STP has long disbanded. Weiland was on tour with his latest band, The Wildabouts. He was 48, and a notorious heroin addict. No word on whether this is what did him in.
Weiland, for all his problems, was the premier voice of the “grunge” era.

Notoriously know for his heroin use, I am surprised he lasted this long. He had the addict look and it was more apparent as he aged.
Too bad because he had such talent.
I like STP. Scott was also front man for Velvet Revolver.

STP and Alice in Chains are by far my 2 favorite bands from that era, and both lead singers are dead.
With Kurt Cobain dead, if I were Eddie Vedder I’d go to the doctor today.
Love Alice In Chains!
48 though. That isn’t exactly young for a substance abusing rocker.
Hey, don’t bury him yet. I just saw that Coldplay will be the main event at the superbowl halftime. Weiland dead could probably put on a better show.
Grunge though. That is the music of my youth. I hear that, and I’m back in my college years. Def Leppard takes me back to high school but grunge/alt rock takes me back to college.
Amazing how music is a time machine. It’s like I can SMELL the cigarettes and stale beer of a frat party.
Chris Cornell is the one who has had an excellent run with Soundgarden, and Audioslave and with the Zac Brown Band. Dude has a killer voice.
Audioslave…Be Yourself:

He’s a liberal a-hole but I would never deny that Vedder has the voice and Pearl Jam has survived the death of grunge and rock music all-together.
Nirvana, STP and Smashing Pumpkins (although not grunge) were my favorites from that era.
Me too, BFH. Layne and Scott were so talented. It was just a matter of time. The music they wrote while high on drugs was amazing. I just wish they could’ve reigned it in, lived and not performed while on them. RIP.
Scott will end up being a Hologram show in Vegas.
Don’t forget about Chris Cornell.
Hell, my understanding is that Rosa Parks was just flat out tired from cleaning houses for 12 straight hours, that’s why she didn’t move to the back of the bus. WTF’s his excuse?? oh, he did drugs, huh? well then, carry on, rocker, not like doing drugs could ever hurt anybody.
Really, Kurt Cobain was more the voice of that era.
A unique voice and one of the few grunge bands that actually had talent.
LOLOL it’s true.
I hate that song. lol
Why were all the grunge bands trying to sing like Ray Charles with a sore throat? 😀
