Stone Temple Pilots fire lead singer
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
FIRE Lead Singer Scott Weiland BREAKING NEWS Stone Temple Pilots has unceremoniously FIRED its lead singer Scott Weiland ... who's been the face of the seminal rock band for 20 years. The group released an ominously curt statement today, saying, "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland." They don't give any further explanation. It's pretty shocking for several reasons ... the main being Weiland has been a core member of the group since it came together in 1986. His voice has become synonymous with STP's sound ... on hits like "Plush," "Sour Girl," and "Sex Type Thing." Another reason this came out of nowhere ... Weiland denied rumors he was leaving the band just yesterday, telling Rolling Stone, "STP has not broken up. I haven't quit. I haven't been fired." Rumors of a split began a couple of months ago when Slash said STP had fired Weiland. STP reformed in 2008 after a 5-year hiatus and toured through last year -- but apparently it hasn't been working out. So far, it's unclear who STP has in mind to replace Weiland ... if anyone. Weiland is set to launch a solo tour next month. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2013/02/27/stone-...#ixzz2M7YJSpty Visit the TMZ Store: http://tmzstore.com |

I actually heard the demos with Josh and Keith and believe it or not, they were really cool. I liked them better than the records with Weiland. Sure, they were 80's sounding but IMO, it worked. |

I didn't care much for the second record overall and thought the third was better, but it didn't really work, either. The band would jam their stuff, while Chris was a in a corner writing something on acoustic guitar. You can hear on the second and third record that they're slowing becoming the Chris Cornell solo band, which is why they ultimately broke up. |

Izzy's solo albums kick ass.
love River, JuJu Hounds, Miami, Ride On, Wave of Heat, and 117 Degrees. Real cool Stonesy vibe. You can definitely tell he was the 'Guns' in GN'R. 'new STP' sucks, btw. That's why I bumped this thread. It's AWFUL.
