At present, cause of death is either undetermined or unannounced. I've been a fan of the guy's music and his voice since the first STP album.

ubit Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 That's very sad, he was a great singer. I love both STP and Velvet Revolver. He did have a problem with drugs apparently. 48 is no age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yeah, a lot of people expected this years ago. He had a few bad dalliances with the heroin and there were times it looked like he might not survive to work again. Scott was an enigma, and had a taste for drugs, but like Layne Staley and Kurt and others, undeniably talented. The first two 'Pilots albums are still regularly played in my house.

NancyJohnson Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Addiction. A horrible, but unshocking and early end. Loved early STP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz39 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yep - echo that: unique voice, great swagger. STP were an awesome band in the 90s, staple of my Uni days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatEric Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Oh dear. Recently been learning Fall to pieces (we used to do Slither) and have really enjoyed listening to him sing. 48! ? Really bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Shame. Core was a seminal piece of work, especially Crackerman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Oh no, Velvet Revolver were one of my faves and I thought Scott Weiland was a great singer and front-man. His drug problems have been well documented but this is still rotten news. Edited December 4, 2015 by Lozz196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Really sad, STP are the only band I followed from first album to last and loved them all, Scott's melodies were just so good. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Adored STP. Loved Velvet Revolver and was lucky enough to see them in 2008, just before Scott quit. One of the last great frontmen, derailed by drugs and demons, but always armed with a melody and a great voice. Now playing "Thank You" at not inconsiderable volume. RIP Scott. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I wish I could say it was a surprise . He was a great singer though, been listening so STP a lot lately and some of his stuff still blows me away. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 STP were one of the bands with whom I grew through my teenage years; I was lucky to see VR in 2004 and Scott was incredible. One of the best rock singers of his generation, as easily identifiable as Layne Stayley or Eddie Vedder. Will be listening to a lot of STP this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've been struggling with this today, we play a lot of his stuff in our set, think it's 5 songs all in. It will take on a different feeling when we play on the 20th. As many have said, he had some problems, and most unfortunately burned a lot of his bridges with the guys he made amazing music with. As has been said, there is no other words that sum it up like "waste"... That band up there just keeps getting better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 That's really sad. STP were a great band (saw them at Rock City circa 1994) RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
