Rock star Scott Weiland was found dead on his tour bus in Minnesota ... TMZ has learned.
Weiland was on tour with his band Scott Weiland & the Wildabouts ... they were supposed to play the Medina Ballroom tonight, but the show was cancelled.
A source connected to the band tells us Scott was found Thursday night on the bus around 9 PM -- presumably, shortly before the band was to go on.
The former lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver famously battled substance abuse for years. It's unclear right now what caused his death.'

Ugh...
-
Such an waste of a life of a talented man. His demons won unfortunately.
-
Dude..... i went to see him here in Corpus earlier this year and as soon as he went on i could tell he was strung out again.....sucks....i spent most of 2009, 10 and 11 on nationals.....fast living.....rip
-
Sad....
-
RIP to my favorite vocalist ever.
I listen to STP almost every day, my stomach feels in knots already as I digest this news. Career wise, sadly, we was really past his prime, I opted not to see his show last summer here, heard it sucked but regret not going for to have lived the nostalgia of having gone, been there...
I've been worried for a while something like this would happen as I'm guessing he still consumed hard drugs and often.
His past fame kept him alive, not sure how much longer he could have kept a fan base to live off what he did. Either way, I'll still listen to my huge playlist of fav's from his bands until I kick the bucket.
RIP Scott Weiland
-
Was just a matter of time before his demons took over.
Never was a huge fan, but when he fronted Velvet Revolver, there were a lot of tracks I enjoyed.
He will be missed.
-
Strange this happens on the day with the planets aligned with the pyramids...
-
So far gone for so long, surprised he made it this far, sadly.
-
Saw STP many times in the mid 1990's. Rock n' Roll!
-
had one of the best voices imo
-
as a a teenager in highschool in the 90's they were my favorite seattle band, very good band there first 4 albums were pretty damm good
-
Fucking legit band. Don't hear rock bands like that anymore. Saw them back in 2008. Sure he had his fun in life...RIP
-
Died doing what he loved...

I wonder if it was an acute overdose...or was it heart damage from chronic coke/speed abuse...and he died of cardiac myopathy in his sleep?
-
Saw him with Velvet Revolver a few years back. RIP

Bigmc...take note :'(
-
Juiced to the gills.
-
Wasn't surprised at all when I read it this AM... PIP...
-
Well he finally succeeded in destroying himself. Sad figure.
-
Chester Bennington just left STP last month and with Weiland back on board, STP was poised to make a HUGE reunion tour that would rake in the bucks. But Weiland couldn't handle the pressure so he took the coward's way out. Still better to burn out than fade away.
-

X2, RIP :'(

Take your bullshit somewhere else

Had some good lifts while listening to STP in college. PIP.

No refunds

Not surprising at all.
-
Sad, knew all about his demons. One of my favorite front men/singers in Rock! :'(
-

RIP Dude
From Wiki -In 1995, Weiland was caught and convicted of buying crack cocaine. He was sentenced to one year's probation. His drug use did not end after his sentence, but increased, and he moved into a hotel room for two months, next door to Courtney Love, where she said he "shot drugs the whole time" with her.
I hate that kunt....hope shes next
I saw a 'Plush' vid once where it was a live indoor venue...he came down off the stage and was singing 'conversations kill' either in the front row or just in front of it...The intensity was crazy...sure he just main lined some shit.Went through 25 pages on utube looking for it no luck...
-
Man....man....man....sad ...real sad. Loved his music. Buddy of mine took him fishing one time. Supposedly Scott really enjoyed fishing and was a cool down to earth person. But yeah, even on that day Scott was anebriated by dope. I will ask my friend the story again and post the whole occurrance.
RIP
-
Saw the STP reunion tour like 5 years ago or so. Scott looked BAD. I mean like might not even make it through the show bad.
It's surprising he lived this long.
RIP

So drkaje was the last known person seen with Scott?
-
Man, a bummer for sure. Saw STP many times in the 90's. Unlike other bands of the era they never made a shit album. Everything they put out was fucking great....sad day but probably long past due.
-
RIP SCOTT!
How many of you Getbiggers have had friends or family members pass away as a result of drug abuse or somehow drug related?
I've had at least three that I am aware of and one of those deaths was a result of a suicide after an unsuccessful 2 year attempt to overcome the effects of prescription drugs after a serious spinal operation.
I tried to help but failed on numerous occasions.
That story is an interesting one in the event that anyone wants to hear it.
The other two, I'd rather not talk about except to state one claimed to be ready to jump off her balcony and commit suicide.
When I got there I discovered that she lived on the first floor of a high rise apartment which had less than a one foot drop.
She was under the care of a psychiatric 'hospice' for a couple of years ..... got cleaned up and now has a high paying job for a federal agency.

I guess I just never got them. I liked Purple, but every album seemed to be catering to whatever sound they figured was popular. Never felt they had their own motif/sound. :-\

fucking sucks. :'(
I love stp, but let's be honest, dude has been playing chicken with dead for years.
-
RIP - Great Frontman, one of the all-time great frontmen. Interesting to see what legacy he and his music will leave.
-
Died doing what he loved...

Yeah...Sitting on a tour bus is a very popular pastime. One many of us lesser individuals aspire to on a minute by minute basis. In truth, dope is for dopes.
Sorry to see him go, but he punched his own clock on this one. :'( Dammit.
-
I clicked on the vid of him signing "Big Empty" with his other band. I never thought I'd see him perform that horrible.
Anxious to know the official cause of death.
Is it me or was he starting to look a lot like the late night talk show "Conan"

I saw him perform with Velvet Revolver at Chastain Park Ampitheater in Atlanta. Fantastic front man. Good as in good this side of Axl or DLR or any of the top 80's front men. I was surprised as I wasn't there to see him (I'm a guitar guy).
What a shame.
Hey, 240isBack and those who'd know: Why are there so many bands touring year around these days? Is that how they are making their dough now or have peoples appetite for live music increased?

Bands really only get money on the tour... They make almost nothing from the record label itself.
Also, let's remember, a lot of these bands have a nostalgia about them. People aren't buying the albums or songs on iTunes so much, but they will fill up arenas still.
Add to it, the fact that these are all established bands and their fan base are older, that fan base can afford higher priced tickets. Tickets to Crue are always expensive now because the people who are their fans can afford to shell out a couple of hundred bucks (Often more) to see them or whatever.

Jesus Christ, people actually liked STP. I wonder if they store the STP Purple album right next Dark Horse from Nickelback.
God forbid if Seven Mary Three dies in a plane crash or Candlebox gets in a fatal three car pile up. Getbig may have a giant meltdown.

Do you ever have anything positive to say about anything? Holy fuck how do you enjoy life with such a negative attitude. There are probably plenty of people on this message board who don't like STP, but they aren't here posting about it. Because they have a life, & do & talk about the things that make them happy. Not constantly bitch about anything & everything. Go bake some bread you racist bastard...
RIP Scott Weiland

Yeah, definitely right about that. On top of not liking STP, it took a lot of discipline on my part to read "my favourite vocalist ever" from a few people and not start some shit in a RIP thread :)
(Not that there is anything wrong with his style - I just don't find it that much different to a lot of the bands that were big with the same vibe).
-
Never got into any of the bands he fronted but had a chance to see them live with RHCP and Fishbone. The guy definitely destroyed the line up with his stage presence. He stole the show that night.

Groupthink takes over and too many seem to think you "have to like" certain bands/performers.
The fact that he had some measure of success in a difficult business does not change the fact that he is just another dead junkie who brought his death on himself.

I never liked them at first for that very reason. I was into gangster rap, way too much during that time. All the kids going nuts over STP made me kinda hate the group.
Was not until my early 20's did I discover the N4 album that had me hooked to discover and really like the other albums as well.
The band stayed pretty big a long time. You can't say people liked them because of peer pressure infulence. People don't buy albums ouf of peer pressure either.
-
Damn, Scott had that golden voice. you know it's him when you hear it. Dude had his demons and addiction without treatment will always win.....I've been playing "Interstate Love song" all day in his honor......P.I.P Scott
-
Dude was up there with Chris cornell as the best voice in rock
PIP
in his Prime, Scott Stapp could hold his own too
-
While not a favorite of mine, STP had enough of a body of work to qualify as a significant band and not a one hit wonder, or flavor of the month.
I can't relate to being so addicted to drugs that you're still doing them in your late 40s, but some people just can't stop, and this is how it invariably ends.
RIP

It's the 90's band curse. Half of Alice In Chains od'd and died... and, so many more from that era. Really sad, but not too shocking. :-\

Pretty much every decade. It's a lifestyle thing. You're on the road often with a lot of time to kill and nothing to do. It's not hard to fall into bad habits.
Today is different. With Internet access, you can always keep busy by learning something new if you want to. Other than mental weakness, there's no excuse to be a junkie.

Guy was a talent for sure, but "greatest"?
C'mon.
His was a decade of legends (Vedder, Staley, Cornell, Hoon, Robinson, Keenan, etc.); not to be callous, but Scott and STP were a 90s B Team (brilliance of ILS excepted). My take, obviously, all subjective.

Sorry i'm laughing at this too
But then again i saw most metal bands in their prime ie: Crue,Scorps,Ozzy,VH,AC/DC,Maiden,Metallica,Anthrax,Queensryche, Priest ect.

That's how I feel about a lot of stuff.
When you get to see some bands when they truly kicked ass, the stuff from the 90s just seems kind of 'meh.

48 years old. The dude lived about 20 years longer than most would have thought. Some may say he died too young, but that's really not true. He lived way past his expiration date imop.
-
None of those bands is a "metal" band IMO... Rock yeah, maybe even "hard rock," but metal??? Slayer, Dark Throne, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, etc were the metal bands of the 90's.

That's for another debate
Times have changed. What once was called metal is now called rock. Different versions of metal, speed,thrash, glam, power ect
Every band you've mentioned I've seen live
But I don'l consider Tom G Warrior/Fischer a great frontman
Shout at the Devil was a metal album when it came out
Pain Killer is still a metal album
-
That's unfortunate.
You're accessment is spot on.
Tool and Pearl Jam played arenas and still do.
STP was a 3000 seat venue act, and never an arena level band.
-
Still remember how "Plush" plagiarized Pearl Jam.
and pearl jam plagiarized nirvana. ive heard it all. think the reality is it was just the local seattle sound.
Plush has a unique intro using inversion chords.

Pearl Jam sounded nothing like Nirvana, at all. First were blues-based hard rockers, second were a more rock/punk hybrid. Vocals were night and day. Never heard that charge before.
In fact, all four of the big Seattle "grungers" had very different sounds.

These latter-day genre/sub-genre busybodies can fuck right off. Priest, Sabbath, Maiden, Dio, Chains, Tool, Soundgarden, all metal to me. Even much of the hairstuff, far as I care.

Just my take is all, hits don't mean anything. Pilots offered nothing fresh or better at the time, to me. Debut, especially. Also, something flat/weak in their guitar sound, until I heard 'Interstate'. Played the fuck outta that one, sounded like a whole different band (mostly for the melodic 80s-style hook).
I do think Scott found a unique little niche for himself after while - a "rockstar" in a time it wasn't cool. And I think he'll probably be remembered more than the band.
-
My second favorite song is "Fall to Pieces," by the way. So, yeah, never a huge STPer, sorry. Not so bad, though, era's A Team was epic. Fuck you want from me?

To their credit, 100xs better than anything that followed: Korn/Limp and the shit they ushered in, or the Staind/Creed "post-grunge" crowd.

they say less than 300 people showed up for the show, he stumbled and mumbled about the stage and played for an hour...[badly it is said]

Staid is a good live band.

The really big bands (The A Team) develop lifetime fans and play arenas for the rest of their careers. I can think of four bands from the 90s that fit the bill.
1. Pearl Jam
2. Tool
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. Foo Fighters
-
back in the day, it was millionaire rock stars in limos. Think of Crue or GNR in their heyday. The world envied their parties.
these days, thanks to record companies and the internet, artists (even those with hits) aren't millionaires selling out arenas anymore. a few small biebers left, but most are touring steady to make ends meet. You can have a hit song and still not be able to afford drugs. and it's just not cool like it used to be.

Although I like Tool, I wouldn't place them that high.
Throw in Soundgarden on that list.
And if Layne Staley wasn't on the dead list, I'd throw Alice in Chains in there, as well.

None metal?! Uh ... Huh?! Scorpions (most of the material) is metal; Ozzy is metal; Van Halen's first six is metal; AC/DC is ... mostly hard rock (but is very "metal" in its whole "thing"); Maiden is METAL (one of the style's very pillars); Metallica is metal (only the first four releases matter, for me, and it's one of the Big Four of '80s thrash); Anthrax is metal (one of the '80s' Big Four of thrash); Queensryche is metal (at least up until Empire, and then again after Geoff was replaced, on the last two); and Priest IS METAL (arguably one of the genre's very greatest architects).
And just so you know, I'm 45, and I have been listening faithfully to hard rock and heavy metal since I was 12. Own the entire discographies from every band you mention. And any available DVDs.
I buy, on average, between five and 10 CDs, each and every week.
I have a collection of extreme metal (thrash, death, black, etc.) that numbers in the thousands.
I adore some of the harshest, most extreme and vicious bands under the very wide (and inclusive) umbrella known as heavy metal.
For you to state bands like Priest, Maiden and Anthrax aren't metal is pure nonsense/a major attempt to appear contemporarily tr00.
Or you're just new to the music. As in, been a fan for less than 10 years.
I hate those who always try to move metal's lineage timeline further forward along as time passes. It's disrespectful to the style and shows an unwillingness to embrace the inherent sturdiness of this very progressive and sturdy musical form.
-
What once was called metal is now called rock. Shout at the Devil was a metal album when it came out.
No. What was once called metal is STILL called metal (country music from 1935 is still country music). Shout At The Devil will always be a metal record.
-

Of course. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous and exposes that person's lack of knowledge about metal's LONG history. Heavy metal is rock's longest enduring substyle.

Scorpions (most of the material) is metal; Ozzy is metal; Van Halen's first six is metal; AC/DC is ... mostly hard rock (but is very "metal" in its whole "thing"); Maiden is METAL (one of the style's very pillars); Metallica is metal (only the first for releases matter, and one of the Big Four of '80s thrash); Anthrax is metal (one of the '80s' Big Four of thrash); Queensryche is metal (at least up until Empire, and then again after Geoff was replaced, on the last two); and Priest IS METAL (arguably one of the genre's very greatest architects).
And just so you know, I'm 45, and I have been listening faithfully to hard rock and heavy metal since I was 12. Own the entire discographies from every band you mention. And any available DVDs.
I buy, on average, between five and 10 CDs, each and every week.
I have a collection of extreme metal (thrash, death, black, etc.) that numbers in the thousands.
I adore some of the harshest, most extreme and vicious bands under the very wide (and inclusive) umbrella known as heavy metal.
For you to state bands like Priest, Maiden and Anthrax aren't metal is pure nonsense/a major attempt to appear contemporarily tr00.
Or you're just new to the music. As in, been a fan for less than 10 years.
I hate those who always try to move metal's lineage timeline further forward along as time passes. It's disrespectful to the style and shows an unwillingness to embrace the inherent sturdiness of this very progressive and sturdy musical form.
I'M pretty much on board with all of this ,I have everything vh made I would not consider them 'heavy metal'hard rock/guitar rock/arena rock yes..Sabbath/maiden/priest heavy metal top 3,,,zeppelin certainly isn't metal but played loud and had many strong heavy songs but not metal just like VH..

If music like "Unchained" isn't metal ('70s American style) then ... ?
Zeppelin isn't strictly a metal band, no, but it was one of only a few groups that can lay claim to being a true prototype (that unarguably wrote and recorded quite a few heavy metal songs).

GROUPS like saxon/and the big 3 I mentioned started late 70's and bigger in the 80's layed the groundwork for that sound,VH was California band heavy on guitars and light vocals 'stage act'yeah some stuff was heavy but to me still a hard rock band compared to those others I mentioned,ac/dc is considered hard rock they had heavier sound when b Johnson came aboard.
-
Of course. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous and exposes that person's lack of knowledge about metal's LONG history. Heavy metal is rock's longest enduring substyle.
Hendrix, Bad Company, Creem, Steppenwolf are others who started the early screams of the heavy metal genre.
Good call on Scorpions, those guys have also been a band for like 50 years

You know, I own that album, but truth be told, I haven't listened to it in a very long time. As I remember, it is quite good. Moody. The song "Damaged" stands out as a killer number, for sure. I'll remedy my long time away from it. Thanks.
I actually enjoy Hear In The Now Frontier, the last with (awesome guy) DeGarmo, as well. However, I fully concede it's much less a metal album than one born of its confused-time-for-metal-bands era. Like grunge-lite, with a tightness and progressiveness unlike those Seattle groups.
Check out the latest with the new singer. It's a return to (mid-years) form.

The really big bands (The A Team) develop lifetime fans and play arenas for the rest of their careers. I can think of four bands from the 90s that fit the bill.
1. Pearl Jam
2. Tool
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers
4. Foo Fighters
Tool on that list? God no.

Yup, that's it NJ. They show it periodically on VH1 classic late Saturday nights. Best comprehensive doc on Metal/Hard Rock ever.

Same with me. Music came way before weight training/bodybuiding. Seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan when I was a little kid, then it just took off from there.

Of course, Tool is on that list. They've been around for 20 years and are still playing 20,000 seat venues.
That's an A-List band:

I don't dislike him because his music is disposable pop. I dislike him because HE'S a grade-A twat.
Everyone who knows anything knows he's a modestly talented kid who scored big when some connected and talented people chose him on YouTube over thousands of others of equal ability. He was a cute and non-threatening boy who was easily moldable to be groomed into what that specific demographic of youth craves in its pop stars.
But Bieber has grown to become a very unlikable jackass.
That his music is assembly-line, pre-digested radio pop (that he has very little hand in creating) is the least of why he needs to disappear. Hopefully sooner than later.

Don't laugh, I had to take both my daughters to a Bieber concert about 4 or 5 yrs ago. The screaming from the pre pubescent girls was louder than any concert I had ever been to :D

This really fucking sucks.
True story...
Over two decades ago, I was sitting at a bar and was depressed due to the fact that I had to seriously contemplate leaving a company I had worked at for the better part of 10 years. I had made many friends and grew within this institution. Unfortunately, the company was going in a direction that was no longer in line with my skill set and career goals.
Having to decide what to do in a situation that can alter your life brings about tremendous amounts of mental anguish. Decisions of such nature drastically alter the course which your life takes (friends change, money changes, comfort levels must be reestablished, titles must be reattained and sometimes living conditions must be reevaluated etc). As I sat there, downing rounds of scotch (Rob Roy to be particular, for those that drink), the acoustic version of Plush by the Stone Temple Pilots came on and I swear to you all, I found myself lost in the music. I remember reading that Scott Weiland had mentioned that the words to the song served as a metaphor for a failed relationship, in my case that relationship involved my workplace.
Anyhow, I sat there like a fucking pussy allowing for those lyrics to resonate deeply into my psyche.
Where ya going for tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
Then, after hours of drinking, I simply got up, went home to a good night's sleep and handed in my resignation the following morning.
Here's to Scott Weiland!

Thanks man. I felt terrible when I heard of his passing.
I loved his material while in the Stone Temple Pilots. I will also admit that I had high hopes for him when he essentially became the lead singer of practically the entire Guns N Roses band, but without the Heroin, he didn't quite sound the same.
Hard to know what these guys go through.

Music: Muse: The spiritual dimension
Music stimulates the senses more than all others combined
We drive to it, we sleep to it, eat, workout, fight to it ect.
Most people don't know or realize how powerful it is
I can recall what I was doing when I first heard a song that I really liked
My buddy told me that back in 84 him and his buddies would listen to Def's Pyromania during lunch at school while eating poor boys. Everytime he hears a song off that album today he gets the taste of poor boy in his mouth

What saddens me, is that I only know one person over here (Europe), who's familiar with the STP (but not the singer's name). Their Plush song was def hit, but the rock culture is almost dead here, thanks to the media :-\

I took guitar lessons for a while, but it wasn't for me, simply lack of talent.
-

I have played guitar as a hobby for 30 years.
To those without knowledge of the instrument, I'm a virtuoso; to people who know, I am a hack. ;D
I grew up with musicians who have gone on to become quite successful. For example, my high school buddy, Jason "Hook", is a guitarist in Five Finger Death Punch. Not that I'm a fan (a bit too broskie for my tastes). But without question, he's a VERY accomplished musician.
Him and I were Ratt fanatics (DeMartini!). I remain a fanboy (although I do think Infestation will be that band's final album).
-
STP broke around the grunge type sound and separated themselves pretty quickly to there own sound /fan base
CORE...was heavy guitar/drum sound.every song picked up the other a great 1st disc
Purple..more melodic and radio themed but good tunes,,some heavy tunes as well 'meatplow'vasoline'
SONGS FROM...REST TITLE ESCAPES ME ,,lady picture show 'mellow'but good tune,
4 ...I like ..sour girl good tune,some heavy stuff on it 6 songs rock..
-
I have had many offers to be a vocalist with guys setting up groups for years, I have sung on stage many times in clubs in one offs, did an acoustic set last year with a friend for a charity thing for some guys who are hard to house and came within a c.u.n.t hair of being offered to do the national anthem at a CFL game. For the lack of better words life, and a few times my vices got in the way.
I used to be able to sing most anything but these days I have not done it for so long it would def take a few weeks, some practice and a handful of karaoke outings to get me back to form
-
In my case, it's an appalling lack of talent. Just don't have the motor skills. Shitty typist, too.

Haha! Thanks again for posting that Rival Son's video by the way. I went out and bought the Great Western Valkyrie album and it's amazing. 'Where i've been' and 'My nature' are simply incredible, i can't stop listening to them.

Officially recanting my "B Team" bullshit. Been listening to the fuck outta these cats lately, and they're pretty damn extraordinary. Guess I just wasn't paying attention back when. "Sour Girl," "Tripping," "Atlanta," etc. - these are fucking classics.
Man was a musical genius, RIP.

I knew you'd come to your senses!
They play "hard rock" a genre not often found. His vocals are very manly, the guitars are cool but not overbearing or loud.
The ballads are also lovely if I do say so. "Lovin the aliens" "Fall to pieces" instant classics and so many others. No other style of music can do ballads like rock music.

This one's a MONSTER, just not STP. No one has EVER channeled Morrison truer than Scott on "Atlanta." Absolutely uncanny. Also, head and shoulders above all else at the Doors reunion/tribute deal. Totally nails "Break on Through," YouTube that shit.

Vedder is still very good though! The song "sirens" was one of the better ballad rock songs in a while.
I think Eddie likes to drink more than do hard drugs. Either can be disastrous...

The Storytellers they did on VH1 is simply amazing. Forty-plus minutes, Scotts's sober, lucid, and totally on top of his game. If you have some time to kill, give it a watch, a real treat.
Makes me sad now knowing what he still had to offer. But, hell, I had the guy on my deadpool like three years in a row, he just seemed determined to sabotage himself at every step. Might've just had a deathwish, and I can't say I don't get it. Sad as fuck, but you just can't convince someone so destructive that life is worth living.
Dude probably meant to die years before the reaper finally came knocking. Fucking shame, man, but hopefully he's found his peace.
