What I meant is the cocktail of meds/drugs me must have been on. If it gets released.

It will. I just assumed heroin, but firsthanders are saying coke/crack.

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.

Nah... STP was not that great to me.

I did like Velvet Revolver though. He was good there.

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).

[Bindare_Dundat]

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.

The problem is, Adam really , truely has zero life. That's what happens when you haven't had to work for anything your whole existence.

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.

   You've been on a good run recently.

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.

[The_Punisher]

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

[The_Punisher]

Dude was up there with Chris cornell as the best voice in rock

PIP

in his Prime, Scott Stapp could hold his own too

[Thin Lizzy]

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.

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.'

Scott was 48.

Don't care.

The guy had the world by the ass and was too weak mentally to give up the high.

I'm only sorry for those he left behind

Not a "curse" ... a series of choices by people who knew better.
