smoking guns Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It was weird getting the posting from him yesterday afternoon and a few hours later, Dave Navarro and flurry of reports started popping up about his death. His body might have just called it a day in the middle of his sleep and people do have heart attacks in their 40s, even people who seemed to be healthy. Just have to wait for the actual cause and not speculate. This also happened on a tour bus, 20 years ago but too damn young. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/6737381/blind-melon-shannon-hoon-deathRIP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64_qnMmpqdgHe absolutely owns Wish You Were Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not meaning to be insensitive here, but this guy was a walking billboard for heroin addiction...it's very sad for his family, loved ones and fans but this guy's track record with junk was fucking ridiculous.I'm a massive GWAR fan, and when their lead singer (Dave Brockie AKA Oderus Urungus) died of a heroin overdose I was genuinely shocked, because I/everybody just assumed Dave was smarter than that.

rubbermade_baby Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Really sad. Was never a huge fan of his but I fell in love with my husband while at a VR gig and our first dance at our wedding was to his voice, so I associated him with some happy times . Rest in peace Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Scott singing Patience with the GNR guys was so good. He made that song his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprite Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Very sad to hear. Scott was a great singer and helped me through a lot of bad times in my life. He had a one of a kind style that will be severely missed. I've got nothing but respect for him. Rest in Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ManetsBR Posted December 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) To everyone, Id like to apologize for my incredibly stupid, childlike and distasteful comment earlier today. Im a big fan of Scott's and didnt mean to offend him or anyone, I was wasted as fuck and just trying to do a sort of joke. I regret posting it and am glad the mods deleted it. I dont know if any of you care or if it even matters - at this point -, but well, Im sorry.And kudos to everyone who called me out on this.

Turn_It_Up Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Saw this late night right before going to bed and couldn't sleep for hours. Then to wake to it like a nightmare come true.SW was such an interesting, complicated guy. On one hand, he loved the trappings of being a rock star(mostly the drugs), but he also had a side that was very grounded and a family person(when he was clean). Easy to see why he and Duff connected the way they did pre and during Contraband. I bet Duff takes this hard.RIP Scott and best to your kids. Will never forget you.

axlslash Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Jim Norton is on tour today, but Opie and Jimmy had Jim Florentine from TMS on this morning, opened the show with Sour Girl and then a nice chat about Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11dayempire Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 You know what's a great fucking song? You Got No Right - it hits me hard for some reason. God damn, I remember when they first broke that one out at the Smashbox fashion show. That's when I started to get really excited about the potential of this band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Slash, Duff, Matt, Mary, the Deleo's.......all turned their back on Scott. We should not discuss who turned their back on whom, they had their reasons.At this moment we should remember what great stuff Scott gave us over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11dayempire Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Slash, Duff, Matt, Mary, the Deleo's.......all turned their back on Scott. Duff fucking wrestled him into rehab when he joined Velvet Revolver – literally. If not for that, Weiland probably would've died back in 2003.

TOS--LOA Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Slash, Duff, Matt, Mary, the Deleo's.......all turned their back on Scott. I know it appears that way but if you've ever had a close friend or family member who is that deep into addiction, you help them as much as you possibly can but at some point they begin to pull you down with them and you just have to let go and hope they get the professional help they need. It's very much like saving someone who is drowning. Sure a lifeguard can do it but you're just a normal person their panic and flailing is going to pull you under too. RIP Scott. His musical talent was off the charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link to that version, I'm all torn up now. Him and Duff sharing a mic is just so great. I'm sure I'm reading into it a bit, but they just look like they have a tight connection on that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
