What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this makes me really sad. I love Stone Temple Pilots first 4 albums to death. Scott was supposed to play in my hometown in just a few weeks. Me and my sister joked about going to see him to witness how messy it would be. Then this happens /: addiction is a hell of a disease man.

Wow. RIP

His lyrics were often obtuse and probably drug-fueled but I found them interesting. He also had
rock's prettiest voice, if you ask me.

Tiny Music... is a masterpiece.

Agreed, brilliant voice. Neck and neck with Chris Cornell for the best voice of the grungy rockers of the 80'/90's, I reckon!

Interstate Love Song is a very fond piece of my youth.

Damn shame

Just heard. man one of my fav. singers. I paid to go see him solo, but he got busted and the show was cancelled. What a loss.

Heroin, bad and evil. There is a lot of lack in people. Why we need God. Yea, we do.

Rest peacefully. He was a great talent and on one level, I'm relieved his struggles are over.

In Memoriam:

PS-drugs suck

There's something about this song that stays with me. Farewell, Scott.

What a tragedy...seems like fame comes with a high price.

Interesting. I saw another report that it was crack cocaine that was found. Seems interesting that this article above doesn't mention that it was crack...

Very sad and even sadder is trying to break an addiction, which is an everyday fight, people don't really understand those things. Some people can quit Cold Turkey and some just can't, but also a huge factor is the people you have around you, Scott's surroundings were not always those you need around you when trying to stay away from drugs. He did stop Heroin in 2002 but it was said Cocaine then came into the picture in 2007. Alot from that era just were angry adolescent kids when they dove into music and the scene, then money came in and what does money often bring, that element of friends and drugs etc....Some can steer clear and finding a "grounding" like say Dave Grohl or Eddie Vedder both married with Kids or some just burn out now Scott is on that list.

One of very few early '90s talents who contributed anything worth the listen. Very achy loss.

R.I.P -He had such a pretty voice.

Don't forget Layne Staley.

I was so gutted about this. Am a big fan of Velvet Revolver and STP.

Anyone who is a fan of Scott should check out the brilliant Art of Anarchy album he did with GNR guitarist Ron Bumblefoot Thal earlier in the year. Probably the best rock album I've heard since Chinese Democracy.

RIP Scott Weiland. Thankyou for the beautiful music.

I have been reading up on that record lately, apparently the band minus Scott were talking in an interviews about being a band and Scott was the lead singer. Scott denied they were a band, he said they just had some songs for me to sing on and I did it, but we are not a band. ANd they started to distance themselves from Scott.

But Scott was full of shit, because he filmed two music videos and did various photoshoots with the band. Why would he agree to do those things if he was just a session musician? I think he was cheesed off that Art of Anarchy was coming out at the same time as his solo album, and wanted to focus more on his own thing, so he distanced himself from the AOA project. But he was clearly a part of it at some point, regardless of what he said afterwards.

Either way, it's a bloody good record. One of the best rock albums I've heard in years. I play it daily.
