Heroin user, yeah? The corruption of the brain is so intense in long term users that whoever the Scott Weiland was who joined STP and made those first records had died a long time ago.
I never really liked STP, but I kinda dug his first solo album.

Esquire has an interview he did in 2005 up. Talks extensively about his drug use and his new found sobriety. Crazy shit like copping at Cabrini Green and shitty parts of D.C.

Sad to see him go. Loved the 1st 4 STP albums.
Not surprised though, esp with those recent cilps of him royally fucking up songs.

I always felt like I should really be into STP, but I never really have been. I remember being into No. 4 for a while as a teenager. Now that he's dead I feel more compelled to listen for some reason. I get what trag is saying about STP just kinda being there, but I think I kinda dig that.

I'd like to see STP put out a retrospective live album with Scott as the singer. Something to celebrate his time in the band.

A Song For Sleeping is Scott's signature song for me. I'll readily admit I'm probably the only person in the world that thinks that but it's really beautiful.

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.
I mean no disrespect to the deceased or those who felt a deep connection to his music, but...Yea. I really enjoyed their first three albums when they were new, and will occasionally toss one on. But what I loved about STP was the riffs, BOB's 90s production, and Weiland's voice. But his lyrics never seemed to have any substance, and the band never positioned themselves as being particularly aligned with any sort of message or cause, so they always just struck me as a deftly talented commercial band full of great songs, but devoid of any deeper meaning or chance for connection.
that's where I was. Of the A list grunge bands they were definitely the ones I cared about the least.

Interstate Love Song has a really timeless quality. Its distinctly 90s but at the same time fits seamlessly along side classic rock tunes from different decades.

Neh, those usually take like 4-8 weeks it seems like. Guarantee they'll do a toxicology test on this one.
