What's Going On????

Sometimes, what is will always be. Scott Weiland is a train wreck. He's the lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots. Sure. He may be the last true American Rock star we have. He may have written some of the best lyrics the 90's have ever seen. He's also a train wreck. His destructive life style was part of what made the product we love, and it's probably going to tear that prouct away from us as well. It's hard to turn your back on something you love, and even harder to admit that something you love is not as beautiful as what you've convinced your heart that it is? Sound pathetically mushy? Good. I'm going for sensitive. I have a big female audience. My point is, the story below is what Scott Weiland is, and probably will always be. So if you're shocked by any of this, you might just be a little too naive for your own good.

Stone Temple Pilots just cancelled a few shows in Texas. Surprise!!!!! This comes after yet another debacle of a performance by STP front man Scott Weiland, who greeted Houston crowds only 1 hour later than usual and padded the set list with ramblings about his drug addiction and a failed marriage. I know, I know, he's an ARTIST. Who am I to expect fans to see the product they paid for WHEN they paid for it and in a condition worthy of the money they shelled out. According to Canoe.Ca This was Weilands rant

"I believe in music, I believe in rock 'n' roll, I believe in friendship and family. But you know what, on the 8Th December will be time (sic) when I stopped doing dope... I started drinking again. I got divorced, my wife... And my whole world basically spun around and so you know what, I'm gonna take care of myself (now) because that's what I need to take care of... Instead of just having a few shows, I wanna have a whole hell of a lot of shows."


Who doesn't love STP? Four of the best Alternative Rock albums and two okay ones belong to them. I think their best days are way behind them though. I caught them this summer in Camden New Jersey. Besides some of those classics sounding like they were being played in quicksand at times, Weilands stage act looked like a parody of a Scott Weiland stage act, which is really a better Mick Jagger performance than any Stone could Roll out in the last fifty years. It's sad to see legends fall.
