RIP Scott Weiland..

Looks like drugs might have taken another one from us. Found on a tour bus this evening per TMZ.

Honestly it's a miracle he's lived this long.

I loved STP. The album "Core" takes me back to high school every time I hear it.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'm surprised I didn't read this 10 years ago

 

[TBone.sixpack]

One of my favs. Sucks to hear.

Not shocking.

 

[PBRME]

So true.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

Smelling like a rose.

Core was a great album. But you had to be on drugs to come up with the lyrics of "Plush"

 

[KurtRambis4]

No doubt.

Dude couldn't kick heroin.

 

[patdog]

Sucks. But, like the others, not surprised. It was just a matter of time. STP was one of the best bands around.

Same here. Only it takes me back to college...

 

[seshomoru]

I was only 11 when Core came out...

but holy crap... at 13... Purple was just awesome, and it remained one of those staple albums all through high school. Oasis released Definitely Maybe and What's the Story around the same time, and thus my chord heavy 90s rock fandom was cemented.

Plus, Sex Type Thing was on Gran Turismo 2, which I wore out on the Playstation in the Spring and Summer of '99.

My boss' son was touring with him running sound/electric. Boss told me this morning his son was actually the one who found him. Crazy.

 

[OurPrideAndJoySnots]

Was 11 when the following aired. Recorded it on our VCR, later transferred it to digital. Still has all the sweet early 90s commercials along with it. Launched my fandom.

 

[Palos verdes]

I first discovered STP while watching an episode of MTV's Headbangers Ball, and they played the video Sex Type Thing. Great jam.

Favorite memory of Scott Weiland was Family Values Tour in late 90's. STP was headliners and towards the end Scott walked out with nothing on but an American flag wrapped around his waist...Looking back now it was bizarre but back then I remember thinking how bad *** it was for some reason....ah the joys of being young and dumb.

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

MTV unplugged is on of my favorite series of all time. Not much that was on there was ever bad, even the bands that I was not a fan of put on good shows.

 

[SuspectZero]

STP was the first CD I ever got. Still have it. The music holds up. "And I feel, when the dogs began to smell her". Great Line.

 

[rugbdawg]

I see that Manny Diaz is all about that Bass.

Really, an unbelievable resemblance. Makes sense he is from Miami. Lots of good blow there.

 

[ShrubDog]

Another tour bus takes a victim of addiction.

The fishscale was plentiful but the lidocaine in the blow would have folks thinking it was off the block.

Yep, programmed short races to play that back to back to back. I think Kickstart My Heart was my other one.
