Got to see STP live when I was 17. I had a party over my parents house while they were at work...drinking 40s of colt 45, probably smoking blunts and had about 3 car loads of people drive about 5o minutes away to the show. Just a great time, good music, and just ballin |

Re: RIP Scott Weiland
Loved STP back then. I was a little too young to realise they were mooching Pearl Jam but in the end they actually outlasted three of the big four. I actually in retrospect think they're pretty damn underrated. Sad to hear about Weiland. Drugs suck. Don't do 'em people.

Re: RIP Scott Weiland
It's unfortunate that he passed away so young. The only time I ever saw them live was back in 2011ish at the DC101 CCO, and I'm not gonna lie, it was easily the worst show I've ever attended. They were headlining, AIC rocked the crowd right before them, then they made us wait over an hour before they took the stage. It was clear Weiland was lit, he was slurring his words and stumbling everywhere. I was pretty disappointed back then. If the reports about his relapse are true I won't be surprised. Addiction is a motherfucker. RIP Scott Weiland.

Re: RIP Scott Weiland
A couple of my friends just saw him perform a few days ago. Wish I could have seen STP in their prime.

Re: RIP Scott Weiland
I hate to say this because it sounds like I'm getting old...but damn I was lucky to come along when I did becuase the music growing up was damn good and just rock n roll. Bands giving everything live and it was essentially popular music under the label of grunge or alternative. Bands like nirvana, STP, soundgarden, pearl jam, smashing pumpkins, AIC, Janes addiction etc...even bands that got effng huge like rem, u2, Metallica, chili peppers or bands that were slightly more underground like sonic youth, dinosaur jr, primus, nine inch nails, pixies, breeders etc WERE Effin Great Rockin roll and didn't give a fuck about image or style.
Dudes, popular music today is effing garbage. Skrillx? Imagine dragons? Fuckin terrrrrible hip hop acts. What happen to Rock music? I mean this stuff sux...even the stuff that passes for rock is borderline whimpy..there are some indie stuff that is good, but in popular music, rock is kinda dead. |

The scene I'm talking 1990-1995 was pretty big...Seattle, alternative going mainstream(i.e. College, punk rock) and the emergence of hip hop. It literally killed 80s. The indie rock scene we have today is literally based on that period (sub pop, matador labels). |
