I'm sure you've heard one way or another that one of my favorite musicians died last night, Scott Weiland.

 

You've probably heard one of his songs from Stone Temple Pilots, or his other famous band Velvet Revolver. 

Scott was touring with his solo band The Wildabouts when he was found dead on 12/3 from cardiac arrest on his tour bus before a show.

 

He struggled with drugs and other problems. I'm going to steal this comment I saw from Reddit:

 

 

I think it's as good of a time as any to remind anyone who is struggling with drug addiction, or with demons in general to please get help. It's too late for Scott, but it's not too late if you're still here with us. Nobody deserves to struggle alone; you aren't alone and never will be. 1-800-273-8255 is the crisis/suicide prevention hotline. Please don't hesitate to call that number if you need to do so. As cliche as this may sound, life does get better, so make sure you're there to see it. (SOURCE)

I'm not sure why I'm writing this, maybe as therapy. I took this death pretty hard as I grew up listening to him. 

 

We should celebrate his life by playing his songs, the same way we celebrate Kurt, Layne, Dio, and everyone else we lost.

 

Thanks for your music, your talent, and everything.

One of my good friends put his cover of Atlanta (STP) up:

Really sad. I'm going to dedicate the night to learning some STP songs. 

Sex Type Thing, the song I first heard from them, when it came out (yes I'm old), won't DL for me for the bass version. The other version is only lead. This makes me even sadder.  :(

It's so sad. I loved STP. R.I.P. Weiland. We always remember him. :(

Well, the faster stuff kicked my arse. I got Creep and Plush pretty good.

Thank you Scott for the great music. You will be missed but your music will live on through us. 

I think he was a free man, doing what he wanted, knowing the risks, 

With the cash he earned, he supplied the drug dealers business. 

Meanwhile, by the time I read this, 5 children died from hunger and wars in the world.

Don't forget about the real sad things. :angry:

bye Scott.

thanks for everything.

songs,sadness and fun.

RIP Scott, vuela alto Scott que la muerte te de paz...

gonna be working on some STP tracks now, i will put them up today at any means

RIP one of my favorite bands in the 90's. I remember listening to Plush in MTV, and I was amazed. Gonna learn that song very soon. RIP, Scott. You were an amazing guitarist.  

Damn auto correct you probably meant to say amazing vocalist.

yeah i was so sad to hear he died ;-; and it makes it really bad is that he died on my 17th birthday, i was playing creep on rocksmith and my dad walked in my room and was like, "guess who died"  it was a pretty crappy end to a awesome day </3 RIP Scott Weiand.
