In fairness, I was not a fan of STP or him in general, but it's a really sucky thing to hear that he could not overcome his demons and make amends with his former bands even if they probably didn't want to work with him, anymore. These sorts of news makes you really reflect on the measure of a life and so forth.

Sad news. He was only 48. STP is one of my favorite bands and Interstate Love Song is what I'd call a perfect rock song. Will definitely be listening to STP discography later today. RIP Weiland.

Despite all his problems I always hoped this news would never come. I'm kind of at a loss for words, just so fucking sad.

Saw him at Rock on the Range earlier this year and he really wasn't himself at all. Such a powerful voice and gifted songwriter, and it's sad that it all ended this way.

R.I.P.

Kitchenware & Candybars and Atlanta are two of the best songs ever.

I'm friends with a concert photographer/reviewer who was really disturbed by seeing him around then. Lots of surliness, some being out of it, but also moments of brilliance.

Last friday after we found out, a friend and I broke out in an impromptu acapella version of Vasoline at work. Had to blast Core on the drive home.

I'm glad you posted this. William DuVall from AiC had posted the song when Scott died, then the link to the page when the band posted, but only saw the soundcloud at the bottom (I think I was on my phone at the time).

I like their commentary about the recording process too. Overdubbing of extra instruments, yes, click tracks and a zillion effects, no. Scott's vocals alone are beautiful, not robotically perfect, but beautiful.

For some reason this song popped in my head this evening. Went back to that web page and noticed a certain person familiar to this forum on the credits.

Its just her word of course but it sounds like judging from the article that he wasnt the best father and hardly even paid child support.

Its just kinda pathetic.

Again, we dont know these people so its hard to make total judgements but my point is, being a single parent is tough. If the guy
cant even pay child support thats just pathetic.

Again I liked the guys music dont get me wrong. But yeah sorry I hate deadbeat parents. My mom got some things wrong and my
dad got some things right but most of the time my dad was lazy and just watched tv. My grandpa was the same way. My mom had to make all the hard decisions and do most of the real work. Theres no way to know for sure, but if what his ex wife said is true then yeah I honestly lost some respect for the guy. Even though hes dead and its best to just move on. Everyone has their demons and thats sad but seriously I dont think its an excuse to be a terrible parent.

Again theres no know way to know the full story but theres my thoughts on parenting.

You're right. There is no way to know the full story. That's it. Anything regarding Scott's marriage is absolutely none of our business. He's not your brother or your uncle. In no way shape or form does his parental and marital issues detract from his insane contributions to alternative rock. They're not your friends and if their personal lives influence how you enjoy their output then you're gonna have to cut a lot of musicians out of your listening rotation.

Yeah, I like a lot of musicians' music. It doesnt mean I see them as a role model. And it doesnt mean I look up to them. A lot of people I look up to are ordinary people.
