showman/frontman of the 90's and 00's and one of the best in history

Apparently he felt like there was nothing more to live for?

[gauchojake]

Being the STP frontman is like being the drummer for Spinal Tap

[Chi_archie]

reminds me, I need to get around to listening to some velvet revolver

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I liked him. Great band. Check out video of "Sour Girl".

Let's be honest...Scott was flawed (like many of us). Held back the band w/ his addiction problems. Got into a fist-fight w/ one of the DeLaos on-stage during a gig.

That's not the impression I got. He didn't commit suicide. Just wore out his body w/ persistent substance-abuse.

Rec drug use.... almost like playing Russian Roulette. You always need more and more and more to reach the next level of HIGH.

Got a chance to see STP in '97.
Scott was out of his head but it was a great show..
Started the show with him being lowered from the ceiling kicking back in a LayZboy...

So, yeah he was flawed, but the DeLeo's solved their differences with him by teaming up 3 on 1 and being judgmental all the time, I was in a similar situation in my band and didnt work out...

What do you make of STP releasing a new single and announcing a new tour TODAY the SAME VERY FUKKIN DAY Scott died, 2 years ago. I dont like it, very disrespectful and seems they are still riding the wave of the Weiland name as long as they can.

[OTL]

Yeah, he was an awesome performer and a great talent. I got to see STP during one of Weiland's brief "clean" periods, and he put on an amazing show. The truly great bands/singers are even better live, and that definitely rang true for for Scott and STP. I'll never forget that experience.

[TheMoneyShot]

Great vocals and band.... didn't mean to bad mouth Weiland in my previous post.

Wish the guy could of stayed clean... but couldn't do it.

[ByeShea]

Weiland was awesome, one of rock's all-time front men. I think his old band was jealous of him, frankly, and that made it easy for the 3-on-1 mentality referenced above. It just wasn't a workable situation. So then he hops into an all-star band and lights it up with Velvet Revolver.

100% agree.

Sucks because he didn't and still doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Hands down STP is my favorite band of all time. Great catalog of music.

Same here man. I rock to purple and tiny music quite often.

Bump. Great band.
