GarethFlatlands Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Gutted about this, I basically learned guitar by brute forcing my way through the tab books for the first 3 STP albums so they'll always be a favourite and an important part of shaping me as a musician. Spending the day listening to the classic STP tracks on Youtube and Spotify and getting unusually emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) And just to say so long Scott - a sad loss of talent and a proper human being. The song that many people misunderstood ( especially guys ) , but was in fact a reaction to his girlfriend being gang raped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aDxyfH3Uqs Edited December 5, 2015 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damonjames Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Just clicked the sex type thing link above... I was not really into these guys back in the day, I discovered then a little too late, but I guess I'd always hoped that Scott and the rest of the band (stp or velvet revolver) would be able to sort out there differences and tour again. Seeing that clip an knowing Scott is no longer with us is heartbraking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]From TeamRock.com. Sad.[/font][/size] [b] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Scott Weiland's widow Jamie says she's unlikely to get money from singer's estate.[/font][/size][/b] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Scott Weiland left behind "an enormous amount of debt" when he died, according to his widow Jamie Wachtel Weiland. [/font][/size][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The photographer married the former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman in 2013 and says she doesn't expect to be given any money from his estate, said to be worth at least $2million. [/font][/size][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Wachtel Weiland tells the Joe Howard Show (via [url="http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/scott-weilands-widow-discusses-his-death-audio/"]Blabbermouth[/url]): "I think there's this preconceived notion that Scott, being a rock star, must have just had millions in the bank, and that I'm probably just sitting pretty and just collecting money, and it's the antithesis of the truth.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]"He, unfortunately, passed away with an enormous amount of debt. There were a lot of loose ends that were never dealt with.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]"I could have fought a lot more to be involved in the mess that was left behind, but the truth is, for a long time, I was completely paralysed. I was incapable of doing anything. It was hard for me to just get through the day, much less lawyer up and deal with all the legalities of an estate and probate. And the other thing, too, is that I really just want to move on with my positive memories of my husband. I want to move on as an artist. I am fortunate that I do have a career. I had a career when I met him. It was somewhat shelved for a while there, because I toured with and I was involved in his business."[/font][/size] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]"But I am lucky that I can go back to that now and get that going again, and I don't really need to cling to his coattails and try to wring money out of his estate."[/font][/size] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Wachtel Weiland has made a claim for just $64,000 from the estate, money that he owed her. [/font][/size][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]She adds: "As far as the claim that I made, it was just very perfunctory. We had a prenuptial agreement, he was supposed to pay a certain amount of money. [/font][/size][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]He only paid it twice. It's just a formality. To be honest, I'll probably never see that money, and anyone that understands how prenuptial agreements actually work and how his estate was left gets that."[/font][/size] [size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Weiland died in December 2015 aged 48. He was found dead on his tour bus, where he was on the road with his band The Wildabouts. Hennepin County Medical Examiner in Minneapolis confirmed that he died after taking cocaine, ethanol and methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA).[/font][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
