RIP Scott Weiland

[ACH]

RIP Scott...

Having moved to the Seattle area in the late 80's, you and STP (MJY at the time) were the first live act that I would catch introducing and ultimately immersing me into the burgeoning PNW grunge culture and all that it meant at that time. A permanent part of my play list, your music legacy lives on.

[Peruvian]

I think I saw them back at one of the Lollapolloozas or Festivals back in the early/mid 90s. Memories are fuzzy due to drink and drugs.

It was '92. I caught the fest out in Bremerton, WA.

[TahoeJ]

I still listen to STP all the time. Those first couple of albums especially.

[adrenalated]

I got my first Discman was I was 10, and Purple was one of, if not the first, CD I ever owned. RIP.

It's wild how, despite passing so young, these guys like Scott W, P. Seymour Hoffman, Kobain and many others manage to impact so many. Pollinating bees of our culture.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Kobain?

[wicked_sick]

Let's have Candle Light Vigil for him

[t-the-east]

That's cold. I still chuckled.

[prsboogie]

Cobain?

"Fixed" it for you, and I laughed a little as well!

[Mofro261]

It was '92. I caught the fest out in Bremerton, WA.

Me too. Damn, the whole line up was stacked that year.

[Bromontana]

Kobain?

Cripes!

[TomCrac]

What's funny about that?

Saw Billy Corgan's eulogy/post in response to Weiland's death. He ended it with that he's always thought that the preeminent voices of their era were Weiland, Kurt, and AiC's Layne Staley.

Yeah, it took scott weiland too though.
At least he died doing what he loved?

It may be half a day later but you're a dick.

I see what you did there! Guy was a thief from day one-Chucky Ware and Lucys Fur Coat is where he stole all his moves.Sad for his family but he was a flaming asshole to all he met.

[Rodneyyee]

damn that sucks, RIP. i saw STP on the first tour back sometime in 93/94. he had a weird (unique) stage presence. i guess it was the H.

i still crank up my STP mix tape on ski days. i'll crank it to 11 this weekend.

Nope all an act-puoser of the highest order.

How can you KOBAIN ????? And putting weiland in cobains/hoffmans league? come on man. lets keep this in perspective.

[Rodneyyee]

It may be half a day later but you're a dick.

no actually musically speaking he is pretty right on, unless you thought anything they did was original. Sheep.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Roddys a hardcore grunge enthusiasts. Shit, he was born in '93!

[yeahman]

Sad, but not unexpected. Saw the STP show in Missoula in '94. Great show. Word was that Weiland was spotted shooting up behind Charlie's bar later that night.

Strange coincidence, but tomorrow I am going to a memorial service in Missoula for a friend and former roommate, also 48 years old, who also succumbed to substance abuse. Started the Board of Missoula snowboard shop back in the late '80s, basically brought snowboarding to the town and Snowbowl. Sucks when people die so young. RIP.

Saw Billy Corgan's eulogy/post in response to Weiland's death. He ended it with that he's always thought that the preeminent voices of their era were Weiland, Kurt, and AiC's Layne Staley.

I agree with that completely. Corgan's voice should almost be on that list too.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Ahhh, yaaa, no.

[BmillsSkier]

It's Billy Corgan, you either love him or hate him.

[Dhelihiker]

I never thought he would make it passed 40, RIP I bet he is smoking meth in haven right now.

[Bromontana]

Billy Corbin is a good vocalist for sure.
