spunko12345 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Was more shocked and saddened than I thought I would be when I heard,RIP Scott.Same here. Really sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I sucks when there might be another person involved and they don't come forward to help.After Janie Lane of Warrant was found dead in a hotel room of alcohol poisoning there was supposed to have been someone there at the time, but I'm not sure if he ever came forward.I understand you are scared, but if this person is your friend you need to come forward and help the police.Too many loses to drugs and alcohol. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) It's only in rare instances I recommend a best of album, but really in STP's case they really were so eclectic, in checking out just one album you would miss out on everything else they were about. Some band there's that one album that just about covers the gambit but not in STP's case. Gun to my head, pick an album I'd say Purple is a good one to ease your way into them. I feel if you listen to just core, you'll get the wrong impression of them. Edited December 5, 2015 by TeeJay410 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's one of the biggest news sites in the country. The beginning of the article translates as: "Bassist Robert DeLeo of the band The Wildabouts has been arrested in connection with the investigation surrounding the death of frontman Scott Weiland. The band member was in possession of cocaine."They continue to say:"The other band members, along with bassist, wrote a letter of thanks to the singer. "Let us start by thanking you for sharing your life with us," said Robert DeLeo, drummer Eric Kretz and guitarist Dean DeLeo their letter, they put on Facebook.

Patience 4 Axl Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Damn...He seems a bit detached in that interview, but otherwise looks fine to me. Saw him live many times, it's surreal to think he's actually gone. I'm so bummed about his passing. And hearing he would have been open to a VR reunion makes me feel even sadder. He had a brilliant career and accomplished so much, but he left this world too soon, and I know there could have been so much more.he had been open for awhile now...it would have never happened thoughYeah, it just feels sadder hearing it 2 days before he dies.And I would never say never.

gunsfanoldie Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Its a long shot, but I doubt anyone has torrents from VR in the summer of 2007. I think that was their peak. Saw them at PNC in August of that month (think it was like the 14th or something), and it was still the best show I've ever seen. Would love to relive it.Just tried to show my dad the opening of that show, with Slash behind that curtain looking like a giant. One of the coolest things I'd ever seen. Unfortunately non of the Youtubes really do it justice, but that was a really awesome leg of the tour. They really meant it and seemed like they were destined for big things. I also like how they didn't shoot right into arenas. They were openers for people, they played clubs and ballrooms, then amphitheaters. Maybe they couldn't do bigger than that, but I always thought with the star power they probably could and chose to build up the right way.

sliverjazz Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Damn man. You just alerted me to Janie Lane being dead. Seriously. I tried avoiding glam but i thought he was doing ok a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Myself and P5 I know are big fans of Scott's solo stuff. I'll say this, it sure isn't for everyone including some hardcore STP fans I know. I just watched this for the first time in years. How awesome is this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried avoiding glam but i thought he was doing ok a few years ago.Lol yeah he's been dead for awhile. Actually quite sad too, but an even lesser band (to most) so it made a small impact. From his interviews right before his death, he did finally seem content. Sad to see he died like less than a month after becoming productive again.

I plan on reseeding the Darien Lake 2007 show as well, that was my first time seeing Scott. You're spot on, he was absolutely on fire in 2007.EDIT: It was the Trenton 2007 video that got reseeded, not PNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Terrible terrible loss. Talented musician, intelligent man and amazing singer. The world lost a great one - way before his time. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Agreed. Absolutely tragic.My first real experience of GN'R was VR playing 'It's So Easy' live and he made it his own. Why he could never kick his drug habit remains one of life's great mysteries; like are we alone in this universe? Or what need is there for Chris Pitman to have a keyboard on a slinky?

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 My cousin met Scott in a hospital where her daughter was admitted and later passed. They talked for a bit. She doesn't remember much else because she was consumed with grief. This was back in 2000. I think he was there because of his daughter was having asthma problems.

double talkin jive mfkr Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) i've been listening to STP on repeat since the news, including all the good grunge era stuff which I would say he does not fall into this category, true rock n roller his sound in STP was the best for the time Edited December 6, 2015 by double talkin jive mfkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl4Prez2004 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm not surprised at all.

chevelle Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The absolute most frustrating part of this was that I could've seen him play in my area a little over a week ago, but didn't because I figured it would mostly be Wildabouts stuff...really fucking kicking myself on that one now.
