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 |

It was just lame. And the next album is just more of the same. Oh, and the songs were well below average. |

Consistent with what, exactly? Guys dying from heroin overdoses? Changing drummers every other year? Changing guitarists every album? Quote:

I thought Chad Smith has been their drummer since the late '80s. Now it does seem that they have a new guitarists every album.

I grew up in the middle of the Mecca of grunge music. Figures too. Seattle has the highest suicide rate.
That said, it was ****ing awesome. But it's long gone, and did it's best to kill mainstream rock. |

Um Californication with Kiedis writing amazing lyrics while getting loaded on heroin during the creative process was pretty damn good IMO. I think you are in the minority there.
And Pearl Jam still ****ing rocks so blow me.

If you guys are into AIC, check out Kill Devil Hill. Rex Brown from Pantera, Vinnie Appice from Sabbath and Dio, Dewey from Pissing Razors and Mark Zavon (badass mother****ing guitarist from Nebraska).
It's cool. The next record is even better. Check it. |
