R.I.P. -Scott Weiland

[jacobtlong]

I guess no one should be shocked. I am, though. Don't know why. I just am.

I don't know the cause of death just yet, but I know what everyone's first guess would be. Drugs. What a shame. Nothing worse than wasted talent.

Only 48. R.I.P.

Sad news. R.I.P., Scott. He was not old at all.

RIP-- too young!

RIP. It's a shame.

STP was always a favorite, a staple at parties and in the car. Such a shame.

Was good with Slash and Velvet Revolver, too.



RIP, Scott Weiland

...another one that couldn't escape the siren call of illicit substances, we have lost far too many to addictive demons.....

 

[Out of Order]

Far too young.........

RIP

Way too young. May he rest in peace.

No surprise (he's been flirting with the devil since the 90s), but sad.

 

[MadBoJangles]

I saw him perform the 2nd to last gig with Velvet Revolver in Manchester a few years ago.
RIP.

How painful for all those who loved him, you know they all tried. RIP

Not surprised. He had major addiction issues. No official word on cause of death but I'm sure it will turn out to be drug related. He seemed to have relapsed lately based on recent interviews and performances.

He was one of rock's last great frontmen

So bummed. This was the sound of my youth with my hubby. This was our second show together (really our first, since we had seen this awful band "Bush" a couple days before for some reason. They were lip-synching, no joke!) We had seen STP and Scott's solo stuff throughout his career. So many shows. He was amazing when he was sober and we only saw him that way actually, so we were lucky. Never saw a bad show. I am sitting here crying over someone I never met, but loved his music so much. This wasn't a big surprise, but my hope was always he would be the one to get past his addiction. We lost another great one to drug abuse. My heartfelt condolences goes to his wife and children and family members.

R.I.P. Now all his hurt is gone.

This was a tough one to read. I teared up a bit when I saw Scott's responses about his plans for the future. But it is a very nice article and a fitting tribute as well.

Aw geeze. Just now seeing this. Sucks.

Boy, them nineties cats sure liked their heroin. Sad.

I saw Stone Temple Pilots once. What a voice he had. Pretty small venue for them at the time. Indoor/outdoor

Mann Music Center.

They had a living room set up at one point. Just played on couches and chairs.
