so it finally happened.

Well that sucks. STP was awesome. Scott was a great singer.

He was a good frontman. RIP Scott

Strange the way even though something can feel so inevitable it can still be a kick in the balls when It happens.

No lie, I was going to see him in Rochester tonight. I love Scott Weiland. He was a mess, but he was also fucking awesome.

Scott was a good guy. we hung out a few times, shot up etc. crazy good times.

Dead and Bloated.

One of those you can't surprised by but still, damn.
I saw STP a few times during the 90s. Fun shows and he was a heck of frontman.

I wonder what PJ will cover on their next tour?

I saw them once at a festival show (HFStival in DC), and it was a good show for that environment. Them and RATM were the headliners.

I was never a huge fan of the STP, but they certainly have a handful of songs I really like.

Im really sad. It was something we all kinda knew and it seems he was worse, but for some reason, i thought he was going to be ok.

Have they released official cause of death yet?

Damn it this makes me sad. When I heard the news on the radio this morning I had to hold back a tear. It feels like a small part of my youth dies with Scott Weiland. STP was just one of those "right bands at the right time" when I was 15 years old and Core was released.

I always figured he'd be one of those guys that should have died young but lived to be a old man like Iggy Pop or Keith Richards. Nope. He had a real gift for coming up with great vocal melodies.

Totally sucks, he had not been well for years. I feel like part of my childhood died today

Yep. Same exact feeling I had when MCA died. I'm still bummed about losing Yauch.

you guys nailed with that. I feel the same..its weird but feels like a part of my childhood is gone.

glad i got to see him play one last time last month.

Very sad to hear

Sad to hear about his passing. Lots of good memories.

True talk, and not trying to take away from people's thoughts today, but: for some reason, I never got into STP. I knew all of their singles that were on the radio, but I never bought an album, couldn't name all of their albums, and can't name a single non-album song. When Velvet Revolver was a thing, I didn't get the hype. It's odd, too, because it seems like a band like STP would have been right in my wheelhouse.
