Scott Weiland a day before being kicked out of STP: ‘No One’s Ever Fired Anybody In STP’

Talk about a backstab! Yesterday, we were telling you how Scott Weiland was fired from STP, and how he actually found out about it from the press. But there’s more drama here; ironically, just a day before this, he was giving an interview, saying how the band only needs some “fresh blood”, and how “no one’s ever fired anyone from STP”: “STP has not broken up. I haven’t quit. I haven’t been fired. We’re talking…

New Scott Weiland video: ‘Missing Cleveland’

It seems Scott’s really Happy In Galoshes. I mean, who can blame him, right?

New Scott Weiland video: ‘Paralyse’

After his recent, tumultuous ride with Velvet Revolver ended (for him, of course), Scott Weiland’s future became highly uncertain. He then eventually, and a bit surprisingly to be honest, got his old band, Stone Templer Pilots, back together and toured extensively, with a new album in the making being on the horizon, too. But for a man who’s ego’s hardly overthrown, not even by his own shadow, going solo is the best solution. “Happy In…

They claim that his lifestyle was almost unbearable, complaining about trips to rehab and that kind of stuff; but it’s only fair that the man speaks up for himself. dished Billboard reports that Weiland was very upset about the statement questioning his commitment to the group, when he said that the group was already dead, on…

Velvet Revolver says ‘bye bye’ to Scott Weiland

Well, we’ve written a lot about Velvet Revolver, because one thing’s for sure: keeping a supergroup together is hard. Scott Weiland has always been a nut job really agitated guy, getting involved into all sort of problems. But the man’s a great frontman, you have to give him credit for that. So, ever since he drove drunk and it was announced that the Stone Temple Pilots were reuniting, things started going downhill. Still, things seemed…
