Scott Weiland (ex Stone Temple Pilots and ex Velvet Revolver) was found dead in his tour bus last night while on tour with his new band the Wildabouts. It's truly a shame, I had a listen to Velvet Revolver's "Slither" this morning and was just overcome with sadness. RIP Scott.
Scott Weiland Found Dead
Very sad news, but not entirely unexpected. He was a supremely talented man and, when he was clean and sober, was engaging, funny and bright. Sadly, he had well-documented demons to which he appears to have eventually succumbed. RIP.
Sad News.
Loved the STP's back in the day, always thought 'Tiny Music....' was a hugely under rated album.

I'm shocked. He was supposed to have been clean from drugs for years. Maybe he relapsed? So sad. He was a terrific artist. I loved Stone Temple Pilots. I especially love his solo album 12 Bar Blues. Wasn't a huge Velvet Revolver fan but liked some of their music. Scott was a very versatile artist musically. RIP Scott. 
It's just really sad.
I saw STP at Reading many many years ago, and while Scott may have had his issues, he was a bloody fantastic front man and a very talented musician.

I found out about Scott Weiland passing this morning when I turned on the computer.
I was shocked and very saddened. I loved his voice and his work with STP as well as with Velvet Revolver.
Tomorrow I'll have a bit of ale and a listening marathon to honour him.
RIP, Scott.

Very sad news indeed. I met Scott around 10 years ago, when he was on tour with Velvet Revolver. He seemed a nice guy , but looked totally wasted then , although he was supposedly clean at the time. I've a terrible feeling that his lifestyle has caught up with him , but he has left a great musical legacy. Today I listened to Core and Purple again , I haven't listened to them in years, but they have certainly stood the passing of time.
TMZ is reporting that Scott Weiland suffered cardiac arrest/crack use.
Very sad news - super talented frontman. Never got into STP so much but was a massive Velvet Revolver fan (they were actually the band that got me into GNR).
Sad news.....I would have expected this a few years back but thought he was meant to be pk these days. Never a massive fan but always rated his voice and enjoyed quite a few of his songs along the way....Sex Type Thing was always massive for me! Fall To Pieces as well, a fantastic vocal on that one.
