Headhunter Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Scott Weiland passed way yesterday at age 48. Dude had some problems obviously, but he was the quintessential front man and Stone Temple Pilots was a great band. Too young.... HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm honestly surprised he made it to 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing n autograph Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 He lasted longer than I thought he would. Great musician though. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pics Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I thought he was younger than 48.. I too am surprised he didn't die earlier.. he just couldn't shake the addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Boys I played with in a highschool band all really liked STP... wasn't that into them but certainly didn't mind the tunes, have a couple on the song list and Sour Girl played just last evening. All that talent, all the fame and success, and all that life wasted. A shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've got a gig on Saturday night in Scarborough, seems like the right thing to do would be to dedicate Interstate Love Song to Scott! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I must be getting old, I never heard of him till something about his death was on the news this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I must be getting old, I never heard of him till something about his death was on the news this morning. It's not an age thing Lew. He died at 48 so he was 4 years younger then myself and I never heard of him before yesterday. Just goes to show how much music there is out there and how we all can find something we like and get comfortable with it and not really give anything else a good listen. Regardless, sorry to hear the news. 48 is way to early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 STP was pretty much the soundtrack to my college years in the early 90s. I wasnt a monster fan, I liked them..........but everyone else was INTO THEM and you couldnt go a day without hearing them in dorm rooms, college bars and all the other college environments. Heck, i knew two seperate guys that played in two different STP cover bands lmao Definitely sad, but not a shock for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I loved them and alice and chains, both on repeat pretty heavy in the early 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 You can only run from that lifestyle for so long before it gets you. Added to a long list of others unfortunately. Sad to see such talent lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yep, pretty sad, but a long time coming. I was doing interstate love song last night on my new guitar. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Favourite song of STP was "still remains" . Very fitting song title for the moment at hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hell of a musician. Velvet Revolver was good too. RIP. For me, Trippin on a hole or sour girl were my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Like Blaque, U of G on a Thursday night was blasting the Hip, Pearl Jam, Nirvana and STP. I find it weird how the special people that have the talent and charisma to become rock stars, also have a definite problem with self destruction.

dave524 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 48 is actually pretty good, quite a few favourite musicians from my era were members of the 27 Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a lifestyle that leads to addictions....not so much self destruction. Terrible either way. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Seen him and the brothers (in STP) play a few times and I sure will miss him. To me he made Axl Rose look like a kid when it came to style & attitude along with talent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
